B. lower than the speed of the air beneath it and the pressure on top of the Frisbee is less than the pressure beneath it.
C. lower than the speed of the air beneath it and the pressure on top of the Frisbee is greater than the pressure beneath it.
D. higher than the speed of the air beneath it and the pressure on top of the Frisbee is less than the pressure beneath it.
Answer:
D. higher than the speed of the air beneath it and the pressure on top of the Frisbee is less than the pressure beneath it.
Explanation:
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
[tex] Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass} [/tex]
When a frisbee flies horizontally through the air, it experiences air above and beneath it. Also, there is a pressure acting on both on top and below the frisbee.
Typically, the air flowing over the top of the frisbee has a speed that is higher than the speed of the air beneath it.
Furthermore, the frisbee is able to remain in flight because the pressure on top of the frisbee is less than the pressure beneath it.
calculate the work function that requires a 455 nm photon to eject an electron of a value 0.73 eV
Answer:
W = 2 eV
Explanation:
Given that,
The wavelength of a photon = 455 nm
The kinetic energy of a photon, K = 0.73 eV
We need to find the work function of the electron. It can be solved using Einstein's equation such that,
[tex]W=E-K[/tex]
E is the energy of the photon
So,
[tex]W=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}-K\\\\W=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{455\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}-0.73\\\\W= 2.73\ eV-0.73\ eV\\\\W=2\ eV[/tex]
So, the work function of the metal is 2 eV.

You are packing for a trip to another star, and on your journey you will be traveling at a speed of 0.99c. Can you sleep in a smaller cabin than usual, because you will be shorter when you lie down? Explain your answer.
Explanation:
No. From your own reference frame, nothing will change. Everything will look the same to you even if you're traveling at 99% speed of light. However, an outside observer will see you shrink to about 14% of your original length along the direction of your motion according to the Lorentz contraction predicted by special relativity:

Under which conditions would a nucleus be least likely to undergo radioactive decay? A. When the strong nuclear forces are less than the electrostatic forces of repulsion
B. When the strong nuclear forces are greater than the electrostatic forces of repulsion
C. When the strong nuclear forces are less than the electrostatic forces of attraction
D. When the strong nuclear forces are greater than the electrostatic forces of attraction
Answer:
b is the correct answer i believe
Explanation:
the strong nuclear force encourages particles to come together so that they can nuetralize, a process the opposite of the electrostatic force of repulsion. This lets the atom stay intact because if the repulsion was more than the nuclear forces strength the atom would lose electrons and slowly decay
To a man running east at the rate of 3m/s vain appears to fall vertically with a speed of 4m/s. Find the actual speed and direction of rain...
Answer:
The actual speed of the rain is 5 m/s and its direction is -53.13°
Explanation:
The actual speed of the rain V = speed of man, v + speed of rain relative to man, v'.
V = v + v'
We add these vectorially.
Since the man's speed is 3 m/s east, in the positive x - direction, we have v = 3i and the rain's speed is falling vertically at 4 m/s, in the negative y- direction, we have v' = -4j
So, V = v + v'
V = 3i + (-4j)
V = 3i - 4j
So, the magnitude of V which is its speed is V = √(3² + (-4)²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 m/s
The direction of V, Ф = tan⁻¹(vertical component/horizontal component) = tan⁻¹(-4/3) = tan⁻¹(-4/3) = tan⁻¹(-1.333) = -53.13°
So, the actual speed of the rain is 5 m/s and its direction is -53.13°
A 2.7 kg mass is connected to a spring (k=159 N/m) and is sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface. The mass is given an initial displacement of +19 cm and released with an initial velocity of -13 cm/s. Determine the acceleration of the spring at t=3.4 seconds.
Answer:
The acceleration of the spring at [tex]t = 3.4\,s[/tex] is -29339.947 centimeters per square second.
Explanation:
The mass-spring system experiments a Simple Harmonic Motion, whose kinematic expression is the following:
[tex]x(t) = A\cdot \cos \left(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\cdot t + \phi\right)[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]x(t)[/tex] - Position, in centimeters.
[tex]A[/tex] - Amplitude, in centimeters.
[tex]k[/tex] - Spring constant, in newtons per meter.
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass, in kilograms.
[tex]\phi[/tex] - Phase, in radians.
By Differential Calculus, we derive expression for the velocity and acceleration of the mass-spring system:
[tex]v(t) = -\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\cdot A\cdot \sin \left(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\cdot t +\phi\right)[/tex] (2)
[tex]a(t) = -\frac{k\cdot A}{m}\cdot \cos \left(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\cdot t +\phi\right)[/tex] (3)
Where [tex]v(t)[/tex] and [tex]a(t)[/tex] are the velocity and acceleration of the system, in centimeters per second and centimeters per square second, respectively.
If we know [tex]m = 2.7\,kg[/tex], [tex]k = 159\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]t = 0\,s[/tex], [tex]x(t) = 19\,cm[/tex] and [tex]v(t) = -13\,\frac{cm}{s}[/tex], then we have the following system of nonlinear equations:
[tex]A \cdot \cos \phi = 19[/tex] (1)
[tex]-7.674\cdot A \cdot \sin \phi = - 13[/tex] (2)
If we divide (2) by (1):
[tex]-7.674\cdot \tan \phi = -0.684[/tex]
[tex]\tan \phi = 0.089[/tex]
[tex]\phi = \tan^{-1} 0.089[/tex]
[tex]\phi \approx 0.028\,rad[/tex]
By (1), we get the value of the amplitude:
[tex]A = \frac{19}{\cos \phi}[/tex]
[tex]A = 19.075\,cm[/tex]
If we know that [tex]A = 19.075\,cm[/tex], [tex]k = 159\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]m = 2.7\,kg[/tex], [tex]t = 3.4\,s[/tex] and [tex]\phi \approx 0.028\,rad[/tex], then the acceleration of the spring is:
[tex]a(t) = -29339.947\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}[/tex]
The acceleration of the spring at [tex]t = 3.4\,s[/tex] is -29339.947 centimeters per square second.

If a force of 50 N stretches a spring 0.40 m, what is the spring constant?
Answer:
The spring constant = 125 N/m
Explanation:
Given that :
Force = 50 N
distance (x) = 0.40 m
Recall that, From Hooke's law
Force = kx
where;
k = spring constant.
∴
50 N = k × 0.40 m
k = 50 N/0.40m
k = 125 N/m
A professional boxer hits his opponent with a 1035 N horizontal blow that lasts 0.175 s. The opponent's total body mass is 120 kg and the blow strikes him near his center of mass and while he is motionless in midair. Determine the following.(a) The opponent's final velocity after the blow(b) Calculate the recoil velocity of the opponent's 5.0-kg head if hit in this manner, assuming the head does not initially transfer significant momentum to the boxer's body.
Answer:
(a) vf = 1.51 m/s
(b) vf = 36.22 m/s
Explanation:
The rate of change of momentum is equal to the force:
[tex]F = \frac{mv_f-mv_i}{t}[/tex]
[tex]Ft = m(v_f-v_i)[/tex]
where,
F = Force = 1035 N
t = time = 0.175 s
vi = initial speed = 0 m /s
vf = final speed = ?
(a)
m = mass of body = 120 kg
Therefore,
[tex](1035\ N)(0.175\ s)=(120\ kg)(v_f - 0\ m/s)\\\\v_f = \frac{181.125\ Ns}{120\ kg} \\\\[/tex]
vf = 1.51 m/s
(b)
m = mass of head = 5 kg
Therefore,
[tex](1035\ N)(0.175\ s)=(5\ kg)(v_f - 0\ m/s)\\\\v_f = \frac{181.125\ Ns}{5\ kg} \\\\[/tex]
vf = 36.22 m/s
You use a force sensor to measure the weight of an object 10 times, and get the following values: 2.8, 2.6, 2.9, 3.1, 2.4, 2.9, 3.2, 2.5, 2.7, 3.0, where all ten values are in units of N. What is the mean weight of the object, as well as the measurement uncertainty of the weight?
Answer: Mean weight = 2.81 N and Measurement of uncertainty = 0.82 N
Explanation:
Mean = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{number of observations}}[/tex]
Mean weight is [tex]($\mu)=\frac{2.8+2.6+2.9+3.1+2.4+2.9+3.2+2.5+2.7+3.0}{10}[/tex]
[tex]=2.81$[/tex]
[tex]$\sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(x_{i}-\mu\right)^{2}=0.61[/tex]
[tex]$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N-1} \sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(x_{i}-\mu\right)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{1}{10-1} 0.61}=0.082$[/tex]
Measurement of uncertainty will be [tex]$\sigma=0.082$[/tex]
hence, Weight [tex]$W=2.81 \pm 0.082 N$[/tex]
Part A What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 227 g block of copper at 283 °C is placed in a 155 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 844 g of water at 14.6°C?
Answer:
T = 20.84°C
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of energy:
Heat Lost by Copper Block = Heat Gained by Aluminum Calorimeter + Heat Gained by Water
[tex]m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w + m_aC_a\Delta T_a[/tex]
where,
[tex]m_c[/tex] = mass of copper = 227 g
[tex]m_w[/tex] = mass of water = 844 g
[tex]m_a[/tex] = mass of aluminum = 155 g
[tex]C_c[/tex] = specific heat capacity of calorimeter = 385 J/kg.°C
[tex]C_w[/tex] = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg.°C
[tex]C_a[/tex] = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 890 J/kg.°C
[tex]\Delta T_c[/tex] = change in temperature of copper = 283°C - T
[tex]\Delta T_w[/tex] = change in temperature of water = T - 14.6°C
[tex]\Delta T_a[/tex] = change in temperature of aluminum = T - 14.6°C
T = equilibrium temperature = ?
Therefore,
[tex](227\ g)(385\ J/kg.^oC)(283^oC-T)=(844\ g)(4200\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)+(155\ g)(890\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)\\\\24732785\ J - (87395\ J/^oC) T = (3544800\ J/^oC) T - 51754080\ J+ (137950\ J/^oC) T-2014070\ J\\\\24732785\ J +51754080\ J+2014070\ J = (3544800\ J/^oC) T+(137950\ J/^oC+(87395\ J/^oC) T\\\\78560935\ J = (3770145\ J/^oC) T\\\\T = \frac{78560935\ J}{3770145\ J/^oC}[/tex]

help plzzzzzzzzzzzz ?
Explanation:
1. First, let's find the total resistance of the circuit. We begin by combining [tex]R_{4}[/tex], [tex]R_{5}[/tex] and [tex]R_{6}[/tex]:
[tex]R_{456}=R_{4} + \dfrac{R_{5}R_{6}}{R_{5} + R_{6}}[/tex]
[tex]= 6\:Ω + \dfrac{(3\:Ω)(5\:Ω)}{3\:Ω+5\:Ω} = 7.9\:Ω[/tex]
Now time to combine [tex]R_{2}[/tex] and [tex]R_{3}[/tex] and they are connected in series so
[tex]R_{23} =R_{2} + R_{3} = 17\:Ω[/tex]
Note that [tex]R_{23}[/tex] and [tex]R_{456}[/tex] are connected in parallel so
[tex]R_{23456} = \dfrac{R_{23}R_{456}}{R_{23}+R_{456}}=5.4\:Ω[/tex]
Finally, [tex]R_{23456}[/tex] is connected in series with [tex]R_{1}[/tex] so the total resistance [tex]R_{T}[/tex] is
[tex]R_{T} = R_{1} + R_{23456} = 10\:Ω + 5.4\:Ω = 15.4\:Ω[/tex]
2. The total current in the circuit is
[tex]I_{T} = \dfrac{V}{R_{T}} = \dfrac{20\:V}{15.4\:Ω} = 1.3\:A[/tex]
3. The voltage drop across [tex]R_{1},\:V_{1}[/tex] is
[tex]V_{1} = I_{T}R_{1} = (1.3\:A)(10\:Ω) = 13\:V[/tex]
4. We can see that [tex]I_{T} = I_{1} + I_{2}[/tex]. To solve for [tex]I_{1}[/tex], we need [tex]V_{23}[/tex], which is just [tex]V_{T} - V_{1} = 20\:V - 13\:V = 7\:V[/tex] , which gives us
[tex]I_{1} = \dfrac{V_{23}}{R_{23}} = \dfrac{7\:V}{17\:Ω} = 0.4\:A[/tex]
5. From #2 & #4, [tex]I_{2} = 1.3\:A - 0.4\:A = 0.9\:A[/tex] and we also know that the voltage drop across [tex]R_{456}[/tex] is 7 V, the same as that of [tex]R_{23}[/tex]. The voltage drop across [tex]R_{4}[/tex] is
[tex]V_{4} = I_{2}R_{4} =(0.9\:A)(6\:Ω) = 5.4\:V[/tex]
This means that the voltage drop across [tex]R_{6}[/tex] is 7 V - 5.4 V = 1.6 V. Knowing this, the current through [tex]R_{6}[/tex] is
[tex]I_{6} = \dfrac{1.6\:V}{5\:Ω} = 0.3\:A[/tex]
Fiber optic (FO) cables are based upon the concept of total internal reflection (TIR), which is achieved when the FO core and cladding have the same refractive indices.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Though fiber active cable is based on the concept of internal reflection but it is achieved by refractive index which transmit data through fast traveling pulses of light. It has a layer of glass and insulating casing called “cladding,”and this is is wrapped around the central fiber thereby causing light to continuously bounce back from the walls of the Cable.
You take your pulse and observe 80 heartbeats in a minute. What is the period of your heartbeat? What is the frequency of your heartbeat?
Answer:
120 beats per minute.
Explanation:
If I take your pulse and observe 80 heartbeats in a minute. Then the period of your heartbeat is 0.8 s and frequency is 1.3Hz.
What is Heartbeat ?A pulse is the term used in medicine to describe the tactile arterial palpation of the cardiac cycle (heartbeat) by skilled fingertips. Any location where an artery can be compressed close to the surface of the body, such as the carotid artery in the neck, the radial artery in the wrist, the femoral artery in the groyne, the popliteal artery behind the knee, the posterior tibial artery near the ankle joint, and on the foot, can be used to palpate the pulse (dorsalis pedis artery). Heart rate may be determined by monitoring pulse, or the number of arterial pulses per minute. Auscultation, which is the process of counting the heartbeats while listening to the heart using a stethoscope, is another way to determine the heart rate. Typically, three fingers are used to gauge the radial pulse.
Given,
heart beat = 80 beats/min = 1.3 beats/s
Frequency is nothing but how much beats is heart having in one second and that is 1.3 beats/s. Hence frequency of heart is 1.3Hz.
The Period is reciprocal of frequency,
T = 1/f = 0.8 s

An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the terminals of a 8.85-V battery and charges up. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery, and the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled. As a result of this change, what is the new voltage between the plates of the capacitor
Answer:
The new voltage is 17.7 V.
Explanation:
Voltage, V = 8.85 V
The spacing is doubled.
When it is disconnected, the charge remains same,
q = C V ..... (1)
where, C is the capacitance, V is the voltage.
The capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the two plates.
So, when the spacing is doubled, the capacitance is halved.
Let the new voltage is V'.
C V = C' V'
C x 8.85 = C/2 x V'
V' = 17.7 V

You sit on ice and shove a heavy box with your feet with a given force. What will you and the box share? *
A) Same acceleration
B) equal and opposite acceleration
C) the equal and opposite force
D) same force
explain please
Answer:
the correct answer is C
Explanation:
In this exercise we will analyze the situation.
When the person is on the ice, the friction coefficient is very small, if the box is in a place where there is no ice, the coefficient is different, so the friction force on each body is different.
Therefore the acceleration that each body acquires is different.
If we apply the conservation of momentum, each body moves in the opposite direction, but with different speeds.
If we use Newton's third law, the force applied to each body has the same magnitude and opposite direction, which is why the force is of the action and reaction type
Consequently the correct answer is C
A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is transformed into elastic potential energy of the bending board; if the board bends far enough, it breaks. Applying a force to the center of a particular pine board deflects the center of the board by a distance that increases in proportion to the force. Ultimately the board breaks at an applied force of 870 N and a deflection of 1.4 cm.
a. To break the board with a blow from the hand, how fast must the hand be moving? Use 0.50 kg for the mass of the hand.
b. If the hand is moving this fast and comes to rest in a distance of 1.2 cm, what is the average force on the hand?
Answer:
A. The hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.
B. Average force on the hand = 1025 N
Explanation:
A.To determine the speed the hand must move with to break the board, the force workdone in breaking the board is found first.
Workdone = force × distance
Minimum force required = 870 N;
Distance moved by board/Deflection in order to break = 1.4 cm = 0.014 M
Workd done = 870 N × 0.014 m = 12.18 Nm or 12.18 J
This work done = Kinetic energy of the hand
Kinetic energy = mv²/2 ; where m is mass and v is velocity
Mass of hand = 0.50 Kg, velocity = ?, K.E. = 12.18 J
v² = 2 KE/m
v = √2KE/m
v = √(2 × 12.18/0.50)
v = 6.98 m/s
Therefore, the hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.
B. Average force on the hand
This can be determined using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as to find acceleration, since force = mass × acceleration
From the equation of motion, a = v² - u²/2s
At rest, v = 0, u = 6.98, s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m
a = 0² - 6.98²/ 2 × 0.012
a = -2030 m/s²
Force = 2030 m/s² × 0. 50 kg = 1015 N
Therefore, Average force on the hand = 1025 N
