Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Earth: [tex]t = 498.667\,s[/tex], Mercury: [tex]t = 193\,s[/tex], Pluto: [tex]t = 19700\,s[/tex]

Explanation:

The light travels at a constant speed of approximately [tex]3\times 10^{8}[/tex] meters per second. The time ([tex]t[/tex]), in seconds, required for light to travel a given distance is:

[tex]t = \frac{x}{v_{l}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]x[/tex] - Travelled distance, in meters.

[tex]v_{l}[/tex] - Speed of light, in meters per second.

Now, we calculate the time for light to travel to each planet:

Earth ([tex]v_{l} = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]x = 1.496\times 10^{11}\,m[/tex])

[tex]t = \frac{x}{v_{l}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 498.667\,s[/tex]

Mercury ([tex]v_{l} = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]x = 5.79\times 10^{10}\,m[/tex])

[tex]t = \frac{x}{v_{l}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 193\,s[/tex]

Pluto ([tex]v_{l} = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]x = 5.91\times 10^{12}\,m[/tex])

[tex]t = \frac{x}{v_{l}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 19700\,s[/tex]

Explanation:

The Formula needed = KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] m v²

Substitute with numbers known:

2000J = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 200kg × v²

Simplify:

÷100       ÷100      (Divide by 100 on both sides)

2000J = 100 × v²

[tex]\frac{2000J}{100}[/tex] =  v²

20 = v²

At the beginning of a roller coaster ride, the roller coaster car has an initial energy
mostly in the form of PE. Which statement explains why the fastest speeds of the car
will be at the lowest points in the ride?

a. At the bottom of the slope kinetic energy is at its maximum value and potential
energy is at its minimum value.
b. At the bottom of the slope potential energy is at its maximum value and kinetic
energy is at its minimum value.
c. At the bottom of the slope both kinetic and potential energy reach their maximum
values
d. At the bottom of the slope both kinetic and potential energy reach their minimum
values.

Answers

Explanation:

The potential energy of the roller coaster is due to its position. It can be calculated as :

P = mgh

Where

m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height.

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Where

v is the speed of the object

At lowest point, the potential energy of the roller coaster is converted to the kinetic energy. So, At the bottom of the slope kinetic energy is at its maximum value and potential energy is at its minimum value. That's why the speed of the cars is at the lowest points in the ride.

We have that for the Question "Which statement explains why the fastest speeds of the car will be at the lowest points in the ride?"

Option A (At the bottom of the slope kinetic energy is at its maximum value and potential energy is at its minimum value) best explains it

option a explains why the fastest speeds of the car will be at the lowest points in the ride because potential energy decreases with decrease in height. Here the decreased potential energy is converted to the kinetic energy.

Explanation:

With most of our blue planet covered by water, it's little wonder that, centuries ago, the oceans were believed to hide mysterious creatures including sea serpents and mermaids. Merfolk (mermaids and mermen) are, of course, the marine version of half-human, half-animal legends that have captured human imagination for ages. One source, the "Arabian Nights," described mermaids as having "moon faces and hair like a woman's but their hands and feet were in their bellies and they had tails like fishes."

C.J.S. Thompson, a former curator at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, notes in his book "The Mystery and Lore of Monsters" that "Traditions concerning creatures half-human and half-fish in form have existed for thousands of years, and the Babylonian deity Era or Oannes, the Fish-god ... is usually depicted as having a bearded head with a crown and a body like a man, but from the waist downwards he has the shape of a fish." Greek mythology contains stories of the god Triton, the merman messenger of the sea, and several modern religions including Hinduism and Candomble (an Afro-Brazilian belief) worship mermaid goddesses to this day.

an airplane has a maximum velocity of 160km/h in still air. calculate its maximum velocity when it travels in air with a crosswind of 30km/h

Answers

Answer:

Velocity can be directly added or subtracted.

For example, if a boat has a velocity V in still water.

And now you put the boat in a river with a current that has a velocity V'

The total velocity of the boat in that river is just the addition of these two velocities.

Velocity in the river  = V + V'

Where the only tricky part is that the velocity is a vector, so you need to take in account the directions of each vector.

In this case, we have a plane with a maximum velocity of 160km, let's assume a direction for this velocity, let's say that is in the positive x-direction.

Then we can write the velocity in the vector form:

velocity  = (vel in x-axis, vel in y-axis)

The velocity of the plane can be written as:

v = (160km/h, 0)

Now we add a crosswind of 30km/h

crosswind means that it is perpendicular, then it acts on the y-axis.

Then the total velocity of the plane will be:

velocity = (160km/h, 0) + (0, 30km/h)

velocity = (160km/h, 30km/h)

Now you can compute the total velocity of the airplane as the module of that vector.

Remember that for a vector (x, y) the module is:

mod = √(x^2 + y^2)

Then the module of the velocity is:

v = √( (160km/h)^2 + (30km/h)^2) = 162.8 km/h

Find the density of a 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm cube with a mass of 64 g.

Answers

Answer:

8 g/cm³

Explanation:

density=mass/volume

volume=2*2*2=8 cm³

mass=64 g

density=64/8=8 g/cm³

The density of a 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm cube with a mass of 64 g is equal to 8 g/cm³.

What is the density?

Density can be defined as the material mass per unit of volume. The symbol commonly used to represent density ρ and the letter 'D' can also be used.

The mathematical equation of the density can be represented as written below:

Density = Mass /Volume

or,   ρ = m/V

The density of a material varies with pressure and temperature. There is a small variation for solids and liquids of any material but much larger for gases. Increasing the pressure of material decreases the volume and thus increases its density.

Given the volume of the cube =  2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm

V = 8 cm³

The mass of the cube, m = 64 g

The density of the cube can be calculated from the above-mentioned formula:

Density = Mass of cube/volume

D = 64/8

D = 8 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the cube is 8 g/cm³.

         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

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.

Determine the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field.

Answers

Answer:

0.125 volts

Explanation:

The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity.

One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms.

We need to find the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

[tex]\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}[/tex]

Where

[tex]\phi[/tex] is magnetic flux

So,

[tex]\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\=2\pi r\times \dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 1.6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0}{120\times 10^{-3}}\\\\=0.125\ V[/tex]

So, the induced emf is equal to 0.125 volts.
