Explain the following observations:
a) A balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air;
B) A ship made of steel floats on water.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.

A motor is designed to operate on 117 V and draws a current of 17.7 A when it first starts up. At its normal operating speed, the motor draws a current of 2.78 A. Obtain (a) the resistance of the armature coil, (b) the back emf developed at normal speed, and (c) the current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed.

Answers

Answer:

Resistance of the armature coil = 6.61 ohms

Back emf developed at normal speed = 98.62 V (Approx.)

Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed = 12.73 A

Explanation:

Given:

Potential difference V = 117 V

Current = 17.7 A

Motor drawn current = 2.78 A

Find:

Resistance of the armature coil

Back emf developed at normal speed

Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed

Computation:

A] Resistance of the armature coil R = V/ I

Resistance of the armature coil = 117 / 17.7

Resistance of the armature coil = 6.61 ohms

B] Back emf developed at normal speed  = V- IR

Back emf developed at normal speed = 117 V - (2.78 A)(6.61 ohms)

Back emf developed at normal speed = 117 V - 18.37

Back emf developed at normal speed = 98.62 V (Approx.)

C] Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed = 17.7 A - (98.62/3)/(6.61 ohms)

Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed = 17.7 - 4.97

Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed = 12.73 A

4. A diver is 20 m underwater and they are startled by a shark. They are tempted to take a big breath of air, drop their gear, and swim to the surface while holding their breath. Explain why this is dangerous g

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The air enters their lungs at the same pressure as the water at that depth.

If they hold their breath as they rise to atmospheric pressure, the expanding volume of air (due to decreasing pressure) trapped in their lungs will hyperextend the alveoli in their lungs, likely tearing blood lines and risking death by drowning in their own blood.

b. Projectile on cliff (range)
An object of mass 5 kg is projected at an angle of 25° to the horizontal with a speed of 22 ms-1 from the top of the cliff.
The height of the cliff is 21 m. Take g, the acceleration due to gravity, to be 9.81 ms2
How far horizontally (to 1 decimal place) from the base of the cliff does the object land?

Answers

Answer:

x = 41.28 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's find the time it takes to get to the base of the cliff.

Let's start by using trigonometry to find the initial velocity

         cos 25 = v₀ₓ / v₀

         sin 25 = Iv_{oy} / v₀

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 25

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin 25

         v₀ₓ = 22 cos 25 = 19.94 m / s

         v_{oy} = 22 sin 25 = 0.0192 m / s

let's use movement on the vertical axis

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

     

when reaching the base of the cliff y = 0 and the initial height is y₀ = 21 m

         0 = 21 + 0.0192 t - ½ 9.81 t²

         4.905 t² - 0.0192 t - 21 = 0

         t² - 0.003914 t - 4.2813 =0

we solve the quadratic equation

        t = [tex]\frac{ 0.003914\ \pm \sqrt{0.003914^2 + 4 \ 4.2813 } }{2}[/tex]

        t = [tex]\frac{0.003914 \ \pm 4.13828}{2}[/tex]

        t₁ = 2.07 s

        t₂ = -2.067 s

since time must be a positive scalar quantity, the correct result is

        t = 2.07 s

now we can look up the distance traveled

         x = v₀ₓ t

         x = 19.94  2.07

         x = 41.28 m

Rachel has good distant vision but has a touch of presbyopia. Her near point is 0.60 m. Part A When she wears 2.0 D reading glasses, what is her near point

Answers

Answer:

The right answer is "0.273 m".

Explanation:

Given:

Power (P),

[tex]\frac{1}{f} = 2D[/tex]

Near point,

u = 0.6 m

As we know,

⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} = 2[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{0.6} =2[/tex]

            [tex]\frac{1}{v}=2+\frac{1}{0.6}[/tex]

            [tex]\frac{1}{v} =\frac{1.2+1}{0.6}[/tex]

            [tex]\frac{1}{v}=\frac{2.2}{0.6}[/tex]    

By applying cross-multiplication, we get

          [tex]0.6=2.2 \ v[/tex]

            [tex]v = \frac{0.6}{2.2}[/tex]

      [tex]S_{near} = 0.273 \ m[/tex]

The pressure of sea water increases by 1.0atm for each 10m increase in the depth, by what percentage is the density of water increased in the deepest ocean of water of 12km. Compressibility is 5.0×10^-5 atm

Answers

The percentage by which the water density increased is 4.1[tex]\mathbf{\overline 6}[/tex] %

The known values are;

The increase in pressure per 10 meter increase in depth = 1.0 atm

The depth of the deepest ocean = 12 km = 12,000 m

The compressibility of the ocean = 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ 1/atm

The unknown

The percentage the density of water increased in the deepest ocean

Strategy;

Find the pressure at the deepest point of the deepest ocean and apply the compressibility

We have;

[tex]\mathbf{Compressibility = \dfrac{1}{V} \times \dfrac{\partial V}{\partial p}}[/tex]

The change in pressure, [tex]\partial p[/tex] = (12,000 m/(10 m)) × 1.0 atm = 1,200 atm

Therefore, we have for one cubic meter of water

[tex]\mathbf{5.0 \times 10^{-5} \ atm^{-1} = \dfrac{1}{1 \, m^3} \times \dfrac{\partial V}{1,200 \, atm}}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\mathbf{\partial}[/tex]V = 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ atm⁻¹ × 1 m³ × 1,200 atm = 0.06 m³

The new volume = V - [tex]\mathbf{\partial}[/tex]V

∴ The new volume = 1 m³ - 0.06 m³ = 0.94 m³

The initial density = mass/(1 m³)

The new density = mass/(0.96 m³)

The percentage increase in density, [tex]\partial[/tex]ρ%, is given as follows;

[tex]\mathbf{\partial p \% = \dfrac{ \dfrac{Mass}{0.96 \ m^3} - \dfrac{Mass}{1 \ m^3} }{ \dfrac{Mass}{1 \ m^3}} \times 100 = \dfrac{25}{6} \% = 4.1 \overline 6 \%}[/tex]

∴  [tex]\mathbf{\partial}[/tex]ρ% =  4.1[tex]\mathbf {\overline 6}[/tex] %

The percentage by which the water density increased, [tex]\partial[/tex]ρ% = 4.1[tex]\mathbf{\overline 6}[/tex] %

A simple pendulum consists of a ball of mass 3 kg hanging from a uniform string of mass 0.05 kg and length L. If the period of oscillation of the pendulum is 2 s, determine the speed of a transverse wave in the string when the pendulum hangs vertically.

Answers

Answer:

v = 3.12 m/s

Explanation:

First, we will find the length of the string by using the formula of the time period:

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\\l = \frac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}\\\\[/tex]

where,

l = length of string = ?

T = time period = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

[tex]l = \frac{(2\ s)^2(9.81\ m/s^2)}{4\pi^2}\\\\l = 0.99\ m[/tex]

Now, we will find tension in the string in the vertical position through the weight of the ball:

T = W = mg = (3 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

T = 29.43 N

Now, the speed of the transverse wave is given as follows:

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m}}\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{(29.43\ N)(0.99\ m)}{3\ kg}}\\\\[/tex]

v = 3.12 m/s

If rope tension is T

why the stone moves away when the string is broken rotation​

Answers

Answer:

When a stone is going around a circular path, the instantaneous velocity of stone is acting as tangent to the circle. When the string breaks, the centripetal force stops to act. Due to inertia, the stone continues to move along the tangent to circular path. So, the stone flies off tangentially to the circular path

Answer:

when the string's rotation is broken, there will be no centripetal force to keep the stone stationary. Thus, the stone will flung away when the rotation is stopped
