1.The distance moved by objects in a given interval of time can help us to decide which one is faster or slower. Do you agree with this statement?

Answers

Answer:

The rate of change of distance is defined as speed.

Explanation:

The speed is defined as the rate of change of distance.

Speed = distance/ time

When we know the distance and the time, we get the value of speed. So, e know that who is moving fast or slow.

hen a graph is pltted beteen the distance and time, the slope of the graph gives the value of speed. So, by checking the slopes, hoseslope ismore, the speed is more and thusit is moving faster.

We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period  (time for a complete swing) is defined as:

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

where:

pi = 3.14

Explanation:

The human eye is made up of different parts which ranges from controlling the amount of light that enters the eye to the focusing of the image that is formed. The camera is a device which is both mechanically and electronically operated which shares a number of similarities with the eye.

In the human eye, the IRIS helps to regulate the amount of rays passing through the pupil to the lens by either contracting or dilating in light or dark environment respectively. While in the camera, the DIAPHRAGM controls the amount of light entering the camera.

The PUPIL serves as the passage for light into the eye while in the camera, the APERTURE does the same.

The photosensitive surface in the eye is the YELLOW SPOT while in the camera, the photosensitive surface is the PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM.

What happen to the frequency of transverse vibration of a stretched string if its tension is halved and the area of cross section of the string is doubled?

Answers

Answer:

The fundamental frequency of the stretched string is:

[tex]f=[/tex] [tex]\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{L} }[/tex] [ T = Tension and μ = mass per unit length]

Here,

 μ = [tex]\frac{m}{L} = \frac{Vp}{L} = Ap[/tex]

[tex]f= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{Ap} }[/tex]

If T is halved and A is doubled,

[tex]f= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T'}{A'p} } = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2* 2* A* p} } = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{Ap} } = \frac{1}{2} f[/tex]

Thus, the frequency is reduced to half if its tension is halved and the area of cross-section of the string is doubled.

When the tension is halved and the area of cross section is doubled, the frequency increases by a factor of 1.414.

The frequency of transverse vibration of a stretched string is calculated as follows;

[tex]f = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }[/tex]

where;

T is the tension on the stringμ is the mass per unit length

[tex]f = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }\\\\f = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m} } \\\\f = \frac{l^2}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} } \\\\f = \frac{A}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}[/tex]

when the tension is halved and the area of cross section is doubled, the frequency is calculated as;

[tex]\frac{f_1}{A_1 \sqrt{T_1} } = \frac{f_2}{A_2\sqrt{T_2} } \\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1 A_2\sqrt{T_2}}{A_1 \sqrt{T_1} }\\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1 \times 2A_1\sqrt{0.5T_1} }{\sqrt{T_1} }\\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1 \times 2A_1 \times 0.7071\sqrt{T_1} }{\sqrt{T_1} }\\\\f_2 = 1.414 f_1[/tex]

Thus, when the tension is halved and the area of cross section is doubled, the frequency increases by a factor of 1.414.

Your parallel capacitors are 15 μf and 20 μf. The series capacitors are 10 μf and 12 μf. This circuit is connected to a 14 v battery, also determine the potential energy and the voltage across each capacitor

Answers

Answer:

a. i. 6.608 V ii. 5.507 V iii. 1.89 V iv. 1.89 V

b. i. 0.22 mJ ii. 0.182 mJ iii. 0.027 mJ iv. 0.036 mJ

Explanation:

a. The voltage across each capacitor

Since the 15 μf and 20 μf capacitors are in parallel, their total capacitance is C = 15 μf + 20 μf = 35 μf.

Also, since C is in series with the 10 μf and 12 μf which are in series, their total capacitance, C' is gotten from 1/C' = 1/10 μf + 1/12 μf + 1/35 μf  

1/C' = (12 + 42 + 35)/420 /μf

1/C' = 89/420 /μf

C' = 420/89 μf

C' = 4.72 μf

The total charge in the circuit' is thus Q = C'V where V = voltage = 14 V

So, Q = C'V =  4.72 μf × 14 V = 66.08 μC

Since the 10 μf and 12 μf are in series, Q is the charge flowing through them.

Since Q = CV and V = Q/C

i. The voltage across the 10 capacitor is

V = 66.08 μC/10 μF = 6.608 V

ii. The voltage across the 12 capacitor is

V = 66.08 μC/12 μF = 5.507 V

The voltage across the 15 μF and 20 μF capacitors.

Since the capacitors are in parallel, the voltage across them is the voltage across their combined capacitance, C

So, V = Q/C = 66.08 μC/35 μF = 1.89 V

iii. The voltage across the 15 μF capacitor is 1.89 V

iv. The voltage across the 20 μF capacitor is 1.89 V

b. The potential energy of each capacitor

i. The potential energy of the 10 μF capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 10 μF = 10 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 6.608 V

E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 × 10 × 10⁻⁶ F(6.608 V)²

E = 5 × 10⁻⁶ F(43.666) V²

E = 218.33 × 10⁻⁶ J

E = 0.21833 × 10⁻³ J

E = 0.21833 mJ

E ≅ 0.22 mJ

ii. The potential energy of the 12 μF capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 12 μF = 12 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 5.507 V

E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 × 12 × 10⁻⁶ F(5.507 V)²

E = 6 × 10⁻⁶ F(30.327) V²

E = 181.96 × 10⁻⁶ J

E = 0.18196 × 10⁻³ J

E = 0.18196 mJ

E ≅ 0.182 mJ

iii. The potential energy of the 15 μF capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 15 μF = 15 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 1.89 V

E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 × 15 × 10⁻⁶ F(1.89 V)²

E = 7.5 × 10⁻⁶ F(3.5721) V²

E = 26.79 × 10⁻⁶ J

E = 0.02679 × 10⁻³ J

E = 0.02679 mJ

E ≅ 0.027 mJ

iv. The potential energy of the 15 μF capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 20 μF = 15 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 1.89 V

E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 × 20 × 10⁻⁶ F(1.89 V)²

E = 10 × 10⁻⁶ F(3.5721) V²

E = 35.721 × 10⁻⁶ J

E = 0.035721 × 10⁻³ J

E = 0.035721 mJ

Explanation:

According to the Newton's second law, the force applied on a body is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body.

According to the Newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When ice skater pushes harder means more force is applied so he moves fast and more be the action force more be the reaction force.

Thus, Newton' second law  and third law describes the situation.

A heavier person will have a lower blood level due to a greater amount of ___ in their

Answers

Answer:

Blood alcohol content (BAC) is a measure of the amount of alcohol that is present in the blood.

A heavier person will have a lower blood alcohol level due to a greater amount of water in their body. The more a person weighs, the more water he/she tends to have in his/her body. The water has a diluting effect on the alcohol so the BAC will be lower in comparison with a person who is slimmer  and has less water in the body.

A car travelling an unbanked curve of radius 200 ft notices a truckstopped on the road ahead. The driverimmediately applies brakes causing the speed of the carto decrease at the rate of 10 ft/s2. If at that instant, the stationary truckis 100 ft ahead (the distance is measured along the path) and the car is travelling at a speed of 40ft/s, whatis the magnitude of the relative velocity ofthe truck perceived by the driver of the car (i.e. from the moving frame of referenceof the car).

Answers

Answer:

 u = - 40 ft / s

Explanation:

The Galilean relation for the relative velocity is

         v ’= v + u

where u is the speed between the two reference frames, v is the speed of the fixed system and v 'the speed of the mobile system.

In this case the truck has a speed with respect to the ground (fixed system) 0 m / s (it is stopped), the car has a speed with respect to the ground of v = 40 ft / s,

        u = v'- v

         

        u = 0 - 40

        u = - 40 ft / s

the speed perceived by the car if the system is fixed on it is -40 ft / s

Toinetic energy when its velocity
is doubled? What will be its
Icinetic energy ruhen its velocity
is increased three times?​

Answers

Answer:

1. 100 J

2. 225 J

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 5 ms¯¹

Kinetic energy (KE) = 25 J

Mass (m) =?

KE = ½mv²

25 = ½ × m × 5²

25 = ½ × m × 25

25 = 25m / 2

Cross multiply

25m = 25 × 2

25m = 50

Divide both side by 25

m = 50 / 25

m = 2 Kg

1. Determination of the kinetic energy when the velocity is doubled.

Mass (m) = 2 Kg

Velocity (v) = double the initial velocity

= 2 × 5 ms¯¹

= 10 ms¯¹

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 2 × 10²

KE = ½ × 2 × 100

KE = 100 J

2. Determination of the kinetic energy when the velocity increased three times.

Mass (m) = 2 Kg

Velocity (v) = three times the initial velocity

= 3 × 5 ms¯¹

= 15 ms¯¹

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 2 × 15²

KE = ½ × 2 × 225

KE = 225 J
