An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know about the explosion?
Choose:--
From the sound of the explosion
From the light due to the explosion
From light and sound due to the explosion
From the vibrations due to the explosion

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

In a 30cm by 25cm rectangle, a quadrant of a circle of radius 7cm has been cut away from each corner. What is the perimeter of the part left? ​

Answers

Answer: 98cm

Explanation:

Dimension of rectangle = 30cm by 25cm

Length(l) = 30cm

Width(w) = 25cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)

Quadrant of circle cut away of each side of the rectangle :

Radius = 7 cm =

That is, the dimension of the triangle reduces by 2 * 7 = 14cm

New length = 30 - 14 = 16cm

New width = 25 - 14 = 11cm

The four corners =( 4 × 2πr ) / 4

2πr = 2 × 22/7 × 7 = 44cm

Perimeter = 2(16cm + 11cm)

= 2(27cm)

Perimeter = 54cm + 44 = 98cm

A cord is wrapped around the outer surface of the 8-kg disk. If a force of F = (1⁄4u2) N, where u is in radians, is applied to the cord, determine the disk’s angular acceleration when it has turned 5 revol

Answers

A cord is wrapped around the outer surface of the 8-kg disk. If a force of F = (1⁄4θ²) N, where θ is in radians, is applied to the cord, determine the disk’s angular acceleration when it has turned 5 revolutions. The disc has an initial angular velocity [tex]\omega _o = 1 \ rad/s[/tex] and radius from the center of the disc = 300 mm

Answer:

the angular acceleration = 205.706 rad/sec²

Explanation:

GIVEN THAT:

The disc mass = 8 kg

Force = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4} \ \ \theta ^2* N[/tex]

We are told that the given θ is in radians; Therefore; the when it has turned 5 revolutions; we have the θ to be:

[tex]\theta = 5 rev * (\dfrac{2 \ \pi * rad}{1 rev}) \\ \\ \theta = 10 \ \pi \ rad[/tex]

Also;

the initial angular velocity [tex]\omega _o = 1 \ rad/s[/tex]

radius from the center of the disc = 300 mm = 0.3 m

Thus; the mass moment about the Inertia can be determined via the following expression;

[tex]I_o = \dfrac{1}{2}*m*r^2[/tex]

[tex]I_o = \dfrac{1}{2}*8*0.3^2[/tex]

[tex]I_o = 0.36 \ kg/m^3[/tex]

Now to calculate the angular acceleration; we equate the sum of the moments acting on the Inertia;

SO:

[tex]\sum M_o = I_o \alpha[/tex]

[tex]F*0.3 = 0.36* \alpha[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}* \theta^2 *0.3 = 0.36* \alpha[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 0.20836 \ \theta^2 \ rad/sec^2[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 0.20836 \ (10 \ \pi )^2 \ rad/sec^2[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 205.706 \ rad/sec^2[/tex]

Hence; the angular acceleration = 205.706 rad/sec²

why the weight of a body decreases with increases in distance from the earth's surface​

Answers

because as the distance increases the gravitational force decreases so the weight of a body decreases

Answer:

Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth because weight is inversely proportional to distance from the Earth which means Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth and vice versa. Also Weight is "gravitational force exerted on the body" so as the distance from the Earth increases , the "gravitational force" decreases.

if the resistance of a car headlight is 15 ohm and the current through it is 0.60, what is the voltage across the headlight?

Answers

Answer:

9 volts (assuming 0.60 is in Amperes)

Explanation:

Recall that Ohms law can be expressed as

V = IR, where

V = voltage,

I = current (given as 0.6. I'm going to assume that the units is Amperes because it is not given)

R = resistance (given as 15 ohm)

substituting the above values into the formula

V = IR

V = (0.6)(15)

V = 9 Volts

Answer is 9 V you use Ohm’s Law to solve the problem

How much energy (in Joules) is released when 12.0 g of water cools from 20.0 °C to 11.0 °C? This is a grade 10 question from the Climate unit (from Canada)

Answers

Answer: - 452.088joule

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of water = 12g

Change in temperature(Dt) = (11 - 20)°C = - 9°C

Specific heats capacity of water(c) = 4.186j/g°C

Q = mcDt

Where Q = quantity of heat

Q = 12g × 4.186j/g°C × - 9°C

Q = - 452.088joule

a motorcar is moving with a velocity of 108 km / h and it takes 4s to stop after the brakes are applied calculate the force exerted by the brakes on the motorcar if it's mass along with the passengers is 1000 kg​

Answers

Answer:

-7500 N

Explanation:

v₀ = 108 km/h = 30 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4 s

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 30 m/s) / 4 s

a = -7.5 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1000 kg) (-7.5 m/s²)

F = -7500 N

Answer:-7500

Explanation v₀ = 108 km/h = 30 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4 s

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 30 m/s) / 4 s

a = -7.5 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1000 kg) (-7.5 m/s²)

F = -7500 N

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the objects acceleration. When a force of 24N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 3m/s^2. If the acceleration of the object becomes 10m/s^2, what is the force

Answers

Answer:

80 N

Explanation:

From the question,

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

Where F = Force, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration of the object.

make m the subject of the equation

m = F/a.................... Equation 2

Given: F = 24 N, a = 3 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

m = 24/3

m = 8 kg.

If the acceleration of the object becomes 10 m/s²,

Substitute into equation 1

F = 10(8)

F = 80 N.

Answers

Answer:

Option A:  F/4

Explanation:

Centripetal force, [tex]F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}[/tex]

Where v = speed

r = radius

Since Kinetic Energy, [tex]E_{k} = 0.5 mv^{2}[/tex]

Writing centripetal force in terms of kinetic energy, [tex]F = \frac{2 E_k}{r}[/tex]

If the initial radius of the circle, r₁ =r

The doubled radius, r₂ = 2r

If the initial kinetic energy, [tex]KE_1 = E_{k}[/tex]

The halved kinetic energy,  [tex]KE_2 = 0.5E_{k}[/tex]

Therefore, the new Centripetal force becomes:

[tex]F_{2} = \frac{2(0.5 E_k)}{2r} \\F_{2} = \frac{0.5 E_k}{r}\\F_{2} =\frac{1}{4} * \frac{2 E_k}{r}\\Since, F = \frac{2 E_k}{r} \\F_{2} =\frac{1}{4} * F\\F_{2} =\frac{F}{4}[/tex]

Answer:

The difference in tension,  between adjacent sections of the pull cable at the given conditions is 17.701 kN

Explanation:

We take the cars as moving upwards such that the resultant pulling force on the car, F, along the cable is given by the relation

[tex]F_{car}[/tex] = Upward tension force,  [tex]Tension_{(upwards)}[/tex] - Downward tension force, [tex]Tension_{(downwards)}[/tex] - Component of the weight of the car along the taut cable

The parameters given are;

Mass of car, m = 2750 kg

Angle of inclination of taut cables, θ = 35°

The upward acceleration of the car, a = 0.81 m/s²

Given that the weight is acting vertically downwards, we have;

Component of the weight of the car along the taut cable = m × g × sin(θ)

∴ Component of the weight of the car along the taut cable = 2750 × 9.81 × sin (35°) = 15473.66 N

We therefore have;

[tex]F_{car}[/tex] =  [tex]Tension_{(upwards)}[/tex] - [tex]Tension_{(downwards)}[/tex] - 15473.66 N

[tex]F_{car}[/tex]  = m × a = 2750 × 0.81 =  [tex]T_{upwards}[/tex] - [tex]T_{downwards}[/tex] - 15473.66

∴  [tex]Tension_{(upwards)}[/tex] - [tex]Tension_{(downwards)}[/tex] = 2750 × 0.81 + 15473.66 = 17701.16 N

Hence the difference in tension,  [tex]Tension_{(upwards)}[/tex] - [tex]Tension_{(downwards)}[/tex] between adjacent sections of the pull cable if the cars are at the maximum permissible mass and are being accelerated up the incline = 17701.16 N or 17.701 kN.

where b would be the initial length of spring let's calculate the slope for which we use two well separated points
