A 3200-lb car is moving at 64 ft/s down a 30-degree grade when it runs out of fuel. Find its velocity after that if friction exerts a resistive force with magnitude proportional to the square of the speed with k

Answers

Answer:

The velocity is 40 ft/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 3200 lb

Angle = 30°

Speed = 64 ft/s

The resistive force with magnitude proportional to the square of the speed,

[tex]F_{r}=kv^2[/tex]

Where, k = 1 lb s²/ft²

We need to calculate the velocity

Using balance equation

[tex]F\sin\theta-F_{r}=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]3200\sin 30-kv^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}[/tex]

Put the value of k

[tex]3200\times\dfrac{1}{2}-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}[/tex]

[tex]1600-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}[/tex]

At terminal velocity [tex]\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}=0[/tex]

So, [tex]1600-v^2=0[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{1600}[/tex]

[tex]v=40\ ft/sec[/tex]

Hence, The velocity is 40 ft/sec.

A satellite of mass m circles a planet of mass M and radius R in an orbit at a height 2R above the surface of the planet. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to one for which the height of the satellite is 3R above the surface of the planet

Answers

Answer:

ΔE = GMm/24R

Explanation:

centripetal acceleration a = V^2 / R = 2T/mr

T= kinetic energy

m= mass of satellite, r= radius of earth

= gravitational acceleration = GM / r^2

Now, solving for the kinetic energy:

T = GMm / 2r = -1/2 U,

where U is the potential energy

So the total energy is:

E = T+U = -GMm / 2r

Now we want to find the energy difference as r goes from one orbital radius to another:

ΔE = GMm/2 (1/R_1 - 1/R_2)

So in this case, R_1 is 3R (planet's radius + orbital altitude) and R_2 is 4R

ΔE = GMm/2R (1/3 - 1/4)

ΔE = GMm/24R

Unpolarized light is passed through three successive Polaroid filters, each with its transmission axis at 45.0° to the preceding filter. What percentage of light gets through?

Answers

Answer:

The percentage is  [tex]k = 12.5 \%[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  axis is is  at  [tex]\theta = 45 ^o[/tex]

Generally the of intensity light emerging from the first polarizer is mathematically represented as

                [tex]I_{1} = \frac{I_o}{ 2}[/tex]

Where  [tex]I_o[/tex] is the intensity of unpolarized light

       Now the light emerging from the second polarizer is mathematically represented as

         [tex]I_2 = I_ 1 * cos ^2(\theta )[/tex]

         [tex]I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} * cos ^2(45 )[/tex]

        [tex]I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{I_o}{4}[/tex]

  Now the light emerging from the third  polarizer is mathematically represented as      

       [tex]I_3 = I_ 2 * cos ^2(\theta )[/tex]

       [tex]I_3 = \frac{I_o}{4} * cos ^2(45 )[/tex]

      [tex]I_3 = \frac{I_o}{8}[/tex]

Now the percentage of the intensity of light that emerged with respect to the intensity of  the unpolarized light is

      [tex]k = \frac{\frac{I_o}{8} }{I_o } * 100[/tex]

     [tex]k = 12.5 \%[/tex]

       

The percentage of light that gets through the three successive Polaroid filters is; 12.5%

We are given;

Angle of transmission axis; θ = 45°

Formula for intensity of light from first polarizer is;

I₁ = ¹/₂I₀

Formula for intensity of light from second polarizer is;

I₂ = I₁cos²θ

Formula for intensity of light from third polarizer is;

I₃ = I₂cos²(90 - θ)

Combining the 3 equations;

Put ¹/₂I₀ for I₁ in second formula to get;

I₂ = ¹/₂I₀cos²θ

Put ¹/₂I₀cos²θ for I₂ in third formula to get;

I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²θ*cos²(90 - θ)

Plugging in 45° for θ gives;

I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²45*cos²(90 - 45)

⇒ I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²45*cos²45

⇒ I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos⁴45

Now, cos 45 in surd form is 1/√2. Thus;

I₃ = ¹/₂I₀(1/√2)⁴

I₃ = ¹/₂I₀(¹/₄)

I₃ = ¹/₈I₀

I₃/I₀ = ¹/₈

I₃/I₀ = 0.125

In percentage form, we have;

I₃/I₀ = 12.5%

"If a beam of monochromatic light is passed though a slit of width 15 μm and the second order dark fringe of the diffraction pattern is at an angle of 5.2o from the central axis, what is the wavelength of the light?"

Answers

Answer:

  λ= 5.4379 10⁻⁷ m = 543.79 nm

Explanation:

The phenomenon of diffraction is described by the expression for destructive diffraction is

           a sin θ = (m + 1/2) λ

           λ = a sin θ / (m + 1/2)

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

           a = 15 um = 15 10⁻⁶ m

           m = 2

           θ = 5.2º

Let's calculate

          λ = 15 10⁻⁶ sin 5.2 / (2 +1/2)

         λ = 5.4379 10⁻⁷ m

Let's reduce to nm

          λ= 5.4379 10⁻⁷ m = 543.79 nm

It's nighttime, and you've dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 1.2 m above the edge of the pool, you can illuminate the goggles if the laser beam enters the water 2.0 m from the edge.
How far are the goggles from the edge of the pool?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Laser angle with water surface is given by: Tan α = 1/2.0= 0.5/

α = 26.56°

Laser angle with Normal = 90 - 26.56 = 63.44 °

Assuming a red laser, refractive index in water is 1.331.

Angle of refraction in water is given by:

Ref Ind = Sin i / Sin r

1.331 = Sin 63.44 / Sin r

Sin r = 0.8945 / 1.331 = 0.6721

Angle r = 42.22°

For the path in water:

Tan 42.22 = x / 3.2

x = 2.9m where x is the lateral displacement of the laser ince it hits the water

So the goggles are 2.0 + 2.9 = 4.9 m from edge of pool

A fisherman in a stream 39 cm deep looks downward into the water and sees a rock on the stream bed. How deep does the stream appear to the fisherman

Answers

Answer:

30cm

Explanation:

assume that the eyes are substantially above the water so that sin(theta) is approximately theta.

( small angle approximation).

The point at which a ray leaving the fish hits the surface of the water is x to the side of the centreline and the depth of the water is d

x/d = sin( angle of incidence)

if the apparent depth of the water is h then

x/h = sin( angle of refraction)

and applying snells law

1 sin ( theta air) = 1.33 sin( theta water)

1 * x/h = 1.33 * x/d

d/h = 1.33

or h/d = 1/1.33

h/39 = 1.33

h = 39 /1.33 so that is the apparent depth of the stream assuming:-

1. Your eyes are almost directly overhead

and

2. your eyes are a significant distance above the surface of the water.

x/d = 1.33 x/h

h/d =39/1.3

Three capacitors C1 = 10.7 µF, C2 = 23.0 µF, and C3 = 29.3 µF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.

Answers

Answer:

E = 1336.71875 J

Explanation:

We are given;. Capacitance of Capacitor 1; C1 = 10.7 µF

Capacitor 2; C2 = 23.0 µF

Capacitor 3; C3 = 29.3 µF

Supply voltage;V = 125 V

Formula for capacitance in series is;

Capacitors in series circuit: C(eq) = 1/C(1) +1/C(2) +1/C(3) .......

Thus, equivalent capacitance is;

C(eq) = (1/10.7) + (1/23) + (1/29.3) = 0.1711 µF = 0.1711 × 10^(6) F

Now, the formula for maximum energy stored is;

E = ½ × C(eq) × V²

E = ½ × 0.1711 × 10^(-6) × 125²

E = 1336.71875 J

a. 0.31 m/s^2

b. 0.27 m/s^2

c. 0.35 m/s^2

d. 0.39 m/s^2

e. 0.45 m/s^2

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of the total linear acceleration is 0.27 m/s²

b. 0.27 m/s²

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration is the vector sum of the tangential acceleration and radial acceleration.

The radial acceleration is given by;

[tex]a_t = ar[/tex]

where;

a is the angular acceleration and

r is the radius of the circular path

[tex]a_t = ar\\\\a_t = 1.6 *0.13\\\\a_t = 0.208 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Determine time of the rotation;

[tex]\theta = \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\0.4 = \frac{1}{2} (1.6)t^2\\\\t^2 = 0.5\\\\t = \sqrt{0.5} \\\\t = 0.707 \ s\\\\[/tex]

Determine angular velocity

ω = at

ω = 1.6 x 0.707

ω = 1.131 rad/s

Now, determine the radial acceleration

[tex]a_r = \omega ^2r\\\\a_r = 1.131^2 (0.13)\\\\a_r = 0.166 \ m/s^2[/tex]

The magnitude of total linear acceleration is given by;

[tex]a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_r^2} \\\\a = \sqrt{0.208^2 + 0.166^2} \\\\a = 0.266 \ m/s^2\\\\a = 0.27 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Therefore, the magnitude of the total linear acceleration is 0.27 m/s²

b. 0.27 m/s²

Answers

Answer:

The new volume will be 0.918 x 10^5 L

Explanation:

initial volume  [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 1.21 x 10^5 L

Initial temperature [tex]T_{1}[/tex] = 265 K

Final volume [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = ?

Final temperature [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 201 K

Th gas is an ideal gas.

For ideal gases, the equation [tex]V_{1}[/tex]/[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = [tex]V_{2}[/tex]/[tex]T_{2}[/tex] = constant

substituting value, we have

(1.21 x 10^5)/265 = [tex]V_{2}[/tex]/201

[tex]V_{2}[/tex] =  24321000/265 = 91777.4 L

Warm blooded animals are homeothermic; that is, they maintain an approximately constant body temperature. (Forhumans it's about 37 oC.) When they are in an environment that is below their optimum temperature, they use energy derived from chemical reactions within their bodies to warm them up. One of the ways that animals lose energy to their environment is through radiation. Every object emits electromagnetic radiation that depends on its temperature. For very hot objects like the sun, that radiation is visible light. For cooler objects, like a house or a person, that radiation is in the infrared and is invisible. Nonetheless, it still carries energy. Other ways that energy is lost by a warm animal to a cool environment includes conduction (direct touching of a cooler object) and convection (cooler air moving and carrying thermal energy away). See Heat Transfer for a discussion of all three.

For this problem, we'll just consider how much energy an animal needs to burn (obtain from internal chemical reactions) in order to stay warm just from radiation losses. The rate at which an object loses energy through radiation is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann equation:

Rate of energy loss = AεσT4



where T is the absolute (Kelvin) temperature, A is the area of the object, ε is the emissivity (unitless and =1 for a perfect emitter, less for anything else), and σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant:

σ = 5.67 x 10-8 J/(s m2 K4)



Consider a patient trying to sleep naked in a cool room (55 oF = 13 oC). Assume that the person being considered is a perfect emitter and absorber of radiation (ε = 1), has a surface area of about 2.5 m2, and a mass of 80 kg.

a. A person emits thermal radiation at a rate corresponding to a temperature of 37 oC and absorbs radiation at a rate (from the air and walls) corresponding to a temperature of 13 oC. Calculate the individual's net rate of energy loss due to radiation (in Watts = Joules/second).
net rate of energy loss = Watts

b. Assume the patient produces no energy to keep warm. If they have a specific heat about equal to that of water (1 Cal/kg-oC) how much would their temperature fall in one hour? (1 Cal = 1kcal = 103 cal)
ΔT = oC

c. Given that the energy density of fat is about 9 Cal/g, how many grams of fat would the person have to utilize to maintain their body temperature in that environment for one hour?
amount of fat needed = g

Answers

Answer:

a) 360.7 J/s

b) 16.23 °C

c) 34.48 g

Explanation:

The mass of the person = 80 kg

The person is a perfect emitter, ε = 1

surface area of the person = 2.5 m^2

a) If he emits radiation at 37 °C, [tex]T_{out}[/tex] = 37 + 273 = 310 K

and receives radiation at 13 °C, [tex]T_{in}[/tex] = 13 + 273 = 286 K

Rate of energy loss E = Aεσ([tex]T^{4} _{out}[/tex] - [tex]T^{4} _{in}[/tex] )

where σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 J/(s m^2 K^4)

substituting values, we have

E = 2.5 x 1 x 5.67 x 10^-8 x ([tex]310^{4}[/tex] - [tex]286^{4}[/tex]) = 360.7 J/s

b) If they have specific heat about equal to that of water = 1 Cal/kg-°C

but 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 10^3 cal

specific heat of person is therefore = 10^3 cal/kg-°C

heat loss = 360.7 J/s = 360.7 x 3600 = 1298520 J/hr

heat lost in 1 hour = 1 x 1298520 = 1298520 J

This heat lost = mcΔT

where ΔT is the temperature fall

m is the mass

c is the specific heat equivalent to that of water

the specific heat is then = 10^3 cal/kg-°C

equating, we have

1298520 = 80 x 10^3 x ΔT

1298520 = 80000ΔT

ΔT = 1298520/80000 = 16.23 °C

c) 1298520 J = 1298520/4184 = 310.35 Cal

density of fat = 9 Cal/g

gram of fat = 310.35/9 = 34.48 g

Answer:

a)   I = I₀/2, b)  I = I₀/2 cos² θ

Explanation:

To answer these questions, let's analyze a little the way of working of a polarized

* When a non-polarized light hits a polarizer, the electric field that is not in the direction of the polarizer is absorbed, so the transmitted light is

          i = I₀ / 2

and is polarized in the direction of the polarizer

* when a polarized light reaches the analyzer it must comply with Malus's law

          I = I₁ cos² θ

where the angle is between the polarized light and the analyzer.

With this, let's answer the questions

a) When a polarizer is placed in the non-polarized light path, half of it is absorbed and only the light that has polarization in the direction of the polarizer is transmitted with an intensity of

                  I = I₀/2

b) when a polarizer and an analyzer are fitted, the intensity of the light transmitted by the analyzer is

                I = I₀/2 cos² θ

where the final value depends on the angle between the polarizer and the analyzer.

Let's look at two extreme cases

θ = 0          I = Io / 2

θ = 90º      I = 0

A father and his son want to play on a seesaw. Where on the seesaw should each of them sit to balance the torque?

Answers

Answer:

A The father should sit closer to the pivot.

C The longer wrench makes the job easier because less force is needed when there is more distance from the pivot.

A As far from the head of the hammer as possible because this will maximize torque.

D at the opposite side of the seesaw towards the middle

:) gl

Explanation:

If a father and his son want to play on a seesaw then to balance the torque of the seesaw the father should sit near the pivot as he had more weight as compared to his son, while the son should sit a little farther from the pivot point as compared to his father.

What is the mechanical advantage?

Mechanical advantage is defined as a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, It is used to analyze the forces in simple machines like levers and pulleys.

Mechanical advantage = output force(load) /input force (effort)

As given in the problem statement If a father and his son wish to play on a seesaw,

The father should sit close to the pivot because he weighs more than his son, and the son should sit a little farther away from the pivot point than his father. This will help balance the torque of the seesaw.

Thus, the father should sit near the pivot on the one side and the son should sit a little farther from the pivot of a seesaw on the other side.

c is the speed of light in vacuum = 3 x 10^8 m/s

f is the frequency of the wave = 495 MHz = 4.95 x 10^8 Hz

λ is the wavelength = ?

λ = c/f = (3 x 10^8)/(4.95 x 10^8) = 0.61 m

answer to your question is 0.6m

A laser used for many applications of hard surface dental work emits 2780-nm wavelength pulses of variable energy (0-300 mJ) about 20 times per second.part a. Determine the number of photons in one 80-mJ pulse.part b. Determine the average power of photons in one 80-mJ pulse during 1 s.

Answers

Answer:

a

    [tex]n = 1.119 *10^{18} \ photons[/tex]

b

  [tex]P = 1.6 \ W[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 2780 nm = 2780 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

     The  energy  is  [tex]E = 80 mJ = 80 *10^{-3} \ J[/tex]

This energy is mathematically represented as

     [tex]E = \frac{n * h * c }{\lambda }[/tex]

Where  c is the speed of light with a value  [tex]c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]

             h is the Planck's  constant with the value  [tex]h = 6.626 *10^{-34} \ J \cdot s[/tex]

             n is the number of pulses

So

      [tex]n = \frac{E * \lambda }{h * c }[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]n = \frac{80 *10^{-3} * 2780 *10^{-9}}{6.626 *10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }[/tex]

       [tex]n = 1.119 *10^{18} \ photons[/tex]

Given that the pulses where emitted 20 times in one second then the period of the pulse is

       [tex]T = \frac{1}{20}[/tex]

      [tex]T = 0.05 \ s[/tex]

Hence the average power of photons in one 80-mJ pulse during 1 s is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P = \frac{E}{T}[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]P = \frac{ 80 *10^{-3}}{0.05}[/tex]

        [tex]P = 1.6 \ W[/tex]

A spring is hung from the ceiling. When a block is attached to its end, it stretches 2.5 cm before reaching its new equilibrium length. The block is then pulled down slightly and released. What is the frequency of oscillation?

Answers

Answer:

0.99Hz

Explanation:

Using F= -mx ( spring force)

At equilibrium the gravitational force will be balanced by the spring force so mg= kx

K= mg/ 0.25 N/m

But

Frequency f= 1/2pi √g/0.25

Frequency is 0.99Hz

The block is pulled down slightly and released so, Frequency of oscillation is 3.15 Hz

Frequency of oscillation based problem:

What information do we have?

Length starched = 2.5 cm

F = Kx

We know that

F = mg

So,

mg = Kx

K/m = g/x

[tex]f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{x} }\\f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.025} }[/tex]

Frequency of oscillation = 3.15 Hz

A city of punjab has 15 percemt chance of wet weather on any given day. What is probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 sepaprate days? Also find it standard deviation

Answers

Answer:

The probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days is 0.06166 and its standard deviation is 0.9447

Explanation:

We are given that A city of Punjab has 15 percent chance of wet weather on any given day.

So, Probability of wet weather = 0.15

Probability of not being a wet weather = 1-0.15 =0.85

We are supposed to find probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days

Total number of days in a week = 7

We will use binomial over here

n = 7

p =probability of failure = 0.15

q = probability of success=0.85

r=3

Formula :[tex]P(r=3)=^nC_r p^r q ^{n-r}[/tex]

[tex]P(r=3)=^{7}C_{3} (0.15)^3 (0.85)^{7-3}\\P(r=3)=\frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!} (0.15)^3 (0.85)^{7-3}\\P(r=3)=0.06166[/tex]

Standard deviation =[tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times q}[/tex]

Standard deviation =[tex]\sqrt{7 \times 0.15 \times 0.85}[/tex]

Standard deviation =0.9447

Hence The probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days is 0.06166 and its standard deviation is 0.9447

George Hansen is General Manager for the Marigold Inn in Augusta, Georgia. Sharon Coombs is Restaurant and Food Services manager for the Inn. She reports to George. Two years ago, Sharon noticed a decline in room service business, the highest margin potion of her operation. This decline coincided with an increase in the national sales of pizza delivery and carryout firms as well as an increase in the number of empty pizza boxes from these firms being left in guest rooms in the Inn. Her immediate response was to install a pizza oven in the kitchen and offer room service pizza to guests. The effort met with modest success, though it was well below her expectations. Questionnaires completed by departing guests revealed a problem of product quality.Focusing on this problem, Sharon improved the Inns pizza until blind tests judged it at least equal in quality to the products of the two major pizza delivery competitors in Augusta. Sales did not improve, convincing Sharon that the problem was a perceived mismatch between the hotels image and guests expectations of pizza makers. Guests simply did not seem to believe that the traditional steak and seafood restaurant at the Inn could make a high-quality, authentic pizza.Based on this conclusion, Sharon presented the following proposal to George:"Sales of room service pizza are stagnant due to guests misperception that our product is lower in quality than that of competitors. This misperception is based on the belief that until we disassociate our pizza from the Marigold Inn name.
