Tech A says that when checking a voltage drop across an open switch, a measurement of 12 volts is normal. Tech B says that when checking voltage drop across an open switch, a measurement of 12 volts means there are 12 volts on each side of the switch. Who is correct

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

The voltage drop between the two terminals of a circuit is the measurement of the potential difference between the two terminals.

If [tex]v_1[/tex] and [tex]v_2[/tex] ( assuming [tex]v_1 > v_2[/tex]) are potentials at terminal 1 and terminal 2 of the given open circuit.

According to A, the measurement of the potential drop is 12 volts, i.e

The measurement of potential difference [tex]=v_1 -v_2[/tex]

= 12 volts which is correct.

But according to B, a measurement of 12 volts means there are 12 volts on each side of the switch ([tex]v_1= 12[/tex] volts and [tex]v_2=12[/tex] volts), i.e

According to the claim of B, the potential difference (or drop) across the terminals is

[tex]v_1-v_2= 12-12=0[/tex] but the measured potential drop is 12 volts, so B is wrong.

Hence, Tech B is correct.

What is the critical angle of a light beam passed from a medium (n=2) to a medium (n=1.2)?

Answers

Answer:

θ_c = 36.87°

Explanation:

Index of refraction for index medium; n_i = 2

Index of refraction for Refractive medium; n_r = 1.2

Formula to find the critical angle is given;

n_i(sin θ_c) = n_r(sin 90)

Where θ_c is critical angle.

Thus;

2 × (sin θ_c) = 1.2 × 1

(sin θ_c) = 1.2/2

(sin θ_c) = 0.6

θ_c = sin^(-1) 0.6

θ_c = 36.87°

A 2000 kg car moves along a horizontal road at speed vo

15.9 m/s. The road is

wet, so the static friction coefficient between

the tires and the road is only pls 0.105 and

the kinetic friction coefficient is even lower,

= 0.0735.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.

What is the shortest possible stopping dis-

tance for the car under such conditions? Use

g= 9.8 m/s² and neglect the reaction time of

the driver.

Answer in units of m.

Answers

Answer:

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

Explanation:

In this case we see that driver use the brakes to stop the car by means of kinetic friction force. Deceleration of the car is directly proportional to kinetic friction coefficient and can be determined by Second Newton's Law:

[tex]\Sigma F_{x} = -\mu_{k}\cdot N = m \cdot a[/tex] (Eq. 1)

[tex]\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2)

After quick handling, we get that deceleration experimented by the car is equal to:

[tex]a = -\mu_{k}\cdot g[/tex] (Eq. 3)

Where:

[tex]a[/tex] - Deceleration of the car, measured in meters per square second.

[tex]\mu_{k}[/tex] - Kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that [tex]\mu_{k} = 0.0735[/tex] and [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], then deceleration of the car is:

[tex]a = -(0.0735)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )[/tex]

[tex]a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]

The stopping distance of the car ([tex]\Delta s[/tex]), measured in meters, is determined from the following kinematic expression:

[tex]\Delta s = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}[/tex] (Eq. 4)

Where:

[tex]v_{o}[/tex] - Initial speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

[tex]v[/tex] - Final speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

If we know that [tex]v_{o} = 15.9\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], stopping distance of the car is:

[tex]\Delta s = \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(15.9\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta s = 175.319\,m[/tex]

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

A 3 kg rock is subject to the force of gravity for 8 s. What is the impulse?

Answers

Answer:

The impulse on the block due to force of gravity is 235.2 N.s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 3 kg

time of force of gravity action on the block, t = 8 s

Force of gravity on the block is given as;

F = mg

where;

m is mass of the block

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F is the force of gravity

Substitute the given values and calculate F

F = mg

F = 3 x 9.8

F = 29.4 N

The Impulse on the block is given by;

J = Ft

J = 29.4 N x 8 s

J = 235.2 N.s

Therefore, the impulse on the block due to force of gravity is 235.2 N.s

When examining evidence, the investigators might want to be more careful examining chemical properties than physical properties because anything that involve chemical reaction are irreversible. While physical one can be reversible.

Also, reaction can easily take place when examining the chemical properties of some substances.

It is seldom for reaction to take place with physical one.

there can be some complications and danger with chemical properties but less complication and danger with physical one.

The inertia of an object depends on its

Answers

Answer:

Inertia of an object depends on the mass of the object.

Explanation:

Inertia is the property that is possessed by a matter( anything that has weight and occupies space) that enables it to be at rest or in a state of continuous uniform motion.

The inertial of a body is the resistance that is present in the body, that forces acting on the body have to overcome for the body to move or continue moving.

The inertia of a body depends on the mass of such a body, which is directly proportional. The mass of an object is the measure of inertia,  the bigger the mass of an object the bigger the inertia.

Therefore the Inertia of an object is largely dependent on the mass of such an object.

F all of the energy in a falling object's gravitational potential energy store is transferred to its kinetic energy store by the time it lands, then the relationship shown below can be used. Which of the four options below it correctly shows how this relationship can be expressed in terms of height, h?

Answers

Answer:

The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.

For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:

U = m*g*H

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.

Uinitial = Kfinal.

m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2

v^2 = 2*g*H

v = √(2*g*H)

So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.

You push a desk with 245 N, but the desk doesn't move due to its friction with the ground. What is the magnitude of the friction force felt by the desk?

Answers

If the desk doesn't move, then it's not accelerating.

If it's not accelerating, then the net force on it is zero.

If the net force on it is zero, then any forces on it are balanced.

If there are only two forces on it and they're balanced, then they have equal strengths, and they point in opposite directions.

So the friction on the desk must be equal to your 245N .

What is the force of an object with a mass of 30 kg that is free falling?

Answers

Answer:

F = 294.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. It is this particular case the acceleration is due to the gravitational acceleration since the body is in free fall.

Therefore we have:

F = m*g

where:

F  = force [N]

m = mass = 30 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

F = 30*9.81

F = 294.3 [N]

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. The temperature of the air affects the speed of sound

Explanation:

The information given are;

The speed with which sound travels in the desert air = 358 m/s

The speed with which sound travels in the polar air = 330 m/s

The major difference between the desert air and the polar air is that the temperature of the desert air is hotter than the temperature of the air in the polar region. Therefore the speed of sound is affected by the air temperature.

The equation that gives the relationship of the speed of sound in air, [tex]v_{air}[/tex], to temperature is presented as follows;

[tex]v_{air} = 331\frac{m}{s} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{T_K}{273 K} } = 331\frac{m}{s} \times \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{T_{^{\circ}C}}{273 ^{\circ} C} }[/tex]

Which shows that the speed of sound in air, [tex]v_{air}[/tex], rises as the temperature of the air rises.

Where;

[tex]T_{^{\circ}C}[/tex] = The temperature of the air in degrees Celsius

[tex]T_K[/tex] = The temperature of the air in degrees Kelvin.

A tractor drags a 313kg plow across a field at 2.0 m/s . If the coefficient of friction between the plow and the ground is 0.570, how much force does the tractor apply to the plow ?

Answers

Answer:

The tractor applies 1,748.418 N to the plow.

Explanation:

Net Force

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

Fn=m.a

If the acceleration is zero, then the net force is also zero. That means all forces acting on the mass are balanced.

The tractor drags the m=313 Kg plow at a constant speed, thus the acceleration is zero and so is the net force.

The horizontal forces acting on the plow are:

The force applied by the tractor FtThe friction of the ground Fr

Since both forces are balanced, then:

Ft=Fr

The friction force is calculated as:

[tex]Fr=\mu \cdot N[/tex]

Where [tex]\mu[/tex] is the coefficient of friction between the plow and the ground and N is the normal force. In the situation described, the normal force is equal to the weight of the plow:

[tex]N=W=m.g=313*9.8=3,067.4[/tex]

The normal force is N=3,067.4 N

The friction force is now calculated:

[tex]Fr=0.579 \cdot 3,067.4\ N[/tex]

[tex]Fr=1,748.418\ N[/tex]

Thus, the tractor applies 1,748.418 N to the plow.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity)  / time

Acceleration of W = ( 91 - 60 ) / 5.38 = 5.76 m /s²

Acceleration of X  = ( 68 - 39  ) / 5.38 = 5.39  m /s²

Acceleration of Y = ( 70 - 42 ) / 5.38 = 5.20 m /s²

Acceleration of W = ( 94 - 65 ) / 5.38 = 5.39  m /s²

So Train Y is the smallest acceleration.
