The atoms in your body are mostly empty space . And so are the atoms in any wall. Why then is your body unable to pass through walls ?
First of all, both are not a single sheet of atom. There are many layers of atoms, so the empty part gets beside each other, so there are less empty part. Secondly, there are so many atoms that the probability that they will have empty space at the same place necessary, is negligible.
This was something from logic.
The reason I was taught in my class was that only a limited number of electrons can be in a given orbit, so atoms cannot overlap each other.

You may have been surprised to learn that Olympic gold medals are not made from solid gold, but instead have a coating of • Saved gold on the outside.
To see a possible reason why, determine the value of the medal the size (not mass) of the Olympic gold medal if it were made of solid gold. Hint: As of mid-2018, the cost of gold is about $40 per gram.
Answer:
A gold medal has the (minimum) dimensions of:
diameter = 60mm
thickness = 3mm
So we will work with those dimensions.
The medal is then a cyinder of diameter
D = 60mm = 6cm
and height:
H = 3mm = 0.3cm
Remember that the volume of a cylinder is:
V = pi*(D/2)^2*H
where pi = 3.14
Then the volume of a medal is:
V = 3.14*(6cm/3)^2*0.3cm = 3.768 cm^3
The density of the gold in g/cm^3 is:
d = 19.3 g/cm^3
And remember that:
density = mass/volume
So, if the volume is 3.768 cm^3
Then the mass will be:
mass = density*volume = 19.3 g/cm^3*3.768 cm^3 = 72.7 g
So, a single gold medal would weight 72.7 grams
And each gram of gold costs $40
Then the total cost of the gold medal would be:
value = $40*72.7 = $2,908
Now, if yo think that in the Olympics there are 35 sports (a lot with a large number of players) and near 50 disciplines, they need a lot of gold medals.
And each gold medal costs $2,908
So the total cost (only for the gold medals, ignoring the others) would be to high.
This is why the gold medals are made mostly of silver.

A person jumps out of an airplane above the surface of the Earth, and falls a distance h before opening their parachute. Once the prachute is open the person coasts to the ground a distance d at constant velocity.
a. The work done on the person by the Earth is:
b. The change in gravitational potential energy of the person + Earch system is:
Answer:
a) W_total = mg (2h + d) , b) E_total = - mg (h + d)
Explanation:
a) We must solve this problem in two parts, the first for the accelerated movement and the second for the movement with constant speed
Let's look for work for the part that is in free fall
y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²
when he jumps out of a plane his vertical speed is zero
y =y₀ - ½ g t²
dy = 0 - ½ g 2t dt
the work in this first part is
W₁ = ∫ F dy
W₁ = mg ∫ g t dt
W₁ = m g² t² / 2
the time it takes to travel the distance y₀-y = h is
y₀-y = ½ g t²
t =[tex]\sqrt{2h/g}[/tex]
we substitute
W₁ = m g² 2h / g
W₁ = m g 2h
now we look for the work for the part with constant speed
since the velocity is constant let's use the uniform motion ratio
W₂ = F d
W₂ = mg d
the total work is
W_total = W₁ + W₂
W_total = 2mgh + m gd
W_total = mg (2h + d)
b) The change in gravitational potential energy
U = mg Δy
in the part with accelerated movement
U₁ = mg h
in the part with uniform movement
U₂ = mg d
the total potential energy is
E_total = U₁ + U₂
E_total = - mg (h + d)
11. An object moves in circular path with constant speed
a. Is the object's velocity constant? Explain.
b. Is its acceleration constant? Explain.
Answer:
B. Is its acceleration constant
Explanation:
Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction.

Two identical cylinders with a movable piston contain 0.7 mol of helium gas at a temperature of 300 K. The temperature of the gas in the first cylinder is increased to 412 K at constant volume by doing work W1 and transferring energy Q1 by heat. The temperature of the gas in the second cylinder is increased to 412 K at constant pressure by doing work W2 while transferring energy Q2 by heat.
Required:
Find ÎEint, 1, Q1, and W1 for the process at constant volume.
Answer:
ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 977.7 J , Q₁ = 977.7 J and W₁ = 0 J
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
T[tex]_i[/tex] = 300 K, T[tex]_f[/tex] = 412 K, n = 0.7 mol
since helium is monoatomic;
Cv = (3/2)R, Cp = (5/2)R
W₁ = 0 J [ at constant volume or ΔV = 0]
Now for the first cylinder; from the first law of thermodynamics;
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ + W₁
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = n × Cv × ΔT
we substitute
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 0.7 × ( 3/2 )8.314 × ( 412 - 300 )
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 0.7 × 12.471 × 112
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 977.7 J
Therefore, ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 977.7 J , Q₁ = 977.7 J and W₁ = 0 J

A ball on a frictionless plane is swung around in a circle at constant speed. The acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity vector.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
You have a circle so think back to circular motion. Theres 2 directions, centripetal and tangential. The problem tells you there's a constant tangential speed so tangential acceleration is 0. However there is a centripetal acceleration acting on the ball that holds it in its circular motion (i.e. tension, or gravity). Since centripetal is perpendicular to the tangential direction, acceleration and velocity are in different directions.
In order to keep a leaking ship from sinking, it is necessary to pump 12.0 lb of water each second from below deck up a height of 2.00 m and over the side. What is the minimum horse-
power motor that can be used to save the ship?
Answer:
P = 0.14 hp
Explanation:
The power required by the ship is given as:
[tex]P = \frac{Work}{Time} = \frac{Potential\ Eenrgy}{t}\\\\P = \frac{mgh}{t}[/tex]
where,
P = Power = ?
m = mass to pump = (12 lb)(1 kg/2.20 lb) = 5.44 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = height = 2 m
t = time = 1 s
Therefore,
[tex]P = \frac{(5.44\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)(2\ m)}{1\ s}\\\\P = 106.8\ W[/tex]
Converting to horsepower (hp):
[tex]P = (106.8\ W)(\frac{1\ hp}{746\ W})[/tex]
P = 0.14 hp
Which one of the following is not an example of convection? An eagle soars on an updraft of wind. A person gets a suntan on a beach. An electric heater warms a room. Smoke rises above a fire. Spaghetti is cooked in water.
Answer: The statement that is not an example of convection is (A person gets a suntan on a beach).
Explanation:
There are different modes of heat energy transfer which includes:
--> conduction
--> Radiation and
--> Convection
CONVECTION is a process by which heat energy is transferred in a fluid or air by the actual movement of the heated molecules. The cooler portion of the air surrounding a warmer part exerts a buoyant force on it. As the warmer part of the air moves, it is replaced by cooler air that is subsequently warmed.
Convection in gases is very common and gas expands more than liquid when subjected to high temperature.
--> it is used in bringing about the circulation of fresh air in the room in a process known as ventilation.Here, cool air is constantly being replaced with denser air ( warm air).
-->An electric heater warms a room and Smoke rises above a fire are typical example of convection in gases.
-->Spaghetti is cooked in water: As the water close to the burner warms, it rises to the top and boils. At the same time, cooler water on top moves downward to replace the rising hot water.
--> also the eagle uses convection current to stay afloat in the sky without flapping its wings to conserve energy.
But the option (A person gets a suntan on a beach) is an example of heat transfer through radiation. This is because the sun emits it's rays from the sky down to earth without any material medium unlike others. Therefore, this option is the ODD one out.
Find the force on a negative charge that is placed midway between two equal positive charges. All charges have the same magnitude.
Answer: The force on a negative charge that is placed midway between two equal positive charges is zero when all charges have the same magnitude.
Explanation:
Let us assume that
[tex]q_{1} = q_{2} = +q[/tex]
[tex]q_{3} = -q[/tex]
As [tex]q_{3}[/tex] is the negative charge and placed midway between two equal positive charges ([tex]q_{1}[/tex] and [tex]q_{2}[/tex]).
Total distance between [tex]q_{1}[/tex] and [tex]q_{2}[/tex] is 2r. This means that the distance between [tex]q_{1}[/tex] and [tex]q_{3}[/tex], [tex]q_{2}[/tex] and [tex]q_{3}[/tex] = d = r
Now, force action on charge [tex]q_{3}[/tex] due to [tex]q_{1}[/tex] is as follows.
[tex]F_{31} = k(\frac{q_{1} \times q_{3}}{d^{2}})[/tex]
where,
k = electrostatic constant = [tex]9 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}[/tex]
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]F_{31} = k(\frac{q_{1} \times q_{3}}{d^{2}})\\= 9 \times 10^{9} (\frac{q \times (-q)}{r^{2}})\\= - 9 \times 10^{9} (\frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}})[/tex] ... (1)
Similarly, force acting on [tex]q_{3}[/tex] due to [tex]q_{1}[/tex] is as follows.
[tex]F_{32} = k \frac{q_{2}q_{3}}{d^{2}}\\= -9 \times 10^{9} \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}}\\[/tex] ... (2)
As both the forces represented in equation (1) and (2) are same and equal in magnitude. This means that the net force acting on charge [tex]q_{3}[/tex] is zero.
Thus, we can conclude that the force on a negative charge that is placed midway between two equal positive charges is zero when all charges have the same magnitude.
A coin and feather are dropped in a moon. what will fall earlier on ground.give reasons.if they are dropped in the earth,which one will fall faster?
Answer:
When an object is dropped, the "principal" force that acts on that object is the gravitational force.
Thus, in the absence of air resistance and such, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration:
g = 9.8m/s^2
So, when we drop objects in the moon (where there is no air) the acceleration of every object will be exactly the same. (so there is no dependence in the mass or shape of the object)
Thus, if we drop a coin and a feather in the moon, both objects will fall with the same acceleration, and then both objects will hit the ground at the same time.
But if we are in Earth, we can not ignore the air resistance (a force that acts in the opposite direction than the movement of the object)
And this force depends on the shape and mass of the object (for example, something with a really larger surface and really thin, like a sheet of paper will be more affected by this force than a small rock)
Then here, when the air resistance applies, we should expect that the heavier and smaller object (the coin) to be less affected by this force, then the resistance that the coin experiences is smaller, then the coin falls "faster" than the feather.
At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants are to experience simulated gravity of 0.58 g
Answer:
w = 1,066 rad / s
Explanation:
For this exercise we use Newton's second law
F = m a
the centripetal acceleration is
a = w² r
indicate that the force is the mass of the body times the acceleration
F = m 0.58g = m 0.58 9.8
F = 5.684 m
we substitute
5.684 m = m w² r
w = [tex]\sqrt{5.684/r}[/tex]
To finish the calculation we must suppose a cylinder radius, suppose it has r = 5 m
w = [tex]\sqrt{ 5.684/5}[/tex]
w = 1,066 rad / s

An electron is pushed into an electric field where it acquires a 1-V electrical potential. Suppose instead that two electrons are pushed the same distance into the same electric field (but far enough apart that they don't effect eachother). What is the electrical potential of one of the electrons now?
Answer:
0.5 V
Explanation:
The electric potential distance between different locations in an electric field area is unaffected by the charge that is transferred between them. It is solely dependent on the distance. Thus, for two electrons pushed together at the same distance into the same field, the electric potential will remain at 1 V. However, the electric potential of one of the two electrons will be half the value of the electric potential for the two electrons.

A spacecraft on its way to Mars has small rocket engines mounted on its hull; one on its left surface and one on its back surface. At a certain time, both engines turn on. The one on the left gives the spacecraft an acceleration component in the x direction of
ax = 5.10 m/s2,
while the one on the back gives an acceleration component in the y direction of
ay = 7.30 m/s2.
The engines turn off after firing for 670 s, at which point the spacecraft has velocity components of
vx = 3670 m/s and vy = 4378 m/s.
What was the magnitude and the direction of the spacecraft's initial velocity before the engines were turned on? Express the magnitude as m/s and the direction as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x axis.
magnitude m/s
direction ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
Answer:
a) v = 517.99 m / s, b) θ = 296.3º
Explanation:
This is an exercise in kinematics, we are going to solve each axis independently
X axis
the acceleration is aₓ = 5.10 1 / S², they are on for t = 670 s and reaches a speed of vₓ= 3670 m / s, let's use the relation
vₓ = v₀ₓ + aₓ t
v₀ₓ = vₓ - aₓ t
v₀ₓ = 3670 - 5.10 670
v₀ₓ = 253 m / s
Y axis
the acceleration is ay = 7.30 m / s², with a velocity of 4378 m / s after
t = 670 s
v_y = v_{oy} + a_y t
v_{oy} = v_y - a_y t
v_oy} = 4378 - 7.30 670
v_{oy} = -513 m / s
to find the velocity modulus we use the Pythagorean theorem
v = [tex]\sqrt{v_o_x^2 + v_o_y^2}[/tex]
v = [tex]\sqrt{253^2 +513^2}[/tex]
v = 517.99 m / s
to find the direction we use trigonometry
tan θ ’= [tex]\frac{v_o_y}{v_o_x}[/tex]
θ'= tan⁻¹ [tex]\frac{voy}{voy}[/tex]
θ'= tan⁻¹ (-513/253)
tea '= -63.7
the negative sign indicates that it is below the ax axis, in the fourth quadrant
to give this angle from the positive side of the axis ax
θ = 360 - θ
θ = 360 - 63.7
θ = 296.3º
A 2090-kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force so that its vertical velocity as a function of time is given by v(t) =At+Bt^2 , where A and B are constants and time is measured from the instant the fuel is ignited. The rocket has an upward acceleration of 1.50m/s 2 at the instant of ignition and, 1.00 s later, an upward velocity of 2.00 m/s. (a) Determine A and B , including their SI units. (b) At 4.00 s after fuel ignition, what is the acceleration of the rocket, and (c) what thrust force does the burning fuel exert on it, assuming no air resistance? Express the thrust in newtons and as a multiple of the rocket’s weight. (d) What was the initial thrust due to the fuel?
Answer:
a) A = 1.50 m / s², B = 1.33 m/s³, b) a = 12.1667 m / s²,
c) I = M (1.5 t + 1.333 t²) , d) ΔI = M 2.833 N
Explanation:
In this exercise give the expression for the speed of the rocket
v (t) = A t + B t²
and the initial conditions
a = 1.50 m / s² for t = 0 s
v = 2.00 m / s for t = 1.00 s
a) it is asked to determine the constants.
Let's look for acceleration with its definition
a = [tex]\frac{dv}{dt}[/tex]
a = A + 2B t
we apply the first condition t = 0 s
a = A
A = 1.50 m / s²
we apply the second condition t = 1.00 s
v = 1.5 1 + B 1²
2 = 1.5 + B
B = 2 / 1.5
B = 1.33 m/s³
the equation remains
v = 1.50 t + 1.333 t²
b) the acceleration for t = 4.00 s
a = 1.50 + 1.333 2t
a = 1.50 + 2.666 4
a = 12.1667 m / s²
c) The thrust
I = ∫ F dt = p_f - p₀
Newton's second law
F = M a
F = M (1.5 + 2 1.333 t) dt
we replace and integrate
I = M ∫ (1.5 + 2.666 t) dt
I = 1.5 t + 2.666 t²/2
I = M (1.5 t + 1.333 t²) + cte
in general the initial rockets with velocity v = 0 for t = 0, where we can calculate the constant
cte = 0
I = M (1.5 t + 1.333 t²)
d) the initial push
For this we must assume some small time interval, for example between
t = 0 s and t = 1 s
ΔI = I_f - I₀
ΔI = M (1.5 1 + 1.333 1²)
ΔI = M 2.833 N
the spring was compressed three times farther and then the block is released, the work done on the block by the spring as it accelerates the block is
Answer:
The work done on the block by the spring as it accelerates the block is 4kx².
Explanation:
Let initial distance is x.
It was compressed three times farther and then the block is released, new distance is 3x.
The work done in compressing the spring is given by :
[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}k(x_2^2-x_1^2)[/tex]
[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}k(x_2^2-x_1^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}k((3x)^2-x^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}k((9x^2-x^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}k\times 8x^2\\\\W=4kx^2[/tex]
So, the work done on the block by the spring as it accelerates the block is 4kx².
A satellite of mass m, originally on the surface of the Earth, is placed into Earth orbit at an altitude h. (a) Assuming a circular orbit, how long does the satellite take to complete one orbit
Answer:
T = 5.45 10⁻¹⁰ [tex]\sqrt{(R_e + h)^3}[/tex]
Explanation:
Let's use Newton's second law
F = ma
force is the universal force of attraction and acceleration is centripetal
G m M / r² = m v² / r
G M / r = v²
as the orbit is circular, the speed of the satellite is constant, so we can use the kinematic relations of uniform motion
v = d / T
the length of a circle is
d = 2π r
we substitute
G M / r = 4π² r² / T²
T² = [tex]\frac{4\pi ^2 }{GM} \ r^3[/tex]
the distance r is measured from the center of the Earth (Re), therefore
r = Re + h
where h is the height from the planet's surface
let's calculate
T² = [tex]\frac{4\pi ^2}{ 6.67 \ 10^{-11} \ 1.991 \ 10^{30}}[/tex] (Re + h) ³
T = [tex]\sqrt{29.72779 \ 10^{-20}} \ \sqrt[2]{R_e+h)^3}[/tex]
T = 5.45 10⁻¹⁰ [tex]\sqrt{(R_e + h)^3}[/tex]
Una cuerda horizontal tiene una longitud de 5 m y masa de 0,00145 kg. Si sobre esta cuerda se da un pulso generando una longitud de onda de 0,6 m y una frecuencia de 120 Hz. La tensión a la cual está sometida la cuerda es:
a. 1,5 N
b. 15,0 N
c. 3,1 N
d. 5,2 N
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
A horizontal rope has a length of 5 m and a mass of 0.00145 kg. If a pulse occurs on this string, generating a wavelength of 0.6 m and a frequency of 120 Hz. The tension to which the string is subjected is
mass of string, m = 0.00145 kg
Frequency, f = 120 Hz
wavelength = 0.6 m
Speed = frequency x wavelength
speed = 120 x 0.6 = 72 m/s
Let the tension is T.
Use the formula
[tex]v =\sqrt\frac{T L}{m}\\\\72 = \sqrt\frac{T\times 5}{0.00145}\\\\T = 1.5 N[/tex]
Option (A) is correct.
A 10-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it, the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.What is the spring constant k?How long is the spring when a 4.0 kg mass is suspended from it?
As the spring is stretched, it exerts an upward restoring force f. At maximum extension, Newton's second law gives
∑ F = f - mg = 0 ==> f = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 19.6 N
By Hooke's law, if k is the spring constant, then
f = kx ==> k = f/x = (19.6 N) / (0.15 m) ≈ 130 N/m
A 4.0 kg mass would cause the spring to exert a force of
f = (4.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N
which would result in the spring stretching a distance x such that
39.2 N = (130 N/m) x ==> x = (39.2 N) / (130 N/m) ≈ 0.30 m ≈ 30 cm

b) Two skaters collide and grab on to each other on a frictionless ice. One of them, of mass 80 kg, is moving to the right at 5.0 m/s, while the other of mass 70 kg is moving to the left at 2.0 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the two skaters just after they collide
Answer:
The two skaters move with a speed of 1.73 m/s after the collision in the right direction.
Explanation:
Given that,
The mas of skater 1, m₁ = 80 kg
The speed of skater 1, u₁ = 5 m/s (right)
The mass of skater 2, m₂ = 70 kg
The speed of skater 2, u₂ = -2 m/s (left)
Let v is the magnitude of the two skaters just after they collide. They must have a common speed. So, using the conservation of momentum as follows :
[tex]m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]v=\dfrac{80(5)+70(-2)}{(80+70)}\\\\=1.73m /s[/tex]
So, the two skaters move with a speed of 1.73 m/s after the collision in the right direction.
