Answer:
A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.
Explanation:
This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.

A pool ball moving 1.83 m/s strikes an identical ball at rest. Afterward, the first ball moves 1.15 m/s at a 23.3 degrees angle. What is the y-component of the velocity of the second ball?
Answer:
v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s
Explanation:
This is an exercise of conservation of the momentum, for this we must define a system formed by the two balls, so that the forces during the collision have internal and the momentum is conserved
initial. Before the crash
p₀ = m v₁₀
final. After the crash
[tex]p_{f}[/tex] = m [tex]v_{1f}[/tex] + m v_{2f}
Recall that velocities are a vector so it has x and y components
p₀ = p_{f}
we write this equation for each axis
X axis
m v₁₀ = m v_{1fx} + m v_{2fx}
Y Axis
0 = -m v_{1fy} + m v_{2fy}
the exercise tells us the initial velocity v₁₀ = 1.83 m / s, the final velocity v_{2f} = 1.15, let's use trigonometry to find its components
sin 23.3 = v_{2fy} / v_{2f}
cos 23.3 = v_{2fx} / v_{2f}
v_{2fy} = v_{2f} sin 23.3
v_{2fx} = v_{2f} cos 23.3
we substitute in the momentum conservation equation
m v₁₀ = m v_{1f} cos θ + m v_{2f} cos 23.3
0 = - m v_{1f} sin θ + m v_{2f} sin 23.3
1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.15 cos 23.3
0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 1.15 sin 23.3
1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.0562
0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 0.4549
v_{1f} sin θ = 0.4549
v_{1f} cos θ = -0.7738
we divide these two equations
tan θ = - 0.5878
θ = tan-1 (-0.5878)
θ = -30.45º
we substitute in one of the two and find the final velocity of the incident ball
v_{1f} cos (-30.45) = - 0.7738
v_{1f} = -0.7738 / cos 30.45
v_{1f} = -0.8976 m / s
the component and this speed is
v_{1fy} = v1f sin θ
v_{1fy} = 0.8976 sin (30.45)
v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s
A mass M slides downward along a rough plane surface inclined at angle \Theta\:Θ= 32.51 in degrees relative to the horizontal. Initially the mass has a speed V_0\:V 0 = 6.03 m/s, before it slides a distance L = 1.0 m down the incline. During this sliding, the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by friction is equal to the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by the gravitational force. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the incline?
Answer: μ = 0.8885
Explanation: Force due to friction is calculated as: [tex]F_{f} = \mu.N[/tex]
At an inclined plane, normal force (N) is: N = mgcosθ, in which θ=32.51.
Power associated with work done by friction is [tex]P=F_{f}.x[/tex]. The variable x is displacement the object "spent its energy".
Power associated with work done by gravitational force is P = mghcosθ, where h is height.
The decline forms with horizontal plane a triangle as draw in the picture.
To determine force due to friction:
[tex]F_{f}.x=mghcos(\theta)[/tex]
[tex]F_{f}=\frac{mghcos(\theta)}{x}[/tex]
Replacing force:
[tex]\frac{m.g.h.cos(\theta)}{x} = \mu.m.g.cos(\theta)[/tex]
[tex]\mu=\frac{h}{x}[/tex]
Calculating h using trigonometric relations:
[tex]sin(32.51) = \frac{h}{1}[/tex]
h = sin(32.51)
Coefficient of Kinetic friction is
[tex]\mu=\frac{sin(32.51)}{1}[/tex]
μ = 0.8885
For these conditions, coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.8885.

g A projectile is fired from the ground at an angle of θ = π 4 toward a tower located 600 m away. If the projectile has an initial speed of 120 m/s, find the height at which it strikes the tower
Answer:
The projectile strikes the tower at a height of 354.824 meters.
Explanation:
The projectile experiments a parabolic motion, which consist of a horizontal motion at constant speed and a vertical uniformly accelerated motion due to gravity. The equations of motion are, respectively:
Horizontal motion
[tex]x = x_{o}+v_{o}\cdot t \cdot \cos \theta[/tex]
Vertical motion
[tex]y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t \cdot \sin \theta +\frac{1}{2} \cdot g \cdot t^{2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]x_{o}[/tex], [tex]x[/tex] - Initial and current horizontal position, measured in meters.
[tex]y_{o}[/tex], [tex]y[/tex] - Initial and current vertical position, measured in meters.
[tex]v_{o}[/tex] - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.
[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.
The time spent for the projectile to strike the tower is obtained from first equation:
[tex]t = \frac{x-x_{o}}{v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta}[/tex]
If [tex]x = 600\,m[/tex], [tex]x_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]v_{o} = 120\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}[/tex], then:
[tex]t = \frac{600\,m-0\,m}{\left(120\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{4} }[/tex]
[tex]t \approx 7.071\,s[/tex]
Now, the height at which the projectile strikes the tower is: ([tex]y_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]t \approx 7.071\,s[/tex], [tex]v_{o} = 120\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex])
[tex]y = 0\,m + \left(120\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (7.071\,s)\cdot \sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (7.071\,s)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]y \approx 354.824\,m[/tex]
The projectile strikes the tower at a height of 354.824 meters.
Seismic attenuation and how spherical spreading affect amplitude, can anyone explain this please!
Answer:
Hey there!
This can be a confusing topic, so it's totally fine if you get confused...
First, Seismic Attenuation is how seismic waves lose energy as they expand and spread.
Secondly, when distance increases, amplitude decreases. This is because the distance (spherical spreading would mean radius) is inversely proportional to amplitude.
Let me know if this helps :)

and 5cm respectively, it is found
that an effort of 40N is required
to raise slowly a load 16ON
160 N. Find the Mechanical
Adventage and Effeciency,
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that
Effort = 40N
Load = 16ON
M.A = load/effort
M.A= 160N/40N
M.A = 4
Velocity ratio = V.R =radius of the wheel/radius of the axel
= 25cm/5cm
= 5
Efficiency = mechanical advantage/velocity ratio × 100/1
= 4/5 × 100/1
= 0.8×100/1
= 80%
Hence, the mechanical advantage of the machine is 4 while the efficiency is 80%.

A rectangular coil lies flat on a horizontal surface. A bar magnet is held above the center of the coil with its north pole pointing down. What is the direction of the induced current in the coil?
Answer:
There is no induced current on the coil.
Explanation:
Current is induced in a coil or a circuit, when there is a break of flux linkage. A break in flux linkage is caused by a changing magnetic field, and must be achieved by a relative motion between the coil and the magnet. Holding the magnet above the center of the coil will cause no changing magnetic filed since there is no relative motion between the coil and the magnet.
The hydrogen spectrum has a red line at 656 nm, and a blue line at 434 nm. What is the first order angular separation between the two spectral lines obtained with a diffraction grating with 5000 rulings/cm?
Answer:
Explanation:
grating element or slit width a = 1 x 10⁻² / 5000
= 2 x 10⁻⁶ m
angular width of first order spectral line of wavelength λ
= λ / a
for blue line angular width
= 434 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻⁶ radian
= 217 x 10⁻³ radian
for red line angular width
= 656 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻⁶ radian
= 328 x 10⁻³ radian
difference of their angular width
= 328 x 10⁻³ - 217 x 10⁻³
= 111 x 10⁻³ radian

P-weight blocks D and E are connected by the rope which passes through pulley B and are supported by the isorectangular prism articulated to the ground at its vertex A, while vertex C is attached to the vertical cord fixed to the ground. If the coefficient of friction between the prism and the blocks is 0.4; determine the maximum angle that measures the inclination of the AC face with respect to the horizontal so that the system remains in equilibrium.
Answer:
21.8°
Explanation:
Let's call θ the angle between BC and the horizontal.
Draw a free body diagram for each block.
There are 4 forces acting on block D:
Weight force P pulling down,
Normal force N₁ pushing perpendicular to AB,
Friction force N₁μ pushing parallel up AB,
and tension force T pushing parallel up AB.
There are 4 forces acting on block E:
Weight force P pulling down,
Normal force N₂ pushing perpendicular to BC,
Friction force N₂μ pushing parallel to BC,
and tension force T pulling parallel to BC.
Sum of forces on D in the perpendicular direction:
∑F = ma
N₁ − P sin θ = 0
N₁ = P sin θ
Sum of forces on D in the parallel direction:
∑F = ma
T + N₁μ − P cos θ = 0
T = P cos θ − N₁μ
T = P cos θ − P sin θ μ
T = P (cos θ − sin θ μ)
Sum of forces on E in the perpendicular direction:
∑F = ma
N₂ − P cos θ = 0
N₂ = P cos θ
Sum of forces on E in the parallel direction:
∑F = ma
N₂μ + P sin θ − T = 0
T = N₂μ + P sin θ
T = P cos θ μ + P sin θ
T = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)
Set equal:
P (cos θ − sin θ μ) = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)
cos θ − sin θ μ = cos θ μ + sin θ
1 − tan θ μ = μ + tan θ
1 − μ = tan θ μ + tan θ
1 − μ = tan θ (μ + 1)
tan θ = (1 − μ) / (1 + μ)
Plug in values:
tan θ = (1 − 0.4) / (1 + 0.4)
θ = 23.2°
∠BCA = 45°, so the angle of AC relative to the horizontal is 45° − 23.2° = 21.8°.
Describe and name the different types of collision. In which are the linear momentum and kinetic energy conserved

1. A 0.430kg baseball comes off a bar and goes straight up in the air. At a height of 10.0m, the baseball has a speed of 25.3m/s. Determine the mechanical energy at the height. Show all your work. 2. What is the baseball's mechanical energy when it is at a height of 8.0m? Explain?
Answer:
180 J
Explanation:
Mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
ME = KE + PE
ME = ½ mv² + mgh
ME = ½ (0.430 kg) (25.3 m/s)² + (0.430 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (10.0 m)
ME = 180 J
Mechanical energy is conserved, so it is 180 J at all points of the trajectory.
The baseball's mechanical energy when it is at a height of 8.0m is 180 J.
What is mechanical energy?The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time. Mechanical energy is always conserved.
Mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
Given is the mass of baseball m= 0.430 kg, height h =10m, speed v= 25.3m/s.
ME = KE + PE
ME = ½ mv² + mgh
Substitute the values, we get
ME = ½ (0.430 kg) (25.3 m/s)² + (0.430 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (10.0 m)
ME = 180 J
Thus, the baseball's mechanical energy when it is at a height of 8.0m is 180 J.

Two imaginary spherical surfaces of radius R and 2R respectively surround a positive point charge Q located at the center of the concentric spheres. When compared to the number of field lines N1 going through the sphere of radius R, the number of electric field lines N2 going through the sphere of radius 2R is
Answer:
N2 = ¼N1
Explanation:
First of all, let's define the terms;
N1 = number of electric field lines going through the sphere of radius R
N2 = number of electric field lines going through the sphere of radius 2R
Q = the charge enclosed at the centre of concentric spheres
ε_o = a constant known as "permittivity of the free space"
E1 = Electric field in the sphere of radius R.
E2 = Electric field in the sphere of radius 2R.
A1 = Area of sphere of radius R.
A2 = Area of sphere of radius 2R
Now, from Gauss's law, the electric flux through the sphere of radius R is given by;
Φ = Q/ε_o
We also know that;
Φ = EA
Thus;
E1 × A1 = Q/ε_o
E1 = Q/(ε_o × A1)
Where A1 = 4πR²
E1 = Q/(ε_o × 4πR²)
Similarly, for the sphere of radius 2R,we have;
E2 = Q/(ε_o × 4π(2R)²)
Factorizing out to get;
E2 = ¼Q/(ε_o × 4πR²)
Comparing E2 with E1, we arrive at;
E2 = ¼E1
Now, due to the number of lines is proportional to the electric field in the each spheres, we can now write;
N2 = ¼N1
What is the magnitude of the applied electric field inside an aluminum wire of radius 1.4 mm that carries a 4.5-A current
Answer:

From the question we are told that
The radius is [tex]r = 1.4 \ mm = 1.4 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The current is [tex]I = 4.5 \ A[/tex]
Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = \frac{J}{\sigma }[/tex]
Where [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the conductivity of aluminum with value [tex]\sigma = 3.5 *10^{7} \ s/m[/tex]
J is the current density which mathematically represented as

Here A is the cross-sectional area which is mathematically represented as
[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]A = 3.142 * (1.4*10^{-3})^2[/tex]
[tex]A = 6.158*10^{-6} \ m^2[/tex]
So
[tex]J = \frac{ 4.5 }{6.158*10^{-6}}[/tex]
[tex]J = 730757 A/m^2[/tex]
So

what happens to the value of y
Answer:
y is doubled
Explanation:
If x is halved, that means the value is doubled. Here is an exmaple:

A student wants to create a 6.0V DC battery from a 1.5V DC battery. Can this be done using a transformer alone
Answer:
Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.
Explanation:
A transformer, alone, can not be used to convert a DC voltage to another DC voltage. If we apply a DC voltage to the primary coil of the transformer, it will act as short circuit due to low resistance. It will cause overflow of current through winding, resulting in overheating pf the transformer.
Hence, the transformer only take AC voltage as an input, and converts it to another AC voltage. So, the output voltage of a transformer is also AC voltage.
So, in order to convert a 6 V DC to 1.5 V DC we need an inverter to convert 6 V DC to AC, then a step down transformer to convert it to 1.5 V AC, and finally a rectifier to convert 1.5 V AC to 1.5 V DC.
Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.
A resistance heater having 20.7 kW power is used to heat a room having 16 m X 16.5 m X 12.3 m size from 13.5 to 21 oC at sea level. The room is sealed once the heater is turned on. Calculate the amount of time needed for this heating to occur in min. (Write your answer in 3 significant digits. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature.)
Answer:
t = 23.6 min
Explanation:
First we need to find the mass of air in the room:
m = ρV
where,
m = mass of air in the room = ?
ρ = density of air at room temperature = 1.2041 kg/m³
V = Volume of room = 16 m x 16.5 m x 12.3 m = 3247.2 m³
Therefore,
m = (1.2041 kg/m³)(3247.2 m³)
m = 3909.95 kg
Now, we find the amount of energy consumed to heat the room:
E = m C ΔT
where,
E = Energy consumed = ?
C = Specific Heat of air at room temperature = 1 KJ/kg.⁰C
ΔT = Change in temperature = 21 °C - 13.5 °C = 7.5 °C
Therefore,
E = (3909.95 kg)(1 KJ/kg.°C)(7.5 °C)
E = 29324.62 KJ
Now, the time period can be calculated as:
P = E/t
t = E/P
where,
t = Time needed = ?
P = Power of heater = 20.7 KW
Therefore,
t = 29324.62 KJ/20.7 KW
t = (1416.65 s)(1 min/60 s)
t = 23.6 min

The head is [tex]h = 6 \ m[/tex]
The coefficient of contraction is [tex]Cc = 0.68[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{d}{2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]r = \frac{ 0.06 }{2}[/tex]
[tex]r = 0.03 \ m[/tex]
The area is mathematically represented as
[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]A = 3.142 * (0.03)^2[/tex]
[tex]A = 0.00283 \ m^2[/tex]
The discharge rate is mathematically represented as
[tex]Q = Cv *Cc * A * \sqrt{ 2 * g * h}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]Q = 0.68 * 0.92* 0.00283 * \sqrt{ 2 * 9.8 * 6}[/tex]
[tex]Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s[/tex]

Current produced by the solar cells of the pocket calculator is expressed using the formula I = Q/t where;
Q is the charge (in Columbs)
t is the time (in seconds)
Given parameters
Q = 4.2C
t = 2.7 hrs
t = 2.7*60*60
t = 9720 seconds
Required
Current produced by the solar cell I
Substituting the given values into the formula;
I = 4.2/9720
I = 0.000432A
I = 0.432mA
Hence, the current in milliamperes produced by the solar cells of a pocket calculator is 0.432mA
A simple pendulum takes 2.20 s to make one compete swing. If we now triple the length, how long will it take for one complete swing?
Answer:
Time taken for 1 swing = 3.81 second
Explanation:
Given:
Time taken for 1 swing = 2.20 Sec
Find:
Time taken for 1 swing , when triple the length(T2)
Computation:
Time taken for 1 swing = 2π[√l/g]
2.20 = 2π[√l/g].......Eq1
Time taken for 1 swing , when triple the length (3L)
Time taken for 1 swing = 2π[√3l/g].......Eq2
Squaring and dividing the eq(1) by (2)
4.84 / T2² = 1 / 3
T2 = 3.81 second
Time taken for 1 swing = 3.81 second
What is the observed wavelength of the 656.3 nm (first Balmer) line of hydrogen emitted by a galaxy at a distance of 2.40 x 108 ly
Answer:
λ = 667.85 nm
Explanation:
Let f be the frequency detected by the observer
Let v be the speed at which the observer is moving.
Now, when the direction at which the observer is moving is away from the source, we have the frequency as;
f = f_o√((1 - β)/(1 + β))
From wave equations, we know that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Thus, wavelength is now;
λ = λ_o√((1 + β)/(1 - β))
Where, β = Hr/c
H is hubbles constant which has a value of 0.0218 m/s • ly
c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s
r is given as 2.40 x 10^(8) ly
Thus,
β = (0.0218 × 2.4 x 10^(8))/(3 × 10^(8))
β = 0.01744
Since we are given λ_o = 656.3 nm
Then;
λ = 656.3√((1 + 0.01744)/(1 - 0.01744))
λ = 667.85 nm
Find the momentum of a particl with a mass of one gram moving with half the speed of light.
Answer:
129900
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the particle, m = 1 g = 1*10^-3 kg
Speed of the particle, u = ½c
Speed of light, c = 3*10^8
To solve this, we will use the formula
p = ymu, where
y = √[1 - (u²/c²)]
Let's solve for y, first. We have
y = √[1 - (1.5*10^8²/3*10^8²)]
y = √(1 - ½²)
y = √(1 - ¼)
y = √0.75
y = 0.8660, using our newly gotten y, we use it to solve the final equation
p = ymu
p = 0.866 * 1*10^-3 * 1.5*10^8
p = 129900 kgm/s
thus, we have found that the momentum of the particle is 129900 kgm/s
A small glass bead charged to 5.0 nC is in the plane that bisects a thin, uniformly charged, 10-cm-long glass rod and is 4.0 cm from the rod's center. The bead is repelled from the rod with a force of 910 N. What is the total charge on the rod?
Answer:
Explanation:
Let B= bead
Q = rod
the electric field at the glass bead pocation is
(Gauss theorem)
E = Q / (2 π d L εo)
the force is
F = q E = q Q / (2 π d L εo)
then
Q = 2 π d L εo F / q
Q = 2*3.14*4x10^-2*10^-1*8.85x10^-12*910x10^-4 / 5x10^-9 = 2.87x10^-8 C = 40.5 nC
