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:

Answers

Answer 1

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)

A capacitor is connected to an ac generator that has a frequency of 3.2 kHz and produces a rms voltage of 2.0 V. The rms current in the capacitor is 28 mA. When the same capacitor is connected to a second ac generator that has a frequency of 4.7 kHz, the rms current in the capacitor is 70 mA. What rms voltage does the second generator produce

Answers

Answer:

The rms voltage of new generator is 3.4 V.

Explanation:

f = 3200 Hz

rms voltage, V = 2 V

rms current, i = 28 mA

Now

f' = 4700 Hz

rms current, i' = 70 mA

let the new rms voltage is V'.

[tex]i = \frac{V}{Xc} = V \times 2\pi fC....(1)\\\\i' = V' \times 2 \pi f' C..... (2)\\\\\frac{i}{i'} =\frac{V f}{V' f'}\\\\\frac{28}{70}=\frac{2\times 3200}{V'\times 4700}\\\\V' = 3.4 V[/tex]

a person lifts 60kg on the surface of the earth, how much mass can he lift on the surface of the moon if he applies same magnitude of force​

Answers

Explanation:

Hey there!

According to the question;

A person can lift mass of 60 kg on earth.

mass(m1) = 60kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth (a) = 9.8m/s²

Now;

force (f) = m.a

= 60*9.8

= 588 N

Since, there is application of same magnitude of force on moon,

mass(m) =?

acceleration due to gravity on moon (a) = 1.67m/s²

Now;

force (f) = m.a

588 = m*1.67

m = 352.09 kg

Therefore, the person who can lift the mass of 60 kg on earth can lift mass of 352 kg on moon.

During normal beating, the heart creates a maximum 4.10-mV potential across 0.350 m of a person's chest, creating a 1.00-Hz electromagnetic wave. (a) What is the maximum electric field strength created? V/m (b) What is the corresponding maximum magnetic field strength in the electromagnetic wave? T (c) What is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave?

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

Maximum potential, V = 4. mV

Distance, d = 0.350 m

Frequency of the wave, f = 100 Hz

(a) The maximum electric field strength created is given by:

[tex]E=\dfrac{V}{d}\\\\E=\dfrac{4.1\times 10^{-3}}{0.350 }\\\\E=0.0117\ V/m[/tex]

(b) The corresponding maximum magnetic field strength in the electromagnetic wave is given by :

[tex]B=\dfrac{E}{c}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.0117}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B=3.9\times 10^{-11}\ T[/tex]

(c) The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave can be calculated as :

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{100}\\\\=3\times 10^6\ m[/tex]

So, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is [tex]3\times 10^6\ m[/tex].

The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 6 months. The lines of both stars shift by equal amounts, and the amount of the Doppler shift indicates that each star has an orbital speed of 64,000 m/s. What are the masses of the two stars

Answers

Answer:

the masses of the two stars are; m₁ = m₂ = 4.92 × 10³⁰ kg

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Time period = 6 months = 1.577 × 10⁷ s

orbital speed v = 64000 m/s

since its a circular orbit,

v = 2πr / T

we solve for r

r = vT/ 2π

r = ( 64000 × 1.577 × 10⁷ ) / 2π

r = 1.6063 × 10¹¹ m = ( (1.6063 × 10¹¹) / (1.496 × 10¹¹) )AU = 1.0737 AU

Now, from Kepler's law

T² = r³ / ( m₁ + m₂ )

T = 6 months = 0.5 years

we substitute

(0.5)² = (1.0737)³ / ( m₁ + m₂ )

0.25 = 1.2378 / ( m₁ + m₂ )

( m₁ + m₂ ) = 1.2378 / 0.25

( m₁ + m₂ ) = 4.9512

m₁ = m₂  = 4.9512 / 2 = 2.4756 solar mass

we know that solar mass = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

so

m₁ = m₂ = 2.4756 × 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

m₁ = m₂ = 4.92 × 10³⁰ kg

Therefore, the masses of the two stars are; m₁ = m₂ = 4.92 × 10³⁰ kg

An observer on Earth sees rocket 1 leave Earth and travel toward Planet X at 0.3c. The observer on Earth also sees that Planet X is stationary. An observer on Planet X sees rocket 2 travel toward Earth at 0.4c. What is the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2?

Answers

Answer:

0.625 c

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

[tex]$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$[/tex]

Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :

[tex]$u' = \frac{0.4 c- (-0.3 c)}{1-\frac{(0.4 c)(-0.3 c)}{c^2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$u' = \frac{0.7 c}{1.12}$[/tex]

[tex]u'=0.625 c[/tex]

Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c

A 2.0 kg puck is at rest on a level table. It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go. How far does the puck move from rest in 2.25 s?

Answer:

d = 6.32 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a puck, m = 2 kg

It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go.

We need to find the distance covered by the puck when move from rest in 2.25 s.

We know that,

F = ma

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\a=2.5\ m/s^2[/tex]

Let d is the distance moved in 2.25 s. Using second equation of motion,

[tex]d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times (2.25)^2\\\\d=6.32\ m[/tex]

So, it will move 6.32 m from rest in 2.25 seconds.

Explanation:

Wavelength is also measured in metres ( ) - it is a length after all. The frequency ( ) of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz ( ), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

Answer:

A stone that is dropped freely from rest traveled half the total height in the last second. with what velocity will it strike the ground

Answers

Answer:

hellooooo :) ur ans is 33.5 m/s

At time t, the displacement is h/2:

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h/2 = 0 + ½ gt²

h = gt²

At time t+1, the displacement is h.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h = 0 + ½ g (t + 1)²

h = ½ g (t + 1)²

Set equal and solve for t:

gt² = ½ g (t + 1)²

2t² = (t + 1)²

2t² = t² + 2t + 1

t² − 2t = 1

t² − 2t + 1 = 2

(t − 1)² = 2

t − 1 = ±√2

t = 1 ± √2

Since t > 0, t = 1 + √2.  So t+1 = 2 + √2.

At that time, the speed is:

v = at + v₀

v = g (2 + √2) + 0

v = g (2 + √2)

If g = 9.8 m/s², v = 33.5 m/s.

A transparent. dielectric coating is applied to glass (εr = 4.μr=1, σ= 0) to eliminate the reflection of red light (wavelength in air of 750 nm).

a. What is the required dielectric constant and minimum thickness of the coating?
b. If violet light (wavelength in air of 420 nm) is shone onto this glass coating (6-0). what percentage of the incident power will be reflected?

Answers

Answer:

a) Dielectric constant ( λ ) = 750 * 10^-9 m

   minimum thickness of coating ( d )  = 187.5 nm

b) 3.6%

Explanation:

Given data:

wavelength of red light in air = 750 nm

εr = 4

μr = 1,  σ = 0

a) Determine the required dielectric constant and min thickness of coating used

Refractive index of coating ( n ) = √εr * μr =  √4*1 = 2

the refractive index of glass( ng)  = 1.5 which is < 2

λ = 750 * 10^-9 m

Dielectric constant ( λ ) = 750 * 10^-9 m

To determine the minimum thickness we will apply the formula below

d = m λ/2n ;  where  m = 1

∴ d = 750 nm / 2 ( 2 )

      = 187.5 nm

minimum thickness of coating ( d )  = 187.5 nm

b) Determine the percentage of the incident power that will be reflected

R = [ ( n-1 / n + 1 ) - ( n - ng / ng + n ) ]^2

   = [ ( 2 - 1 / 2 + 1 ) - ( 2 - 1.5 / 1.5 + 2 ) ]^2

   = 0.03628 =  3.6%

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

For an object to have a static equilibrium, it must meet two relationships

             ∑ τ =0              

force acting on a body fulfills the relation of

         sum F = F - F = 0

when two forces do not move from position.

To find the torque we assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive

        Σ τ = - F r - F r

        Στ = -2 Fr <> 0

consequently the body is subjected to a continuous rotation and the body is not in rotational equilibrium
