Answer:
(a) the change in length of the silk is 0.001585 cm
(b) the maximum weight that a single thread can support is 17.67 N
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the spider, m = 0.50 g = 0.5 x 10⁻³ kg
length of the silk, L = 12 mm = 0.012 m
diameter of the silk, d = 0.15 mm
radius of the silk, r = d / 2 = 0.075 mm = 0.075 x 10⁻³ m
The cross sectional area of the silk;
A = πr² = π(0.075 x 10⁻³)²
A = 1.767 x 10⁻⁸ m²
The Young's modulus of elasticity of spider-silk is given by;
2.1 Gpa = 2.1 x 10⁹ N/m²
(a)
Apply Young's modulus of elasticity equation to determine the change in length of the silk;
[tex]E = \frac{FL}{Ax} = \frac{F_gL}{Ax}\\\\x = \frac{F_gL}{AE}\\\\x = \frac{(0.5*10^{-3}*9.8)(0.12)}{(2.1*10^9)(1.767*10^{-8})}\\\\x = 1.585*10^{-5} \ m\\\\x = 0.01585 \ mm[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.001585 \ cm[/tex]
(b)
the maximum weight that a single thread can support is given by;
[tex]T_{tensile \ strength} = \frac{F_{max}}{A}[/tex]
The tensile strength of spider-silk is given by 1 Gpa = 1 x 10⁹ N/m²
[tex]F_{max} = T_{tensile \ strength}*A\\\\F_{max} = (1*10^9)(1.767*10^{-8})\\\\F_{max} = 17.67 \ N[/tex]

Explanation:
If a ball rolls across a table to the left with constant speed, which of the following is true about the force(s) on the ball? (3a1)
Question 10 options:
There cannot be any forces applied to the ball.
There must be exactly one force applied to the ball.
The net force applied to the ball is zero.
The net force applied to the ball is directed to the right.
Answer:
C. The net force applied to the ball is zero.
Explanation:
From Newton's second law of motion;
F = ma
Where F is the force on an object, m is its mass and a is its acceleration.
Therefore, the force on an object is a product of its mass and acceleration as it travel from one point to another.
Since acceleration relates to the rate of change in velocity to time. Then when the object moves at uniform velocity (especially along a straight path), its acceleration is zero.
So that;
F = m x 0
= 0
No force is applied on the object.
Therefore for the ball in the given question, the net force applied to the ball is zero because it rolls with constant speed along a straight path.
When two RF signals on the same frequency arrive at a receiver at the exact same time and their peaks and valleys are in alignment, what is true about these signals?
Answer:
The two RF signals are in phase.
Explanation:
A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium which transfers energy from one point to another in the medium without causing any permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.
Characteristics of waves include frequency, wavelength, velocity, etc.
Two types of waves are longitudinal and transverse wave. Radio Frequency (RF) signals travel in the form of transverse waves which have regions of maximum and minimum displacements called crests and troughs.
Travelling waves with the same frequency may be said to be in phase or out of phase depending on whether their crests/peaks or troughs/valleys are reached at the same instant of time.
When two RF signals on the same frequency arrive at a receiver at the exact same time and their peaks and valleys are in alignment or in step, they are said to be in phase.
The phase of a wave involves the relationship between the position of the amplitude peaks and valleys of two waveforms.
A mass of 100 g is tied to the end of an 80.0-cm string and swings in a vertical circle about a fixed center under the influence of gravity. The speed of the mass at the top of the swing is 3.50 m/s. What is the speed of the mass at the bottom of its swing?
Answer:
the speed of the mass at the bottom of its swing is 6.61m/s
Explanation:
Applying energy conservation
[tex]\frac{1}{2}m(Vlowest)^2 = mg(2R) + \frac{1}{2}m(Vtop)^2[/tex]
There is no potential energy at the bottom as the body will have a kinetic energy there.
h= 2R = 1.6m as the diameter of the circle will represent the height in the circle.
g = 9.8m/s^2
m will cancel out, so the net equation becomes.
[tex]\frac{(Vbottom)^2}{2} = 2gR + \frac{(Vtop)^2}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]2*9.8*0.8 + \frac{(3.5)^2}{2}[/tex]
= 15.68+ 6.125
[tex]\frac{(Vbottom)^2 }{2}[/tex] = 21.805
(Vb)^2 = 2*21.805
= 43.64
Vb = 6.61m/s
A typical elevator car with people has a mass of 1500.0 kg. Elevators are currently approaching speeds of 20.0 m/s - faster than the speed.
Required:
What is the upward force required if the elevator moves upward 200.0 meters before reaching 20.0 m/s?
Answer:
1500NExplanation:
Force = mass * acceleration
Given
Mass = 1500kg
Get the acceleration using the equation of motion;
v² = u²+2aS
20² = 0+2s(200)
400 = 400a
a = 400/400
a = 1m/s²
Get the upward force required
F = 1500 * 1
F = 1500N
Hence the upward force required if the elevator moves upward 200.0 meters before reaching 20.0 m/s is 1500N
A 36.3 kg cart has a velocity of 3 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the object have?
Answer:
163.35
__________________________________________________________
We are given:
Mass of the object (m) = 36.3 kg
Velocity of the object (v) = 3 m/s
Kinetic Energy of the object:
We know that:
Kinetic Energy = 1/2(mv²)
KE = 1/2(36.3)(3)² [replacing the variables with the given values]
KE = 18.15 * 9
KE = 163.35 Joules
Hence, the cart has a Kinetic Energy of 163.35 Joules
if you increase the frequency of a wave by 5x whats it’s period?
We know that Period of a wave is the inverse of its Frequency
So, Period = 1 / Frequency
From the above, we can say that Period is inversely proportional to Frequency and hence, any change in Frequency will be the inverse change in the period
Therefore, we can say that if the frequency is increased by 5 times, the period will increase by 1/5 times
A parallel plate capacitor is made up of two metal squares with sides of length 8.8 cm, separated by a distance 5.0 mm. When a voltage 187 V is set up across the terminals of the capacitor, the charge stored on the positive plate is equal to __________ nC. g
Answer:
2.56 nC
Explanation:
By definition, the capacitance is expressed by the following relationship between the charge stored on one of the plates of the capacitor and the potential difference between them, as follows:[tex]C =\frac{Q}{V} (1)[/tex]
For a parallel-plate capacitor, assuming a uniform surface charge density σ, if the area of the plates is A, the charge on one of the plates can be written as follows:[tex]Q = \sigma * A (2)[/tex]
Assuming an uniform electric field E, the potential difference V can be expressed as follows:[tex]V = E*d (3)[/tex]
where d is the distance between plates.
Applying Gauss 'Law to a closed surface half within one plate, half outside it, we find that E can be written as follows:[tex]E =\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_{0}} (4)[/tex]
Replacing (4) in (3), and (2) in (1), we can express the capacitance C as follows:[tex]C= \frac{\epsilon_{0}*A}{d} (5)[/tex]
Taking (1) and (5), as both left sides are equal each other, the right sides are also equal, so we can write the following equality:[tex]\frac{Q}{V} = \frac{\epsilon_{0}*A}{d} (6)[/tex]
Solving for Q, we get:[tex]Q = \frac{\epsilon_{0}*A*V}{d} = \frac{8.85e-12F/m*(0.088m)^{2}*187 V}{5.0e-3m} = 2.56 nC[/tex]

What is Centripetal Acceleration?Centripetal acceleration is defined as the property of the motion of an object which traversing a circular path.
Any object that is moving in a circle and has an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle is known as Centripetal acceleration.
The centripetal acceleration is given by:
a = 4π²R/T²
Given values are:
a = 47.8 m/s²
D = 0.76 m so , R = 0.76/2 = 0.38m
Using this formula,
47.8*T² = 4π² x0.38
T² = [tex]\frac{4*3.14^2*0.38}{47.8}[/tex]
T = 0.56 s
Therefore,

g When the movable mirror of the Michelson interferometer is moved a small distance X while making a measurement, 246 fringes are counted moving into the field of the viewing mirror. What is X if the wavelength of the light entering the interferometer is 562 nm
Answer:
X = 69.1 x 10⁻⁶ m = 69.1 μm
Explanation:
The relationship between the motion of the moveable mirror and the fringe count of the Michelson's Interferometer is given by the following formula:
d = mλ/2
where,
d = distance moved by the mirror = X = ?
m = No. of Fringes counted = 246
λ = wavelength of light entering interferometer = 562 nm = 5.62 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
X = (246)(5.62 x 10⁻⁷ m)/2
Therefore,
X = 69.1 x 10⁻⁶ m = 69.1 μm

Answer:
V₀ = 45.81 m/s
H = 70.45 m
T = 5.36 s
Explanation:
The motion of the spare is projectile motion. Therefore, we will first use the formula of range of projectile:
R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g
where,
R = Range of Projectile = 201.24 m
V₀ = Initial Speed = ?
θ = Launch Angle = 35°
g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
201.24 m = V₀²[Sin 2(35°)]/9.8 m/s²
V₀ = √[(201.24 m)/(0.095 m/s²)
V₀ = 45.81 m/s
Now, for maximum height:
H = V₀² Sin² θ/g
H = (45.81 m/s)² Sin² 35°/9.8 m/s²
H = 70.45 m
For the total time of flight:
T = 2 V₀ Sin θ/g
T = 2(45.81 m/s) Sin 35°/9.8 m/s²
T = 5.36 s
Your teacher placed a 3.5 kg block at the position marked with a “ + ” (horizontally, 0.5 m from the origin) on a large incline outlined on the graph below and let it slide, starting from rest. ***There are two images included!***
Answer:
x = 10.75 m
Explanation:
For this problem we will solve it in two parts, the first using energy and the second with kinematics
Let's use the energy work relationship to find the velocity of the block as it exits the ramp
W = [tex]Em_{f}[/tex] - Em₀
Starting point. Higher
Em₀ = U = m g h
the height from the edge of the ramp of the graph has a value
h = 9-3 = 6 m
Final point. At the bottom of the ramp
Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²
Friction force work
W = - fr d
The friction force has the formula
fr = μ N
On the ramp, we can use Newton's second law
N - W cos θ = 0
N = W cos θ
where the angle is obtained from the graph
tan θ = (9-3) / (0.5-4) = -6 / 3.5
θ = tan⁻¹ (-1,714)
θ = -59.7º
the distance d is
d = √ (Δx² + Δy²)
d = √ [(0.5-4)² + (9-3)²]
d = 6.95 m
for which the work is
W = - μ mg cos 59.7 d
we substitute
W = Em_{f} -Em₀
- μ mg cos 59.7 d = ½ m v² - m g h
In the graph o text the value of the friction coefficient is not observed, suppose that it is μvery = 0.2
- μ g cos 59.7 d = ½ v² - g h
v² = 2g (h - very d coss 59.7)
let's calculate
v² = 2 9.8 (6 - 0.2 6.95 cos 59.7)
v = √ 103.8546
v = 10.19 m / s
in the same direction as the ramp
in the second part we use projectile launch kinematics
let's look for the components of velocity
v₀ₓ = vo cos -59.7
[tex]v_{oy}[/tex] = vo sin (-59,7)
v₀ₓ = 10.19 cos (-59.7) = 5.14 m / s
v_{oy} = 10.19 if (-59.7) = -8.798 m / s
Let's find the time to get to the floor (y = o)
y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²
to de groph y₀=3 m
0 = 3 - 8.798 t - ½ 9.8 t²
t² - 1.796 t - 0.612 = 0
we solve the quadratic equation
t = [1.796 ±√(1.796² + 4 0.612)] / 2
t = [1,795 ± 2,382] / 2
t₁ = 2.09 s
t₂ = -0.29 s
since time must be a positive quantity the correct value is t = 2.09 s
we calculate the horizontal displacement
x = v₀ₓ t
x = 5.14 2.09
x = 10.75 m
The motion of the box, after it exits the incline is the motion and trajectory
of a projectile.
Horizontal distance from the right-hand edge of the incline to the point of
contact with the floor is approximately 1.24613 m.
Reasons:
Mass of the block, m = 3.5 kg
Coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 1.2
Location of the = 0.5 m from the origin
Required:
Horizontal distance between the block's point of contact with the floor and
the bottom right-hand edge of the incline.
Solution:
Let θ represent the angle the incline make with the horizontal.
The normal reaction of the incline on the block, [tex]F_N[/tex] = m·g·cos(θ)
Work done on friction = [tex]F_N[/tex]×μ×Length of the incline, L
Rise of the incline = 10 - 3 = 7
Run of the incline = 4
L = √(6.125² + 3.5²) = [tex]\dfrac{7 \times \sqrt{65} }{8}[/tex]
Let ΔP.E.₁ represent the potential energy transferred to kinetic energy
and work along the incline, we have;
Energy of the block at the bottom of the incline, M.E.₂, is found as follows;
K.E.₂ = mgh - m·g·μ·cos(θ)·L
[tex]K.E. =\frac{1}{2} \times 3.5 \times v^2 = 3.5 \times 9.81 \times 6.125 - 3.5 \times 9.81 \times 1.2 \times \dfrac{4}{\sqrt{65} } \times \dfrac{7 \times \sqrt{65} }{8}[/tex]
v ≈ 6.1456 m/s
The vertical component of the velocity is therefore;
[tex]v_y = v \cdot sin(\theta)[/tex]
[tex]v_y = 6.1456 \times \dfrac{7}{\sqrt{65} } \approx 5.33588[/tex]
From the equation, h = u·t + 0.5·g·t² derived from Newton's Laws of motion, we have;
ΔP.E.₁ = 3.5×9.81×7
3 = 5.33588·t + 0.5×9.81·t²
Factorizing, the above quadratic equation, we get;
The time it takes the block to reach the floor, t ≈ 0.40869 seconds
Horizontal component of the velocity is [tex]v_x \approx 6.1456 \times \dfrac{4}{\sqrt{65} } \approx 3.04908[/tex]
The horizontal distance, x = vₓ × t
∴ x = 3.04908 × 0.40869 ≈ 1.08194
Horizontal distance from the right-hand edge of the incline to the point of
contact with the floor, x ≈ 1.24613 m.

If it requires 7.0 J of work to stretch a particular spring by 1.8 cm from its equilibrium length, how much more work will be required to stretch it an additional 3.6 cm?
Answer:
56 J
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Energy 1 (E₁) = 7 J
Extention 1 (e₁) = 1.8 cm
Extention 2 (e₂) = 1.8 + 3.6 = 5.4 cm
Energy 2 (E₂) =?
Energy stored in a spring is given by the following equation:
E = ke²
Where E is the energy.
K is the spring constant.
e is the extension.
E = ke²
Divide both side by e²
K = E/e²
Thus,
E₁/e₁² = E₂/e₂²
7/ 1.8² = E₂/ 5.4²
7 / 3.24 = E₂/ 29.16
Cross multiply
3.24 × E₂ = 7 × 29.16
3.24 × E₂ = 204.12
Divide both side by 3.24
E₂ = 204.12 / 3.24
E₂ = 63 J
Thus, the additional energy required can be obtained as follow:
Energy 1 (E₁) = 7 J
Energy 2 (E₂) = 63 J
Additional energy = 63 – 7
Additional energy = 56 J

Explanation:
We will now determine the indexes of refraction for two Mystery materials, A and B. These materials can be selected from the list of materials on the right. Be sure to set your laser pointer to a frequency of 589 nm. Questions:A. Devise an experiment for determining the indices of refraction for these. Explain your methodology. B. What are the indices of refraction for the two mystery materials, A and B?
Answer:
A) refraction experiment n = n₁ sin θ₁ / sin θ₂
B) n_A = 1.19 , n_B = 1.53
Explanation:
A) This exercise is a method to measure the refractive index of materials, a very useful and simple procedure is to create a plate of known thickness from each material, place the material on a paper with angle measurements (protractor), incline the laser beam and measure the angles of incidence and refraction (within the material), repeat for about three different angles of incidence and use the equation of refraction to determine the index
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂
n₂ = n₁ sin θ₁₁ /sin θ₂
If the medium surrounding the plate is air, its refractive index is n₁ = 1, the final expression is
n = n₁ sin θ₁ / sin θ₂
B) For this part, no data are given in the exercise, but we can take 50º as the angle of incidence and measure the angle of refraction. Suppose it is 40º for material A and 30º for material B, the refractive index would be
material A
n_A = sin 50 / sin 40
n_A = 1.19
material B
n_B = sin 50 / sin30
n_B = 1.53
Section 4.1- Newton's First Law
Answer:
Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. ... If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest.
Explanation:
Answer:
Newton's First Law is about inertia; objects at rest stay at rest unless acted upon and objects in motion continue that motion in a straight line unless acted upon. The amount of inertia an object has is simply related to the mass of the object.
Find the mass of an object on planet F if its weight is 650 N (g = 13m/s^2)
Answer:
the object's mass is 50 kg
Explanation:
We use Newton's second law to solve for the mass:
F = m * a , then m = F / a
In our case, the acceleration is the gravitational acceleration on the planet, and the force is the weight of the object on the planet. So we get:
m = w / a = 650 N / 13 m/s^2 = 50 kg
Then, the object's mass is 50 kg.
