A cube, 1 m on each edge, is held 0.75 m below the surface of a pool of water by a rope. The mass of the cube is 700 kg, and the weight distribution is such that one face remains parallel to the surface of the water. a. Find the tension in the rope. b. Assuming the rope is cut, how far will the cube protrude from the water
Answer:
Explanation:
The mass of cube = 700 kg
volume = 1 m³
density = 700 kg / m²
Its density is less than that of water so it will try to float on the surface .
Tension in rope will be equal to net upward force
upthrust = volume x density of water x g
= 1 x 10³ x 9.8
= 9800 N
weight of cube = mass x g
= 700 x 9.8
= 6860 N .
Net upward force = 9800 - 6860
= 2940 N.
Tension in the rope = 2940 N.
Rope will hold the cube inside and not allow it to go outside water .
b )
If rope is cut , cube being lighter , will float on surface of water .
Part of cube inside water while floating
= 6860 / 9800
= .7
.7 m will remain inside water
part floating outside
= 1 - 0.7
= 0.3 m .
A firearms company is testing a new model of rifle by firing a 7.50-g lead bullet into a block of wood having a mass of 17.5 kg. The bullet embeds into the block and the collision generates heat. As a consequence, the temperature rises by 0.040°C, as measured with a high-precision thermometer. Assuming that all the kinetic energy of the bullet goes into heating the system, what is the bullet’s speed when it enters the block? The initial temperatures of bullet and wooden block can be considered identical and the specific heats of lead and wood are cPb = 130 J/(kg ⋅ C°) and c wood = 1700 J/(kg ⋅ C°), respectively.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the bullets speed be V .
Kinetic energy = 1/2 mV² where m is mass of bullet
This energy is converted into heat Q which raises the temperature of target by Δ T .
Q = mc Δ T , m is mass , c is specific heat and Δ T is rise in temperature .
heat absobed by bullet
= .0075 x 130 x .040
= .039 J
heat absorbed by block of wood
= 17.5 x 1700 x .04
= 1190 J
Total heat absorbed
= 1190.039 J
So kinetic energy = heat absobed
= 1/2 x .0075 x V² = 1190.039
V² = 317343.73
V = 563.33 m /s

1. A car goes from 4.47 m/s to 17.9 m/s in 3 seconds.
a. Did this car speed up or slow down?
b. Should your answer be positive or negative? Explain your reasoning.
c. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
Answer:
a:it speed up
b:it should be positive since final
velocity is larger than initial velocity
c:acceleration is approximately 4.5
m/s^2
Explanation:
initial velocity=u=4.47m/s
Final velocity=v=17.9m/s
Time=t=3 seconds
a:the car speed up since the velocity
increased
b:change in velocity is positive
because final velocity is larger than
initial velocity
17.9-4.47=13.43 m/s
c: acceleration=(v-u)/t
acceleration=(17.9-4.47)/3
acceleration=13.43/3
acceleration=4.5 m/s^2
If a car goes from a velocity u to a velocity v, the change in velocity is expressed as;
[tex]\triangle v =v-u[/tex]
Given
final velocity v = 17.9m/s
initial velocity u = 4.47m/s
[tex]\triangle v = 17.9-4.47\\\triangle v =13.43m/s[/tex]
a) Since the change in velocity is a positive value, this shows that the car speeds up.
b) The answer should be positive since the final velocity is greater than the initial velocity.
c) Acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time
[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\a=\frac{17.9-4.47}{3} \\a=\frac{13.43}{3}\\a= 4.48m/s^2[/tex]
Hence the acceleration of the car is 4.48m/s²

A physics student standing on the edge of a cliff throws a stone vertically downward with an initial speed of 10 m/s. The instant before the stone hits the ground below, it is traveling at a speed of 30 m/s. if the physics student were to throw the rock horizontally outward from the cliff instead, with the same initial speed of 10 m/s, how fast would the stone be traveling just before it hits the ground
Answer:
The velocity just before hitting the ground is [tex]v_f = 30 m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The initial speed is [tex]u = 10 m/s[/tex]
The final speed is [tex]v = 30 \ m/s[/tex]
From the equations of motion we have that
[tex]v^2 =u^2 + 2as[/tex]
Where s is the distance travelled which is the height of the cliff
So making it the subject of the the formula we have that
[tex]s = \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{2a}[/tex]
Where a is the acceleration due to gravity with a value [tex]a = 9.8m/s^2[/tex]
So
[tex]s = \frac{30^2 - 10^2 }{2 * 9.8 }[/tex]
[tex]s = 40.8 \ m[/tex]
Now we are told that was through horizontally with a speed of
[tex]v_x =10 m/s[/tex]
Which implies that this would be its velocity horizontally through out the motion
Now it final velocity vertically can be mathematically evaluated as
[tex]v_y = \sqrt{2as}[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]v_y = \sqrt{(2 * 9.8 * 40.8)}[/tex]
[tex]v_y = 28.3 \ m/s[/tex]
The resultant final velocity is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]v_f = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]v_f = \sqrt{10^2 + 28.3^2}[/tex]
[tex]v_f = 30 m/s[/tex]
A tennis player serves a tennis ball such that it is moving horizontally when it leaves the racquet. When the ball travels a horizontal distance of 13 m, it has dropped 56 cm from its original height when it left the racquet. What was the initial speed, in m/s, of the tennis ball
Answer:
The initial velocity is 38.46 m/s.
Explanation:
The horizontal distance travel by the tennis ball = 13 m
The height at which the tennis ball dropped = 56 cm
Now calculate the initial speed of tennis ball.
The vertical velocity is zero.
Below is the calculation. Here, first convert centimetre into kilometre. So, height at which ball dropped is 0.56 km.
[tex]v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.56} = 3.32 m/s \\[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{3.32}{9.8} = 0.338s \\[/tex]
[tex]Ux \times t = 13 \\[/tex]
[tex]Ux = \frac{13}{0.338} = 38.46 m/s = Initial velocity.[/tex]

In later years, motors improved and could be run directly from a 60 Hz power supply. As a result, 25 Hz power systems shrank and disappeared. However, there were many perfectly-good working 25 Hz motors in factories around the country that owners were not ready to discard. To keep them running, some users created their own 25 Hz power in the plant using motor-generator sets. A motor generator set consists of two machines connected on a common shaft, one acting as a motor and the other acting as a generator. If the two machines have different numbers of poles but exactly the same shaft speed, then the electrical frequency of the two machines will be different due to Equation (3-34). What combination of poles on the two machines could convert 60 Hz power to 25 Hz power?
Answer:
as in motor generaror are connected to same shaft then both machines are working with same speed
but number of poles are different with same speed means both machines are working with different frequencies
we know
frequency F = N*P/120
speed N = 82120F/P
given
motor speed = generator speed
120F1/P1 = 120F2/P2
F1/P1 = F2/P2
output frequency is 25 which is obtained from generator so F2=25
input frequency is 60 which is given to motor soF1=60
60/P1 = 25/P2
60/25 = P!/P2
P1/P2 = 12/5
multiply and divided by 2 becuase poles are even
P1/P2 = 12*2/5*2
=24/10
P1= 24 poles a
P2 =10 poles we get 25 hz frequency from 60 hz frequency
Q1. What is the frequency of rotation of 1000 loop coil of area 20cm2 in a magnetic field of 5T to
generate an emf that has a maximum value of 15.7V?
Answer:
Explanation:
Emf e generated in a coil with no of turn n and area A rotating in a magnetic field B with angular speed of ω is given by the expression
e = e₀ sinωt
where e₀ = nωAB which is the maximum emf generated
Putting the given values
15.7 = 1000xω x 20 x 10⁻² x 5
ω = .0157
frequency of rotation
= ω / 2π
= .0157 / 2 x 3.14
= .0025 /s
9 rotation / hour .
a) When we were examining the Electromagnetic Tab, we saw that a flow of electrons or a current as we say it, creates a magnetic field. What about the converse, can a magnetic field be involved in the creation of a flow of electrons/current? Therefore is it reasonable to suggest that we can create a magnetic field by having a flow of current and this can be used to make more current? Explain how this can occur
Answer:
Magnetic field can be used to produce current, infact a changing magnetic field can produce current.
A changing magnetic field in a loop causes the flux linked with the loop to change in turn generating a emf in the loop and therefore a current.
For a loop of area A and resistance R.
I =dPhi/dt/R
В. А
I = AcosФ/R .dB /dt
But it isn't reasonable to say that we can create a magnetic field by having a flow of current and this can be used to make more current because the current generated due to change in magnetic field created by increase/decrease in flow of current will be in a direction such that it will counter act the change in magnetic field caused by increase/decrease in current flow.(lenz's law).

Photons of light scatter off molecules, and the distance you can see through a gas is proportional to the mean free path of photons through the gas. Photons are not gas molecules, so the mean free path of a photon is not equal to that of a molecule, but its dependence on the number density of the gas and on molecular radius is the same. Suppose you are in a smoggy city and can barely see buildings 500 m away.

C. is always perpendicular to the surface of the conductor
D. is always parallel to the surface
E. is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor only if it is a sphere, a cylinder, or a flat sheet.
Answer:
C. is always perpendicular to the surface of the conductor
Explanation:
On a charged conductor , electric charge is uniformly distributed on its surface . The lines of forces are also uniformly distributed on all directions . They repel each other so they emerge perpendicular to the surface so that they do nor cut each other and at the same time they remain at maximum distance from each other.

A person jumps out a fourth-story window 14 m above a firefighter safety net. The survivor stretches the net 1.8 m before coming to rest. what was the deceleration experienced by the survivor? Use g = 9.8 m/s2 Calculate to one decimal.
Answer:
The deceleration is [tex]a = - 76.27 m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height above firefighter safety net is [tex]H = 14 \ m[/tex]
The length by which the net is stretched is [tex]s = 1.8 \ m[/tex]
From the law of energy conservation
[tex]KE_T + PE_T = KE_B + PE_B[/tex]
Where [tex]KE_T[/tex] is the kinetic energy of the person before jumping which equal to zero(because to kinetic energy at maximum height )
and [tex]PE_T[/tex] is the potential energy of the before jumping which is mathematically represented at
[tex]PE_T = mg H[/tex]
and [tex]KE_B[/tex] is the kinetic energy of the person just before landing on the safety net which is mathematically represented at
[tex]KE_B = \frac{1}{2} m v^2[/tex]
and [tex]PE_B[/tex] is the potential energy of the person as he lands on the safety net which has a value of zero (because it is converted to kinetic energy )
So the above equation becomes
[tex]mgH = \frac{1}{2} m v^2[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \sqrt{2 gH }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]v = 16.57 m/s[/tex]
Applying the equation o motion
[tex]v_f = v + 2 a s[/tex]
Now the final velocity is zero because the person comes to rest
So
[tex]0 = 16.57 + 2 * a * 1.8[/tex]
[tex]a = - \frac{16.57^2 }{2 * 1.8}[/tex]
[tex]a = - 76.27 m/s^2[/tex]

A small object begins a free-fall from a height of =81.5 m at 0=0 s . After τ=2.20 s , a second small object is launched vertically up from the ground with an initial velocity of 0=40.0 m/s . At what height from the ground will the two objects first meet?
Answer:
33.2 m
Explanation:
For the first object:
y₀ = 81.5 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
t₀ = 0 s
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
y = 81.5 − 4.9t²
For the second object:
y₀ = 0 m
v₀ = 40.0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
t₀ = 2.20 s
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
y = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²
When they meet:
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9 (t² − 4.4t + 4.84)
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9t² + 21.56t − 23.716
81.5 = 61.56t − 111.716
193.216 = 61.56t
t = 3.139
The position at that time is:
y = 81.5 − 4.9(3.139)²
y = 33.2

Rb (0.66 m + 0.42 m + 2.52 m) − 12.5 kN (0.66 m) − 2.5 kN ((3.6 m + 0.9 m) cos 30° + 0.66 m + 0.42 m) = 0
Rb (3.6 m) − 12.5 kN (0.66 m) − 2.5 kN (4.98 m) = 0
Rb = 5.75 kN
Alternatively, you can use sum of the forces in the y direction as your second equation.
∑F = ma
Ra + Rb − 12.5 kN − 2.5 kN = 0
Ra + Rb = 15 kN
9.25 kN + Rb = 15 kN
Rb = 5.75 kN
However, you must be careful. If you make a mistake in the first equation, it will carry over to this equation.
(b) At the maximum weight, Ra = 0.
Sum of the moments about B in the counterclockwise direction:
∑τ = Iα
12.5 kN (2.52 m + 0.42 m) − F ((3.6 m + 0.9 m) cos 30° − 2.52 m) = 0
12.5 kN (2.94 m) − F (1.38 m) = 0
F = 26.7 kN
