When AC Electric is producing 120 volts with 20 amps, What controls the the 120 volts at 60cycles a second?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cycles per second is dependent on the construction of the alternator and the 120 volts is dependent upon the current and resistance in the circuit according to the ohms law.

Explanation:

We are given with AC of 120 volts, 20 amperes and 60 hertz frequency.

According to the Ohm's law, we find its resistance:

[tex]R=\frac{V}{I}[/tex]

[tex]R=\frac{120}{20}[/tex]

[tex]R=6\ \Omega[/tex]

So, this 6 ohm resistance controls the current controls the magnitude of the AC current, while the frequency of the current remains constant and depends upon the construction and rotational speed of the armature of the alternator producing the current.

Here the value of frequency is the number of times the current changes its direction or the polarity in one second.

Answer 2

The control of the AC power frequency is managed by power plant generators, which use turbine controls to ensure electricity alternates at a specific frequency, such as the standard 60 Hz in North America. Voltage and current in AC power cross zero 120 times a second due to this oscillation.

Alternating Current (AC) electric power is characterized by a voltage that alternates in polarity from positive to negative, resulting in a sinusoidal waveform. The frequency of this oscillation in North America is 60 times per second (60 Hz). This oscillation means that the voltage swings from a peak value to the opposite peak value, crossing zero in the process, twice every cycle. Therefore, for a 60 Hz AC supply, voltage and current cross zero 120 times a second.

The control of the frequency at which this oscillation occurs is managed by the generator at the power plant. In the case of a hydro-electric dam, turbine controls adjust the rotational frequency to produce the desired AC frequency. For example, in North America, these turbines are regulated to rotate in such a way that the electricity they generate alternates at 60 Hz. This regulated rotation is what ensures the consistency of the 120 volts at 60 cycles per second.

The power consumption of an electrical device such as a light bulb in an AC circuit also swings. Peak power is calculated by multiplying peak current by peak voltage. Given that the root mean square (RMS) voltage is 120 volts for a standard AC outlet, the peak voltage is actually higher, around 170 volts. Thus, for a 60-watt light bulb, the power consumption will pulse from zero up to its peak value 120 times per second, averaging out to the rated 60 watts.

If 1.00 kilograms of coal is burned, approximately 3.00 x 107 joules (J) of energy is released. How many tons of coal, when burned, would produce approximately 9.00 x 1016 J?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]3.00\times10^{6}\,tons [/tex]

Explanation:

We can resolve this problem using a proportion because the ratio tons burned and energy produced is constant, using x for tons burned of coal to produce [tex] 9.00\times10^{16}J [/tex]:

[tex]\frac{x}{9.00\times10^{16}J}=\frac{1.00\,kg}{3.00\times10^{7}J} [/tex]

solving the proportion:

[tex]x*3.00\times10^{7}J=1.00\,kg*9.00\times10^{16}J [/tex]

[tex] \frac{x*\cancel{3.00\times10^{7}J}}{\cancel{3.00\times10^{7}J}}=\frac{1.00\,kg*9.00\times10^{16}J}{3.00\times10^{7}J}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{9.00\times10^{16}kg*\cancel{J}}{3.00\times10^{7}\cancel{J}}=3.00\times10^{9}\,kg [/tex]

Now we have the answer but in kilograms we should convert this knowing that 1 ton = 1000 kg:

[tex]3.00\times10^{9}\,kg=3.00\times10^{9}\,\cancel{kg}*\frac{1\,ton}{1000\,\cancel{kg}} [/tex]

Suppose the ball is thrown from the same height as in the PRACTICE IT problem at an angle of 27.0°below the horizontal. If it strikes the ground 59.0 m away, find the following. (Hint: For part (a), use the equation for the x-displacement to eliminate v0t from the equation for the y-displacement.)(a) the time of flight.(b) the inital.(c) the speed and angle of the velocity vector with respect to the horizontal at impact.

Answers

a) The time of flight is 3.78 s

b) The initial speed is 17.0 m/s

c) The speed at impact is 46.4 m/s at [tex]70.3^{\circ}[/tex] below the horizontal

Explanation:

The picture of the previous problem (and some data) is missing: find it in attachment.

a)

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

We start by considering the vertical motion, to find the time of flight of the ball. We do it by using the following suvat equation: for the y-displacement:

[tex]y=u_y t+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

where we have:

y = -45.0 m is the vertical displacement of the ball (the height of the building)

[tex]u_y=u sin \theta[/tex] is the initial vertical velocity, with u being the initial velocity (unknown) and [tex]\theta=-27.0^{\circ}[/tex] the angle of projection

t is the time of the fall

[tex]a=g=-9.8 m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration of gravity

Along the x-direction, the equation of motion is instead

[tex]x=(u cos \theta)t[/tex]

where [tex]ucos \theta[/tex] is the horizontal component of the velocity. Rewriting this equation as

[tex]t=\frac{x}{ucos \theta}[/tex]

And substituting into the previous equation, we get

[tex]y=xtan \theta + \frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

And using the fact that the horizontal range is

x = 59.0 m

And solving for t, we find the time of flight:

[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{y-x tan \theta}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{-45-(59.0)(tan(-27^{\circ}))}{-9.8}}=3.78 s[/tex]

b)

We can now find the initial speed, u, by using the equation of motion along the x-direction

[tex]x=u cos \theta t[/tex]

where we know that:

x = 59.0 m is the horizontal range

[tex]\theta=-23^{\circ}[/tex] is the angle of projection

[tex]t=3.78 s[/tex] is the time of flight

Solving for u, we find the initial speed:

[tex]u=\frac{x}{cos \theta t}=\frac{59.0}{(cos (-23^{\circ}))(3.78)}=17.0 m/s[/tex]

c)

First of all, we notice that the horizontal component of the velocity remains constant during the motion, and it is equal to

[tex]v_x = u cos \theta = (17.0)(cos (-23^{\circ})=15.6 m/s[/tex]

The vertical velocity instead changes according to the equation

[tex]v_y = u sin \theta + gt[/tex]

Substituting all the values and t = 3.78 s, the time of flight, we find the vertical velocity at the time of impact:

[tex]v_y = (17.0)(sin (-23^{\circ}))+(-9.8)(3.78)=-43.7 m/s[/tex]

Where the negative sign means it is downward.

Therefore, the speed at impact is

[tex]v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(15.6)^2+(-43.7)^2}=46.4 m/s[/tex]

while the direction is given by

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-43.7}{15.6})=-70.3^{\circ}[/tex]

So, [tex]70.3^{\circ}[/tex] below the horizontal.

Technician A says that the 3 wires on the TP sensor include a 5-volt reference voltage from PCM, plus the signal wire to PCM, and a ground wire to the engine block. Technician B says that the TP sensor is used by the PCM to determine torque converter engagement and transmission shift points. Who is right?

Answers

Answer:

Technician B

Explanation:

It is a known fact that the Throttle Position (TP) sensor, is used by the PCM to determine torque converter engagement and transmission shift points. The TP is a 3 wire potentiometer, often used for vehicle fuel-management systems which includes a voltage of +5V applied to the PCM, not the resistive layer.

Final answer:

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. Technician A accurately described the three wires on the TP sensor, and Technician B correctly noted that the TP sensor is used by the PCM to manage torque converter engagement and transmission shift points.

Explanation:

The question asks about the function of the TP (Throttle Position) sensor and whom out of Technician A and Technician B is correct in their statement. Technician A claims that there are three wires connected to the TP sensor, which include a 5-volt reference voltage from PCM, a signal wire to PCM, and a ground wire to the engine block. Technician B states that the TP sensor is used by the PCM to determine torque converter engagement and transmission shift points.

Technician A is correct in their description of the TP sensor's wiring. The typical TP sensor indeed has a 5-volt reference voltage supplied by the PCM (Powertrain Control Module), a signal wire that sends information back to the PCM based on the throttle position, and a ground wire usually connected to a common ground on the vehicle and not necessarily to the engine block directly.

Technician B is also correct. The TP sensor is one of several sensors used by the PCM to calculate the load on the engine and determine the appropriate time to engage the torque converter lockup and to adjust the automatic transmission's shift points for optimal performance and fuel economy.

The heat of combustion of bituminous coal is 2.50 x 10⁴ J/g.

Answers

Answer:

mc=5.84kg

Explanation:

Given

m i = 106.9  l b s

m i = 48480.7  g

T 1 = T i = 0 °C

T 2 = T s = 100 °C

C p i = 2.10 J / g − C

C p w = 4.18 J / g − C

H f = 333 J / g

H v = 2258 J / g

H c = 25000.00 J / g

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the heat supplied by the coal must be equal to the heat required to convert the ice into water and then the water into steam:

Q c = Q i + Q w + Q s  . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . . . . .(eq:1)

Since the water will undergo a change in temperature (0 C to 100 C )

Q i = m i ∗ H f..........(eq:2)

Q s= m s ∗ H v..........(eq:3)

heat allows for the change in temperature, calculated as:

Q w = m w ∗ C p w ∗ ( T 2 − T 1 )...........(eq:4)

Integrating Equations 2, 3 and 4 into Equation 1, we get:

Q c = m i ∗ H f + m w ∗ C p w ∗ ( T 2 − T 1 ) + m s ∗ H v ...........(eq:5)

m i = m w = m s = m

Q c = m ∗ ( H f + C p w ∗ ( T 2 − T 1 ) + H v )

Q c = 48480.7 ∗ ( 333 + 4.18 ∗ ( 100 − 0 ) + 2258 ) J

Q c = 145878426.3 J

The heat of the coal is the product of the mass of the coal and its heat of combustion.

Thus:

m c = Q c / H c

m c = 145878426.3/ 2.5 x 10 4 g  

m c = 5835.137052 g

mc=5.84kg

A spring that is stretched 23 cm from its equilibrium point experiences a force of 103 N .Now much force is stored in the spring?

Answers

Answer

given,

spring is stretched = 23 cm

                             x = 0.23 m

Force experiences = 103 N

we know,

 F = k x

where k is the spring constant

 [tex]k =\dfrac{F}{x}[/tex]

 [tex]k =\dfrac{103}{0.23}[/tex]

       k = 447.83 N/m

Assuming we have to calculate the energy stored in the spring

energy stored in the spring

If the moon did not rotate at the same rate that it revolved, what would happen to the gravity of the earth?

Answers

Answer:

The gravity, which is an acceleration to the center of the earth, will be the same.

Explanation:

The gravity on earth depends only on the masses and distance, between two objects. We can see it in the gravitational force equation.  

[tex]F=G\frac{m\cdot M}{r^{2}}[/tex]  

Now if we put a man, with mass m, on the surface of the earth, with mass M, the distance from the center of mass and the man will be R (earth radius). Knowing that F = m*a, we can find the accelerations due to this mass M and this value will be 9.81 m/s².  

On the other hand, the moon has a gravity value and is less than the earth, because its mass, and affects the water sea due to the gravitational force between earth and moon. If the moon changes the rate of its rotate it changes probably the distance between them, let's recall they must conserve angular momentum, but the gravity won't be affected.

Therefore, the gravity, which is an acceleration to the center of the earth, will be the same.

How much elastic potential energy is stored in a bungee cord with a spring constant of 10.0 N/m when the cord is stretched 2.00 m?

Answers

Answer:

The elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J

Explanation:

potential energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its position. The S.I unit of energy is Joules. The mathematical expression for elastic potential energy is given below

E = 1/2ke²................ Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy of the spring, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension

Given: K = 10 N/m, e = 2.00 m

Substituting these values into Equation 1

E = 1/2(10)(2)²

E = 5×4

E = 20 Joules.

Therefore the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J

Final answer:

The elastic potential energy stored in a bungee cord with a spring constant of 10.0 N/m and stretched 2.00 m is 20.0 joules.

Explanation:

The amount of elastic potential energy stored in a bungee cord can be calculated using the formula for the potential energy in a spring: E = 1/2 kx², where E is the elastic potential energy, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position. In this case, with a spring constant of 10.0 N/m and a displacement of 2.00 m . Putting all these values into the equation we get the energy stored is E = 1/2 (10.0 N/m)(2.00 m)² = 20.0 J.

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. A listener in front of both speakers hears a maximum sound intensity when speaker 2 is at the origin and speaker 1 is at x = 0.540 m . If speaker 1 is slowly moved forward, the sound intensity decreases and then increases, reaching another maximum when speaker 1 is at x = 0.870 m.
A) What is the phase difference between the speakers?
B) What is the frequency of the sound? Assume velocity of sound is 340m/s.

Answers

Answer

given,

difference between the two consecutive maximum

λ = 0.870 - 0.540

λ = 0.33 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

b) frequency of the sound

v = f x λ

340 = f x 0.33

[tex]f =\dfrac{340}{0.33}[/tex]

    f = 1030.3 Hz

a) phase difference

  the expression of phase difference is given by

   [tex]\phi = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\ \delta[/tex]

   [tex]\delta = \Delta x - \lambda[/tex]

   [tex]\delta = 0.540 - 0.33[/tex]

   [tex]\delta = 0.21\ m[/tex]

now,

   [tex]\phi = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\ \times 0.21[/tex]

   [tex]\phi = \dfrac{2\pi}{0.33}\ \times 0.21[/tex]

   [tex]\phi = 3.99 rad[/tex]

Final answer:

The phase difference between the speakers is zero at both maxima, and the frequency of the sound waves is approximately 1030.3 Hz, calculated using the speed of sound and the measured wavelength.

Explanation:

When two loudspeakers emit sound waves that interfere constructively at certain points, it means the sound waves are in phase at those points, and the listener hears a maximum in sound intensity. The listener hears a maximum sound intensity when the path difference between the two speakers is an integer multiple of the wavelength.

The first maximum occurs when speaker 1 is at x = 0.540 m, and the second maximum occurs when speaker 1 is at x = 0.870 m. The distance between these two points is 0.330 m (0.870 m - 0.540 m), which corresponds to one wavelength, λ. Therefore, λ = 0.330 m.

Phase difference between the speakers is initially zero since they are in sync when speaker 1 is at 0.540 m. When speaker 1 is moved to 0.870 m, they are again in sync, indicating that speaker 1 has moved forward by one wavelength. The frequency of the sound can be determined using the equation for the speed of sound, v = fλ, where v is the speed of sound (340 m/s) and λ is the wavelength (0.330 m).

Calculating Frequency

The frequency is thus calculated as:

f = v / λ = 340 m/s / 0.330 m = approximately 1030.3 Hz.

Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 mi/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will:

Answers

Answer:

The object will continue to move in straight line at 50 mi/hr except it is acted upon by an external force

Explanation:

Newton First Law of motion: A body will continue in its present state of  rest or, if it is in motion will continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line unless it is acted upon by a force. Newton first law of motion is also called the law of inertia.

Inertia: This is the tendency of a body to remain in its states of rest or uniform motion.

From the question, The object moving in a straight line at 50 mi/hr will continue to move in a straight line at 50 mi/hr, except it is acted upon by external force that will change the speed of the object.

Final answer:

An object moving in a straight line at a constant speed will continue this state of motion until an external force is applied, according to Newton's first law.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object moving at a constant speed in a straight line will continue to do so until a net external force acts upon it. In the case of an object moving at 50 mi/hr in a straight line, it will maintain this motion and speed as long as no forces such as friction, air resistance, or another applied force interfere with its movement. This principle indicates that without external forces, there is no change in velocity (speed and direction).

What force must be provided to accelerate a 64-lb object upward at a rate of 2 ft/s2? (Use g = 32 ft/s2.)

Answers

Answer:

The force that must be provided to accelerate the object = 302.196 N

Explanation:

Force: Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N).

Ft - W = ma............ Equation 1

Ft = W + ma .......... Equation 2

Where Ft = force provided, W = weight of the object, m= mass of the object, a = acceleration of the object.

Given: mass = 64 lb, g = 32 ft/s² a = 2 ft/s²

Conversion: (i)  from 64 pounds to Kg = 64/2.2046

                      = 29.03 kg

  (ii)  from 2 ft/s² to m/s² = 0.3048 × 2 = 0.6098 m/s²

 (iii) from 32 ft/s² to m/s² = 0.3048×32 = 9.8 m/s².

and W = mg = 29.03 × 9.8 = 284.494 N,

Substituting these values into equation 2,

Ft = 284.494 + 29.03×0.6098

Ft = 284.494 + 17.7

Ft = 302.196 N

Therefore, the force that must be provided to accelerate the object = 302.196 N

Final answer:

To accelerate a 64-lb object upward at a rate of 2 ft/s², a force of approximately 3.974 lbf is required.

Explanation:

To find the force required to accelerate a 64-lb object upward at a rate of 2 ft/s², we need to use Newton's second law of motion. The formula for force is F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

First, convert the mass of the object from pounds to slugs. Since 1 slug is equal to the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² when acted upon by 1 lb of force, 1 slug is equal to 32.2 lbs. Therefore, the mass of the object is 64 lbs divided by 32.2 lbs/slugs, which is approximately 1.987 slugs.

Now, substitute the mass (m = 1.987 slugs) and the acceleration (a = 2 ft/s²) into the formula F = m * a. The force required to accelerate the object upward is approximately 3.974 lb-ft/s² or 3.974 lbf.

What is the final temperature in degrees centigrade of 100g of water at 30 c if it is mixed with 50 g of water at 0?

Answers

Answer:

The final temperature = 293 K or 20 °C

Explanation:

Heat gained by water at 0°C = heat lost by water at 30°C

c₁m₁(T₃ - T₁) = c₂m₂(T₂-T₃).......................... Equation 1

Making T₃ the subject of the equation,

T₃ = (c₂m₂T₂ + c₁m₁T₁)/(c₁m₁+c₂m₂)............. Equation 2

Where m₁ =mass of water at 0°C, c₁ = specific heat capacity of water at 0°C , c₂ = specific heat capacity of water at 30°C,  m₂ = mass of water at 30°C, T₁ = initial temperature of water at 0°C, T₂ = initial temperature of water at 30°C, T₃ = final temperature.

Given: m₁ = 50 g = (50/1000) kg = 0.05 kg, m₂ = 100 g = (100/1000) kg = 0.1 kg., T₁ = 0°C = 273 K, T₂ = 30°C = (30+273 )= 203 K

Constants: c₁ = c₂ = 4200 J/kg.K

Substituting these values into equation 2,

T₃ = (4200×0.1×303 + 4200×0.05×273)/(4200×0.1 + 4200×0.05)

T₃ = (127260 + 57330)/(420+210)

T₃ = 184590/630

T₃ = 293 K.

Therefore the final temperature = 293 K or 20 °C

In a popular classroom demonstration, a cotton ball is placed in the bottom of a strong test tube. A plunger fits inside the tube and it makes an air-tight seal. It is then pushed down very rapidly, and the cotton flashes and burns. This happens because ______.

Answers

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.  

[tex] P = kT [/tex]  

where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.

At what part of the cardiac conduction system does the electrical impulse travel most rapidly?

Answers

Answer:

Purkinje Fiber

Explanation:

In normal circumstances, the SA(sinoatrial) node the heart natural  pacemaker, produces electrical activity automatically. This electrical impulse is transmitted across the whole right atrium and into the bundle of Bachmann to the left atrium, arousing the atria's myocardium to contract. And the part through which  the electrical impulse travel most rapidly is called Purkrnje fibers, which is a specialized conducting fiber consisting of electrically excitable cells and these conduct cardiac action potentials more quickly and efficiently than any other cells in the heart.

Which of the following statements is true? 1. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has ruled that all future research use the one computer climate model that it has concluded is the best. 2. The worst-case scenario predicts that if global warming continues at its present rate, by 2050 the average annual temperature will have increased from 15°C to 20°C. 3. Most climate scientists believe that current temperature increases are due entirely to natural cycles of short-term climate changes. 4. Carbon dioxide concentration of the atmosphere has increased in the last century

Answers

Answer:

4.

Explanation:

Option number 4 is true out of all the options provided.

1. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has not ruled that all future research use the one computer climate model, and they have not concluded that it is the best.

2. The worst-case scenario predicts that global warming will increase the average temperature by 1.5°C - 2°C. Not from 15°C to 20°C.

3. Very few climate scientists believe that current temperature increases are due to natural cycles of short-term climate changes.

4. Over the past century, there has been an increase in industrial work, car and truck emissions, and the population of humans have increased dramatically. Add that to deforestation and there is a clear explanation as to why there has been an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air.

Final answer:

The correct statement is that the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has increased in the last century. The IPCC does not enforce a single climate model, and most climate scientists recognize anthropogenic factors in temperature rise, projecting an average global increase of 2°F to 11.5°F by 2100.

Explanation:

Of the statements presented, the last one is true: Carbon dioxide concentration of the atmosphere has increased in the last century. This is a well-documented fact, and the increase in CO2 levels is largely attributed to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) does not mandate the use of a single climate model but rather reviews and assesses the most recent scientific literature using a variety of models.

Furthermore, most climate scientists agree that the current temperature increases are not due solely to natural cycles but are significantly influenced by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Predicting exact future annual temperature increases is complex, but models generally project an average global temperature rise by 2100 of approximately 2°F to 11.5°F, which contradicts the second statement regarding a drastic 5°C increase by 2050. The projected temperature rise over land will be more rapid than over oceans and will vary from region to region.

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave ___ the frequency of the wave ________.

Answers

Answer:

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave _decrease__ the frequency of the wave _increase_______.

Explanation:

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.

That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave. The equation that relates wavelength and frequency is:

V= fλ

where v= velocity

           f= frequency

            λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ  

also f ∝ 1/λ

For electromagnetic radiation, the speed is equal to the speed of light, c, and the equation becomes:

C= fλ

where c= Speed of light

           f= frequency

            λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ  

also f ∝ 1/λ

A 1.0 kg block slides along a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 7.0 m/s. After sliding a distance of 2.0 m, the block makes a smooth transition to a frictionless ramp inclined at an angle of 40° to the horizontal.
How far up the ramp does the block slide before coming momentarily to rest?

Answers

Answer:

3.9 m

Explanation:

The principle of work and energy

ΔE = W  Formula (1)

where:

ΔE: mechanical energy change (J)

W : work of the non-conservative forces (J)

ΔE = Ef - E₀  

Ef : final mechanical energy

E₀   : initial mechanical energy

Ef = K f+ Uf

E₀ = K₀ + U₀

K =(1/2 )mv² :  Kinetic energy (J)

U = mgh  :Potential energy (J)

m: mass (kg)

v : speed (m/s)

h: hight (m)

Known data

m = 1 kg  : mass of the block

v₀ =  mg(h).0 m/s Initial speed of the block

vf = 0 = Final speed of the block

θ =40°  :angle θ of the ramp with respect to the horizontal direction

μk=0  : coefficient of kinetic friction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

 Problem development

W = 0 ,  Because the friction force (non-conservative force ) is zero

Principle of work and energy to the Block:

ΔE = W

Ef - E  = 0   Equation (1)

Ef = K f+ Uf =(1/2 )m(0)² + mg(h)=  mg(h)  (Joules)

E₀ = K₀ + U₀ = (1/2 )m(7)² + mg(0) = 24.5m (Joules)

In the equation (1) :

Ef =  E

mg(h) = 24.5m

We divided  by m both sides of the equation

g(h) = 24.5

h = 24.5 / g

h = 24.5 / 9.8

h = 2.5 m

We apply trigonometry at the ramp to calculate how far up the ramp (d) does the block slide before coming momentarily to rest :

sinθ = h/d

d = h / sinθ

d = 2.5 m / sin40°

d = 3.9 m

Final answer:

The distance the block slides up the ramp can be determined using the principle of energy conservation: initial kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy. The distance along the ramp is the height (calculated using the energy conservation equation) divided by the sine of the ramp's angle of inclination.

Explanation:

This is a problem of energy conservation. Initially, the block has some kinetic energy due to its speed and no potential energy. When it starts climbing the ramp, kinetic energy is transformed into gravitational potential energy. The block will come to rest when all the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy.

To determine how far up the ramp the block will slide, we use the equation of energy conservation: 1/2 * mass * speed^2 = mass * gravity * height. Given that we know the mass of the block (1.0 kg), its initial speed (7.0 m/s), and the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2), we can solve this equation to get the height as: height=1/2 * mass * speed^2 / (mass * gravity), which simplifies to height= 1/2 * speed^2 / gravity.

Once we get the height, we need to determine the distance along the ramp, which is the height divided by the sine of the ramp’s angle of inclination (40°). Thus, the distance = height / sin(40°).

When a car turns a corner on a level road, which force provides the necessary centripetal acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

The frictional force between the tire made with the road

Explanation:

This car on level ground is moving away and turning to the left. The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.

Final answer:

The force providing the necessary centripetal acceleration when a car turns a corner on a level road is the force of friction between the tires and the road. This force points towards the center of the curve, counteracting the centrifugal force and facilitating the turn.

Explanation:

When a car turns a corner on a level road, the force that provides the necessary centripetal acceleration is the force of friction between the car's tires and the road. This frictional force, which points towards the center of the curved path, prevents the car from moving in a larger-radius curve and leaving the road. The sharper the curve and the greater the car's speed, the more substantial this centripetal force becomes. For instance, your car pushes you toward the center of the turn when turning at high speeds or in sharp curves. This friction also counteracts the centrifugal force experienced by you which appears as if you are being pushed away from the center of the turn.

The force of friction is calculated using the equation f = Fc = μ₂N, where μ₂ is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force. The normal force equals the car's weight on level ground (N = mg), and therefore, in such a scenario, the centripetal force is Fc = f = μ₂mg.

If the distance between two asteroids is halved, the gravitational force they exert on each other will

a) Also be doubled
b) Be half as great
c) Be one fourth as great
d) Will be 1/16 as great
e) Be four times greater

Answers

Answer:

e) Be four times greater

Explanation:

Here we have to use Newton's gravitational law that relates the gravitational force between two objects with their masses ([tex]m_{1} [/tex] & [tex]m_{2} [/tex]) and the distance between them ([tex]r[/tex]) in the next way:

[tex] F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex] (2)

Now if distance between asteroids is halved:

[tex]F_{2}=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{(\frac{r}{2})^{2}} [/tex]

[tex]F_{2}=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{\frac{r^{2}}{4}} [/tex]

[tex]F_{2}=G\frac{4m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}=4G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}} [/tex]

Note that [tex] G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}} [/tex] because (1) is F so:

[tex]F_{2}=4F [/tex]

It's four times greater!

Final answer:

The gravitational force between two asteroids will be four times greater if the distance between them is halved, due to the inverse square law of gravitation.

Explanation:

When considering gravitational force between two objects, such as asteroids, we refer to Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

When the distance between two asteroids is halved, the gravitational force they exert on each other is not simply doubled or halved; it changes more drastically because the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In this case, the force becomes stronger by a factor of the square of the inverse of the change in distance. Halving the distance increases the force by a factor of four, since (1/2)^2 = 1/4, and inversely, the force is four times greater.

The correct answer to the given question is that if the distance between two asteroids is halved, the gravitational force they exert on each other will be four times greater. Therefore, the correct option is:

An object has a position given by r = [2.0 m + (5.00 m/s)t] i^ + [3.0m−(2.00 m/s2)t2] j^, where all quantities are in SI units. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the object at time t = 2.00 s?

Answers

Final answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the object at time t = 2.00 s is 6.40 m/s².

Explanation:

The magnitude of acceleration can be found by taking the second derivative of the position function with respect to time.

Given the position function r = [2.0 m + (5.00 m/s)t] i^ + [3.0m−(2.00 m/s²)t²] j^, we can differentiate it twice to get the acceleration function a(t) = 5.00 m/s i^ - 4.00 m/s² j^.

Plugging in t = 2.00 s gives us a(2.00 s) = 5.00 m/s i^ - 4.00 m/s² j^, and calculating the magnitude of this vector gives us 6.40 m/s² as the magnitude of acceleration at t = 2.00 s.

The magnitude of the acceleration of the object at [tex]\( t = 2.00 \, \text{s} \) is \( 4.00 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).[/tex]

To find the magnitude of the acceleration of the object at time [tex]\( t = 2.00 \, \text{s} \)[/tex], we first need to determine the acceleration vector from the given position vector. The position vector[tex]\( \mathbf{r}(t) \)[/tex]is given by:

[tex]\[\mathbf{r}(t) = [2.0 \, \text{m} + (5.00 \, \text{m/s})t] \hat{i} + [3.0 \, \text{m} - (2.00 \, \text{m/s}^2)t^2] \hat{j}\][/tex]

Find the Velocity Vector

The velocity vector [tex]\( \mathbf{v}(t) \)[/tex] is the time derivative of the position vector [tex]\( \mathbf{r}(t) \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[\mathbf{v}(t) = \frac{d\mathbf{r}(t)}{dt}\][/tex]

Differentiate each component with respect to time  t :

For the [tex]\( \hat{i} \)[/tex] component:

[tex]\[v_x(t) = \frac{d}{dt}[2.0 + (5.00 \, \text{m/s})t] = 5.00 \, \text{m/s}\][/tex]

For the[tex]\( \hat{j} \)[/tex] component:

[tex]\[v_y(t) = \frac{d}{dt}[3.0 - (2.00 \, \text{m/s}^2)t^2] = -2.00 \times 2t = -4.00 \, t \, \text{m/s}\][/tex]

So the velocity vector is:

[tex]\[\mathbf{v}(t) = (5.00 \, \text{m/s}) \hat{i} + (-4.00 \, t) \hat{j}\][/tex]

Find the Acceleration Vector

The acceleration vector[tex]\( \mathbf{a}(t) \)[/tex] is the time derivative of the velocity vector [tex]\( \mathbf{v}(t) \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[\mathbf{a}(t) = \frac{d\mathbf{v}(t)}{dt}\][/tex]

Differentiate each component with respect to time t:

For the [tex]\( \hat{i} \)[/tex]component:

[tex]\[a_x(t) = \frac{d}{dt}[5.00] = 0 \, \text{m/s}^2\][/tex]

For the [tex]\( \hat{j} \)[/tex] component:

[tex]\[a_y(t) = \frac{d}{dt}[-4.00 \, t] = -4.00 \, \text{m/s}^2\][/tex]

So the acceleration vector is:

[tex]\[\mathbf{a}(t) = 0 \hat{i} - 4.00 \hat{j}\][/tex]

Calculate the Magnitude of the Acceleration

The magnitude of the acceleration [tex]\( |\mathbf{a}(t)| \)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[|\mathbf{a}(t)| = \sqrt{a_x^2 + a_y^2}\][/tex]

Substitute[tex]\( a_x = 0 \) and \( a_y = -4.00 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[|\mathbf{a}(t)| = \sqrt{0^2 + (-4.00)^2} = \sqrt{16.00} = 4.00 \, \text{m/s}^2\][/tex]
