A train locomotive is pulling two cars of the same mass behind it. Determine the ratio of the tension in the coupling (think of it as a cord) between the locomotive and the first car (FT1) to that between the first car and the second car (FT2), for any nonzero acceleration of the train

The correct answer is D. electric current being forced uphill by the battery back to the positive terminal.

What is Electric Current?

Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conducting medium, such as a wire, due to the movement of electrons or ions. The flow of charge is typically caused by the presence of an electric field that creates a potential difference (voltage) between two points in a circuit

In an electrical circuit, pipes are analogous to wires or conductive paths that allow the flow of electric current. The flow of electric current is from the positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal, which is opposite to the direction of conventional current flow. Therefore, option C is incorrect.

Answer:

a. 900 J

b. 0.383

Explanation:

According to the question, the given data is as follows

Horizontal force = 150 N

Packing crate = 40.0 kg

Distance = 6.00 m

Based on the above information

a. The work done by the 150-N force is

[tex]W = F x = \mu N x = \mu\ m\ g\ x[/tex]

[tex]W = 150 \times 6[/tex]

= 900 J

b. Now the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and surface is

[tex]\mu = \frac {F}{m\timesg}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{150}{40\times 9.8}[/tex]

= .383

We simply applied the above formulas so that each one part could calculate

We want to find the work and kinetic friction for the given situation. The solutions are:

Here we have a horizontal force of 150N pushing a 40.0 kg packing crate a distance of 6.00m at a constant speed.

a) First we want to find the work, it is given by the force applied times the distance moved, so the work is just:

W = 150N*6.00m = 900 N*m

b) Now we want to find the coefficient of kinetic friction, it must be such that the kinetic friction force is equal to the pushing force, in this way there is no net force, and then there is no acceleration.

Remember that the friction force is:

F = m*g*μ

Where:

Then we must solve:

150N = 40kg*(9.8 m/s^2)*μ = 392N*μ

150N/392N = 0.38

So the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is 0.38

Answer:

Thus, the energy stored by a 50 Ampere minute battery is found to be  36 KJ.

Explanation:

The power delivered by a battery is given by the formula:

P = VI

where,

P = Power Delivered by battery in 1 second

V = Voltage of battery = 12 volt

I = Current stored in battery

But, if we multiply both sides of equation by time (t), then:

Pt = VIt

where,

Pt = Power x Time = E = Energy Stored = ?

It = Rating of Battery = (50 A.min)(60 sec/min) = 3000 A.sec

Therefore,

E = (12 volt)(3000 A.sec)

E = 36000 J = 36 KJ

Thus, the energy stored by a 50 Ampere minute battery is found to be  36 KJ.

= .97 x 10⁻³ J .

This energy is transferred to capacitor .

energy of capacitor = 1/2 CV²

= .5 x C x 66²

= 2178 C

2178C = .97 x 10⁻³

C = 44.75 x 10⁻⁸ F .

The magnetic energy stored in the inductor is transformed into electrical energy stored in the capacitor. The value of capacitance for the given circuit is 44.75 x 10⁻⁸ F

According to the law of conservation of energy, the magnetic energy stored in the inductor will be gradually lost and this energy will be stored in the capacitor as electrical energy.

Initially, the energy in the inductor is:

E = 1/2 Li₀²

where L is inductance

and i₀ is peak current.

E = 0.5 × 6 × 10⁻³ × (0.57)²

E = 0.97 × 10⁻³J

This energy is transformed into electrical energy stored in the capacitor.

So the capacitor energy is:

Answer:

A.  xmax = 131.49 m

B.  t = 8.74 s

C.  ymax = 220.33 m

Explanation:

A. In order to find the horizontal distance which cannon travels you first calculate the flight time. The flight time can be calculated by using the following formula:

[tex]y=y_o+v_osin\theta-\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]      (1)

yo: height from the projectile is fired = 200m

vo: initial velocity of the projectile = 25m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

θ: angle between the direction of the initial motion of the ball and the horizontal = 53°

t: time

You need the value of t when the projectile hits the ground. Then, in th equation (1) you make y = 0m.

When you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1), you obtain the following quadratic formula:

[tex]0=200+(25)sin53\°t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2\\\\0=200+19.96t-4.9t^2[/tex] (2)

You use the quadratic formula to obtain the value of t:

[tex]t_{1,2}=\frac{-19.96\pm\sqrt{(19.96)^2-4(-4.9)(200)}}{2(-4.9)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-19.96\pm65.71}{-9.8}\\\\t_1=8.74s\\\\t_2=-4.66s[/tex]

You use the positive value because it has physical meaning.

Now, you can calculate the horizontal range of the projectile by using the following formula:

[tex]x_{max}=v_ocos\theta t[/tex]      

[tex]x_{max}=(25m/s)(cos53\°)(8.74s)=131.49m[/tex]

The cannon ball travels a horizontal distance of 131.49 m

B. The cannon ball reaches the canon for t = 8.74s

C. The maximum height is obtained by using the following formula:

[tex]y_{max}=y_o+\frac{v_o^2sin^2\theta}{2g}[/tex]     (3)

By replacing in the equation (3) the values of all parameters you obtain:

[tex]y_{max}=200m+\frac{(25m/s)^2(sin53\°)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\y_{mac}=200m+20.33m=220.33m[/tex]

Length of the side, l = 1.8 m

Drag coefficient, C(d) = 1.4

Distance of run, d = 200 m

Velocity of run, v = 5 m/s

Density, ρ = 1.23

Using the Aerodynamics Drag Force formula. We have

F(d) = 1/2.ρ.A.C(d).v²

The Area, A needed is 1.8 * 1.8 = 3.24 m². So that,

F(d) = 1/2 * 1.23 * 3.24 * 1.4 * 5²

F(d) = 139.482/2

F(d) = 69.74

recall that, energy =

W = F * d

W = 69.74 * 200

W= 13948

W = 13.9kJ

The angle of refraction of sheet 3 when sheet 1 is on top of it is [tex]\theta_{r_s } = 23.1 ^o[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The angle of incidence is  [tex]\theta _i = 26.50 ^o[/tex]

      The angle of refraction angle for  sheet 1 is  [tex]\theta _{r_1}} = 31.70 ^o[/tex]

       The angle of refraction for sheet 3 is  [tex]\theta _{r_3}} = 36.70 ^o[/tex]

According to Snell's  law  

       [tex]\frac{n_2}{n_1} = \frac{sin (\theta_1)}{sin (\theta_{r_1})}[/tex]

Where  [tex]n_1 \ and \ n_2[/tex]  are refractive index of sheet 1  and  sheet 2  

       =>   [tex]n_2 = n_1 \frac{sin(\theta_i)}{sin (\theta _{r_1})}[/tex]

Also  when sheet 3 in on top of sheet 2

       [tex]\frac{n_2}{n_3} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_{r_3}}[/tex]

substituting for  [tex]n_2[/tex]

      [tex]n_1 \frac{sin(\theta_i)}{sin (\theta _{r_1})} = n_3 \frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_{r_3}}[/tex]

      [tex]n_1 \frac{sin(\theta_i)}{sin (\theta _{r_1})} = n_3 \frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_{r_3}}[/tex]

=>    [tex]n_3 = n_1 * \frac{sin(\theta_{r_3})}{sin(\theta_{r_1})}[/tex]

when sheet 1 in on top of sheet 3

        [tex]\frac{n_3}{n_1} = \frac{sin(\theta_i)}{\theta_{r_s}}[/tex]

where [tex]r_s[/tex] is the angle of refraction when sheet 1 is on top of sheet 3

         [tex]\frac{ n_1 * \frac{sin(\theta_{r_3})}{sin(\theta_{r_1})}}{n_1} = \frac{sin(\theta_i)}{\theta_{r_s}}[/tex]

=>   [tex]sin (\theta _{r_s}) = n_1 * sin (\theta_i) * \frac{sin (\theta_{r_1})}{ n_1 * sin(\theta_{r_3})}[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]sin (\theta _{r_s}) = n_1 * sin (26.50) * \frac{sin (31.70)}{ n_1 * sin(36.70)}[/tex]

=>     [tex]\theta_{r_s } = sin^{-1} (0.3923)[/tex]

Answer:

They had the same speed.

Explanation:

It won't be velocity, because velocity is a vector quantity. Speed is scalar.

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. During their periods of travel, the cars definitely had the same velocity.

Velocity is the directional speed of a moving object as an indicator of its rate of change in location as perceived from a certain frame of reference and measured by a specific time standard.

Given that the first car travels 40 meters due east in 5 seconds. Therefore, we can write,

Distance = 40 meters

Time = 5 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time = 40 meter/ 5 sec = 40 m/sec

Also, given that the second car travels 64 meters due west in 8 seconds. Therefore, we can write,

Distance = 64 meters

Time = 8 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time = 64 meter/ 8 sec = 8 m/sec

Hence, During their periods of travel, the cars definitely had the same velocity.

t = 25.5 min

Explanation:

To know how many minutes does Richard save, you first calculate the time that Richard takes with both velocities v1 = 65mph and v2 = 80mph.

[tex]t_1=\frac{x}{v_1}=\frac{150mi}{65mph}=2.30h\\\\t_2=\frac{x}{v_2}=\frac{150mi}{80mph}=1.875h[/tex]

Next, you calculate the difference between both times t1 and t2:

[tex]\Delta t=t_1-t_2=2.30h-1.875h=0.425h[/tex]

This is the time that Richard saves when he drives with a speed of 80mph. Finally, you convert the result to minutes:

[tex]0.425h*\frac{60min}{1h}=25.5min=25\ min\ \ 30 s[/tex]

hence, Richard saves 25.5 min (25 min and 30 s) when he drives with a speed of 80mph

Answer:

v = 25.45 m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the initial speed of the object, you take into account the formula for the maximum height reaches by the object. Such a formula is given by:

[tex]h_{max}=\frac{v_o^2}{g}[/tex]   (1)

vo: initial speed of the object = 18 m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

Furthermore you use the following formula for the final speed of the object:

[tex]v^2=v_o^2-2gh[/tex]       (2)

h: height

You know that the speed of the object is 18m/s when it reaches one fourth of the maximum height. You use this information, and you replace the equation (1) in to the equation (2), as follow:

[tex]v^2=v_o^2-2g(\frac{h_{max}}{4})=v_o^2-\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{v_o^2}{g})\\\\v^2=v_o^2-\frac{1}{2}v_o^2=\frac{1}{2}v_o^2[/tex]

Then, you solve the previous result for vo:

[tex]v_o=\sqrt{2}v=\sqrt{2}(18m/s)=25.45\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The initial speed of the object was 25.45 m/s

- To determine the longest wavelength ( λ ) to meet destructively at point Q with the given path difference. The order of wavelength ( n ) must be minimum ( 1 ). Therefore,

                           100 = λ/2

A dart is inserted into a spring - loaded dart gun by pushing the spring in by a distance x. For the next loading, the spring is compressed a distance 2x. How much faster does the second dart leave the gun compared to the first?

Answer:

The second dart leaves the gun two times faster than the first one.

Explanation:

If we assume there was no energy loss during the spring - dart energy transfer, we can easily apply the principle of conservation of energy. So;

Potential energy = kinetic energy

Thus;

½kx² = ½mv²

Making velocity "v" the subject, we have;

v = √(kx²/m)

Since the initial distance is "x", thus initial launching velocity is;

v1 = √(kx²/m)

Since next distance is 2x, thus, second launch velocity is;

v2 = √(k(2x)²/m)

Expanding, we have;

v2 = √(4kx²/m)

v2 = 2√(kx²/m)

Comparing this to the one gotten for v1 earlier, we can see that it is double v1.

So, v2 = 2v1

Hence, The second dart leaves the gun two times faster than the first one.

Fnet = 63N to the nearest whole

The net force on the couch as it slides is  63N.

What is frictional force?

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction force.

The friction force is given by

f = coefficient of friction x Normal force

Given, the coefficient of kinetic friction between a couch and the floor is 0.4. If the couch has a mass of 35 kg and you push it with a force of 200 N.

Normal reaction is the weight of the human acting in opposite direction.

Normal reaction N =35 × 9.8 = 343N

Frictional force f =0.4 x 343

                          f =137.20N

The net force will be

Fnet= Fappplied - Ffrictional

Fnet = 200-137.20 = 62.8N

Fnet = 63N

The minimum angular spread of the laser beam is 3.32 × [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] radians (or 3.32 μrad).

Explanation:

The minimum angular spread of a wave is the ratio of its narrowest diameter to its wavelength.

From Rayleigh's formula,

Angular spread = 1.22 (wavelength ÷ diameter)

a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -12t

At acceleration = 0, take time as T in velocity function.

0 =v(T) = 24 - 6T²

Solve for T

[tex] T = \sqrt{\frac{-24}{6}} = \sqrt{-4} = -2 [/tex]

Substitute -2 for t in acceleration function:

a(t) = a(T) = a(-2) = -12(-2) = 24 m/s

Acceleration = 24m/s
