What is the meant of by renewable energy and non-renewrable with example of each.
Answer:
Renewable energy is a type of energy that can be renewed easily, such as sunlight. By using Solar panels to collect the suns energy, we are not depleting it, so this source is renewable.
Non-renewable energy is something that cannot easily be replenished. An example would be oil because oil takes millions of years to form and cannot be renewed easily.
Calculate the buoyant force due to the surrounding air on a man weighing 600 N . Assume his average density is the same as that of water. Suppose that the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3.
Answer:
[tex]F_b= 0.720 N[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Weight [tex]W=600N[/tex]
Average density [tex]\rho=1.20kg/m^3[/tex]
Mass
[tex]m=\frac{W}{g}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{600}{9.81}[/tex]
[tex]m=61.22kg[/tex]
Generally the equation for Volume is mathematically given by
[tex]V =\frac{ mass}{density}[/tex]
[tex]V= \frac{61.22}{1000}[/tex]
[tex]V=0.06122 m^3[/tex]
Therefore
Buoyant force [tex]F_b[/tex]
[tex]F_b=\rho*V*g[/tex]
[tex]F_b= rho_air*V*g[/tex]
[tex]F_b= 0.720 N[/tex]
A mass of 240 grams oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface at a frequency of 2.5 Hz and with amplitude of 4.5 cm.
a. What is the effective spring constant for this motion?
b. How much energy is involved in this motion?
Answer:
(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m
(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J
Explanation:
Given;
mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg
frequency, f = 2.5 Hz
amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m
The angular speed is calculated as;
ω = 2πf
ω = 2 x π x 2.5
ω = 15.71 rad/s
(a) The spring constant is calculated as;
[tex]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m\omega ^2\\\\where;\\\\k \ is \ the \ spring \ constant\\\\k = (0.24) \times (15.71)^2\\\\k = 59.23 \ N/m[/tex]
(b) The total energy involved in the motion;
E = ¹/₂kA²
E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²
E = 0.06 J
A stone dropped from the top of a 80m high building strikes the ground at 40 m/s after falling for 4 seconds. The stone's potential energy with respect to the ground is equal to its kinetic energy … (use g = 10 m/s 2)
A) at the moment of impact.
B) 2 seconds after the stone is released.
C) after the stone has fallen 40 m.
D) when the stone is moving at 20 m/s.
At the moment of impact both Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy should be 0, right? So it can't be A), right? Or is this wrong? Is it indeed A)? Please show work and explain it well.
Answer:
Explanation:
The answer is C because the building is 80 meters high. Before the stone is dropped, it has ONLY potential energy since kinetic energy involves velocity and a still stone has no velocity. At impact, there is no potential energy because potential energy involves the height of the stone relative to the ground and a stone ON the ground has no height; here there is ONLY kinetic.
From the First Law of Thermodynamics, we know that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. Therefore, that means that at the halfway point of 40 meters, half of the stone's potential energy has been lost, and it has been lost to kinetic energy. Here, at 40 meters, there is an equality between PE and KE. It only last for however long the stone is AT 40 meters, which is probably a millisecond of time, but that's where they are equal.
What is the feature known as the "Great Dark Spot" of Neptune? It is an apparently permanent feature about five times the size of Earth, similar to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, near Neptune's south pole. It was a dark hole in the upper atmosphere left by the collision of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. It was an apparently temporary feature about the size of Earth, similar to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, but disappeared within a few years. It is a dark surface feature on the surface snow layers caused by radiation discoloration of the older layers. It is a permanent discoloration of the north polar region of Neptune caused by locally prevailing lower surface temperatures there.
Answer:
It was an apparently temporary feature about the size of Earth, similar to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, but disappeared within a few years.
Explanation:
The Great Dark Spot of Neptune was an immense spinning storm in the southern atmosphere of Neptune. The size of the entire Earth, it had the strongest winds ever recorded on any planet in the solar system. It was discovered by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1989, but by 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope saw it was gone.
The Great Red Spot is a storm found in Jupiter's southern hemisphere, with similar characteristics to the Great Dark Spot.

Two identical cars, each traveling at 16 m>s, slam into a concrete wall and come to rest. In car A the air bag does not deploy and the driver hits the steering wheel; in car B the driver contacts the deployed air bag. (a) Is the impulse delivered by the steering wheel to driver A greater than, less than, or equal to the impulse delivered by the air bag to driver B
Answer:
I = - m 16 the two impulses are the same,
Explanation:
The impulse is given by the relationship
I = Δp
I = p_f - p₀
in this case the final velocity is zero therefore p_f = 0
I = -p₀
For driver A the steering wheel impulse is
I = - m v₀
I = - m 16
For driver B, the airbag gives an impulse
I = - m 16
We can see that the two impulses are the same, the difference is that in the air bag more time is used to give this impulse therefore the force on the driver is less
A 34-m length of wire is stretched horizontally between two vertical posts. The wire carries a current of 68 A and experiences a magnetic force of 0.16 N. Find the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the location of the wire, assuming the field makes an angle of 72.0° with respect to the wire.
Answer:
7.28×10⁻⁵ T

Applying,
F = BILsin∅............. Equation 1
Where F = magnetic force, B = earth's magnetic field, I = current flowing through the wire, L = Length of the wire, ∅ = angle between the field and the wire.
make B the subject of the equation
B = F/ILsin∅.................. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: F = 0.16 N, I = 68 A, L = 34 m, ∅ = 72°
Substitute these values into equation 2
B = 0.16/(68×34×sin72°)
B = 0.16/(68×34×0.95)
B = 0.16/2196.4
B = 7.28×10⁻⁵ T

A car travelling at 14.0 m/s approaches a traffic light. The driver applies the brakes and is able to come to halt in 5.6 s. Determine the average acceleration of the car during this time interval.
Answer:
[tex]a=2.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of the car, u = 14 m/s
Finally, it comes to rest, v = 0
Time, t = 5.6 s
We need to find the average acceleration of the car during this time interval. We know that,
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-14}{5.6}\\\\a=-2.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the car is [tex]2.5\ m/s^2[/tex] in the opposite direction of motion.
In a similar rolling race (no slipping), the two objects are a solid cylinder and hollow cylinder of the same radius and mass. Which reaches the bottom first
Answer:
solid cylinder
Explanation:
the object that arrives first is the object that has more speed, let's use the concepts of energy
starting point. Highest point
Em₀ = U = m g h
final point. Lowest point
Em_f = K = ½ mv² + ½ I w²
since the body has rotational and translational movement
how energy is conserved
m g h = ½ mv² + ½ I w²
linear and angular velocity are related
v = w r
w = v / r
we substitute
m g h = ½ mv² + ½ I (v/r) ²
mg h = ½ v² (m + I /r²)
v = [tex]\sqrt{2gh \ \frac{m}{m + \frac{I}{r^2} } }[/tex]
the tabulated moments of inertia for the bodies are
solid cylinder I = ½ m r²
hollow cylinder I = m r²
we look for the speed for each body
solid cylinder
v₁ = [tex]\sqrt {2gh} \ \sqrt{\frac{m}{m + m/2} }[/tex]
v₁ = [tex]\sqrt{2gh} \ \sqrt{2/3}[/tex]
let's call v₀ = [tex]\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]
v₁ = 0.816 v₀
hollow cylinder
v₂ = [tex]\sqrt{2gh } \ \sqrt{\frac{m}{m+ m} }[/tex]
v₂ = v₀ √½
v₂ = 0.707 v₀
Therefore, the body that has the highest speed is the solid cylinder and since time is the inverse of speed, this is the body that spends less time to reach the bottom, that is, it is the first to arrive

A 1030 kg car has four 12.0 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to rotation of the wheels about their axles
Answer:
The required fraction is 0.023.
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of a car, m = 1030 kg
Mass of 4 wheels = 12 kg
We need to find the fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to rotation of the wheels about their axles.
The rotational kinetic energy due to four wheel is
[tex]=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\\=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}mR^2(\dfrac{v}{R})^2\\\\=mv^2[/tex]
Linear kinetic Energy of the car is:
[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times Mv^2[/tex]
Fraction,
[tex]f=\dfrac{mv^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2}\\\\f=\dfrac{m}{\dfrac{1}{2}M}\\\\f=\dfrac{12}{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1030}\\\\=0.023[/tex]
So, the required fraction is 0.023.

The paper dielectric in a paper-and-foil capacitor is 0.0785 mm thick. Its dielectric constant is 2.35, and its dielectric strength is 49.5 MV/m. Assume that the geometry is that of a parallel-plate capacitor, with the metal foil serving as the plates.
Required:
a. What area of each plate is required for for a 0.300 uF capacitor?
b. If the electric field in the paper is not to exceed one-half the dielectric strength, what is the maximum potential difference that can be applied across the compactor?
Answer:
a) required area is 1.1318 m²
b) the maximum potential difference that can be applied across the compactor is 1931.1 V
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
dielectric constant εr = 2.35
distance between plates ( thickness ) d = 0.0785 mm = 7.85 × 10⁻⁵ m
dielectric strength = 49.5 MV/m
a)
given that capacity capacitor C = 0.3 uF = 0.3 × 10⁻⁶ F
To find the Area, we use the following the expression.
C = ε₀εrA / d
we know that The permittivity of free space, ε₀ = 8.854 x 10⁻¹² (F/m)
we substitute
0.3 × 10⁻⁶ = [ (8.854 x 10⁻¹²) × 2.35 × A ] / 7.85 × 10⁻⁵
A = [ (0.3 × 10⁻⁶) × (7.85 × 10⁻⁵) ] / [ 2.35 × (8.854 x 10⁻¹²) ]
A = 2.355 × 10⁻¹¹ / 2.08069 × 10⁻¹¹
A = 1.1318 m²
Therefore, required area is 1.1318 m²
b)
the maximum potential difference that can be applied across the compactor.
We use the following expression;
⇒ 1/2 × dielectric strength × thickness d
we substitute
⇒ 1/2 × ( 49.5 × 10⁶ V/m ) × ( 7.85 × 10⁻⁵ m )
⇒ 1931.1 V
Therefore, the maximum potential difference that can be applied across the compactor is 1931.1 V

Wind instruments like trumpets and saxophones work on the same principle as the "tube closed on one end" that we examined in our last experiment. What effect would it have on the pitch of a saxophone if you take it from inside your house (at 76 degrees F) to the outside on a cold day when the outside temperature is 45 degrees F ?
Answer:
The correct answer would be - Low pitch.
Explanation:
As it is known that if frequency increases then pitch will be increase as well as pitch depends on frequency, Now for the question it is mentioned that the tube closed on one end frequency is:
f = v/2l
Where,
l = length of the tube
v = velocity of longitudinal wave of gas filled in the tube
Now increase with the temperature the density of the gas decreases and velocity v is inversely proportional to density of gas so velocity increases. So if there is an increase in frequency so pitch also increases. As the temperature inside the house is at 750 F more than outsideat 450 Fso pitch is more inside and the pitch is low outside.

Let g' = the gravitational field strength at an altitude h
[tex]g' = G\dfrac{M_E}{(R_E + h)^2}[/tex]
We also know that g at the earth's surface is
[tex]g = G\dfrac{M_E}{R_E^2}[/tex]
Since g' = (2/3)g, we can write
[tex]G\dfrac{M_E}{(R_E + h)^2} = \dfrac{2}{3}\left(G\dfrac{M_E}{R_E^2} \right)[/tex]
Simplifying the above expression by cancelling out common factors, we get
[tex](R_E + h)^2 = \dfrac{3}{2} R_E^2[/tex]
Taking the square root of both sides, this becomes
[tex]R_E + h = \left(\!\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}\right) R_E[/tex]
Solving for h, we get

Dielectric strength [tex]E=2\times 10^8\ V/m[/tex]
Distance between capacitors [tex]d=5\ mm[/tex]
Maximum charge that can be stored before dielectric breakdown is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow Q=CV\\\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{k\epsilon_oA}{d}\cdot (Ed)\quad\quad [V=E\cdot d]\\\\\Rightarrow Q=k\epsilon_oAE\\\\\Rightarrow Q=4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.4\times 10^{-4}\times 2\times 10^8\\\\\Rightarrow Q=28.32\times 10^{-8}\\\\\Rightarrow Q=283.2\times 10^{-9}\ nC[/tex]
Answer:
The maximum charge is 7.08 x 10^-8 C.
Explanation:
Area, A = 0.4 cm^2
K = 4
Electric field, E = 2 x 10^8 V/m
separation, d = 5 mm = 0.005 m
Let the capacitance is C and the charge is q.
[tex]q = CV\\\\q=\frac{\varepsilon o A}{d}\times E d\\\\q = \varepsilon o A E\\\\q = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times0.4\times 10^{-4}\times 2\times 10^8\\\\q = 7.08\times 10^{-8}C[/tex]

1) Consider an electric power transmission line that carries a constant electric current of i = 500 A. The cylindrical copper cable used to transmit this current has a diameter o = 2.00 cm and a length L = 150 km. If there are 8.43x10^28 free electrons per cubic meter (m^3 ) in the cable, calculate how long it would take for an electron to cross the entire length of the transmitter line.
Answer:
t = 1.27 x 10⁹ s
Explanation:
First, we will find the volume of the wire:
Volume = V = AL
where,
A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr² = π(1 cm)² = π(0.01 m)² = 3.14 x 10⁻⁴ m²
L = Length of wire = 150 km = 150000 m
Therefore,
V = 47.12 m³
Now, we will find the number of electrons in the wire:
No. of electrons = n = (Electrons per unit Volume)(V)
n = (8.43 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³)(47.12 m³)
n = 3.97 x 10³⁰ electrons
Now, we will use the formula of current to find out the time taken by each electron to cross the wire:
[tex]I =\frac{q}{t}[/tex]
where,
t = time = ?
I = current = 500 A
q = total charge = (n)(chareg on one electron)
q = (3.97 x 10³⁰ electrons)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C/electron)
q = 6.36 x 10¹¹ C
[tex]500\ A = \frac{6.36\ x\ 10^{11}\ C}{t}\\\\t = \frac{6.36\ x\ 10^{11}\ C}{500\ A}[/tex]
Therefore,
t = 1.27 x 10⁹ s

Army is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward. How fast does Bill see Carlos moving and in what direction?
a. 10 mis eastward
b. 5 m/s eastward
c. 15 m/s westward
d. 20 m/s westward
e. 10 m/s westward
Explanation:
Given that,
Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.
Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:
[tex]v_B=+5\ m/s[/tex]is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)
[tex]v_c=15\ m/s[/tex] is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.
Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is
[tex]v_B=+5\ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be
[tex]v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s[/tex]
So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).
