A common way to measure the distance to lightning is to start counting, one count per second, as soon as you see the flash. Stop counting when you hear the thunder and divide by five to get the distance in miles. Use this information to estimate the speed of sound in m/s. Show your work below. This will require some conversions.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 1.07 mile

Explanation:

The rationale for this method is that the speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound, the definition of speed in uniform motion is  

v = d / t  

d = v t  

the speed of sound is worth  

v = 343 m / s  

Therefore, the speed of sound must be multiplied by time to do this, all the units must be in the same system, as the distance in miles is requested  

v = 343 m/s (1mile/1609 m) (3600s/1 h) = 343 (2.24) = 767.4 mile/h  

v = 343 m / s (1 mile / 1609 m) = 0.213, mile/ s  

If the measured time is t = 5s we multiply it by the speed  

we substitute  

d = 0.213 5

d = 1.07 mile

If you want to calculate the speed, this method in general is not widely used, since you must know the distance where the lightning occurred, which is relatively complicated.

The 500-N force F is applied to the vertical pole as shown(1) Determine the scalar components of the force vector F along the x'- and y'-axes. (2) Determine the scalar components of F along the x- and y'-axes.

Answers

Solution :

Given :

Force, F = 500 N

Let [tex]$ \vec F = F_x\ \hat i + F_y\ \hat j$[/tex]

      [tex]$|\vec F|=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$F_x=F \cos 60^\circ = 500 \ \cos 60^\circ = 250 \ N$[/tex]

  [tex]$F_y=-F \cos 30^\circ = -500 \ \cos 30^\circ = -433.01 \ N$[/tex]   (since [tex]$F_y$[/tex] direction is in negative y-axis)

[tex]$F=250 \ \hat i - 433.01 \ \hat j$[/tex]

So scalar components are : 250 N and 433.01 N

     vector components are : [tex]$250 \ \hat i$[/tex] and [tex]$-433.01\ \hat j$[/tex]

1.  Scalar components along :

 x' axis = 500 N, since the force is in this direction.

 [tex]$F_{x'}= F \ \cos \theta = 500\ \cos \theta$[/tex]

  Here, θ = 0° , since force and axis in the same direction.

So, cos θ = cos 0° = 1

∴ [tex]$F_{x'}=500 \times 1=500\ N$[/tex]

[tex]$F_{y'}= F \ \sin \theta = 500\ \sin 0^\circ=500 \times 0=0$[/tex]

[tex]$F_{y'}=F\ cos \theta$[/tex] but here θ is 90°. So the force ad axis are perpendicular to each other.

[tex]$F_{y'}=F\ \cos 90^\circ= 500 \ \cos 90^\circ = 500 \times 0=0$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$F_{x'}= 500\ N \text{ and}\ F_{y'}=0\ N$[/tex]

2. Scalar components of F along:

x-axis :

[tex]$F_x=F\ \cos \theta$[/tex],   here θ is the angle between x-axis and F = 60°.

[tex]$F_x=500 \times \cos60^\circ=250\ N$[/tex]

y'-axis :

[tex]$F_{y'}=F\ \cos \theta$[/tex],   here θ is the angle between y'-axis and F = 90°.

[tex]$F_{y'}=500 \times \cos90^\circ=500\times 0=0\ N$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$F_{x}= 250\ N \text{ and}\ F_{y'}=0\ N$[/tex]

A 150 g pinball rolls towards a springloaded launching rod with a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the west. The launching rod strikes the pinball and causes it to move in the opposite direction with a velocity of 10.0 m/s. What impulse was delivered to the pinball by the launcher?

Answers

Answer:

  I = 1.8 N s,  it is directed towards the right  

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the relationship between momentum and moment

         I = Δp

         F t = p_f - p₀

in this case the initial velocity is v₀ = - 2,0 m / s and final velocity v_f = 10,0 m / s, we assume the positive right direction

          I = m (v_f - v₀)

let's calculate

         I = 0.150 (10.0 - (-2.0))

         I = 0.150 (10 + 2)

         I = 1.8 N s

as the impulse is positive it is directed towards the right

a 5.2kg bowling ball is accelerated from rest to a velocity of 12 m/s as the bowler covers 5.0m of approach before releasing the ball. what force is exerted on the ball during this time?

Answers

Answer:

74.88N

Explanation:

From the question,

F = ma................... Equation 1

Where F = force exerted on the ball, m = mass of the ball, a = acceleration

But,

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = distance.

Given: v = 12 m/s, u = 0 m/s (from rest), s = 5.0 m

Substitute into equation 2 and solve for a

12² = 0²+2×a×5

144 = 10a

10a = 144

a = 144/10

a = 14.4 m/s²

Also Given: m = 5.2 kg,

Substitute into equation 1

F = 5.2×14.4

F = 74.88 N

Hence the force exerted on the ball is 74.88 N

find the torque when the work done to more through an angel of 1/4π radians is 3j​

Answers

Answer:

The torque is approximately 3.82 N·m

Explanation:

The relationship between work done, 'W', and the applied torque, 'τ' can be presented as follows;

W = τ × Δθ

Where;

W = The work done by the torque

τ = The magnitude of the torque

Δθ = The angle through which the object is turned

The parameters for 'W' and 'Δθ' are;

W = 3j

Δθ = 1/4 × π

From W = τ × Δθ, we have;

τ = W/Δθ

∴ τ = 3j/(1/4 × π) ≈ 3.81971863421 N·m

The torque, τ ≈ 3.82 N·m

A rectangular loop with dimensions 4.20 cm by 9.50 cm carries current I. The current in the loop produces a magnetic field at the center of the loop that has magnitude 3.10×10−5 T and direction away from you as you view the plane of the loop. What are the magnitude and direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the current in the loop?

Answers

Answer:

1.63 A and in clockwise direction

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to the rectangular loop is :

[tex]$B=\frac{2 \mu_0 I}{\pi}\left(\frac{\sqrt{L^2+W^2}}{LW}\right)$[/tex]

Given : W = 4.20 cm

                [tex]$=4.20 \times 10^{-2} \ m$[/tex]

            L = 9.50 cm

               [tex]$= 9.50 \times 10^{-2} \ m$[/tex]

            [tex]$B = 3.40 \times 10^{-5} \ T $[/tex]

   Rearranging the above equation, we get

[tex]$I=\frac{B \pi LW}{2 \mu_0\sqrt{L^2+W^2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$I=\frac{(3.40 \times 10^{-5}) \pi(9.50 \times 10^{-2})(4.20 \times 10^{-2})}{2(4 \pi \times 10^{-7})\sqrt{(9.50 \times 10^{-2})^2+(4.20 \times 10^{-2})^2}}$[/tex]

I = 1.63 A

So the magnitude of the current in the rectangular loop is 1.63 A.

And the direction of current is clockwise.

Halla el coeficiente de dilatación lineal de una varilla que a 10 grados centígrados mide 125 metros y cuya longitud a 85 grados centígrados es 125.20 m. ¿De qué material será?

Answers

Answer:

 α = 2.13 10⁻⁵ C⁻¹    ,  the closest material is ALUMINUM

Explanation:

The expression for thermal expansion is

          ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

temperatures are

         ΔT = 85 - 10 = 75 ° C

the length of the rod is L₀ = 125 m and L_f = 125.20 m

        ΔL = 125.20 - 125 = 0.20 m

        α = [tex]\frac{1}{L_o} \frac{\Delta L }{\Delta T}[/tex]

        α = [tex]\frac{ 1}{125} \ \frac{0.20 }{75}[/tex]

        α = 2.13 10⁻⁵ C⁻¹

When reviewing the table, the closest material is ALUMINUM

If water is flowing in a 1-inch diameter pipe with an average velocity of 3 m/s and the wall roughness is 400 microns, calculate the wall shear stress.

Answers

Answer:

Shear stress  is 50.63 Pascal

Explanation:

As we know shear stress = [tex]\frac{\rho V^2 f}{8} \\[/tex]

Rho is the density

V is the velocity

f is the value from Moody's chart

We will know determine Reynolds number  to determine the flow type and then the f value

[tex]R_e = \frac{ \rho*V*D}{u}[/tex]

[tex]R_e = \frac{1000*3*0.0254}{0.001} = 76200[/tex]

This is a turbulent flow and hence the roughness index is [tex]\frac{E}{D} = 0.0157[/tex], From this we get f = 0.045

Now shear stress = [tex]\frac{1000 * 3^2 * 0.045}{8} = 50.63[/tex] Pa

Explanation:

Wind energy can be defined as a form of a solar energy. It is generated by the immense force of the wind that blows in an area. Wind energy is a useful energy and is mostly used to generate electricity. It is clean source of energy.

In the context, trash can lid is being blown away by the wind energy and it is seen moving across the yard. The energy of the wind forces the lid of the trash can to move from one place to another against friction. Thus, wind energy caused the trash can lid to move across the yard as seen by a student.

Geronimo wants to move an object 12 meters. Calculate the net work done by the object with an applied force of 150 N and a friction force of 37 N.

Answers

Answer:

1476 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Net Work done = Net force× distance moved by net force.

W' = (F-F')×d................... Equation 1

Where W' = Net work done, F = force applied, F' = Frictional force, d = distance moved.

Given: F = 150 N, F' = 37 N, d = 12 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

W' = (150-37)×12

W' = 123×12

W' = 1476 J.

hence the Net Work done by the object is 1476 J

B.

C.

Answers

Answer:

D. Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of inertia says that an object will remain how it is, unless affected by an outside force. In this case, the plates want to remain stationary(not moving). Therefore, if you pull the table cloth fast enough, the force of friction produced will be small enough so that the Inertia of the plates will overcome the force of friction.
