A vertical piston-cylinder device contains a gas at a pressure of 100 kPa. The piston has a mass of 10 kg and a diameter for 14 cm. Pressure of the gas is to be increased by placing some weights on the piston. Determine the local atmospheric pressure and the mass of the weights that will doublethe pressure of the gas inside the cylinder.
Answer:
the local atmospheric pressure is 93.63 kPa
the mass of the weights is 156.9 kg
Explanation:
Given that;
Initial pressure of gas = 100 kPa
mass of piston = 10 kg and diameter = 14 cm = 0.14 m
g = 9.81 m/s²
Now,
P_gas = P_atm + P_piston
100 = P_atm + P_piston --------- let this equation 1
P_piston = M_piston × g / A = (10 × 9.81) / π/4×d²
P_piston = 98.1 / (π/4×( 0.14 )²)
P_piston = 98.1 / 0.01539 = 6374,269 Pa = 6.37 kPa
now, from equation 1
100 = P_atm + P_piston
we substitute
100 = P_atm + 6.37
P_atm = 100 - 6.37
P_atm = 93.63 kPa
Therefore, the local atmospheric pressure is 93.63 kPa
Now for pressure of the gas in the cylinder ⇒ 2×initial pressure
Pgas_2 = 2 × 100 = 200 kPa
Pgas_2 = P_atm + P_piston + P_weight
Pgas_2 = P_gas + P_weight
we substitute
200 kPa = 100 kPa + P_weight
P_weight = 200 kPa - 100 kPa
P_weight = 100 kPa = 100,000 Pa
Also;
P_weight = M×g / A
100,000 Pa = ( M × 9.81 ) / (π/4 × (0.14)²)
100,000 × 0.01539 = M × 9.81
1539 = M × 9.81
M = 1539 / 9.81
M = 156.9 kg
Therefore, the mass of the weights is 156.9 kg

Hence the impulse is 49 Ns
A stone is dropped from the top of a high cliff with zero initial velocity. In which system is the net momentum zero as the stone falls freely
Answer:
A system that includes the stone and the earth.
Explanation:
If the system of being dropped from the height of the cliff consists of just the stone alone, then it means that its momentum will certainly undergo changes as it falls freely. However, If the system is now expanded to include not only the stone but also the Earth, then it implies that the momentum of the stone which is in the downward direction will be equal and opposite to the momentum of the Earth in the upwards direction towards the stone. Therefore, the momentum will cancel out and net momentum will be zero.
A system of stone and earth can result to a net zero momentum.
Conservation of linear momentum
The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that the sum of the initial momentum is equal to the sum of final momentum.
[tex]m_1u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2 v_2[/tex]
A system that consists a linear system of stone and earth can result to a net zero momentum.
Thus, a system of stone and earth can result to a net zero momentum.

The student maintains a speed of 20 m/s on the roadway, but is required to make an emergency stop on the three sepearte occasions. On levels roadway, it takes 25 m to stop. On a downward-sloping roadway, it takes 40 m to stop. On an upward-sloping roadway, it takes 18 m to stop. Explain why the stopping distances are different. (Focus answer using work and energy, other concepts may be used as well but be sure work and energy are included.)
Answer:
Explanation:
It is frictional force of the ground that helps in bringing the vehicle to stop . In the process of stopping , negative work is done on the car by friction force to overcome its kinetic energy .
At levelled road , for stoppage
Kinetic energy of vehicle = Work done by frictional force . = friction force x displacement .
At upward slopping road , gravitational force acting downward also helps the vehicle to stop do friction has to do less work .
At upward inclined road , for stoppage
Kinetic energy of vehicle = Work done by frictional force + work done by gravitational force = (friction force + gravitational force ) x displacement .
Hence displacement is less .
At downward slopping road , friction has to do more work because friction has to do work against gravitational force acting downwards wards and kinetic energy of the vehicle also .
At downward inclined road , for stoppage
Kinetic energy of vehicle + work done by gravitational force = Work done by frictional force = friction force x displacement .
Hence displacement is more .
Hence displacement is more in the downward slopping.

what type of waves can only travel through a medium?
Answer:
Mechanical waves
Explanation:
Mechanical waves are the waves that can travel only through a medium. Mechanical waves are disturbance of matter and require medium to transfer the energy. There are three types of mechanical waves that include transverse wave, longitudinal wave and surface wave.
Some of the examples of mechanical waves are sound waves and seismic waves etcetera.
Hence, the correct answer is "Mechanical waves".
If there is "waste" energy, does the Law of Conservation of Energy still apply?
Explanation:
Yes, the law of conservation of energy still applies even if there is waste energy.
The waste energy are the transformation products of energy from one form to another.
According to the law of conservation of energy "energy is neither created nor destroyed by transformed from one form to another in a system".
But of then times, energy is lost as heat or sound within a system.
If we take into account these waste energy, we can see that energy is indeed conserved. The sum total of the energy generated and those produced will be the same if we factor in other forms in which the energy has been transformed into.Two children, each with a mass of 25.4 kg, are at fixed locations on a merry-go-round (a disk that spins about an axis perpendicular to the disk and through its center). One child is 0.78 m from the center of the merry-go-round, and the other is near the outer edge, 3.14 m from the center. With the merry-go-round rotating at a constant angular speed, the child near the edge is moving with translational speed of 11.5 m/s.
a. What is the angular speed of each child?
b. Through what angular distance does each child move in 5.0 s?
c. Through what distance in meters does each child move in 5.0 s?
d. What is the centripetal force experienced by each child as he or she holds on?
e. Which child has a more difficult time holding on?
Answer:
a) ω₁ = ω₂ = 3.7 rad/sec
b) Δθ₁ = Δθ₂ = 18.5 rad
c) d₁ = 14.5 m d₂ = 57.5 m
d) Fc1 = 273.9 N Fc2 = 1069.8 N
e) The boy near the outer edge.
Explanation:
a)
Since the merry-go-round is a rigid body, any point on it rotates at the same angular speed.However, linear speeds of points at different distances from the center, are different.Applying the definition of angular velocity, and the definition of angle, we can write the following relationship between the angular and linear speeds:[tex]v = \omega*r (1)[/tex]
Since we know the value of v for the child near the outer edge, and the value of r for this point, we can find the value of the angular speed, as follows:[tex]\omega = \frac{v_{out} }{r_{out} } = \frac{11.5m/s}{3.14m} = 3.7 rad/sec (2)[/tex]
As we have already said, ωout = ωin = 3.7 rad/secb)
Since the angular speed is the same for both childs, the angle rotated in the same time, will be the same for both also.Applying the definition of angular speed, as the rate of change of the angle rotated with respect to time, we can find the angle rotated (in radians) as follows:[tex]\Delta \theta = \omega * t = 3.7 rad/sec* 5.0 sec = 18.5 rad (3)[/tex]⇒ Δθ₁ = Δθ₂ = 18.5 rad.
c)
The linear distance traveled by each child, will be related with the linear speed of them.Knowing the value of the angular speed, and the distance from each boy to the center, we can apply (1) in order to get the linear speeds, as follows:[tex]v_{inn} = \omega * r_{inn} = 3.7 rad/sec * 0.78 m = 2.9 m/s (4)[/tex]
vout is a given of the problem ⇒ vout = 11. 5 m/s
Applying the definition of linear velocity, we can find the distance traveled by each child, as follows:[tex]d_{inn} = v_{inn} * t = 2.9m/s* 5.0 s = 14.5 m (5)[/tex]
[tex]d_{out} = v_{out} * t = 11.5 m/s* 5.0 s = 57.5 m (6)[/tex]
d)
The centripetal force experienced by each child is the force that keeps them on a circular movement, and can be written as follows:[tex]F_{c} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (7)[/tex]
Replacing by the values of vin and rin, since m is a given, we can find Fcin (the force on the boy closer to the center) as follows:[tex]F_{cin} = m*\frac{v_{in}^{2}}{r_{in}} = 25.4 kg* \frac{(2.9m/s)^{2} }{0.78m} = 273.9 N (8)[/tex]
In the same way, we get Fcout (the force on the boy near the outer edge):[tex]F_{cout} = m*\frac{v_{out}^{2}}{r_{out}} = 25.4 kg* \frac{(11.5m/s)^{2} }{3.14m} = 1069.8 N (9)[/tex]
e)
The centripetal force that keeps the boys in a circular movement, is not a different type of force, and in this case, is given by the static friction force.The maximum friction force is given by the product of the coefficient of static friction times the normal force.Since the boys are not accelerated in the vertical direction, the normal force is equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, which is the weight.As both boys have the same mass, the normal force is also equal.This means that for both childs, the maximum possible static friction force, is the same, and given by the following expression:[tex]F_{frs} = \mu_{s} * m* g (10)[/tex]If this force is greater than the centripetal force, the boy will be able to hold on.So, as the centripetal force is greater for the boy close to the outer edge, he will have a more difficult time holding on.If a person weighs 140 lb'on Earth, their mass in kilograms is

a wooden block is cut into two pieces, one with three times the mass of the other. a depression is made in both faces of the cut so that a fire cracker can be placed in it and the block is reassembled. the reassembled block is set on rough surface and the fuse is lit. when the fire cracker explodes, the two blocks separate. what is the ratio of distances traveled by blocks?
Answer:
1/9
Explanation:
Let A denote the bigger piece and let B denote the smaller piece.
We are told that one with three times the mass of the other.
Therefore, we have;
M_a = 3M_b
Firecracker is placed in the block and it explodes and thus, momentum is conserved.
Thus;
V_ai = V_bi = 0
Where V_ai is initial velocity of piece A and V_bi is initial velocity of piece B.
Since initial momentum equals final momentum, we have;
P_i = P_f
Thus;
0 = (M_a × V_af) + (M_b × V_bf)
Since M_a = 3M_b, we have;
(3M_b × V_af) + (M_b × Vbf) = 0
Making V_af the subject, we have;
V_af = -⅓V_bf
The kinetic energy gained by each block during the explosion will later be lost due to the negative work done by friction. Thus;
W_f = -½M_b•(v_bf)²
Now, let's express the work is in terms of the force and the distance.
Thus;
W_f = F_f × Δx × cos 180°
Frictional force is also expressed as μmg
Thus;
W_f = -μM_b × g × Δx
Earlier, we saw that;
W_f = -½M_b•(v_bf)²
Thus;
-½M_b•(v_bf)²= -μM_b × g × Δx
Δx = (v_bf)²/2μg
Let the distance travelled by block A be Δx_a and that travelled by B be Δx_b
Thus;
Δx_a/Δx_b = ((v_ba)²/2μg)/((v_bf)²/2μg)
Δx_a/Δx_b = ((v_af)²/((v_bf)²)
Δx_a/Δx_b = (-⅓V_bf)²/(V_bf)²
Δx_a/Δx_b = 1/9
A neutral metal bob is hanging on the bottom of a pendulum that is 15 cm long. A charged balloon is held near the metal bob and the pendulum is pulled up to a vertical angle of 20-deg. If the mass of the metal bob is 0.025kg, what is the charge on the balloon.
Answer:
Explanation:
See the figure attached
F is electrostatic force .
T cos20 = mg
T sin20 = F
Tan20 = F / mg
F = mg tan 20 = .025 x 9.8 tan20
= .09 N
Distance between bob and balloon
= 15 sin20 = 5.1 cm = .051 m
If q be the charge on balloon
F = 9 x 10⁹ x q² / .051²
= 3460 x 10⁹ q² = .09
q² = 26 x 10⁻⁶ x 10⁻⁹
q = 16.12 x 10⁻⁸ C .
Two particles, an electron and a proton, are initially at rest in a uniform electric field of magnitude 554 N/C. If the particles are free to move, what are their speeds (in m/s) after 51.6 ns
Answer:
the speed of electron is 5.021 x 10⁶ m/s
the speed of proton is 2733.91 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
magnitude of electric field, E = 554 N/C
charge of the particles, Q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
time of motion, t = 51.6 ns = 51.6 x 10⁻⁹ s
The force experienced by each particle is calculated as;
F = EQ
F = (554)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)
F = 8.864 x 10⁻¹⁷ N
The speed of the particles are calculated as;
[tex]F = ma\\\\F = \frac{mv}{t} \\\\v = \frac{Ft}{m} \\\\v_e = \frac{Ft}{m_e}\\\\v_e = \frac{(8.864 \times 10^{-17})(51.6\times 10^{-9})}{9.11 \times \ 10^{-31}}\\\\v_e = 5.021 \times 10^{6} \ m/s[/tex]
[tex]v_p = \frac{Ft}{m_p}\\\\v_p = \frac{(8.864 \times 10^{-17})(51.6\times 10^{-9})}{1.673 \times \ 10^{-27}}\\\\v_p = 2733.91 \ m/s[/tex]
g Incandescent bulbs generate visible light by heating up a thin metal filament to a very high temperature so that the thermal radiation from the filament becomes visible. One bulb filament has a surface area of 30 mm2 and emits 60 W when operating. If the bulb filament has an emissivity of 0.8, what is the operating temperature of the filament
Answer:
2577 K
Explanation:
Power radiated , P = σεAT⁴ where σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.6704 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴, ε = emissivity of bulb filament = 0.8, A = surface area of bulb = 30 mm² = 30 × 10⁻⁶ m² and T = operating temperature of filament.
So, T = ⁴√(P/σεA)
Since P = 60 W, we substitute the vales of the variables into T. So,
T = ⁴√(P/σεA)
= ⁴√(60 W/(5.6704 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ × 0.8 × 30 × 10⁻⁶ m²)
= ⁴√(60 W/(136.0896 × 10⁻¹⁴ W/K⁴)
= ⁴√(60 W/(13608.96 × 10⁻¹⁶ W/K⁴)
= ⁴√(0.00441 × 10¹⁶K⁴)
= 0.2577 × 10⁴ K
= 2577 K

An 8.00 kg mass moving east at 15.4 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a 10.0 kg object that is initially at rest. After the collision, the 8.00 kg object moves south at 3.90 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the 10.0 kg object after the collision
Answer:
9.3m/s
Explanation:
Based on the law of conservation of momentum
Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision
m1u1 +m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2
m1 = 8kg
u1 = 15.4m/s
m2 = 10kg
u2 = 0m/s(at rest)
v1 = 3.9m/s
Required
v2.
Substitute
8(15.4)+10(0) = 8(3.9)+10v2
123.2=31.2+10v2
123.2-31.2 = 10v2
92 = 10v2
v2 = 92/10
v2 = 9.2m/s
Hence the velocity of the 10.0 kg object after the collision is 9.2m/s
Car À moves at a speed of 8m/s for 43 seconds. Car B moves at a speed of 7 m/s for 50 seconds. Which car traveled a longer distance
Please show working
Distance = (speed) x (time)
Car A: Distance = (8 m/s) x (43 s) = 344 meters
Car B: Distance = (7 m/s) x (50 s) = 350 meters
350 meters is a longer distance than 344 meters.
Car-B traveled a longer distance than Car-A did.
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf Car \ B : 350 \ meters }}[/tex]
Explanation:
Distance is equal to the product of speed and time.
[tex]d=s*t[/tex]
1. Car A
Car A has a speed of 8 meters per second and travels for 43 seconds.
[tex]s= 8 \ m/s \\t= 43 \ s[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]d= 8 \ m/s *43 \ s[/tex]
Multiply and note that the seconds will cancel out.
[tex]d= 8 \ m*43= 344 \ m[/tex]
2. Car B
Car B has a speed of 7 meters per second and travels for 50 seconds.
[tex]s= 7 \ m/s \\t= 50 \ s[/tex]
Substitute the values in and multiply.
[tex]d= 7 \ m/s * 50 \ s[/tex]
[tex]d= 7 \ m * 50 = 350 \ m[/tex]
350 meters is a longer distance than 344 meters, so Car B traveled the longer distance.
It has been argued that power plants should make use of off-peak hours (such as late at night) to generate mechanical energy and store it until it is needed during peak load times, such as the middle of the day. One suggestion has been to store the energy in large flywheels spinning on nearly frictionless ball-bearings. Consider a flywheel made of iron, with a density of 7800 kg/m^3 , in the shape of a uniform disk with a thickness of 11.3 cm.
Required:
a. What would the diameter of such a disk need to be if it is to store an amount of kinetic energy of 14.1 MJ when spinning at an angular velocity of 93.0 rpm about an axis perpendicular to the disk at its center?
b. What would be the centripetal acceleration of a point on its rim when spinning at this rate?
Answer:
Explanation:
kinetic energy = 14.1 MJ = 14.1 x 10⁶ J
Let radius of flywheel be r .
volume of flywheel = π r² x t where t is thickness
= 3.14 x r² x .113 m³
= .04 r² m³
mass = volume x density
= .04 r² x 7800 = 312.73 r²kg
moment of inertia I = 1 / 2 mass x radius²
= .5 x 312.73 r² x r²
= 156.37 r⁴ kg m²
angular velocity ω = 2π x 93/60
= 9.734 rad /s
kinetic energy = 1/2 Iω² where ω is angular velocity
= .5 x 156.37 r⁴ x 9.734²
= 7408.08 r⁴
Given
7408.08 r⁴ = 14.1 x 10⁶
r⁴ = .19 x 10⁴
r = .66 x 10
= 6.60 m .
Diameter = 13.2 m
b )
centripetal acceleration of a point on its rim = ω² r
= 9.734² x 6.6
= 625.35 m /s²

1. Rayleigh scattering takes place when the particle size is smaller than the wavelength (λ).
2. Mie scattering takes place when particle size is nearly equal to the wavelength (λ).
3. Non-selective scatter takes place when particle size in greater than the wavelength (λ).
We have the sizes of different particles :
