You are holding a finishing sander with your right hand. THe sander has a flywheel which spins counterclockwise as seen from behind the handle. You are sanding a wall in front of you. as you turn the sander towards the right, you feel a tendency in the sander to...
a. pull away from you
b. turn towards the left
c. turn downward
d. turn upward
e. push toward you

Answers

Answer:

c. turn downward

Explanation:

From the information given:

To find the tendency of the sander;

We need to apply the right-hand rule torque; whereby we consider the direction of the flywheel, the direction at which the torque is acting, and the movement of the sander toward the right.

Since the flywheel of the sander is in counterclockwise movement, hence the torque direction will be outward placing on the wall. However, provided that the movement of the sander is toward the right, then there exists an opposite force that turns downward which showcases the tendency in the sander is downward.

Answers

Answer:

C. The change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another. Therefore, the sum of the initial kinetic energy and potential energy is equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and potential energy.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf .......equation 1

Where;

Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy respectively.

Ui and Uf are the initial and final potential energy respectively.

The law of conservation of Energy is another way to describe the law of Thermodynamics. It states that the change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

ΔU = Q − W

ΔU represents the change in internal energy of a system.

Q represents the net heat transfer in and out of the system.

W represents the sum of work (net work) done on or by the system.

The aircraft wing from problem 6 experiences temperature extremes that span 210 degrees Celsius. The component for the wing will have a length of exactly 3 meters. Testing indicates that the aircraft wing will remain stable only if the component never expands to a length larger than 3.017 meters. If the component is made from the metal alloy in question, will it meet this requirement. An unknown metal alloy is being tested to discover its thermal properties to see if it is suitable for use as a component in an aircraft wing. The alloy is formed into a bar measuring 1 meter in length, and is then heated from its starting temp. of 30°C to a final temperature of 100°C. The length of the heated bar is measured to be exactly 1.002 meters in length.

Required:
What is the coefficient of thermal expansion of the alloy?

Answers

Answer:

α = 2,857 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹

Explanation:

The thermal expansion of materials is described by the expression

          ΔL = α Lo ΔT

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

in the case of the bar the expansion is

         ΔL = L_f - L₀

         ΔL=   1.002 -1

         ΔL = 0.002 m

the temperature variation is

         ΔT = 100 - 30

         ΔT = 70º C

we calculate

         α = 0.002 / 1 70

         α = 2,857 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹

Brian Lara is a cricketer playing in the field on the second day of a cricket test-match. He exerts a forward force on the 0.145kg cricket ball, as he catches it, to bring it to rest from a speed of 38.2m/s. During the process, his hand recoils a distance of 0.135m. Determine the acceleration of the ball and the force which is applied to it by Brian Lara.

Answers

Answer:

a = -3984.6 m/s²

F = 577.76 N

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball can be calculated by using the third equation of motion:

[tex]2as = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\[/tex]

where,

a = acceleration of ball = ?

s = distance covered = recoil distance = 0.135 m

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 38.2 m/s

Therefore,

[tex]2(0.135\ m)a = (0\ m/s)^2-(38.2\ m/s)^2\\[/tex]

a = -3984.6 m/s²

here negative sign shows deceleration.

Now, for the force applied by Brian Lara will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction of the force required to stop the ball:

[tex]F = -ma\\F = -(0.145\ kg)(-3984.6\ m/s^2)\\[/tex]

F = 577.76 N

Sparks occur when the electric field in air exceeds 3 x 106 N/C. This is because free electrons normally present in air are accelerated to such high speeds that their kinetic energy will overcome the potential energy holding other electrons to atoms. When those electrons rearrange themselves after such a collision, a flash of light is emitted. Let us suppose that the work done on an electron must give it an energy of 3 x 10-19 J to cause this ionization. How far does an electron involved in making in a spark travel through the air before it collides with an atom

Answers

Answer:

h = 5.38 10¹⁶ m

Explanation:

Let's start this exercise by assuming that all the potential energy of the electron is converted into kinetic energy, let's use the conservation of energy

starting point. Just before ionization

          Em₀ = U = qE

final point. Right after ionization

           Em_f = K = ½ m v²

Energy is conserved

           Em₀ = Em_f

           q E = ½ m v²

           v² = 2qE / m

Now we can use the relationship between net work and kinetic energy

           W_net = ΔK

net work is the work done by the electron minus the binding energy with the atom, called the work function, Ф = 3 10-19 J

           W - Ф = K_f - K₀

we assume that the electron converts all its initial initial kinetic energy to be zero

           W -Ф = ½ m v² - 0

            W = ½ m v² +Ф

we substitute

           W = 1/2 m 2qE/m + E

           W =  qE +Ф

           W = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 3 10⁶ + 3 10⁻¹⁹

            W = 4.8 10⁻¹³ + 3 10⁻¹⁹

           W = 4.8 10⁻¹³ J

When the electron is in air, its kinetic energy can be transformed into gravitational potential energy

           

As the electron is in the air, all work is transformed into scientific energy

           W = K

starting point Em₀ = K = W

end point Em_F = U = m g h

energy conservation Em₀ = Em_f

                       W = m g h

                       h = [tex]\frac{W}{mg}[/tex]

let's calculate

                       h = [tex]\frac{4.8 \ 10^{-13} x}{9.1 \ 10^{-31} \ 9.8 }[/tex]

                       h = 5.38 10¹⁶ m

Electron involved in making in spark travel through the air before it collides with an atom will be at the distance of 5.38 10¹⁶ m.

What is an electric field?

An electric field is an electric property that is connected with any location in space where a charge exists in any form. The electric force per unit charge is another term for an electric field.

Let's begin this exercise by assuming that all of the electron's potential energy is turned into kinetic energy, and then we'll apply the law of conservation of energy.

Energy before ionization;

[tex]\rm Em_0 = U = qE[/tex]

Energy after ionization;

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

From the law of conservation of energy principle;

[tex]Em_0 = Em_f \\\\ q E =\frac{1}{2} m v^2\\\\ v^2 = \frac{2qE }{m}[/tex]

The relationship between net work and kinetic energy;

[tex]W_{net} = \triangle K[/tex]

The work function is defined as net work, which is the work done by the electron minus the binding energy with the atom.

[tex]W - \phi = K_f - K_0[/tex]

[tex]W = K_f+ \phi[/tex]

[tex]W = \frac{1}{2} m \times \frac{2qE}{m} + E\\ \\W = qE + \phi \\\\ \rm W = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 3 \tims 10^6 3 10⁶ +3 \times 10^{-19} \\\\ W = 4.8 \times 10^{-13}+ 3 \times 10^{-19}\\\\ W = 4.8 \times 10^{-13} J[/tex]

EMF at starting point;

[tex]\rm Em_0 = K = W[/tex]

EMF at the endpoint;

[tex]\rm Em_F = U = m g h[/tex]

From the law of conservation of energy principle;

[tex]Em_0 = Em_f \\\\ W = m g \\\\ h = \frac{W}{mg}\\\\\ h = \frac{4.8 \timjes 10^{-13}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.81 }\\\\ \rm h= 5.38 \times 10^{16}[/tex]

Hence electron involved in making in spark travel through the air before it collides with an atom will be at a distance of 5.38 10¹⁶ m.

49. \ A rectangular plate is rotating with a constant angular speed about an axis that passes perpendicularly through one corner, as the drawing shows. The centripetal acceleration measured at corner A is n times as great as that measured at corner B. What is the ratio L1/L2 of the lengths of the sides of the rectangle when n

Answers

Answer:

    [tex]\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \sqrt{(n^2 - 1)}[/tex]

Explanation:

For this interesting problem, we use the definition of centripetal acceleration  

      a = v² / r  

angular and linear velocity are related  

     v = w r  

we substitute  

    a = w² r

the rectangular body rotates at an angular velocity w  

We locate the points, unfortunately the diagram is not shown. In this case we have the axis of rotation in a corner, called O, in one of the adjacent corners we call it A and the opposite corner A  

the distance OB = L₂  

the distance AB = L₁

the sides of the rectangle  

It is indicated that the acceleration in in A and B are related  

      [tex]a_A = n \ a_B[/tex]  

we substitute the value of the acceleration  

    w² r_A = n r_B  

the distance from the each corner is  

    r_B = L₂  

    r_A = [tex]\sqrt{L_1^2 + L_2^2}[/tex]  

we substitute  

   \sqrt{L_1^2 + L_2^2} = n L₂  

    L₁² + L₂² = n² L₂²  

    L₁² = (n²-1) L₂²

What is inertia?

A body's ability to resist being propelled into motion or, if already moving, to modify the direction or magnitude of its velocity is known as inertia.

An object's lethargy is a passive quality that prevents it from doing anything other than obstructing active forces and torques. The only reason a moving body continues to move is the lack of a force that might slow it down, alter its trajectory, or accelerate it. This is not due to inertia.

A body's inertia moment about a certain axis and its mass, which determine how resistant it is to the application of forces to that axis, respectively, are two statistical measures of inertia.
