Two blocks A and B with mA = 2.9 kg and mB = 0.87 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass. They rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. You pull on block A with a horizontal force of 6 N. Determine the tension in the string connecting the two blocks.

Answers

Answer:

Tension = 1.38 N

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of block A [tex]m_A[/tex] = 2.9 kg

mass of block B [tex]m_B[/tex] = 0.87 kg

Force F = 6 N

Assume a = acceleration of the blocks.

Then:

[tex]m_A[/tex] (a) + [tex]m_B[/tex] (a) = 6

2.9a + 0.87a = 6

3.77a = 6

a = 6/3.77

a = 1.59 m/s²

Suppose T to be the tension in the string.

If we take a look at the forces acting on the first block, then:

F - T = [tex]m_A[/tex] (a)

T = F - [tex]m_A[/tex] (a)

T = 6 - 2.9(1.59)

T = 6 - 4.62

T = 1.38 N

A ball is spun around in circular motion such that its frequency is 10 Hz.
a. What is the period of its rotation?
b. How much time will be required to complete 100 rotations?

Answers

Answer:

a = 0.1 s b. 10 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency in circular motion, f = 10 Hz

(a) Let T is the period of itsrotation. We know that,

T = 1/f

So,

T = 1/10

= 0.1 s

(b) Frequency is number of rotations per unit time. So,

[tex]t=\dfrac{n}{f}\\\\t=\dfrac{100}{10}\\\\t=10\ s[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

A model plane has a mass of 0.75 kg and is flying 12 m above the ground
with a speed of 18 m/s. What is the total mechanical energy of the plane?
The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2.

Answers

Answer:

Option C. 210 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

Next, we shall determine the potential energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 0.75 × 9.8 × 12

PE = 88.2 J

Next, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 18²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 324

KE = 121.5 J

Finally, we shall determine the total mechanical energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Potential energy (PE) = 88.2 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = 121.5 J

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

ME = PE + KE

ME = 88.2 + 121.5

ME = 209.7 J

ME ≈ 210 J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the plane is 210 J.

A 0.200 m wire is moved parallel to a 0.500 T
magnetic field at a speed of 1.50 m/s. What emf is
induced across the ends of the wire?

Answers

Answer:

The required emf moved across the wire is zero

Explanation:

For a moving charge particle, the magnetic force can be determined by using the formula;

[tex]\varepsilon = Bvlsin \theta[/tex]

since the wire moves in parallel, the angle [tex]\theta[/tex] between magnetic field and velocity = 0°

B = 0.500 T

v = 1.50 m/s

l = 0.200 m

[tex]\varepsilon = (0.500 \ T )(1.50 \ m/s) \times (0.200 \ m)\times sin (0)[/tex]

[tex]\varepsilon = 0.15\times sin (0)[/tex]

[tex]\varepsilon = 0[/tex]

What is the thinnest soap film (excluding the case of zero thickness) that appears black when illuminated with light with a wavelength of 555 nmnm

Answers

Answer:

The minimum thickness of soap film is [tex]2.086\times 10^{-7} m[/tex].

Explanation:

wavelength = 555 nm

refractive index, n = 1.33

For the destructive interference,

the thickness is given by

[tex]t =\frac{m \lambda }{2 n}[/tex]

Here, m is the order, n is the refractive index and [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength.

For minimum thickness, m = 1

So the thickness is  

[tex]t =\frac{1 \times 555\times 10^{-9} }{2 \times 1.33}\\\\t = 2.086\times 10^{-7} m[/tex]

An aircraft is in level flight at 225 km/hr through air at standard conditions. The lift coefficient at this speed is 0.45 and the drag coefficient is 0.065. The mass of the aircraft is 900 kg. Calculate the effective lift area for the aircraft and the required engine thrust and power to maintain level flight.

Answers

Answer:

- the effective lift area for the aircraft is 8.30 m²

- the required engine thrust is 1275 N

- required power is 79.7 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Speed V = 225 km/hr = 62.5 m/s

The lift coefficient CL = 0.45

drag coefficient CD = 0.065

mass = 900 kg

g = 9.81 m/s²

a)  the effective lift area for the aircraft

we know that for a steady level flight, weight = lift and thrust = drag

Using the equation for the lift force

F[tex]_L[/tex] = C[tex]_L[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]ρV²A = W

we substitute

0.45 × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 1.21 × ( 62.5 )² × A = ( 900 × 9.81 )

1081.05 × A = 8829

A = 8829 / 1081.05

A = 8.30 m²

Therefore, the effective lift area for the aircraft is 8.30 m²

b) the required engine thrust and power to maintain level flight.

we use the expression for drag force

F[tex]_D[/tex] = T = C[tex]_D[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]ρV²A

we substitute

= 0.065 × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 1.21 × ( 62.5 )² × 8.30

T = 1275 N

Since drag and thrust force are the same,

Therefore, the required engine thrust is 1275 N

Power required;

P = TV

p = 1275 × 62.5

p = 79687.5 W

p = ( 79687.5 / 1000 )kW

p = 79.7 kW

Therefore, required power is 79.7 kW

Answers

Answer:

1. Reticular formation.

2. Hypothalamus.

3. Thalamus.

4. Hypothalamus.

5. Thalamus.

Explanation:

The human brain consists of various sections and these includes;

I. Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) which resembles a bow or collar surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. This is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex which helps to make complex cognitive functions such as impulse control, decision-making, emotions and empathy.

II. Ventral prefrontal cortex in humans are interconnected with the brain and are responsible for the processing of risk, empathy, fear and social decision-making

III. The Cerebral Cortex: this part of the brain primarily comprises of grey matter, foldable sheets of neurons and forms its outermost layer. Therefore, cerebral cortex is known as the outermost layer of the brain (cerebrum) and thus, makes up half of its weight. It is about 2.5 millimeters in thickness and as such it's able to fold.

1. Reticular formation: regulates and maintains brain's awareness level.

2. Hypothalamus: controls the activity of the pituitary gland.

3. Thalamus: relays impulses from one part of the brain to another.

4. Hypothalamus: regulates body temperature, hunger, and other internal body conditions.

5. Thalamus: connects nerve impulses from body to cortex.

Calculate the force exerted on a thresher shark's eye by the hydrostatic pressure in ocean water at a depth of 380 m. (Assume the water's mass density at this depth is 1000 kg/m3k.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Hydrostatic pressure due to a water column of height  h can be given by the following expression.

P = hρg

where ρ is density of water and g is acceleration due to gravity .

Substituting the values.

P = 380 x 1000 x 9.8

= 3.72 x 10⁶ Pa.

Answer:

[tex]F=\dfrac{3.72\times 10^6\ Pa}{A}\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

Depth, h = 380 m

We need to find the force exerted on a thresher shark's eye by the hydrostatic pressure in ocean water. The force exerted by the hydrostatic pressure is given by :

[tex]P=\rho gh[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]P=1000\times 9.8\times 380\\\\P=3.72\times 10^6\ Pa[/tex]

Force exerted,

F = P/A

So,

[tex]F=\dfrac{3.72\times 10^6\ Pa}{A}\ N[/tex]

Where

A is the area of crosss section

Hence, this is the required solution.

Imagine an alternate universe where all of the quantum number rules were identical to ours except m_{s} had three allowed values (rather than two as it does in our universe). If this were the case, and the Pauli Exclusion Principle still applies, how many electrons would be allowed in each orbital

Answers

Answer:

so in a given orbital there can be 3 electrons.

Explanation:

The Pauli exclusion principle states that all the quantum numbers of an electron cannot be equal, if the spatial part of the wave function is the same, the spin part of the wave function determines how many electrons fit in each orbital.

In the case of having two values, two electrons change. In the case of three allowed values, one electron fits for each value, so in a given orbital there can be 3 electrons.
