In an attempt to reduce the extraordinarily long travel times for voyaging to distant stars, some people have suggested traveling at close to the speed of light. Suppose you wish to visit the red giant star Betelgeuse, which is 430 lyly away, and that you want your 20,000 kgkg rocket to move so fast that you age only 36 years during the round trip.
A. How fast (v) must the rocket travel relative to earth?
B. How much energy is needed to accelerate the rocket to this speed?
C. How many times larger is this energy than the total energy used by the United States in the year 2000, which was roughly 1.0 x 10^20 J?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) [tex]v=0.999124c[/tex]

b) [tex]E=7.566*10^{22}[/tex]

c) [tex]E_a=760 times\ larger[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance to Betelgeuse [tex]d_b=430ly[/tex]

Mass of Rocket [tex]M_r=20000[/tex]

Total Time in years traveled [tex]T_d=36years[/tex]

Total energy used by the United States in the year 2000 [tex]E_{2000}=1.0*10^20[/tex]

Generally the equation of speed of rocket v mathematically given by

[tex]v=\frac{2d}{\triangle t}[/tex]

[tex]v=860ly/ \triangle t[/tex]

where

[tex]\triangle t=\frac{\triangle t'}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle t=\frac{36}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle t=\sqrt{(860)^2+(36)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle t=860.7532[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]v=\frac{860ly}{ 860.7532}[/tex]

[tex]v=0.999124c[/tex]

b)

Generally the equation of the energy E required to attain prior speed mathematically given by

[tex]E=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} }-1(20000kg)(3*10^8m/s)^2[/tex]

[tex]E=7.566*10^{22}[/tex]

c)Generally the equation of the energy [tex]E_a[/tex] required to accelerate the rocket mathematically given by

[tex]E_a=\frac{E}{E_{2000}}[/tex]

[tex]E_a=\frac{7.566*10^{22}}{1.0*10^{20}}[/tex]

[tex]E_a=760 times\ larger[/tex]

A classic demonstration illustrating eddy currents is performed by dropping a permanent magnet inside a conducting cylinder. The magnet does not go into free fall. Instead it reaches terminal velocity and can take a few seconds to drop a length of about a meter. Suppose the mass of the magnet is 70 g and width of 1.0 cm. It falls with a terminal velocity of 10 cm/s and the length of the pipe is 80 cm. The magnitude of the Joule heating from the eddy currents is approximately:________

Answers

Answer:

The correct solution is "0.69 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of magnet,

m = 70 g

or,

   = 0.07 kg

Width,

= 1.0 cm

Velocity,

= 10 cm/s

Length of the pipe,

= 80 cm

Whenever the velocity is constant, then the net force which is acting on the magnet will be "0".

On the magnet,

The up-ward force will be:

⇒  [tex]F=mg[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      [tex]=0.07\times 9.8[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=0.69 \ N[/tex]

Answer:

A, and E

Explanation:

Choose the statement(s) that are FALSE. A. An object will undergo constant acceleration if it is in equilibrium. B. Subject to the same net force, a larger mass will accelerate at a greater rate than a smaller mass. C. If the vector sum of the forces on an object is not zero, the object is in equilibrium. D. A net force of 125 N acts horizontally on an object that weighs 125 N. Therefore, the object does not accelerate. E. If an object is at rest, then there are no forces acting on the object. F. None of these statements are false.

Answers

Answer:

A, B, C, D and E

Explanation:

A. An object will undergo constant acceleration if it is in equilibrium.

This is false because an object in equilibrium has no acceleration.  

B. Subject to the same net force, a larger mass will accelerate at a greater rate than a smaller mass.

This is false because, since F = ma and a = F/m where a is acceleration and m = mass. Since F is constant, a ∝ 1/m. So acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. So, the smaller mass would accelerate at a greater rate than the larger mass.

C. If the vector sum of the forces on an object is not zero, the object is in equilibrium.

This is false because an object can only be in equilibrium if the vector sum of the forces acting on it is zero.

D. A net force of 125 N acts horizontally on an object that weighs 125 N. Therefore, the object does not accelerate.

This is false because, the weight acts in the vertical direction and has no effect in the horizontal direction. The only forces in the horizontal direction are the frictional force and the 125 N horizontally applied force.

The objects accelerates if the 125 N applied force is greater than the frictional force and since frictional force = μN = μW where μ = coefficient of friction, N = normal force and W = weight of the object. Since μ < 1, f < W. So f < 125 N. So, the object accelerates.

E. If an object is at rest, then there are no forces acting on the object.

This is false because, an object might be at rest when the net force acting on it is zero not only when no force acts on it.

Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room or a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1250 W/m^2.

Required:
What angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 33% of the original value?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "[tex]35.6^{\circ}[/tex]"

Explanation:

The sunlight level of the first panel:

[tex]I_1 = \frac{I_o}{2}[/tex]

When the light of this intensity passes through the second window:

[tex]I_2 = I_1 \cos^2 \theta\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} \cos^2 \theta[/tex]

 [tex]\frac{I_2}{I_o} = 0.33 (33\%) \\\\[/tex]

therefore,  

[tex]0.33 = \frac{1}{2} \cos^2 \theta\\\\\cos^2 \theta = 0.66\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{0.66} = 0.8124\\\\\theta = \cos^{-1}( 0.8124) = 35.6^{\circ}\\\\[/tex]

A 100-n object and a 50-n object are placed on scales a and b respectively inside an elevator ascending with constant velocity 3.0m/s which statement below correctly describes the readings on the scales inside the elevator

Answers

Answer: b

Explanation:

The reading of the scale of the elevator  ascending with constant velocity is 150 N.

Reading of the scale

The reading of the scale on the elevaor is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

R = m(a + g)

R = ma + mg

R = F + W

where;

a is the acceleration of the objects

At constant velocity, the acceleration of the object is zero (0).

R = 0 + 100 + 50

R = 150 N

Thus, the reading of the scale of the elevator  ascending with constant velocity is 150 N.

The 10-lb block A attains a velocity of 2ft/s in 5 seconds, starting from rest. Determine the tension in the cord and the coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the horizontal plane. Neglect the weight of the pulley. Block B has a weight of 8 lb. Please work on this by using the principle of linear impulse-momentum

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension in the cord.

Impulse by cord = change in momentum of block A .

T x 5s = 10 ( 2 -0) = 20

T = 4 poundal .

acceleration of block B = 2 / 5 = 0.4 m /s²

Net force applied on A = m ( g + a ) where m is mass of block B , a is acceleration of block B .

= 8 ( 32 + .4 ) = 259.2 poundal

Frictional force on block A = 259.2 - 4 = 255.2 poundal

μ x 10 x 32 = 255.2

320μ = 255.2

μ =0 .8 .

[tex]P_2[/tex] = Pressure at outlet = 101 kPa

[tex]\rho[/tex] = Density of kerosene = [tex]750\ \text{kg/m}^3[/tex]

What is the wavelength associated with 0.113kg ball traveling with velocity of 43 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

Wavelength = 1.36 * 10^{-34} meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 0.113 kg

Velocity = 43 m/s

To find the wavelength, we would use the De Broglie's wave equation.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

[tex] Wavelength = \frac {h}{mv} [/tex]

Where;

h represents Planck’s constant.

m represents the mass of the particle.

v represents the velocity of the particle.

We know that Planck’s constant = 6.6262 * 10^{-34} Js

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] Wavelength = \frac {6.6262 * 10^{-34}}{0.113*43} [/tex]

[tex] Wavelength = \frac {6.6262 * 10^{-34}}{4.859} [/tex]

Wavelength = 1.36 * 10^{-34} meters

A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is trans- formed 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 fore. Ultimately the board breaks at an applied force of 800 N and a deflection of 1.2 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 dis- tance of 1.2 cm, what is the average force on the hand?

Answers

(a) The velocity is "6.2 m/s".

(b) The average force is "800.83 N".

According to the question,

Force,

F = 800 N

Deflection,

x = 1.2 cm

           = [tex]1.2\times 10^{-2} \ m[/tex]

As we know,

The work done,

→ [tex]W = F\times d[/tex]

       [tex]= 800\times 1.2\times 10^{-2}[/tex]

       [tex]= 9.6 \ J[/tex]

(a)

Given:

Mass of hand,

m = 0.50 kg

Now,

→ [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = 9.6 \ J[/tex]

         [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.6}{0.50} }[/tex]

            [tex]= 6.2 \ m/s[/tex]

(b)

→ [tex]v^2 = u^2 +2ax[/tex]

→ [tex]a= \frac{v^2}{2x}[/tex]

     [tex]= \frac{(6.2)^2}{2\times 1.2\times 10^{-2}}[/tex]

     [tex]= 1601.67 \ m/s^2[/tex]

hence,

The average force will be:

→ [tex]F_{avg} = m\times a[/tex]

           [tex]= 0.50\times 1601.67[/tex]

           [tex]= 800.83 \ N[/tex]
