6. The two ends of an iron rod are maintained at different temperatures. The amount of heat thatflows through the rod by conduction during a given time interval does notdepend uponA) the length of the iron rod.B) the thermal conductivity of iron.C) the temperature difference between the ends of the rod.D) the mass of the iron rod.E) the duration of the time interval.Ans: DDifficulty: MediumSectionDef: Section 13-27. The ends of a cylindrical steel rod are maintained at two different temperatures. The rod conducts heat from one end to the other at a rate of 10 cal/s. At what rate would a steel rod twiceas long and twice the diameter conduct heat between the same two temperatures
Answer:
20cal/s
Explanation:
Question:
There are two questions. The first one has been answered:
From the formular, Power = Q/t = (kA∆T)/l
the amount heat depends on the duration of time interval, length of the iron rod, the thermal conductivity of iron and the temperature difference between the ends of the rod.
The amount of heat that flows through the rod by conduction during a given time interval does not depend upon the mass of the iron rod (D).
Second question:
The ends of a cylindrical steel rod are maintained at two different temperatures. The rod conducts heat from one end to the other at a rate of 10 cal/s. At what rate would a steel rod twice as long and twice the diameter conduct heat between the same two temperatures?
Solution:
Power = 10cal/s
Power = energy per unit time = Q/t
Where Q = energy
Power = (kA∆T)/l
k = thermal conductivity of iron
A = area
Area = πr^2
r = radius
Diameter = d = 2r
r = d/2
Area = (πd^2)/4
Length = l
∆T = change in temperature
10 = (kA∆T)/l
For a steel rod with length doubled and diameter doubled:
Let Length (L) = 2l
Diameter (D)= 2d
Area = π [(2d)^2]/4 = (π4d^2)/4
Area = 4(πd^2)/4
Using the formula Power = (kA∆T)/l, insert the new values for A and l
Power = [k × 4(πd^2)/4 × ∆T]/2l
Power = [4k((πd^2)/4) ∆T]/2l
Power = [(4/2)×k((πd^2)/4) ∆T]/l
Power = [2k(A) ×∆T]/l = 2(kA∆T)/l
Power of a steel that has its length doubled and diameter doubled = 2(kA∆T)/l
Recall initial Power = (kA∆T)/l = 10cal/s
And ∆T is the same
2[(kA∆T)/l] = 2 × 10
Power of a steel that has its length doubled and diameter doubled = 20cal/s
A 0.009 kg bullet fired through a door enters at 803 m/s and leaves at 617 m/s. If the door material is known to exert an average resistive force of 5620 N on bullets of this type at usual speeds, find the thickness of the door.
Answer:
The thickness of the door is 0.4230 m
Explanation:
Given;
mass of bullet, m = 0.009 kg
initial velocity of the bullet, u = 803 m/s
final velocity of the bullet, v = 617 m/s
average resistive force of the door on the bullet, F = 5620 N
Apply Newton's second law of motion;
Force exerted by the door on the bullet = Force of the moving bullet
F = ma
where;
F is applied force
m is mass
a is acceleration
Also, Force exerted by the door on the bullet = Force of the moving bullet
[tex]F =ma, \ But \ a =\frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{u-v}{t} \\\\F = \frac{m(u-v)}{t}[/tex]
where;
v is the final velocity of the bullet
u is initial velocity of the bullet
t is time
We need to calculate the time spent by the bullet before it passes through the door.
[tex]t = \frac{m(u-v)}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.009(803-617)}{5620} = 0.0002979 \ s[/tex]
Distance traveled by the bullet within this time period = thickness of the door
This distance is equivalent to the product of average velocity and time
[tex]S = (\frac{u+v}{2}) t[/tex]
where;
s is the distance traveled
[tex]S = (\frac{u+v}{2}) t\\\\S = (\frac{803+617}{2}) 0.0002979\\\\S = 0.4230 \ m[/tex]
Therefore, the thickness of the door is 0.4230 m
Which term BEST describes the movement of air from the ocean toward the land in the daytime? (AKS 4b DOK 1) *
1 point
Sea breeze
Land Breeze
Valley Breeze
Current Breeze
Answer:
Option A, Sea Breeze
Explanation:
Ssea breeze is a wind that blows from the ocean or any water body to the nearby land mass. This breeze is cold as compared to the air on land. The water in water bodies has high specific heat capacity and hence takes longer time to cool as compared to the surrounding objects. The warmer air over the land rises upward thereby reducing the pressure on land and hence the sea breeze starts flowing from region of high pressure (i.e above the water body) towards the low pressure region that is the land.
Hence, option A is correct

A Texas cockroach of mass 0.157 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical axle) that has a radius 14.9 cm, rotational inertia 5.92 x 10-3 kg·m2, and frictionless bearings. The cockroach's speed (relative to the ground) is 2.92 m/s, and the lazy Susan turns clockwise with angular velocity ω0 = 3.89 rad/s. The cockroach finds a bread crumb on the rim and, of course, stops. (a) What is the angular speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops? (b) Is mechanical energy conserved as it stops?
Answer:
-7.23 rad/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg
Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m
Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²
Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s
Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s
The initial angular momentum of rim is
Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89
Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s
The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is
L = -mvr
L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149
L = -0.068 kgm²/s
This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together
2.3*10^-2 + -0.068
L' = -0.045 kgm²/s
After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is
I(f) = I + mr²
I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²
I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3
I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²
Final angular momentum of the disk is
L'' = I(f).w(f)
L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)
Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have
-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0
w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3
w(f) = -7.23 rad/s
Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed
b)
The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops

Consider a circular vertical loop-the-loop on a roller coaster. A car coasts without power around the loop. Determine the difference between the normal force exerted by the car on a passenger with a mass of mm at the top of the loop and the normal force exerted by the car on her at the bottom of the loop. Express your answer in terms of mmm and the acceleration due to gravity ggg.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let v₁ and v₂ be velocities at lowest and topmost position . Let r be the radius of the circle .
Let N₁ and N₂ be the normal reaction force .
At the top position
centripetal force = N₂ + mg ; so
N₂ + mg = m v₂² / r
At the bottom position
centripetal force = N₁ - mg ; so
N₁ - mg = m v₁² / r
subtracting these two equations
N₁ - mg - N₂ - mg = m v₁² / r - m v₂² / r
N₁ - N₂ - 2mg = 1/r (m v₁² - m v₂² )
N₁ - N₂ - 2mg = 1/r x mg x 2r ( loss of potential energy = gain of kinetic energy )
N₁ - N₂ = 2mg + 2mg
= 4 mg .

The center of mass of the two block system is moving with a velocity of ____ m/s. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Assume Block A is moving in the positive direction.
Answer:
The center of mass move with the velocity of -3.487 m/s.
Explanation:
Given values of block A.
Mass of block A, (M1) = 4 kg
Speed of block A, (V1) = 2 m/s
Given values of block B.
Mass of block B, (M2) = 8.4 kg
Speed of block B, (V2) = -6.1 m/s
Below is the formula to find the velocity of center of mass.

If Jim could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 440 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long (in millions of years, in 106 years) would he take to drive to a nearby star that is 12.0 light-years away? Use 9.461 × 1012 km/light-year and 8766 hours per year (365.25 days).
Answer:
t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years
Explanation:
The equation used in the case of constant speed is:
s = vt
t = s/v
where,
s = distance = 12 light years
s = (12 light years)(9.461 x 10¹² km/light year) = 113.532 x 10¹² km
v = speed = 440 km/hr
t = time passed = ?
Therefore,
t = (113.532 x 10¹² km)/(440 km/hr)
t = 2.58 x 10¹¹ hr
Now, converting it to years:
t = (2.58 x 10¹¹ hr)(1 year/8766 hr)
t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years

A long solid conducting cylinder with radius a = 12 cm carries current I1 = 5 A going into the page. This current is distributed uniformly over the cross section of the cylinder. A cylindrical shell with radius b = 21 cm is concentric with the solid cylinder and carries a current I2 = 3 A coming out of the page. 1)Calculate the y component of the magnetic field By at point P, which lies on the x axis a distance r = 41 cm from the center of the cylinders.
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall use Ampere's circuital law to find magnetic field at required point.
The point is outside the circumference of two given wires so whole current will be accounted for .
Ampere's circuital law
B = ∫ Bdl = μ₀ I
line integral will be over circular path of radius r = 41 cm .
Total current I = 5A -3A = 2A .
∫ Bdl = μ₀ I
2π r B = μ₀ I
2π x .41 B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 2
B = 2 x 10⁻⁷ x 2 / .41
= 9.75 x 10⁻⁷ T . It will be along - ve Y - direction.
What must x be so that the handle end of the bat remains at rest as the bat begins to move? (Hint: Consider the motion of the center of mass and the rotation about the center of mass. Find x so that these two motions combine to give v=0 for the end of the bat just after the collision. Also, note that integration of equation ∑τ⃗ =dL⃗ dt gives ΔL=∫t1t2(∑τ)dt. )
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the bat is [tex]m_b = 0.800 \ kg[/tex]
The bat length is [tex]L_b = 0.900 \ m[/tex]
The distance of the bat's center of mass to the handle end is [tex]z_c = 0.600 \ m[/tex]
The moment of inertia of the bat is [tex]I = 0.0530 \ kg \cdot m^2[/tex]
The objective of the solution is to find x which is the distance from the handle of the bat to the point where the baseball hit the bat
Generally the velocity change at the end of the bat is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta v_e = \Delta v_c - \Delta w* z_c[/tex]
Where [tex]\Delta v_c[/tex] is the velocity change at the center of the bat which is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta v_c = \frac{Impulse}{m_b }[/tex]
We are told that the impulse is J so
[tex]\Delta v_c = \frac{J}{m_b }[/tex]
And [tex]\Delta w[/tex] is the change in angular velocity which is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta w = \frac{J (z -z_c)}{I}[/tex]
Now we have that
[tex]\Delta v_e = \frac{J}{m_b } - [\frac{J (x- z_c)}{I} ] * z_c[/tex]
Before a swing when the bat is at rest the velocity change a the end of the bat handle is zero and the impulse will be 1
So
[tex]0 = \frac{1}{m_b } - [\frac{J (x- z_c)}{I} ] * z_c[/tex]
=> [tex]x = \frac{I}{m_b z_c} + m_b[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]x = \frac{0.530}{0.800 * 0.600} + 0.600[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.710 \ m[/tex]
The shaft of a motor has an angular displacement θ that is a function of time given by the equation: θ(t) = 4.40 t 3 rad/s3 + 1.40 t2 rad/s2 . At time t = 0.00 s the wheel is at rest and is oriented at θ = 0.00 rad. a) Derive the equation that specifies the angular velocity of the shaft as a function of time. b) Derive the equation that specifies the angular acceleration as a function of time.
Answer:
a) [tex]\omega = 13.2t^2\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80t\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]
b) [tex]\alpha=26.4t\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
You have that the angular displacement is given by:
[tex]\theta=4.40t^3\frac{rad}{s^3}+1.40t^2\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]
a) the angular velocity is given by the derivative in time, of the angular displacement, that is:
[tex]\omega=\frac{d\theta}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[4.40 t^3 rad/s^3 + 1.40 t^2 rad/s^2]\\\\\omega=\frac{d\theta}{dt}=13.2t^2\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80t\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]
b) the angular acceleration is the derivative, in time, of the angular velocity:
[tex]\alpha=\frac{d\omega}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[13.2t^2\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80t\frac{rad}{s^2}]\\\\\alpha=26.4t\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]

A. A PH202 student lives next to a construction site and sees a crane with a wrecking ball demolish the building next door. The wrecking ball swings along the wall between her house and the neighbor’s house. In an effort to determine the length of the cable on the wrecking ball the student builds a pendulum using a random rock and a string. Her pendulum turns out to be 0.500m long. While she plays with her pendulum she realizes that the wrecking ball swings back and forth in the same amount of time that it takes the rock to complete 5 full oscillations. What is the length of the cable on the wrecking ball?
Answer:
The length of cable is 12.5 m
Explanation:
Since, the wrecking ball completes 1 oscillation, in the same time, as it takes for the rock to complete 5 oscillations.
Therefore,
Time Period of Wrecking Ball = 5 (Time Period of Rock)
Since,
Time Period of Pendulum = 2π√(L/g)
Therefore,
2π√(L₁/g) = 5[2π√(L₂/g)]
√L₁ = 5√L₂
Squaring on both sides:
L₁ = 25 L₂
where,
L₁ = Length of Cable = ?
L₂ = Length of string = 0.5 m
Therefore,
L₁ = 25 (0.5 m)
L₁ = 12.5 m

A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. Long after contact is made with the battery (a) the voltage across the capacitor is A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage. B) less than the battery's terminal voltage, but greater than zero. C) zero. (b) the voltage across the resistor is A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage. B) less than the battery's terminal voltage, but greater than zero. C) zero.
Answer:
A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage.
Explanation:
When the capacitor is fully charged after long hours of charging , its potential becomes equal to the emf of the battery and its polarity is opposite to that of battery . Hence net emf becomes equal . The capacitor itself becomes a battery which is connected in the circuit with opposite polarity . This results in the net emf and current becoming zero . There is no charging current when the capacitor is fully charged .
8. At temperature 15°C, aluminum rivets have a diameter of 0.501 cm, and holes drilled in a titanium sheet have a diameter of 0.500 cm. If both the aluminum rivets and the titanium sheet are cooled together, at what temperature will the rivets just fit into the appropriate holes in the titanium sheet? Use 25x10-6 (°C)-1 for the coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum, and 8.5x10-6 (°C)-1 for titanium
Answer:
The temperature is [tex]T = -106 ^oC[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The temperature is [tex]T_1 = T_t= T_a=15^oC[/tex]
The diameter is [tex]d_1 = 0.5001 cm[/tex]
The diameter of the hole [tex]d_2 = 0.500 \ cm[/tex]
The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is [tex]\alpha _1 = 25 *10^{-6} \ ^oC^{-1}[/tex]
The coefficient of linear expansion for titanium is [tex]\alpha _2 = 8.5 *10^{-6} \ ^o C^{-1}[/tex]
According to the law of linear expansion
[tex]d = d_o (1 + \alpha \Delta T )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_o[/tex] represents the original diameter
So for aluminum
[tex]d_a = d_1 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_a) )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_a[/tex] is the new diameter of aluminum
[tex]T_a[/tex] is the new temperature of the aluminum
So for titanium
[tex]d_t = d_2 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_t) )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_t[/tex] is the new diameter of titanium
[tex]T_t[/tex] is the new temperature of the aluminum
So for the aluminum rivets to fit into the holes
[tex]d_a = d_t[/tex]
=> [tex]d_1 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_a) ) = d_2 (1 + \alpha_2 (T- T_t) )[/tex]
Making T the subject of the formula
[tex]T = \frac{(d_1 - d_2 ) + (d_2 *\alpha_2 T_t) - d_1 \alpha_1 * T_a }{d_2 \alpha_2 - d_1 \alpha_1 }[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]T = \frac{(0.501 - 0.500 ) + (0.500 *(8.5*10^{-6}) * 15) - 0.500* (25*10^{-6}) * 15 }{0.500 * (8.5 *10^{-6}) - 0.501 * (25 *10^{-6}) }[/tex]
[tex]T = -106 ^oC[/tex]

3.0 s. What is the angular acceleration?
or
Answer:
The angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].
Explanation:
Initial angular speed of a CD player is 0 and final angular speed is 41.8 rad/s. Time to change the angular speed is 3 s.
It is required to find the angular acceleration. The change in angular speed of the CD player divided by time taken is called its angular acceleration. It can be given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{41.8-0}{3}\\\\a=13.94\ rad/s^2[/tex]
So, the angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].

efficiency = (543 - 323) / 543
= .405
heat input = 50 KJ
efficiency = output work / input heat energy
.405 = output work / 50
output work = 20.25 KJ.
= 20 KJ .
