A uniform meter rule of mass 10g is balanced on a knife edge placed at 45cm mark. Calculate the distance of a mass 25g from the pivot

Answers

Answer:

2 cm.

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for diagram.

In the attached photo, y is the distance from the pivot to which the 25 g is placed.

The value of y can be obtained as follow:

Clockwise moment = 5 × 10

Anticlock wise moment = y × 25

Anticlock wise moment = Clockwise moment

y × 25 = 5 × 10

y × 25 = 50

Divide both side by 25

y = 50/25

y = 2 cm

Thus, the distance is 2 cm

A car travelling an unbanked curve of radius 200 ft notices a truckstopped on the road ahead. The driverimmediately applies brakes causing the speed of the carto decrease at the rate of 10 ft/s2. If at that instant, the stationary truckis 100 ft ahead (the distance is measured along the path) and the car is travelling at a speed of 40ft/s, whatis the magnitude of the relative velocity ofthe truck perceived by the driver of the car (i.e. from the moving frame of referenceof the car).

Answers

Answer:

 u = - 40 ft / s

Explanation:

The Galilean relation for the relative velocity is

         v ’= v + u

where u is the speed between the two reference frames, v is the speed of the fixed system and v 'the speed of the mobile system.

In this case the truck has a speed with respect to the ground (fixed system) 0 m / s (it is stopped), the car has a speed with respect to the ground of v = 40 ft / s,

        u = v'- v

         

        u = 0 - 40

        u = - 40 ft / s

the speed perceived by the car if the system is fixed on it is -40 ft / s

We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period  (time for a complete swing) is defined as:

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

where:

pi = 3.14

L = length of the pendulum

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.

Then the period is independent of:

Answers

Answer:

To explore the other planets, the satellite must have the velocity more than the escape velocity.

Explanation:

The minimum velocity required by any object to escape from the earth gravitational pull is called the escape velocity.

The escape velocity for any planet depends on the mass of planet and radius of planet. It does not depends on the mass of object. The escape velocity is same for any mass for a particular planet.

So, to explore the other planets, the satellite must have the velocity more than the escape velocity.

What happen to the frequency of transverse vibration of a stretched string if its tension is halved and the area of cross section of the string is doubled?

Answers

Answer:

The fundamental frequency of the stretched string is:

[tex]f=[/tex] [tex]\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{L} }[/tex] [ T = Tension and μ = mass per unit length]

Here,

 μ = [tex]\frac{m}{L} = \frac{Vp}{L} = Ap[/tex]

[tex]f= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{Ap} }[/tex]

If T is halved and A is doubled,

[tex]f= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T'}{A'p} } = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2* 2* A* p} } = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{Ap} } = \frac{1}{2} f[/tex]

Thus, the frequency is reduced to half if its tension is halved and the area of cross-section of the string is doubled.

When the tension is halved and the area of cross section is doubled, the frequency increases by a factor of 1.414.

The frequency of transverse vibration of a stretched string is calculated as follows;

[tex]f = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }[/tex]

where;

T is the tension on the stringμ is the mass per unit length

[tex]f = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }\\\\f = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m} } \\\\f = \frac{l^2}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} } \\\\f = \frac{A}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}[/tex]

when the tension is halved and the area of cross section is doubled, the frequency is calculated as;

[tex]\frac{f_1}{A_1 \sqrt{T_1} } = \frac{f_2}{A_2\sqrt{T_2} } \\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1 A_2\sqrt{T_2}}{A_1 \sqrt{T_1} }\\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1 \times 2A_1\sqrt{0.5T_1} }{\sqrt{T_1} }\\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1 \times 2A_1 \times 0.7071\sqrt{T_1} }{\sqrt{T_1} }\\\\f_2 = 1.414 f_1[/tex]

Thus, when the tension is halved and the area of cross section is doubled, the frequency increases by a factor of 1.414.

Your parallel capacitors are 15 μf and 20 μf. The series capacitors are 10 μf and 12 μf. This circuit is connected to a 14 v battery, also determine the potential energy and the voltage across each capacitor

Answers

Answer:

a. i. 6.608 V ii. 5.507 V iii. 1.89 V iv. 1.89 V

b. i. 0.22 mJ ii. 0.182 mJ iii. 0.027 mJ iv. 0.036 mJ

Explanation:

a. The voltage across each capacitor

Since the 15 μf and 20 μf capacitors are in parallel, their total capacitance is C = 15 μf + 20 μf = 35 μf.

Also, since C is in series with the 10 μf and 12 μf which are in series, their total capacitance, C' is gotten from 1/C' = 1/10 μf + 1/12 μf + 1/35 μf  

1/C' = (12 + 42 + 35)/420 /μf

1/C' = 89/420 /μf

C' = 420/89 μf

C' = 4.72 μf

The total charge in the circuit' is thus Q = C'V where V = voltage = 14 V

So, Q = C'V =  4.72 μf × 14 V = 66.08 μC

Since the 10 μf and 12 μf are in series, Q is the charge flowing through them.

Since Q = CV and V = Q/C

i. The voltage across the 10 capacitor is

V = 66.08 μC/10 μF = 6.608 V

ii. The voltage across the 12 capacitor is

V = 66.08 μC/12 μF = 5.507 V

The voltage across the 15 μF and 20 μF capacitors.

Since the capacitors are in parallel, the voltage across them is the voltage across their combined capacitance, C

So, V = Q/C = 66.08 μC/35 μF = 1.89 V

iii. The voltage across the 15 μF capacitor is 1.89 V

iv. The voltage across the 20 μF capacitor is 1.89 V

b. The potential energy of each capacitor

i. The potential energy of the 10 μF capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 10 μF = 10 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 6.608 V

E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 × 10 × 10⁻⁶ F(6.608 V)²

E = 5 × 10⁻⁶ F(43.666) V²

E = 218.33 × 10⁻⁶ J

E = 0.21833 × 10⁻³ J

E = 0.21833 mJ

E ≅ 0.22 mJ

ii. The potential energy of the 12 μF capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 12 μF = 12 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 5.507 V

E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 × 12 × 10⁻⁶ F(5.507 V)²

E = 6 × 10⁻⁶ F(30.327) V²

E = 181.96 × 10⁻⁶ J

E = 0.18196 × 10⁻³ J

E = 0.18196 mJ

E ≅ 0.182 mJ

iii. The potential energy of the 15 μF capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 15 μF = 15 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 1.89 V

E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 × 15 × 10⁻⁶ F(1.89 V)²

E = 7.5 × 10⁻⁶ F(3.5721) V²

E = 26.79 × 10⁻⁶ J

E = 0.02679 × 10⁻³ J

E = 0.02679 mJ

E ≅ 0.027 mJ

iv. The potential energy of the 15 μF capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 20 μF = 15 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 1.89 V

E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 × 20 × 10⁻⁶ F(1.89 V)²

E = 10 × 10⁻⁶ F(3.5721) V²

E = 35.721 × 10⁻⁶ J

Answers

Answer:

1. 100 J

2. 225 J

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 5 ms¯¹

Kinetic energy (KE) = 25 J

Mass (m) =?

KE = ½mv²

25 = ½ × m × 5²

25 = ½ × m × 25

25 = 25m / 2

Cross multiply

25m = 25 × 2

25m = 50

Divide both side by 25

m = 50 / 25

m = 2 Kg

1. Determination of the kinetic energy when the velocity is doubled.

Mass (m) = 2 Kg

Velocity (v) = double the initial velocity

= 2 × 5 ms¯¹

= 10 ms¯¹

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 2 × 10²

KE = ½ × 2 × 100

KE = 100 J

2. Determination of the kinetic energy when the velocity increased three times.

Mass (m) = 2 Kg

Velocity (v) = three times the initial velocity

= 3 × 5 ms¯¹

= 15 ms¯¹

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 2 × 15²

KE = ½ × 2 × 225

KE = 225 J
