Answer:
Weight, acceleration when it falls vertically, are not same as that of earth.
Explanation:
Weight of the object is given by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity of the planet.
So, the weight of object is not same as that on earth.
The mass is defined as the amount of matter contained in the object.
So, the mass of the object is same as that of earth.
The volume of the object is defined as the space occupied by the object.
So, the volume of the object is same as that of earth.
The density is defined as the ratio of mass of the object to its volume.
So, the density of the object is same as that of earth.
The acceleration due to gravity on a planet depends on the mass of planet and radius of planet.
So, the acceleration is not same as that of earth.
The color of the object is its characteristic.
It is same as that of earth.
In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 560 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 17.2 ns . When a slab of glass with a thickness of 0.810 m is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 20.8 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell.
Required:
What is the wavelength of the light in the glass?
Answer:
Distance traveled = 3 * 10E8 * 17.2 * 10E-9 = 5.16 m
.81 / 3 * 10E8 = 2.7 * 10E-9 normal time thru glass
(20.8 - 17.2) * E10-9 = 3.6 * 10E-9 additional time due to glass
c tg = c n ta where tg and ta are the times spent in glass and air
(Note you can also write Va = n Vg or D / ta = n D / tg)
n = tg / ta = 3.6 / 2.7 = 1.33 the index of refraction of the glass
Wavelength (air) = Wavelength (glass) * n
Wavelenght = 560 nm / 1.33 = 421 nm
In a large chemical factory, a feed pipe carries a liquid at a speed of 5.5 m/s. A pump pushes the liquid along at a gauge pressure of 140,000 Pa. The liquid travels upward 6.0 m and enters a tank at a gauge pressure of 2,000 Pa. The diameter of the pipe remains constant. At what speed does the liquid enter the tank
Answer:
v₂ = 15.24 m / s
Explanation:
This is an exercise in fluid mechanics
Let's write Bernoulli's equation, where the subscript 1 is for the factory pipe and the subscript 2 is for the tank.
P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂
They indicate the pressure in the factory P₁ = 140000 Pa, the velocity
v₁ = 5.5 m / s and the initial height is zero y₁ = 0
the tank is at a pressure of P2 = 2000 Pa and a height of y₂ = 6.0 m
P₁ -P₂ + ρ g (y₁ -y₂) + ½ ρ v₁² = ½ ρ v₂²
let's calculate
140,000 - 2000 + ρ 9.8 (0- 6) + ½ ρ 5.5² = ½ ρ v₂²
138000 - ρ 58.8 + ρ 15.125 = ½ ρ v2²
v₂² = 2 (138000 /ρ - 58.8 + 15.125)
v₂ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{276000}{\rho } - 43.675 }[/tex]
In the exercise they do not indicate what type of liquid is being used, suppose it is water with
ρ = 1000 kg / m³
v₂ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{276000}{1000} - 43.675}[/tex]
v₂ = 15.24 m / s

Object A has a mass m and a speed v, object B has a mass m/2 and a speed 4v, and object C has a mass 3m and a speed v/3. Rank the objects according to the magnitude of their momentum.
Required:
Rank from smallest to largest.
Answer:
Momentum of object A = Momentum of object C < momentum of B.
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and velocity.
Object A has a mass m and a speed v. Its momentum is :
p = mv
Object B has a mass m/2 and a speed 4v. Its momentum is :
p = (m/2)×4v = 2mv
Object C has a mass 3m and a speed v/3. Its momentum is :
p = (3m)×(v/3) = mv
So,
Momentum of object A = Momentum of object C < momentum of B.

The same constant force is used to accelerate two carts of the same mass, initially at rest, on horizontal frictionless tracks. The force is applied to cart A for twice as long a time as it is applied to cart B. The work the force does on A is WA; that on B is WB. Which statement is correct?
a. WA = WB
b. WA = 2WB.
c. WA=4WB
d. WB= 2WA
Answer:
Option (c).
Explanation:
Let the mass of each cart is m and the force is F.
Time for cart A is 2t and for cart B is t.
Work done is given by the
W= force x displacement
As the distance is given by
S= u t +0.5 at^2
So, when the time is doubled the distance is four times.
So, WA = F x 4 S
WB = F x S
WA= 4 WB
The mass of a hot-air balloon and its occupants is 381 kg (excluding the hot air inside the balloon). The air outside the balloon has a pressure of 1.01 x 105 Pa and a density of 1.29 kg/m3. To lift off, the air inside the balloon is heated. The volume of the heated balloon is 480 m3. The pressure of the heated air remains the same as that of the outside air. To what temperature in kelvins must the air be heated so that the balloon just lifts off
Answer:
In order to lift off the ground, the air in the balloon must be heated to 710.26 K
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
P = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa
V = 480 m³
ρ = 1.29 kg/m³
M = 381 kg
we know that; R = 8.31 J/mol.K and the molecular mass of air μ = 29 × 10⁻³ kg/mol
let F represent the force acting upward.
Now in a condition where the hot air balloon is just about to take off;
F - Mg - m[tex]_g[/tex]g = 0
where M is the mass of the balloon and its occupants, m[tex]_g[/tex] is the mass of the hot gas inside the balloon.
the force acting upward F = Vρg
so
Vρg - Mg - m[tex]_g[/tex]g = 0
solve for m[tex]_g[/tex]
m[tex]_g[/tex] = ( Vρg - Mg ) / g
m[tex]_g[/tex] = Vρg/g - Mg/g
m[tex]_g[/tex] = ρV - M ------- let this be equation 1
Now, from the ideal gas law, PV = nRT
we know that number of moles n = m[tex]_g[/tex] / μ
where μ is the molecular mass of air
so
PV = (m[tex]_g[/tex]/μ)RT
solve for T
μPV = m[tex]_g[/tex]RT
T = μPV / m[tex]_g[/tex]R -------- let this be equation 2
from equation 1 and 2
T = μPV / (ρV - M)R
so we substitute in our values;
P = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa
V = 480 m³
ρ = 1.29 kg/m³
M = 381 kg
we know that; R = 8.31 J/mol.K and the molecular mass of air μ = 29 × 10⁻³ kg/mol
T = [ (29 × 10⁻³) × (1.01 × 10⁵) × 480 ] / [ (( 1.29 × 480 ) - 381)8.31 ]
T = 1405920 / 1979.442
T = 710.26 K
Therefore, In order to lift off the ground, the air in the balloon must be heated to 710.26 K
The temperature required for the air to be heated is 710.26 K.
Given data:
The mass of a hot air-balloon is, m = 381 kg.
The pressure of air outside the balloon is, [tex]P = 1.01 \times 10^{5} \;\rm Pa[/tex].
The density of air is, [tex]\rho = 1.29 \;\rm kg/m^{3}[/tex].
The volume of heated balloon is, [tex]V = 480 \;\rm m^{3}[/tex].
The condition where the hot air balloon is just about to take off is as follows:
[tex]F-mg - m'g =0[/tex]
Here,
m' is the mass of hot gas inside the balloon and g is the gravitational acceleration and F is the force acting on the balloon in upward direction. And its value is,
[tex]F = V \times \rho \times g[/tex]
Solving as,
[tex](V \times \rho \times g)-mg - m'g =0\\\\ m'=(V \rho )-m[/tex]
Now, apply the ideal gas law as,
PV = nRT
here, R is the universal gas constant and n is the number of moles and its value is,
[tex]n=\dfrac{m'}{M}[/tex]
M is the molecular mass of gas. Solving as,
[tex]PV = \dfrac{m'}{M} \times R \times T\\\\\\T=\dfrac{P \times V\times M}{m'R}\\\\\\T=\dfrac{P \times V\times M}{(V \rho - m)R}[/tex]
Since, the standard value for the molecular mass of air is, [tex]M = 29 \times 10^{-3} \;\rm kg/mol[/tex]. Then solve for the temperature as,
[tex]T=\dfrac{(1.01 \times 10^{5}) \times 480\times 381}{(480 \times (1.29) - 381)8.31}\\\\\\T = 710.26 \;\rm K[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the temperature required for the air to be heated is 710.26 K.

Put the balloon near (BUT NOT TOUCHING) the wall. Leave about as much space as the width of your pinky finger between the balloon and wall. Does the balloon move, if so which way
Answer:
Move towards the wall.
Explanation:
When the balloon is kept near to the wall not touching the wall, there is a force of electrostatic attraction so that the balloon moves towards the wall and stick to it.
As there is some charge on the balloon and the wall is uncharged so the force is there due to which the balloon moves towards the wall.
The mass is released from the top of the incline and slides down the incline. The maximum velocity (taken the instant before the mass reaches the bottom of the incline) is 1.06 m/s. What is the kinetic energy at that time
Answer:
0.28 J
Explanation:
Let the mass of the object is 0.5 kg
The maximum velocity of the object is 1.06 m/s.
We need to find the kinetic energy at that time. It is given by :
[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.5\times (1.06)^2\\\\K=0.28\ J[/tex]
So, the required kinetic energy is equal to 0.28 J.

A T-shirt cannon launches a shirt at 5.30 m/s from a platform height of 4.00 m from ground level. How fast (in m/s) will the shirt be traveling if it is caught by someone whose hands are at 5.20 m from ground level (b) 4.00 m from ground level?
Answer:
(a) the velocity of the shirt is 2.14 m/s
(b) the velocity of the shirt is 5.3 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the shirt, u = 5.3 m/s
height of the platform above the ground, h = 4.00 m
(a) When the shirt is caught by someone whose hand is 5.20 m from the ground level, the height traveled by the shirt = 5.2 m - 4.0 m = 1.2 m
The velocity at this position is calculated as;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2(-g)h\\\\v^2 = u^2 - 2gh\\\\v^2 = 5.3^2 - (2\times 9.8 \times 1.2)\\\\v^2 = 4.57\\\\v= \sqrt{4.57} \\\\v = 2.14 \ m/s[/tex]
(b) When the shirt is caught by someone whose hand is 4.00 m from the ground level, the height traveled by the shirt = 4.00 m - 4.00 m = 0 m
The velocity at this position is calculated as;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2(-g)h\\\\v^2 = u^2 - 2gh\\\\v^2 = 5.3^2 - (2\times 9.8 \times 0)\\\\v^2 = 28.09\\\\v= \sqrt{28.09} \\\\v = 5.3 \ m/s[/tex]

b. 0.20 m/s.
c. 0.28 m/s.
d. 0.14 m/s.
e. 0.10 m/s.
Answer:
b. 0.20 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
initial mass, m = 0.2 kg
maximum speed, v = 0.3 m/s
The total energy of the spring at the given maximum speed is calculated as;
K.E = ¹/₂mv²

Two distinct systems have the same amount of stored internal energy. 500 J are added by heat to the first system and 300 J are added by heat to the second system. What will be the change in internal energy of the first system if it does 200 J of work? How much work will the second system have to do in order to have the same internal energy?
Answer:
The change in the internal energy of the first system is 300 J
The second system will do zero work in order to have the same internal energy.
Explanation:
Given;
heat added to the first system, Q₁ = 500 J
heat added to the second system, Q₂ = 300 J
work done by the first system, W₁ = 200 J
The change in the internal energy of the system is given by the first law of thermodynamics;
ΔU = Q - W
where;
ΔU is the change in internal energy of the system
The change in the internal energy of the first system is calculated as;
ΔU₁ = Q₁ - W₁
ΔU₁ = 500 J - 200 J
ΔU₁ = = 300 J
The work done by the second system to have the same internal energy with the first.
ΔU₁ = Q₂ - W₂
W₂ = Q₂ - ΔU₁
W₂ = 300 J - 300 J
W₂ = 0
The second system will do zero work in order to have the same internal energy.
A barge is hauled along a straight-line section of canal by two horses harnessed to tow ropes and walking along the tow paths on
either side of the canal. Each horse pulls with a force of 839 N at an angle of 15° with the centerline of the canal. Find the sum of these
two forces on the barge.
answer in ___kN
Answer:
1.621 kN
Explanation:
Since each horse pulls with a force of 839 N at an angle of 15° with the centerline of the canal, the horizontal component of the force due to the first horse along the canal is F= 839cos15° N and its vertical component is F' = 839sin15° N(it is positive since it is perpendicular to the centerline of the canal and points upwards).
The horizontal component of the force due to the second horse along the canal is f = 839cos15° N and its vertical component is f' = -839sin15° N (it is negative since it is perpendicular to the centerline of the canal and points downwards).
So, the resultant horizontal component of force R = F + f = 839cos15° N + 839cos15° N = 2(839cos15°) N = 2(839 × 0.9659) = 2 × 810.412 = 1620.82 N
So, the resultant vertical component of force R' = F' + f' = 839sin15° N + (-839sin15° N) = 839sin15° N - 839sin15° N = 0 N
The magnitude of the resultant force which is the sum of the two forces is R" = √(R² + R'²)
= √(R² + 0²) (since R' = 0)
= √R²
= R
= 1620.82 N
= 1.62082 kN
≅ 1.621 kN
So, the sum of these two forces on the barge is 1.621 kN
3. If you change the resistance of the resistor:
a. How does the current through the circuit change? (answer, explain, evidence)
b. How does the voltage of the battery change? (answer, explain, evidence)
Answer:
Explanation:
Changing the resistance of a resistor means the resistance is either increased or decreased.
a. When the resistance of the resistor is increased, the value of current flowing through the circuit decreases.
Example: given voltage of 6V, and a resistance of 30 Ohm's. The value of current flowing in the circuit is;
V = IR
6 = I x 30
I = 0.2 A
If the resistance is changed to 50 Ohm's, then:
I = 0.12 A
(ii) When the resistance of the resistor is decreased, the value of the current flowing through the circuit increases.
In the previous example, if the resistance is changed to 5 Ohm's, then:
V = IR
6 = I x 5
I = 1.2 A
(b) The voltage of the battery does not change since it is directly proportional to the current flowing through the circuit. Consider the examples stated above.
