A missile is moving 1350 m/s at a 25° angle it needs to hit a target 23,500 m away in a 55° direction in 10.2 seconds what is the magnitude of its final velocity
Answer:
3504 m/s
Explanation:
Let x be the horizontal component of distance
y - vertical component of distance
t-time
ax- horizontal component of acceleration
ay-Vertical component of acceleration
Vx-horizontal component of velocity
Vy-Vertical component of velocity
horizontally: x = V_x ×t + ½×a_x×t²
plugging the values we get
23500× cos 55º = 1350×cos25.0º × 10.20 + ½×a_x× (10.20)²
⇒ax = 19.2 m/s²
Moreover,
V'x = V_x + a_x×t = 1350×cos25.0º + 19.2×10.20= 1419 m/s
similarly in vertical direction:
y = V_y×t + ½×a_y×t²
23500×sin55º = 1350×sin25.0º×10.20s + ½×a_y×(10.20)²
⇒a_y = 258 m/s²
Also,
V'y = V_y + a_y×t = 1350×sin25.0º + 258×10.20 = 3204 m/s
Therefore
V = √(V'x² + V'y²) = 3504 m/s
therefore, magnitude of final velocity of missile=3504 m/s

A 310 turn solenoid with a length of 18.0 cm and a radius of 1.60 cm carries a current of 1.90 A. A second coil of four turns is wrapped tightly around this solenoid, so it can be considered to have the same radius as the solenoid. The current in the 310 turn solenoid increases steadily to 5.00 A in 0.900 s.(a) Use Ampere's law to calculate the initial magnetic field in the middle of the 310 turn solenoid.T(b) Calculate the magnetic field of the 310 turn solenoid after 0.900 s.T(c) Calculate the area of the 4-turn coil.m2(d) Calculate the change in the magnetic flux through the 4-turn coil during the same period.Wb(e) Calculate the average induced emf in the 4-turn coil.VIs it equal to the instantaneous induced emf? Explain.(f) Why could contributions to the magnetic field by the current in the 4-turn coil be neglected in this calculation?
Answer:
Given that;
Number of turns in the solenoid N = 310
Length of the solenoid L = 18 cm = 0.18 m
Radius of the solenoid r = 1.60 cm = 0.016 m
Current in the first Circuit I₁ = 1.90A
Number of turns in second coil N₂ = 4
Final Current solenoid I₂ = 5.0 A
Time interval to change the time Δt = 0.9 s
a)
According to Ampere's law, magnetic field inside a conductor is calculated as;
B₁ = ц₀N₁I₁ / L
(ц₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ constant)
therefore we substitute
{(4π × 10⁻⁷) × 310 × 1.9A} / 0.18m
= 0.0041 T
b)
Magnetic field inside the solenoid after t = 0.9
B₁ = ц₀N₁I₂ / L
= {(4π × 10⁻⁷) × 310 × 5.0A} / 0.18m
= 0.0108 T
c)
Area of coil is
A = πr²
A = π × ( 0.016 )²
A = 0.000804 m²
d)
Change in magnetic influx is
dФ = (B₂ - B₁) A
= ( 0.0108 T - 0.0041 T) × 0.000804 m²
= 0.0000053868 ≈ 5.39 × 10⁻⁶
e)
Average induced emf is
e = -N₂ ( dФ / dt )
e = ( -4 ) ( 5.39 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.9)
e = - 2.39 × 10⁻⁵V ( NOTE, this is not equal to the instantaneous induced emf )
f)
The induced emf is very low, so the contributions to the magnetic field in the coil is Negative.
A spring of initial length 35 cm acquires a length of 55 cm when we hang from it a mass of 3.5 kg. Calculate:
a) The elastic constant of the spring.
b) The length of the spring when we hang a mass of 5 Kg.
Answer:
the elastic constant of the spring=1.715
the length of the spring=0.28
Explanation:
we know that according to hooks law
F=-k x
F= force
k= elastic constant
x= extension or compression
given
length change from 35cm to 55 cm so delta x = L2-L1= 55-35=20 cm
now to find k we need F and F =ma
M for part a is 3.5 kg
so F=3.5 kg *9.8=34.3
now k=F/x
k=34.3/20=1.715 N/cm=171.5 N/m
now to find length given mass is 5 kg so
F= ma
F=5*9.8=49 N
so x =F/k
x=49/171.5
x=0.28

Astronomers can now report that active star formation was going on at a time when the universe was only 20% as old as it is today. When astronomers make such a statement, how can they know what was happening inside galaxies way back then
Answer:
First, as you may know, the light travels at a given velocity.
In vaccum, this velocity is c = 3x10^8 m/s.
And we know that:
distance = velocity*time
Now, if some object (like a star ) is really far away, the light that comes from that star may take years to reach the Earth.
This means that the images that the astronomers see today, actually happened years and years ago (So the night sky is like a picture of the "past" of the universe)
Also, for example, if an astronomer sees some particular thing, he can apply a model (a "simplification" of some phenomena that is used to simplify it an explain it) and with the model, the scientist can infer the information of the given thing some time before it was seen.
The astronomers could know what was happening inside galaxies way back then by the fact that;
they examine the spectra of galaxies (or the overall colors of galaxies) with the highest redshifts they can find
Astronomers Measure the wavelength of the light that is stretched, so the light is seen as 'shifted' towards the red part of the spectrum by using spectroscopy. This measure is also called redshift.
This invokes a ray of light through a triangular prism that splits the light into various components known as spectrum.
The way the astronomers could use this concept to know what was happening in the galaxies before is by examining the spectra of galaxies that have the highest redshifts.

Answer:
Explanation:
a) From the diagram, the load will be expressed in newton. The load will be the weight of the box on the inclined plane.
Load = mass * acceleration due to gravity.
Given the mass of the object = 100kg
acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Load (in Newton) = 100*9.8
Load (in Newton) = 980N
b) The formula for calculating the velocity ratio of an inclined plane is expressed as VR = 1/sinθ where θ is the angle of inclination.
Given θ = 30°,
VR = 1/sin30°
VR = 1/0.5
VR = 1/(1/2)
VR = 1* 2/1
VR = 2
The velocity ratio is 2.
c) Length of the inclined plane can be calculated using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry identity.
According to SOH, sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
sin30° = 1/2 = opp/hyp
This shows that the opposite side of the triangle is 1 and the hypotenuse is 2. The length if the inclined is the length of the longest side i.e the hypotenuse. Hence the length of the inclined plane is 2m
d) Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the load to the effort applied on an object.
Given the Load = 980N and the effort applied to the load on the incline plane = 400N
MA = Load/Effort
MA = 980/400
MA = 2.45
e) Efficiency = MA/VR * 100
Efficiency = 2.45/2 * 100
Efficiency = 122.5%

A butterfly is flying around and its velocity(v) as a function of time(t) is given in the graph below where rightwards is the positive velocity direction. What is the butterfly's displacement x from t=2 to 4s? Answer with two significant digits.
Answer: 19 meters.
Explanation:
We want to find the total displacement between t = 2s and t = 4s.
To do it, we can integrate our function, first write our velocity equation.
for t ≤ 3s, we have a linear equation, let's write it:
A linear relationship can be written as:
y = a*t + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.
For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:
a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
Now we can see that our line passes through the points (1, 0) and (0, -2)
then the slope is:
a = (0 -(-2)/(1 - 0) = 2/1 = 2
and knowing that when t = 0s, v(0s) = -2m/s, then our equation is:
v(t) = (2m/s^2)*t - 2m/s for t ≤ 3s
now, for t ≥3s the equation is constant, v(t) = 4m/s.
then we have
v(t) = (2m/s^2)*t - 2m/s -------if t ≤ 3s
v(t) = 4m/s ----- if t ≥ 3s
Now we integrate over time to get the position:
for t ≤ 3s we have:
p(t) = (1/2)*(2m/s^2)*t^2 - 2m/s*t + C
where C is a constant of integration, as we are calculating the displacement this constant actually does not matter, so we can use C = 0m
p(t) = (1m/s^2)*t^2 - 2m/s*t for t ≤ 3s
and p(3s) = (1m/s^2)*3s^2 - 2m/s*3s = 9m - 6m = 3m is the initial position of the other part of the function.
for t ≥ 3s we have:
p(t) = 4m/s*t + p(3s) = 4m/s*t + 3m
then the position equation is:
p(t) = (1m/s^2)*t^2 - 2m/s*t ---- t ≤ 3s
p(t) = 4m/s*t + 3m --- if t ≥ 3s
Now the displacement will be:
p(4s) - p(2s) where for each time, you need to use the correct function:
p(4s) = 4m/s*4s + 3m = 16m + 3m = 19m
p(2s) = (1m/s^2)*2s^2 - 2m/s*2s = 4m - 4m = 0m
p(4s) - p(2s) = 19m - 0m = 19m
The butterfly displacement x from t=2 to 4s is 19 meters.
What is displacement?The spacing between two specified points is represented by the one-dimensional quantity of displacement (symbolised as d or s), commonly known as length or distance.
The total displacement between t = 2s and t = 4s.
Integrate our function, the velocity equation.
for t ≤ 3s, we have a linear equation, let's write it:
A linear relationship can be written as:
y = a x t + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.
For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:
a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
The line passes through the points (1, 0) and (0, -2)
The slope is:
a = (0 -(-2)/(1 - 0) = 2/1 = 2
When t = 0s, v(0s) = -2m/s, then our equation is:
v(t) = (2m/s²) x t - 2m/s for t ≤ 3s
now, for t ≥3s the equation is constant, v(t) = 4m/s.
v(t) = (2m/s²) x t - 2m/s -------if t ≤ 3s
v(t) = 4m/s ----- if t ≥ 3s
Now we integrate over time to get the position:
for t ≤ 3s we have:
p(t) = (1/2) x (2m/s²) x t^2 - 2m/s x t + C
where C is a constant of integration, to calculate the displacement this constant actually does not matter,
p(t) = (1m/s²)*t^2 - 2m/s x t for t ≤ 3s
and p(3s) = (1m/s^2) x 3s² - 2m/s x 3s = 9m - 6m = 3m is the initial position of the other part of the function.
for t ≥ 3s we have:
p(t) = 4m/s x t + p(3s) = 4m/s x t + 3m
then the position equation is:
p(t) = (1m/s^2) x t² - 2m/s x t ---- t ≤ 3s
p(t) = 4m/s x t + 3m --- if t ≥ 3s
Now the displacement will be:
p(4s) - p(2s) where for each time, you need to use the correct function:
p(4s) = 4m/s x 4s + 3m = 16m + 3m = 19m
p(2s) = (1m/s²) x 2s²- 2m/s x 2s = 4m - 4m = 0m
p(4s) - p(2s) = 19m - 0m = 19m
Thus, the displacement is 19 m.

A bat is flitting about in a cave, navigating via ultrasonic bleeps. Assume that the sound emission frequency of the bat is 38.9 kHz. During one fast swoop directly toward a flat wall surface, the bat is moving at 0.015 times the speed of sound in air. What frequency does the bat hear reflected off the wall?
Answer:
40085 Hz
Explanation:
We are given; Sound frequency emmision of bat;f = 38.9 kHz = 38900 Hz
Bat is moving at 0.015 times the speed of sound in air.
Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s
The formula for waves reflected off the wall is calculated from Doppler equation as:
f' = f(v + v_d)/(v - v_s)
Where;
f is the frequency = 38900 Hz
f' is the detected frequency,
v_d is the velocity of the detector = 0.015 × 343 = 5.145
v_s is the velocity of the source = 0.015 × 343 = 5.145 m/s
v is the velocity of the sound = 343 m/s
Thus;
f' = 38900(343 + 5.145)/(343 - 5.145)
f' ≈ 40085 Hz
an object weights 0.250 kgf in air 0.150 in water and 0.125 in an oil.find out the density of the object and the oil
Answer:
1) The density of the object = 2500 kg/m³
2) The density of the oil = 1250 kg/m³
Explanation:
1) The information relating to the question are;
The mass of the object in air = 0.250 kgf
The mass of the object in water = 0.150 kgf
The mass of the object in the oil = 0.125 kgf
By Archimedes's principle, we have;
The upthrust on the object in water = Mass in air - mass in water = The weight of the water displaced
The upthrust on the object in water = 0.250 - 0.150 = 0.1 kgf
∴ The weight of the water displaced = 0.1 kgf
Given that the object is completely immersed in the water, we have;
The volume of the water displaced = The volume of the object
The volume of 0.1 kg of water water displaced = Mass of the water/(Density of water)
The volume of 0.1 kg of water = 0.1/1000 = 0.0001 m³
The density of the object = (Mass in air)/ volume = 0.250/0.0001 = 2500 kg/m³
The density of the object = 2500 kg/m³
2) Whereby the mass of the object in the oil = 0.125 kgf
The upthrust of the oil = The weight of the oil displaced
The upthrust of the oil on the object = Mass of the object in air - mass of the object in the oil
The upthrust of the oil on the object = 0.250 - 0.125 = 0.125 kgf
The weight of the oil displaced = The upthrust of the oil
Given that the volume of the oil displaced = The volume of the oil, we have;
The volume of the oil displaced = 0.0001 m³
The mass of the 0.0001 m³ = 0.125 kg
Therefore the density of the oil = 0.125/0.0001 = 1250 kg/m³.
The density of the oil = 1250 kg/m³.
Eli and Andy want to find out which of the two is stronger. Eli pushes a table with a force of 120 newtons while Andy pushes the table from the opposite side with a force of 125 newtons. Ignoring the masses of Eli and Andy, what is the resultant acceleration of the table if its mass is 10.0 kilograms?
Answer:
a = 0.5 m/s²
Explanation:
the type of problem is called a Newtons second law of motion.
and the equation would be the sum of F = m * a where m = mass and a = acceleration
forces are 125N and the opposite direction is 120N
Eli pushes the table with a force of 120N towards Andy
and
Andy pushes the table with a force of 125N towards Eli
mass of table given as 10 kg.
using the equation
120N - 125N = 10kg * a
a = (120-125) / 10
a = -0.5 m/s² so the acceleration is in the direction of Andy's force towards Eli.
therefore a = 0.5 m/s²

A 26-foot ladder is placed against a wall. If the top of the ladder is sliding down the wall at -2 feet per second (note that the rate is negative because the height is decreasing). At what rate is the bottom of the ladder moving away from the wall when the bottom of the ladder is 10 feet away from the wall?
Answer:
Dx/dt = 4,8 f/s
Explanation:
The ladder placed against a wall, and the ground formed a right triangle
with x and h the legs and L the hypothenuse
Then
L² = x² + h² (1)
L = 26 f
Taking differentials on both sides of the equation we get
0 = 2x Dx/dt + 2h Dh/dt (1)
In this equation
x = 10 distance between the bottom of the ladder and the when we need to find, the rate of the ladder moving away from the wall
Dx/dt is the rate we are looking for
h = ? The height of the ladder when x = 10
As L² = x² + h²
h² = L² - x²
h² = (26)² - (10)²
h² = 676 - 100
h² = 576
h = 24 f
Then equation (1)
0 = 2x Dx/dt + 2h Dh/dt
2xDx/dt = - 2h Dh/dt
10 Dx/dt = - 24 ( -2 ) ( Note the movement of the ladder is downwards)
Dx/dt = 48/10
Dx/dt = 4,8 f/s
What did Bohr's model of the atom include that Rutherford's model did not have?
a nucleus
energy levels
electron clouds
smaller particles
Answer:
The correct option is energy levels
Explanation:
Rutherford's model of an atom suggests that an atom has a tiny positively charged central mass (now called the nucleus) which is surrounded by electrons (negatively charged) in a cloud-like manner.
Bohr's model went a bit further than the Rutherford's model in describing an atom by suggesting that the electrons which surrounds in the nucleus travel in fixed circular orbits. This description by Bohr was able to describe the energy levels of orbitals which assumes that smallest orbitals have the lowest energy while the largest orbitals have the highest energy.
Answer:
energy levels

A student is planning an investigation on the properties of different types of matter. What would be the best method to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, such as a rock?
Explanation:
Volume is the amount of space an object takes up, while mass is the amount of matter in an object. ... To find the volume of an irregular sized object, one would use the displacement method for measuring volume and place the object in water and measure the amount of water that is displaced.
Answer:
To measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object, pour some water in a measuring cylinder. Then suspend the irregularly shaped object with a thread. After that , move the object gradually downwards and immerse it in water. The volume of the irregularly shaped object is the difference between the volume of the liquid before and after. After measuring the difference, we come to know about the volume of the irregularly shaped object.
At summer camp, the swimming course runs the length (L) of a small lake. To determine the length of the course, the camp counselors measure the two "dry" legs of a right triangle. What is the length in meters of the swimming course in the figure below?
Answer:
47.17 m
Explanation:
From the diagram of the question attached, The length of the legs are 25 m and 40 m . This legs form a right angle triangle with the length of the swimming course (L).
Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angle triangle with hypotenuse a and legs b and c, then:
a² = b² + c²
In the triangle, the length of the swimming course (L) is the hypotenuse and the two legs are 25 m and 40 m. Using Pythagoras:
L² = 25² + 40²
L² = 625 + 1600
L² = 2225
L = √2225
L = 47.17 m
(b) A cylinder of cross-sectional area 0.65m2 and
height 0.32m has a mass of 2. Ikg. If there is a
cavity inside, find the volume of the cavity.
(Density of cylinder = 11.053 kg/m^3)
Answer:
The volume of the cavity is 0.013m^3
Explanation:
To find the volume of the cavity, the major parameter missing is the diameter of the cavity itself. we can obtain this using the following steps:
Step one:
Obtain the volume of the cylinder by dividing the mass of the cylinder by the density.
Volume of the cylinder = 2.1 / 11.053 =0.19[tex]m^{3}[/tex]
Step two:
From the volume of the cylinder, we can get the radius of the cylinder.
[tex]radius = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi \times h}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.19}{\pi \times 0.32}} =0.44m[/tex]
Step three:
From the cross-sectional area, we can obtain the radius of the cavity.
Let the radius of the cavity be = r, while the radius of the cylinder be = R
CSA of cavity =
[tex]\pi({R^2}-r^2) = CSA\\0.65 = \pi (0.32^2-r^2)\\r= 0.115m[/tex]
Step Four:
calculate the volume of the cavity using volume =[tex]\pi r^2 \times h[/tex]
Recall that the cavity has the same height as the original cylinder
[tex]volume = \pi \times 0.115^2\times 0.32= 0.013m^3[/tex]
A net force of 0.7 N is applied on a body. What happens to the acceleration of the body in a second trial if half of the net force is applied?(1 point) The acceleration is double its original value. The acceleration is half of its original value. The acceleration is the square of its original value. The acceleration remains the same.
Answer:
The answer is The acceleration is double its original value.
Explanation:
It is because of the second trial of accelaration. Because of this, an object's acceleration doubles from its original value.Hope this helps....
Have a nice day!!!!
Answer:
The acceleration is half of its original value
Explanation:
Which value would complete the last cell?
(1 point)
3.0
100.0
25.0
4.0
Answer:
4.0
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Force (F) = 20 N
Mass (m) = 5 kg
Acceleration (a) =.?
Force is simply defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Mathematically, it is expressed as
Force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a)
F = ma
With the above formula, we can obtain th acceleration of the body as follow:
Force (F) = 20 N
Mass (m) = 5 kg
Acceleration (a) =.?
F = ma
20 = 5 x a
Divide both side by 5
a = 20/5
a = 4 m/s²
Therefore, the value that will complete the last cell in the question above is 4.
In a Young's double-slit experiment, a set of parallel slits with a separation of 0.102 mm is illuminated by light having a wavelength of 575 nm and the interference pattern observed on a screen 3.50 m from the slits.(a) What is the difference in path lengths from the two slits to the location of a second order bright fringe on the screen?(b) What is the difference in path lengths from the two slits to the location of the second dark fringe on the screen, away from the center of the pattern?
Answer:
Rounded to three significant figures:
(a) [tex]2 \times 575\; \rm nm = 1150\; \rm nm = 1.15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm m[/tex].
(b) [tex]\displaystyle \left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right) \times (575\;\rm nm) \approx 863\; \rm nm = 8.63\times 10^{-7}\; \rm m[/tex].
Explanation:
Consider a double-slit experiment where a wide beam of monochromatic light arrives at a filter with a double slit. On the other side of the filter, the two slits will appear like two point light sources that are in phase with each other. For each point on the screen, "path" refers to the length of the segment joining that point and each of the two slits. "Path difference" will thus refer to the difference between these two lengths.
Let [tex]k[/tex] denote a natural number ([tex]k \in \left\lbrace0,\, 1,\, 2,\, \dots\right\rbrace[/tex].) In a double-split experiment of a monochromatic light:
A maximum (a bright fringe) is produced when light from the two slits arrive while they were in-phase. That happens when the path difference is an integer multiple of wavelength. That is: [tex]\text{Path difference} = k\, \lambda[/tex].Similarly, a minimum (a dark fringe) is produced when light from the two slits arrive out of phase by exactly one-half of the cycle. For example, The first wave would be at peak while the second would be at a crest when they arrive at the screen. That happens when the path difference is an integer multiple of wavelength plus one-half of the wavelength: [tex]\displaystyle \text{Path difference} = \left(k + \frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \lambda[/tex].MaximaThe path difference is at a minimum (zero) at the center of the screen between the two slits. That's the position of the first maximum- the central maximum, a bright fringe where [tex]k = 0[/tex] in [tex]\text{Path difference} = 0[/tex].
The path difference increases while moving on the screen away from the center. The first order maximum is at [tex]k = 1[/tex] where [tex]\text{Path difference} = \lambda[/tex].
Similarly, the second order maximum is at [tex]k = 2[/tex] where [tex]\text{Path difference} = 2\, \lambda[/tex]. For the light in this question, at the second order maximum: [tex]\text{Path difference} = 2\, \lambda = 2 \times 575\; \rm nm = 1.15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm m[/tex].
Central maximum: [tex]k = 0[/tex], such that [tex]\text{Path difference} = 0[/tex].First maximum: [tex]k = 1[/tex], such that [tex]\text{Path difference} = \lambda[/tex].Second maximum: [tex]k = 2[/tex], such that [tex]\text{Path difference} = 2\, \lambda[/tex].MinimaThe dark fringe closest to the center of the screen is the first minimum. [tex]\displaystyle \text{Path difference} = \left(0 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \lambda = \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda[/tex] at that point.
Add one wavelength to that path difference gives another dark fringe- the second minimum. [tex]\displaystyle \text{Path difference} = \left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \lambda[/tex] at that point.
First minimum: [tex]k =0[/tex], such that [tex]\displaystyle \text{Path difference} = \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda[/tex].Second minimum: [tex]k =1[/tex], such that [tex]\displaystyle \text{Path difference} = \left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \lambda[/tex].For the light in this question, at the second order minimum: [tex]\displaystyle \text{Path difference} = \left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \lambda = \left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\times (575\; \rm nm) \approx 8.63\times 10^{-7}\; \rm m[/tex].
