A blue car pulls away from a red stop-light just after it has turned green with a constant acceleration of 0.2 m/s2. A green car arrives at the position of the stop-light 7.5 s after the light had turned green. If t = 0 when the light turns green, at what time does the green car catch the blue car if the green car maintains the slowest constant speed necessary to catch up to the blue car?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

After 15 seconds, the green car will catch up with the blue car

Explanation:

Let the time for the green car to catch up with the blue car be T

When the green car catches up to the blue car, the distances covered by each car after time T will be equal. Also, their velocities at that instant will be equal

Distance covered by blue car after time T is given by: s = ut + 0.5 at²

Where u = 0, a = 0.2 m/s², t = T

S = 0.5 × 0.2 × T² = 0.1 T²

Velocity of blue car, v = u+ at

v = 0.2T

Distance covered by green car at T is given as: S = Velocity × time

Where v = 0.2T, t = T - 7.5 (since the blue car started 7.5 seconds earlier)

S = 0.2T (T - 7.5)

S = 0.2 T² - 1.5T

Equating the distance covered by the two cars

0.2T² - 1.5T = 0.1T²

0.1T² - 1.5T = 0

T(0.1T - 1.5) = 0

T = 0 or

T = 1.5/0.1 = 15 secs

Therefore, after 15 seconds, the green car will catch up with the blue car

b. What is the acceleration if the scale reads 670 N?
c. If the scale reads zero, should the student worry? Explain.
d. What is the tension in the cable in parts (a) and (c)?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 9.28 m/s2

(b) 9.03 m/s2

(c) 9.8 m/s2

(d) 450 N, 670 N

Explanation:

mass of elevator + student, m = 870 kg

Reading of scale, R = 450 N

(a) When the elevator goes down, the weight decreases.

Let the acceleration is a.

By the Newton's second law

m g - R = m a

870 x 9.8 - 450 = 870 a

a = 9.28 m/s2

(b) R = 670 N

Let the acceleration is a.

870 x 9.8 - 670 = 870 a

a = 9.03 m/s2

(c) If the scale reads zero, it mean the elevator is falling freely. The acceleration is downwards and its value is 9.8 m/s2.

(d) Tension in cable is 450 N and 670 N.

To a man running east at the rate of 3m/s vain appears to fall vertically with a speed of 4m/s. Find the actual speed and direction of rain...​

Answers

Answer:

The actual speed of the rain is 5 m/s and its direction is -53.13°

Explanation:

The actual speed of the rain V = speed of man, v + speed of rain relative to man, v'.

V = v + v'

We add these vectorially.

Since the man's speed is 3 m/s east, in the positive x - direction, we have v = 3i  and the rain's speed is falling vertically at 4 m/s, in the negative y- direction, we have v' = -4j

So, V = v + v'

V = 3i + (-4j)

V = 3i - 4j

So, the magnitude of V which is its speed is V = √(3² + (-4)²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 m/s

The direction of V, Ф = tan⁻¹(vertical component/horizontal component) = tan⁻¹(-4/3) = tan⁻¹(-4/3) = tan⁻¹(-1.333) = -53.13°

So, the actual speed of the rain is 5 m/s and its direction is -53.13°

What is the electric field 3.9 m from the center of the terminal of a Van de Graaff with a 6.60 mC charge, noting that the field is equivalent to that of a point charge at the center of the terminal

Answers

Answer:

the electric field is  3.91 x 10⁶ N/C

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Electric field at a point due to point charge is;

E = kq/r²

where k is the constant, r is the distance from centre of terminal to point where electric field is, q is the excess charge placed on the centre of terminal of Van de Graff,a generator

Now, given that r = 3.9 m, k = 9.0 x 10⁹ Nm²/C², q = 6.60 mC = 6.60 x 10⁻³ C

so we substitute into the formula

E = [(9.0 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²)( 6.60 x 10⁻³ C)] / ( 3.9 )²

E = 59400000 / 15.21

E = 3.91 x 10⁶ N/C

Therefore, the electric field is  3.91 x 10⁶ N/C

A balloon is filled with 80 liters of gas on a day where the temperature was 34 degrees at sea level which is 101.3 kPa and released. As the balloon rises to a certain altitude, the temperature drops to 0 degrees celsius and the balloon doubles in volume. What is the atmospheric pressure at that altitude?

Answers

Answer:

0.444atm

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (

P2 = final pressure (

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question,

P1 = 101.3 kPa = 101.3 × 0.00987 = 0.999atm

P2 = ?

V1 = 80L

V2 = 160L (double of V1)

T1 = 34°C = 34 + 273 = 307K

T2 = 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273K

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

0.999 × 80/307 = P2 × 160/273

79.92/307 = 160P2/273

Cross multiply

307 × 160P2 = 79.92 × 273

49120P2 = 21818.16

P2 = 21818.16 ÷ 49120

P2 = 0.444

P2 = 0.444atm

You take your pulse and observe 80 heartbeats in a minute. What is the period of your heartbeat? What is the frequency of your heartbeat?

Answers

Answer:

120 beats per minute.

Explanation:

If I take your pulse and observe 80 heartbeats in a minute. Then the period of your heartbeat is 0.8 s and frequency is 1.3Hz.

What is Heartbeat ?

A pulse is the term used in medicine to describe the tactile arterial palpation of the cardiac cycle (heartbeat) by skilled fingertips. Any location where an artery can be compressed close to the surface of the body, such as the carotid artery in the neck, the radial artery in the wrist, the femoral artery in the groyne, the popliteal artery behind the knee, the posterior tibial artery near the ankle joint, and on the foot, can be used to palpate the pulse (dorsalis pedis artery). Heart rate may be determined by monitoring pulse, or the number of arterial pulses per minute. Auscultation, which is the process of counting the heartbeats while listening to the heart using a stethoscope, is another way to determine the heart rate. Typically, three fingers are used to gauge the radial pulse.

Given,

heart beat = 80 beats/min = 1.3 beats/s

Frequency is nothing but how much beats is heart having in one second and that is 1.3 beats/s. Hence frequency of heart is 1.3Hz.

The Period is reciprocal of frequency,

T = 1/f = 0.8 s

A 2.7 kg mass is connected to a spring (k=159 N/m) and is sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface. The mass is given an initial displacement of +19 cm and released with an initial velocity of -13 cm/s. Determine the acceleration of the spring at t=3.4 seconds.

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration of the spring at [tex]t = 3.4\,s[/tex] is -29339.947 centimeters per square second.

Explanation:

The mass-spring system experiments a Simple Harmonic Motion, whose kinematic expression is the following:

[tex]x(t) = A\cdot \cos \left(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\cdot t + \phi\right)[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]x(t)[/tex] - Position, in centimeters.

[tex]A[/tex] - Amplitude, in centimeters.

[tex]k[/tex] - Spring constant, in newtons per meter.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass, in kilograms.

[tex]\phi[/tex] - Phase, in radians.

By Differential Calculus, we derive expression for the velocity and acceleration of the mass-spring system:

[tex]v(t) = -\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\cdot A\cdot \sin \left(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\cdot t +\phi\right)[/tex] (2)

[tex]a(t) = -\frac{k\cdot A}{m}\cdot \cos \left(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\cdot t +\phi\right)[/tex] (3)

Where [tex]v(t)[/tex] and [tex]a(t)[/tex] are the velocity and acceleration of the system, in centimeters per second and centimeters per square second, respectively.

If we know [tex]m = 2.7\,kg[/tex], [tex]k = 159\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]t = 0\,s[/tex], [tex]x(t) = 19\,cm[/tex] and [tex]v(t) = -13\,\frac{cm}{s}[/tex], then we have the following system of nonlinear equations:

[tex]A \cdot \cos \phi = 19[/tex] (1)

[tex]-7.674\cdot A \cdot \sin \phi = - 13[/tex] (2)

If we divide (2) by (1):

[tex]-7.674\cdot \tan \phi = -0.684[/tex]

[tex]\tan \phi = 0.089[/tex]

[tex]\phi = \tan^{-1} 0.089[/tex]

[tex]\phi \approx 0.028\,rad[/tex]

By (1), we get the value of the amplitude:

[tex]A = \frac{19}{\cos \phi}[/tex]

[tex]A = 19.075\,cm[/tex]

If we know that [tex]A = 19.075\,cm[/tex], [tex]k = 159\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]m = 2.7\,kg[/tex], [tex]t = 3.4\,s[/tex] and [tex]\phi \approx 0.028\,rad[/tex], then the acceleration of the spring is:

[tex]a(t) = -29339.947\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}[/tex]

The acceleration of the spring at [tex]t = 3.4\,s[/tex] is -29339.947 centimeters per square second.

A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is transformed into elastic potential energy of the bending board; if the board bends far enough, it breaks. Applying a force to the center of a particular pine board deflects the center of the board by a distance that increases in proportion to the force. Ultimately the board breaks at an applied force of 870 N and a deflection of 1.4 cm.
a. To break the board with a blow from the hand, how fast must the hand be moving? Use 0.50 kg for the mass of the hand.
b. If the hand is moving this fast and comes to rest in a distance of 1.2 cm, what is the average force on the hand?

Answers

Answer:

A. The hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Explanation:

A.To determine the speed the hand must move with to break the board, the force workdone in breaking the board is found first.

Workdone = force × distance

Minimum force required = 870 N;

Distance moved by board/Deflection in order to break = 1.4 cm = 0.014 M

Workd done = 870 N × 0.014 m = 12.18 Nm or 12.18 J

This work done = Kinetic energy of the hand

Kinetic energy = mv²/2 ; where m is mass and v is velocity

Mass of hand = 0.50 Kg, velocity = ?, K.E. = 12.18 J

v² = 2 KE/m

v = √2KE/m

v = √(2 × 12.18/0.50)

v = 6.98 m/s

Therefore, the hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand

This can be determined using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as to find acceleration, since force = mass × acceleration

From the equation of motion, a = v² - u²/2s

At rest, v = 0, u = 6.98, s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

a = 0² - 6.98²/ 2 × 0.012

a = -2030 m/s²

Force = 2030 m/s² × 0. 50 kg = 1015 N

Therefore, Average force on the hand = 1025 N
