Answer:
k = 1400.4 N / m
Explanation:
When the springs are oscillating a simple harmonic motion is created where the angular velocity is
w² = k / m
w = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }[/tex]
where angular velocity, frequency and period are related
w = 2π f = 2π / T
we substitute
2π / T = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }
T² = 4π² [tex]\frac{m}{k}[/tex]
k = π² [tex]\frac{m}{T^{2} }[/tex]
in this case the period is T = 1.14s, the combined mass of the children is
m = 92.2 kg and the constant of the two springs is
k = 4π² 92.2 / 1.14²
k = 2800.8 N / m
to find the constant of each spring let's use the equilibrium condition
F₁ + F₂ - W = 0
k x + k x = W
indicate that the compression of the two springs is the same, so we could replace these subtraction by another with an equivalent cosecant
(k + k) x = W
2k x = W
k_eq = 2k
k = k_eq / 2
k = 2800.8 / 2
k = 1400.4 N / m
A student is provided with a battery-powered toy car that the manufacturer claims will always operate at a constant speed. The student must design an experiment in order to test the validity of the claim. Which of the following measuring tools can the student use to test the validity of the claim?
a. Photogates placed at the beginning, end, and at various locations along the track that the car travels on.
b. A meterstick to measure the distance of the track that the car travels on.
c. A motion detector that is oriented perpendicular to the direction that the car travels.
d. A mass balance to determine the mass of the car
Answer:
a. Photogates placed at the beginning, end, and at various locations along the track that the car travels on.
b. A meterstick to measure the distance of the track that the car travels on.
Explanation:
Physics can be defined as the field or branch of science that typically deals with nature and properties of matter, motion and energy with respect to space, force and time.
In this scenario, a student is provided with a battery-powered toy car that the manufacturer claims will always operate at a constant speed. The student must design an experiment in order to test the validity of the claim.
Therefore, to test the validity of the claim, the student should use the following measuring tools;
a. Photogates placed at the beginning, end, and at various locations along the track that the car travels on. This device is typically used to measure time with respect to the rate of change of the interruption or block of an infra-red beam.
b. A meterstick to measure the distance of the track that the car travels on.
Hence, with these two devices the student can effectively measure or determine the validity of the claim.
A mysterious crate has shown up at your place of work, Firecracker Company, and you are told to measure its inertia. It is too heavy to lift, but it rolls smoothly on casters. Getting an inspiration, you lightly tape a 0.60-kg iron block to the side of the crate, slide a firecracker between the crate and the block, and light the fuse. When the firecracker explodes, the block goes one way and the crate rolls the other way. You measure the crate's speed to be 0.058 m/s by timing how long it takes to cross floor tiles. You look up the specifications of the firecracker and find that it releases 7 J of energy. That's all you need, and you quickly calculate the inertia of the crate.
What is that inertia?
Answer:
the inertia of the crate is (49.67 kg)r²
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
First; we will use the law of conservation of momentum to determine the mass of the crate;
m₁v₁ - m₂v₂ = 0
given that; m₁ = 0.60 kg and v₂ = 0.058 m/s
we substitute
0.60 × v₁ = m₂ × 0.058 = 0
m₂ = 0.60v₁ / 0.058 ----------- EQU 1
Next, we use the energy conservation relation to find the velocity
According to conservation of energy;
1/2m₁v₁² + 1/2m₂v₂² = 7 J
we substitute
1/2×0.60×v₁² + 1/2×m₂×(0.058)² = 7 J
0.3v₁² + 0.001682m₂ = 7 J ----- EQU 2
substitute value of m₂ form equ 1 into equ 2
0.3v₁² + 0.001682(0.60v₁ / 0.058) = 7 J
0.3v₁² + 0.0174v₁ = 7 J
0.3v₁² + 0.0174v₁ - 7 J = 0
we solve the quadratic equation;
{ x = [-b±√( b² - 4ac)] / 2a }
v₁ = [-0.0174 ±√( 0.0174² - 4×0.3×-7)] / 2×0.3
= [-0.0174 ±√(8.4003)] / 0.6
= [-0.0174 ± 2.8983 ] / 0.6
= -4.8595 or 4.8015 but{ v₁ ≠ - }
so v₁ = 4.8015 m/s ≈ 4.802 m/s
next we input value of v₁ into equation 1
m₂ = (0.60×4.8015) / 0.058
m₂ = 2.8809 / 0.058
m₂ = 49.67 kg
So, the moment of inertia of the crate will be;
I₂ = m₂r²
we substitute value of m₂
I₂ = (49.67 kg)r²
Therefore, the inertia of the crate is (49.67 kg)r²

How much force is needed to accelerate a 65 kg rider AND her 215 kg motor scooter 8 m/s?? (treat
the masses as like terms)
Answer:
Force = 2240 Newton.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass A= 65kg
Mass B = 215kg
Acceleration = 8m/s²
To find the force;
Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, Force is;
[tex] F = ma[/tex]
Where;
F represents force.
m represents the mass of an object.
a represents acceleration.
First of all, we would have to find the total mass.
Total mass = Mass A + Mass B
Total mass = 65 + 215
Total mass = 280kg
Substituting into the equation, we have
[tex] Force = 280 * 8 [/tex]
Force = 2240 Newton.
6 A test of a driver's perception/reaction time is being conducted on a special testing track with level, wet pavement and a driving speed of 50 mi/h. When the driver is sober, a stop can be made just in time to avoid hitting an object that is first visible 385 ft ahead. After a few drinks under exactly the same conditions, the driver fails to stop in time and strikes the object at a speed of 30 mi/h. Determine the driver's perception/reaction time before and after drinking. (Assume practical stopping distance.)
Answer:
a. 10.5 s b. 6.6 s
Explanation:
a. The driver's perception/reaction time before drinking.
To find the driver's perception time before drinking, we first find his deceleration from
v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 0 m/s (since he stops), a = deceleration of driver and s = distance moved by driver = 385 ft = 385 × 0.3048 m = 117.35 m
So, a = v² - u²/2s
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
a = v² - u²/2s
a = (0 m/s)² - (22.35 m/s)²/2(117.35 m)
a = - 499.52 m²/s²/234.7 m
a = -2.13 m/s²
Using a = (v - u)/t where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 0 m/s (since he stops), a = deceleration of driver = -2.13 m/s² and t = reaction time
So, t = (v - u)/a
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
t = (0 m/s - 22.35 m/s)/-2.13 m/s²
t = - 22.35 m/s/-2.13 m/s²
t = 10.5 s
b. The driver's perception/reaction time after drinking.
To find the driver's perception time after drinking, we first find his deceleration from
v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 30 mi/h = 30 × 1609 m/3600 s = 13.41 m/s, a = deceleration of driver and s = distance moved by driver = 385 ft = 385 × 0.3048 m = 117.35 m
So, a = v² - u²/2s
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
a = v² - u²/2s
a = (13.41 m/s)² - (22.35 m/s)²/2(117.35 m)
a = 179.83 m²/s² - 499.52 m²/s²/234.7 m
a = -319.69 m²/s² ÷ 234.7 m
a = -1.36 m/s²
Using a = (v - u)/t where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 30 mi/h = 30 × 1609 m/3600 s = 13.41 m/s, a = deceleration of driver = -1.36 m/s² and t = reaction time
So, t = (v - u)/a
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
t = (13.41 m/s - 22.35 m/s)/-1.36 m/s²
t = - 8.94 m/s/-1.36 m/s²
t = 6.6 s

Magnetic field due to current at a distance of 4.4 cm
B = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 5.2 / 4.4 x 10⁻² [ B = 10⁻⁷ x 2i / r = ]
= 2.36 x 10⁻⁵ T.
Force on moving electron = Bqv , B is magnetic field , q is charge and v is velocity of charge .
Force = 2.36 x 10⁻⁵ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 6.2 x 10⁴
= 23.41 x 10⁻²⁰ N .
This force will be perpendicular to the direction of current .

Your answer
he potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(s) = 2.6/x^8 - 4.3/x^4 where the units of x are length and the numbers 2.G and 4.3 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What b the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)?
Answer:
x = 1.04866
Explanation:
Force can be defined from power energy by the expressions
F = [tex]- \frac{ dU}{ dx}[/tex]
in this case we are the expression of the potential energy
U = [tex]\frac{2.6}{x^{8} } - \frac{4.3}{ x^{4} }[/tex]
let's find the derivative
dU / dx = 2.6 ( [tex]\frac{-8}{x^{9} }[/tex]) - 4.3 ([tex]\frac{-4}{ x^{5} }[/tex])
dU / dx = [tex]- \frac{20.8}{ x^{9} } + \frac{17.2 }{ x^{5} }[/tex]
we substitute
F = + \frac{20.8}{ x^{9} } - \frac{17.2 }{ x^{5} }
at the equilibrium point the force is zero, so
[tex]\frac{20.8}{ x^{9} } = \frac{17.2}{ x^{5} }[/tex]
20.8 / 17.2 = x⁴
x⁴ = 1.2093
x = [tex]\sqrt[4]{ 1.2093}[/tex]
x = 1.04866

The radius of the Sun is 6.96 x 108 m and the distance between the Sun and the Earth is roughtly 1.50 x 1011 m. You may assume that the Sun is a perfect sphere and that the irradiance arriving on the Earth is the value for AMO, 1,350 W/m2. Calculate the temperature at the surface of the Sun.
Answer:
5766.7 K
Explanation:
We are given that
Radius of Sun , R=[tex]6.96\times 10^{8} m[/tex]
Distance between the Sun and the Earth, D=[tex]1.50\times 10^{11}m[/tex]
Irradiance arriving on the Earth is the value for AMO=[tex]1350W/m^2[/tex]
We have to find the temperature at the surface of the Sun.
We know that
Temperature ,T=[tex](\frac{K_{sc}D^2}{\sigma R^2})^{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
Where [tex]K_{sc}=1350 W/m^2[/tex]
[tex]\sigma=5.67\times 10^{-8}watt/m^2k^4[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]T=(\frac{1350\times (1.5\times 10^{11})^2}{5.67\times 10^{-8}\times (6.96\times 10^{8})^2})^{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
T=5766.7 K
Hence, the temperature at the surface of the sun=5766.7 K

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0N, the second child exerts a force of 90.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the most of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kga)what is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated
Answer:
Explanation:
75 N and 90 N are acting in opposite direction so net force = 90 - 75 = 15 N .
Friction force will act in the direction opposite to the direction of net force .
So friction force will act in the direction in which 75 N is acting .
Total force acting in the direction of 75 = 75 + 12 = 87 N
Net force acing on the third child = 90 - 87 = 3 N
Its direction will be that in the direction of 90 N .

In some cases, neither of the two equations in the system will contain a variable with a coefficient of 1, so we must take a further step to isolate it. Let's say we now have
3C+4D=5
2C+5D=2
None of these terms has a coefficient of 1. Instead, we'll pick the variable with the smallest coefficient and isolate it. Move the term with the lowest coefficient so that it's alone on one side of its equation, then divide by the coefficient. Which of the following expressions would result from that process?
Now that you have one of the two variables in Part D isolated, use substitution to solve for the two variables. You may want to review the Multiplication and Division of Fractions and Simplifying an Expression Primers.
Answer:
D = -4/7 = - 0.57
C = 17/7 = 2.43
Explanation:
We have the following two equations:
[tex]3C + 4D = 5\ --------------- eqn (1)\\2C + 5D = 2\ --------------- eqn (2)[/tex]
First, we isolate C from equation (2):
[tex]2C + 5D = 2\\2C = 2 - 5D\\C = \frac{2 - 5D}{2}\ -------------- eqn(3)[/tex]
using this value of C from equation (3) in equation (1):
[tex]3(\frac{2-5D}{2}) + 4D = 5\\\\\frac{6-15D}{2} + 4D = 5\\\\\frac{6-15D+8D}{2} = 5\\\\6-7D = (5)(2)\\7D = 6-10\\\\D = -\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
D = - 0.57
Put this value in equation (3), we get:
[tex]C = \frac{2-(5)(\frac{-4}{7} )}{2}\\\\C = \frac{\frac{14+20}{7}}{2}\\\\C = \frac{34}{(7)(2)}\\\\C = \frac{17}{7}\\[/tex]
C = 2.43

A 50.0-g Super Ball traveling at 29.5 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 20.0 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 4.00 ms, what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval
Answer:
The magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval is 1.238 x 10⁴ m/s².
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the super ball, m = 50 g = 0.05 kg
initial velocity of the ball, u = 29.5 m/s
final velocity of the ball, v = -20.0 m/s (negative because it rebounds)
time of contact of the ball and the wall, t = 4 ms = 4 x 10⁻³ s
The force exerted on the brick wall by the ball is given as;
[tex]F = ma\\\\ma = \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{(-20) - 29.5}{4.0 \ \times \ 10^{-3}} \\\\a = \frac{-49.5}{4.0 \ \times \ 10^{-3}} \\\\a = -1.238 \times 10^4 \ m/s^2\\\\|a| = 1.238 \times 10^4 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval is 1.238 x 10⁴ m/s².
Two metal bricks are held off the edge of a balcony from the same height above the ground. The bricks are the same size but one is made of Titanium (density of 4.5 g/cm%) and one is made of Lead (density of 11.3 g/cm3) so the Lead is about twice as heavy as the Titanium. The time it takes the bricks to reach the ground will be:________.
a. less but not necessarily half as long for the heavier brick
b. about half as long for the lighter brick
c. less but not necessarily half as long for the lighter brick
d. about half as long for the heavier brick
e. about the same time for both bricks
Answer:
e.
Explanation:
Assuming that the air resistance is neglectable, both bricks are only accelerated by gravity, which produces a constant acceleration on both bricks, which is the same, according Newton's 2nd Law, as we can see below:[tex]F_{g} = m*g = m*a (1)[/tex]⇒a = g = 9.8m/s² (pointing downward)Since acceleration is constant, if both fall from the same height, we can apply the following kinematic equation:[tex]\Delta y = v_{o} * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (2)[/tex]
Since both bricks are held off the edge, the initial speed is zero, so (2) reduces to the following equation:[tex]h =\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (3)[/tex]
Since h (the height of the balcony) is the same, we conclude that both bricks hit ground at exactly the same time.If the air resistance is not negligible, due both bricks have zero initial speed, and have the same shape, they will be affected by the drag force in similar way, so they will reach the ground at approximately the same time.A car pulls on to an onramp with an initial speed of 23.8 mph. The length of the onramp is 852 ft and the car needs to be moving at 45.7 mph at the end of the ramp to merge with traffic. What constant rate of acceleration (in ft/sec2) is required in order to accomplish this
Answer:
The constant rate of acceleration required in order to accomplish this is 1.921 feet per square second.
Explanation:
Let suppose that car accelerates uniformly in a rectilinear motion. Given that initial and final speeds and travelled distances are known, then the acceleration needed by the vehicle ([tex]a[/tex]), measured in feet per square second, is determined by the following kinematic formula:
[tex]a = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \Delta x }[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]v_{o}[/tex], [tex]v_{f}[/tex] - Initial and final speeds, measured in feet per second.
[tex]\Delta x[/tex] - Travelled distance, measured in feet.
If we know that [tex]v_{o} = 34.907\,\frac{ft}{s}[/tex], [tex]v_{f} = 67.027\,\frac{ft}{s}[/tex] and [tex]\Delta x = 852\,ft[/tex], then acceleration needed to accomplish the task is:

An engineer claims to have measured the characteristics of a heat engine that takes in 150 J of thermal energy and produces 50 J of useful work. What is the smallest possible ratio of the temperatures (in kelvin) of the hot and cold reservoirs?
Answer:
1.4999
Explanation:
Efficiency can be calculated using below expresion
Efficiency = W/Q.............eqn(1)
Where W= work = 50 J
Q= thermal energy= 150 J
But
W/Q= (Th-Tc)/Th ...........Eqn(2)
Th= temperature of the hot
Tc= temperature of the cold
Where Th/ Tc= ratio of the temperature hot and cold reservoirs?
If we simplify eqn(2) we have
W/Q = 1-Tc/Th.........eqn(3)
If we make the ratio subject of the formula we have
Tc/Th = 1-(W/Q)
Th/Tc = 1/(1-W/Q )
Then substitute the values
= 1/(1-50/150) = 1.4999
Hence, the smallest possible ratio of the temperatures (in kelvin) of the hot and cold reservoirs is 1.4999
A car enters a 105-m radius flat curve on a rainy day when the coefficient of static friction between its tires and the road is 0.4. What is
the maximum speed which the car can travel around the curve without sliding
Static friction (magnitude Fs) keeps the car on the road, and is the only force acting on it parallel to the road. By Newton's second law,
Fs = m a = W a / g
(a = centripetal acceleration, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity)
We have
a = v ² / R
(v = tangential speed, R = radius of the curve)
so that
Fs = W v ² / (g R)
Solving for v gives
v = √(Fs g R / W)
Perpendicular to the road, the car is in equilibrium, so Newton's second law gives
N - W = 0
(N = normal force, W = weight)
so that
N = W
We're given a coefficient of static friction µ = 0.4, so
Fs = µ N = 0.4 W
Substitute this into the equation for v. The factors of W cancel, so we get
v = √((0.4 W) g R / W) = √(0.4 g R) = √(0.4 (9.80 m/s²) (105 m)) ≈ 20.3 m/s
At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine with 80-m-diameter (D) blades at that location. Take the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3. The mechanical energy of air per unit mass is kJ/kg. The power generation potential of the wind turbine is kW.
Answer:
[tex]0.05\ \text{kJ/kg}[/tex]
[tex]3141.6\ \text{kW}[/tex]
Explanation:
v = Velocity of wind = 10 m/s
A = Swept area of blade = [tex]\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2[/tex]
d = Diameter of turbine = 80 m
[tex]\rho[/tex] = Density of air = [tex]1.25\ \text{kg/m}^3[/tex]
Wind energy per unit mass of air is given by
[tex]E=\dfrac{v^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{10^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow E=50\ \text{J/kg}[/tex]
The mechanical energy of air per unit mass is [tex]0.05\ \text{kJ/kg}[/tex]
Power is given by
[tex]P=\rho AvE\\\Rightarrow P=1.25\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 80^2\times 10\times 50\\\Rightarrow P=3141592.65=3141.6\ \text{kW}[/tex]
The power generation potential of the wind turbine is [tex]3141.6\ \text{kW}[/tex].
Two particles, an electron and a proton, are initially at rest in a uniform electric field of magnitude 554 N/C. If the particles are free to move, what are their speeds (in m/s) after 51.6 ns
Answer:
the speed of electron is 5.021 x 10⁶ m/s
the speed of proton is 2733.91 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
magnitude of electric field, E = 554 N/C
charge of the particles, Q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
time of motion, t = 51.6 ns = 51.6 x 10⁻⁹ s
The force experienced by each particle is calculated as;
F = EQ
F = (554)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)
F = 8.864 x 10⁻¹⁷ N
The speed of the particles are calculated as;
[tex]F = ma\\\\F = \frac{mv}{t} \\\\v = \frac{Ft}{m} \\\\v_e = \frac{Ft}{m_e}\\\\v_e = \frac{(8.864 \times 10^{-17})(51.6\times 10^{-9})}{9.11 \times \ 10^{-31}}\\\\v_e = 5.021 \times 10^{6} \ m/s[/tex]
[tex]v_p = \frac{Ft}{m_p}\\\\v_p = \frac{(8.864 \times 10^{-17})(51.6\times 10^{-9})}{1.673 \times \ 10^{-27}}\\\\v_p = 2733.91 \ m/s[/tex]

1. A particle is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of 30 ms from a point 0. Find (a) the maximum height reached(b) the time taken for it to return to 0 (c) the taken for it to be 35m below 0
Assuming the particle is in free fall once it is shot up, its vertical velocity v at time t is
v = 30 m/s - g t
where g = 9.8 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and its height y is given by
y = (30 m/s) t - 1/2 g t ²
(a) At its maximum height, the particle has 0 velocity, which occurs for
0 = 30 m/s - g t
t = (30 m/s) / g ≈ 3.06 s
at which point the particle's maximum height would be
y = (30 m/s) (3.06 s) - 1/2 g (3.06 s)² ≈ 45.9184 m ≈ 46 m
(b) It takes twice the time found in part (a) to return to 0 height, t ≈ 6.1 s.
(c) The particle falls 35 m below its starting point when
-35 m = (30 m/s) t - 1/2 g t ²
Solve for t to get a time of about t ≈ 7.1 s
According to information found in an old hydraulics book, the energy loss per unit weight of fluid flowing through a nozzle connected to a hose can be estimated by the formula where h is the energy loss per unit weight, D the hose diameter, d the nozzle tip diameter, V the fluid velocity in the hose, and g the acceleration of gravity. Do you think this equation is valid in any system of units
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
According to information found in an old hydraulics book, the energy loss per unit weight of fluid flowing through a nozzle connected to a hose can be estimated by the formula; h= (0.04 to 0.09)(D/d)⁴V²/2g
where h is the energy loss per unit weight, D the hose diameter, d the nozzle tip diameter, V the fluid velocity in the hose, and g the acceleration of gravity.
Do you think this equation is valid in any system of units
Answer:
YES, the equation is a general equation that is valid in any system of units
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
h = (0.04 to 0.09)(D/d)⁴ × [tex]\frac{V^{2} }{2g}[/tex]
so
[ N.m/N ] = (0.04 to 0.09) ( m/m)² × (m²/s²)1/2 × (s²/m)
[ N.L/N ] = (0.04 to 0.09) ( L⁴/L⁴) × (L²/T²)1/2 × (T²/L)
∴ [ L ] = (0.04 to 0.09) [L]
So as each term in the equation must have the same dimensions, the constant term (0.04 to 0.09) must be without dimension.
Therefore, YES, the equation is a general equation that is valid in any system of units
