You are a world-famous physicist-lawyer defending a client who has been charged with murder. It is alleged
that your client, Mr. Lawton, shot the victim, Mr. Cray. The detective who investigated the scene of the
crime, Mr. Dibny, found a second bullet, from a shot that missed Mr. Cray, that had embedded itself into a
chair. You arise to cross-examine the detective.
You: In what type of chair did you find the bullet?
Dinby: A wooden chair.
You: How massive was this chair?
Dinby: It had a mass of 20 kg.
You: How did the chair respond to being struck with a bullet?
Dinby: It slid across the floor.
You: How far?
Dinby: Three centimeters. The slide marks on the dusty floor are quite distinct.
You: What kind of floor was it?
Dinby: A wood floor.
You: What was the mass of the bullet you retrieved from the chair?
Dinby: Its mass was 10 g.
You: Have you tested the gun you found in Mr. Lawton's possession?
Dinby: I have.
You: What is the muzzle velocity of bullets fired from that gun?
Dinby: The muzzle velocity is 450 m/s.
With only slight hesitation, you turn confidently to the jury and proclaim, "My client's gun did not fire those
shots!"
(a) How are you going to convince the jury and judge?
(b) Choose one part of your solution and perform a sense-making analysis. Clearly state which sensemaking analysis you’ve chosen and why.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It was not fired from the client's gun because the chair slid only 3 centimeters . If it had been fired from the client's gun the chair would slid 25.82 centimeters.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum the momentum of the system before collision must be equal to the momentum of the system after the collision.

M1u1= m2u2

Let M1 = mass of the chair = 20kg

     m2= mass of the bullet= 10g= 0.001kg

      u1= velocity of the chair before collision = zero m/s

      u2 =  velocity of the bullet before collision = zero m/s

         v1= velocity of the chair after collision = ?  m/s  

        v2 =  velocity of the bullet after collision = 450 m/s

After collision their velocities change from u1 to v1 and u2 to v2 so

M1v1= m2v2

v1= m2v2/M1

v1= 0.01 *450/ 20=  0.225 m/s

Now according to the law of conservation of energy the energy of the system before collision must be equal to the energy of the system after the collision.

The energy of the chair after the bullet is hit is

KE of the chair + KE of the bullet=  1/2 (M)(v1)²+ 1/2 m(v2)²=

1/2 ( 20) (0.225 )² + 1/2 (0.01) (450)²

= 0.50625 + 1012.5=  1013.00625 Joules

Frictional force = Coefficient of kinetic force of wood on wood ( M+m) g

                           = 0.2* ( 20.01) 9.8=   39.2196 N

Work done by friction = frictional force * distance

If law of conservation of energy is applied  the KE  must be equal to the work done

KE = W

W= f*d

KE= F*d

d = KE/f= 1013.00625/ 39.2196= 25.82 cm

The chair did not move 25.82 cm .

It only moved 3 centimeter.

Hence the bullet fired was not from the client's gun.

Answers

Answer:

357 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of arrow in the stretched bow is 357 J.

The kinetic energy of the arrow after it has been shot is given by half of the product of the arrow's mass and velocity of the arrow.

Here there are no other forms of energy at play here. Only potential and kinetic energy.

As we know that in any system the energy is conserved accordingly the elastic potential energy of the arrow will be equal to the kinetic energy of the bow after it is released i.e., 357 J.

A block, whose mass is 0.500 kg, is attached to a spring with a force constant of 126 N/m. The block rests upon a frictionless, horizontal surface. A block labeled m is attached to the right end of a horizontal spring, and the left end of the spring is attached to a wall. The spring is stretched horizontally such that the block is displaced by a distance A to the right of its equilibrium position. The block is pulled to the right a distance A = 0.120 m from its equilibrium position (the vertical dashed line) and held motionless. The block is then released from rest. (a) At the instant of release, what is the magnitude of the spring force (in N) acting upon the block? N (b) At that very instant, what is the magnitude of the block's acceleration (in m/s2)? m/s2 (c) In what direction does the acceleration vector point at the instant of release?

Answers

Answer:

(a) F = 15.12 N

(b) a = 30.24 m/s²

(c) To Left

Explanation:

(a)

The magnitude of the spring force is given by Hooke's Law as follows:

F = kx

where,

F = Spring Force = ?

k = Spring Constant = 126 N/m

x = Displacement = A = 0.12 m

Therefore,

F = (126 N/m)(0.12 m)

F = 15.12 N

(b)

The magnitude of acceleration can be found by comparing the spring force with the unbalanced force formula of Newton's Second Law:

F = ma

where,

F = Spring Force = 15.12 N

m = mass of block = 0.5 kg

a = magnitude of acceleration = ?

15.12 N = 0.5 kg (a)

a = 15.12 N/0.5 kg

a = 30.24 m/s²

(c)

Since, the acceleration is always directed towards mean (equilibrium) position in periodic motion. Therefore, the direction of the acceleration at the time of release will be to left.

You are working out on a rowing machine. Each time you pull the rowing bar (which simulates the oars) toward you, it moves a distance of 1.1 m in a time of 1.3 s. The readout on the display indicates that the average power you are producing is 92 W. What is the magnitude of the force that you exert on the handle?

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of force exerted on the handle is 108.73 N

Explanation:

To determine the magnitude of force exerted, we will use the formula relating Power and Force.

Power is the rate at which work is done. Power can be calculated from the formula

Power = Work / Time

But, Work = Force × Distance

Hence,

Power is given by the formula

[tex]P = \frac{F \times s}{t}[/tex]

Where P is the Power

F is the force

s is the distance

and t is the time

From [tex]P = \frac{F \times s}{t}[/tex],

Then we can write that

[tex]F = \frac{P \times t}{s}[/tex]

From the question,

Distance, s = 1.1 m

Time, t = 1.3 s

Power, P = 92 W

Putting these values into the formula, we get

[tex]F = \frac{92 \times 1.3}{1.1}[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{119.6}{1.1}[/tex]

[tex]F = 108.73N[/tex]

Hence, the magnitude of force exerted on the handle is 108.73 N.

A 10.0 kg mass is attached to the end of a 2.00 m long brass rod, which has a diameter of 1.00 mm and negligible mass. The mass at the end is pulled, stretching the rod slightly, and then released. If the elastic modulus of brass is 9.10 × 1010 N/m2, then the period of the resulting oscillations is
A. 0.175 sec.
B. 0.105 sec.
C. 0.133 sec.
D. 0.145 sec.
E. 0.167 sec.

Answers

Answer:

The appropriate alternative is Option B (0.105 sec.).

Explanation:

The given values are:

Elastic modulus,

Y = 9.10 × 10¹⁰ N/m²

Mass,

m = 10.0 kg

Length of rod,

l = 2.00 m

Diameter,

d = 1.00 mm

Now,

⇒ [tex]Keq=\frac{AY}{l}= \frac{\pi D^2 Y}{4l}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                   [tex]=\frac{\pi \times 10^{-6}\times 9.1\times 10^{10}}{4\times 2}[/tex]

⇒                   [tex]=3.574\times 10^4[/tex]

The time period will be:

⇒ [tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{Keq} }[/tex]

On substituting the above values, we get

⇒     [tex]=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{10}{3.574\times 10^4}}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=0.105 \ seconds[/tex]

The time period resulting oscillations will be 0.1005 seconds.

What is the time period of oscillation?

The period is the amount of time it takes for a particle to perform one full oscillation. T is the symbol for it. Taking the reciprocal of the frequency yields the frequency of the oscillation.

The given data in the problem is;

[tex]\rm \gamma[/tex] is the elastic modulus=9.10 × 10¹⁰ N/m²

m is the mass= 10.0 kg

l is the length of brass rod= 2.00 m

d is the diameter of 1.00 mm

The value of the equivalent stiffness will be;

[tex]\rm K_{eq}= \frac{AY}{l}\\\\ \rm K_{eq}= = \frac{\pi d^2 Y}{4l} \\\\ \rm K_{eq}=\frac{3.14 \times 10^{-6}\times 9.1 \times 10^{10} }{4\times 2 } \\\\ \rm K_{eq}= 3.574 \times 10^4[/tex]

The time period of the  oscillation is given by;

[tex]\rm T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_{eq}} } \\\\ \rm T = 2 \times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{10}{3.574 \times 10^4}[/tex]

[tex]\rm T = 0.105 \ sec[/tex]

Hence the time period resulting oscillations will be 0.1005 seconds.

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net work while rejecting the waste heat to a sink at 300K. Is this a reasonable claim

Answers

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.

g A 320-g air track cart is traveling at 1.25 m/s and a 270-g cart traveling in the opposite direction at 1.33 m/s. What is the speed of the center of mass of the two carts

Answers

Answer:

1.287m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of mass expressed as;

m1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects

u1 and u2 are the velocities

v is the speed of the center of mas of the two carts

Given

m1 = 320g = 0.32kg

u1 = 1.25m/s

m2 = 270g = 0.27kg

u2 = 1.33m/s

Substitute this value into the formula and get v;

0.32(1.25)+0.27(1.33) =  (0.32+0.27)v

0.4+0.3591 = 0.59v

0.7591 = 0.59v

v = 0.7591/0.59

v = 1.287m/s

hence the speed of the center of mass of the two carts is 1.287m/s

A person who weighs 670 N steps onto a spring scale in the bath- room, and the spring compresses by 0.79 cm. (a) What is the spring con- stant

Answers

Answer:

The spring constant is 84,810.13 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

applied force on the spring scale, f = 670 N

extention of the spring, x = 0.79 cm = 0.0079 m

Apply Hook's law to determine the spring constant;

f = kx

where;

f is the applied force

k is the spring constant

x is the is the extension

k = 670 / 0.0079

k = 84,810.13 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant is 84,810.13 N/m

A wheel accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 4.5 rad/s2. If the initial angular velocity is 1.0 rad/s, what is the angle the wheel rotates through in 2.0 s?

Answers

Answer:

The angle which the wheel rotates through in 2 seconds is   [tex]\theta =11 \ radians[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The constant angular acceleration of the wheel is [tex]\alpha = 4.5 rad/s^2[/tex]  

     The initial angular velocity of the wheel is  [tex]w_1 = 1.0 \ rad/s[/tex]

     The time duration considered is  [tex]t = 2.0 \ s[/tex]

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      [tex]\theta = w_1 t +\frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]\theta = 1.0 * 2 +\frac{1}{2} * 4.5 * 2^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]\theta =11 \ radians[/tex]

b. What is the force on the protons?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a) centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of a body in a circular path. It is expressed as;

a = mv²/r

m is the mass of proton = 1.67×10^−27kg

v is the velocity = 3.00×10^8m/s

r is the radius

Since C = 2πr

7000m = 2πr

r = 7000/2π

r = 1114.08m

Substitute

a = 1.67×10^−27 (3.00×10^8)²/1114.08

a =  1.67×10^−27 * 9×10^16/1114.08

a = 15.03*10^-11/1114.08

a = 0.001346*10^-11

a = 1.346*10^-14m/s²

b) Force on the proton = mass * acceleration

Force = 1.67×10^−27kg * 1.346*10^-14

Force = 2.246*10^-41N

hence the force on the proton is 2.246*10^-41N
