A solid concrete block weighs 169 N and is resting on the ground. Its dimensions are
0.400m×0.200m×0.100m
A number of identical blocks are stacked on top of this one. What is the smallest number of whole blocks (including the one on the ground) that can be stacked so that their weight creates a pressure of at least two atmospheres on the ground beneath the first block?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

cross sectional area = .4 x .2 = .08 m²

Let n be the number of blocks required to make pressure = 2 atm

169 x n / .08 = 2 x 10⁵ N / m²

169 x n = .16 x 10⁵

n = 94.67

or 95 blocks .

A cylindrical wire of radius 2 mm carries a current of 3.0 A. The potential difference between points on the wire that are 44 m apart is 3.8 V.

Required:
a. What is the electric field in the wire?
b. What is the resistivity of the material of which the wire is made?

Answers

Answer:

a. E = 86.36 x 10⁻³ V/m = 86.36 mV/m

b. ρ = 3.6 x 10⁻⁷ Ωm

Explanation:

a.

The electric field in terms of the voltage is given by the following formula:

E = V/d

where,

E = Electric Field in the Wire = ?

V = Potential Difference = 3.8 V

d = distance between the points = 44 m

Therefore,

E = 3.8 V/44 m

E = 86.36 x 10⁻³ V/m = 86.36 mV/m

b.

Now, from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

R = V/I

where,

R = Resistance of wire = ?

I = Current = 3 A

Therefore,

R = 3.8 V/3 A

R = 1.27 Ω

Now, the resistance of a wire can be given as:

R = ρL/A

where,

ρ = resistivity of material = ?

L = Length = 44 m

A = Cross-sectional area = πr² = π(0.002 m)² =  1.25 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Therefore,

1.27 Ω = ρ*44 m/1.25 x 10⁻⁵ m²

(1.27 Ω)(1.25 x 10⁻⁵ m²)/44 m = ρ

ρ = 3.6 x 10⁻⁷ Ωm

Question 1 options:
3.3 m
16.2 m
53.4 m
8.9 m

Answers

Answer:

h = 51.75 m

nearest answer is:

53.4 m

Explanation:

First we analyze the horizontal motion. Since, the air friction is assumed to be negligible. Hence, the horizontal motion shall be uniform. Therefore,

s = V₀ₓ t

where,

s = horizontal distance = 39 m

V₀ₓ = Horizontal Initial Velocity = 12 m/s

t = time = ?

Therefore,

39 m = (12 m/s)t

t = 39 m/12 m/s

t = 3.25 s

Now, we analyze the vertical motion. Applying newton's second equation of motion to vertical motion:

h = V₀y t + (1/2)gt²

where,

h = height of cannon = ?

V₀y = initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

h = (0 m/s)(3.25 s) + (1/2)(9.8 m/s²)(3.25 s)²

h = 51.75 m

Which statement explains how it is possible to carry books to school without changing the kinetic or potential energy of the books or doing any work?
a. by moving the book without acceleration and keeping the height of the book constant
b. by moving the book with acceleration and keeping the height of the book constant
c. by moving the book without acceleration and changing the height of the book
d. by moving the book with acceleration and changing the height of the book

Answers

Answer:

a. by moving the book without acceleration and keeping the height of the book constant

Explanation:

FOR CONSTANT KINETIC ENERGY:

The kinetic energy of a body depends upon its speed according to its formula:

ΔK.E = (1/2)mΔv²

So, for Δv = 0 m/s

ΔK.E = 0 J

So, for keeping kinetic energy constant, the books must be moved at constant speed without acceleration.

FOR CONSTANT POTENTIAL ENERGY:

The potential energy of a body depends upon its height according to its formula:

ΔP.E = mgΔh

So, for Δh = 0 m/s

ΔP.E = 0 J

So, for keeping potential energy constant, the books must be moved at constant height.

So, the correct option is:

a. by moving the book without acceleration and keeping the height of the book constant

In a certain time, light travels 3.50 km in a vacuum. During the same time, light travels only 2.35 km in a liquid. What is the refractive index of the liquid?

Answers

Answer:

1.45

Explanation:

Refractive index of the liquid is given as;

Refractive index = [tex]\frac{speed of light in vacuum}{speed of light in liquid}[/tex]

But,

speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Since a certain light of specific wavelength was used during the same time, let the time be represented by t.

So that;

speed of light in vacuum = [tex]\frac{3500}{t}[/tex]

speed of light in the liquid = [tex]\frac{2350}{t}[/tex]

Refractive index = [tex]\frac{3500}{t}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{2350}{t}[/tex]

                            = [tex]\frac{3500}{t}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{t}{2350}[/tex]

Refractive index = [tex]\frac{3500}{2350}[/tex]

                          = 1.4536

                          = 1.45

The refractive index of the liquid is 1.45.

What horizontal speed must a pumpkin be thrown to hit a car 13.4 meters away from a building which stands 10.4 meters tall?
A) 1.5 m/s
B) 2.1 m/s
C)6.1 m/s
D) 8.9 m/s​

Answers

Answer:

V₀ₓ = 9.2 m/s

Nearest answer:

D) 8.9 m/s

Explanation:

First we find the time taken by the pumpkin to hit the car. For that purpose we apply 2nd equation of motion to the pumpkin:

h = V₀y t + (1/2)gt²

where,

h = height of building = 10.4 m

V₀y = vertical component of initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

10.4 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (1/2)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = (10.4 m)(2)/(9.8 m/s²)

t = √[2.122 s²]

t = 1.45 s

Now, we analyze horizontal motion for horizontal component of initial velocity. We assume air friction to be zero so that the horizontal motion is uniform. Therefore,

s = V₀ₓ t

where,

s = horizontal distance between building and car = 13.4 m

V₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Initial Velocity = ?

Therefore,

13.4 m = V₀ₓ(1.45 s)

V₀ₓ = 13.4 m/1.45 s

V₀ₓ = 9.2 m/s

What is the distance and the displacement of the race car drivers in the Indy 500?

Answers

Answer here

The cars essentially finish where they started, their displacement is close to zero kilometers. However, the winning vehicles have traveled 500 miles.

What is displacement?

The separation between two places of an item in motion is known as displacement. Therefore, it relies on both the starting position and the ending position. Displacement is also the shortest distance between the initial and ultimate places.

The distinction between two locations of an object is known as displacement. Because it has both a direction and magnitude, it qualifies as a vector quantity. The symbol for it is an arrow pointing from the first position to the final position. The cars essentially finish where they started, their displacement is close to zero kilometers. However, the winning vehicles have traveled 500 miles.

Therefore,  their displacement is close to zero kilometers.

In your new job, you are the technical advisor for the writers of a gangster movie about Bonnie and Clyde. In one scene Bonnie and Clyde are being pursued by a police car. They are 750m from a level railroad crossing travelling at 100 km/hr. A train is 500 meters from the crossing travelling at 130 km/hr. The level crossing is on the state line, and so if they can beat the train, they could evade capture, at least for a while until they become Federal fugitives. They accelerate at a constant rate of 4 m/s2 toward the crossing. The writers want to know if Bonnie and Clyde make it across the crossing before the train.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of train 130 km /hr

distance of crossing s = 500 m = .5 km

Time taken by train to reach crossing = .5 / 130 = .003846 hr = 13.85 s

Time taken by gangster to reach the crossing = t

initial velocity u = 100km/h = 27.77 m /s

distance of crossing s = 750 m

acceleration a = 4 m /s

s = ut + .5 a t²

750 = 27.77 t + .5 x 4 x t²

2 t² + 27.77 t - 750 = 0

t = - 27.77 ± √(27.77² + 4 x 2 x 750) / 2 x 2

= - 27.77 ±√ ( 771.17 + 6000) / 4

= - 27.77 ±82.28 / 4

= 13.62 s

So this time is less than time taken by train so it will be able to cross the crossing before train arrives .

A car is traveling west for 12 s its speed is 36.12 m/s in the same direction find the total distance the car traveled

Answers

We are given:

constant speed of the car (u) = 36.12 m/s

time in question (t) = 12 seconds

Solving for the Distance and Displacement:

from the second equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

since we have 0 acceleration:

s = ut

replacing the variables

s = 36.12 * 12

s = 433.44 m

Since the car is travelling in a straight line towards the same direction, it's Distance will be equal to its Displacement

Hence, both the Displacement and Distance covered by the car is

433.44 m

but since Displacement also has a direction vector along with it,

the Displacement will be  433.44 m due west

(a) what is the magnitude of the force that each sphere each sphere experience, and is the force attractive or repulsive ? (b) The spheres are brought into contact and then separated toa distance of 2.50cm. Determine the magnitude of the force that each sphere now experiences, and state whether the force is attractive or repulsive.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]14400\ \text{N}[/tex], Attractive

[tex]3240\ \text{N}[/tex], Repulsive

Explanation:

[tex]q_1[/tex] = -20 μC

[tex]q_2[/tex] = 50 μC

r = Distance between the charges = 2.5 cm

k = Coulomb constant = [tex]9\times 10^9\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{C}^2[/tex]

Electrical force is given by

[tex]F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (-20\times 10^{-6})\times (50\times 10^{-6})}{(2.5\times10^{-2})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=-14400\ \text{N}[/tex]

The magnitude of force each sphere will experience is [tex]14400\ \text{N}[/tex]

Since the charges have opposite charges they will attract each other.

Now the charges are brought into contact with each other so the resultant charge will be

[tex]q=\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow q=\dfrac{-20+50}{2}\\\Rightarrow q=15\ \mu\text{C}[/tex]

[tex]F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (15\times 10^{-6})^2}{(2.5\times 10^{-2})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=3240\ \text{N}[/tex]

The magntude of the force the spheres experience will be [tex]3240\ \text{N}[/tex]

The spheres have the same charge now so they will repel each other.

a vertical solid steel post 29cm in diameter and 2.0m long is required to support a load of 8200kg, ignore the weight of the post. determine the stress in the post​

Answers

Answer:

The stress is  [tex]\sigma = 1.218*10^{6} \ N/m^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter of the post is  [tex]d = 29 \ cm = 0.29 \ m[/tex]

   The length is [tex]L = 2.0 \ m[/tex]

    The weight of the loading mass

Generally  the  radius of the post is mathematically represented as

     [tex]r = \frac{0.29}{2}[/tex]

=>   [tex]r = 0.145 \ m[/tex]

Generally the area of the post is  

       [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

=>     [tex]A = 3.14 * 0.145 ^2[/tex]

=>     [tex]A = 0.066 \ m^2[/tex]

Generally the weight exerted by the load is mathematically represented as

        [tex]F = m * g[/tex]

=>      [tex]F = 8200 * 9.8[/tex]

=>      [tex]F = 80360 \ N[/tex]

Generally the stress is mathematically represented as

         [tex]\sigma = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma = \frac{80360 }{0.066}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma = 1.218*10^{6} \ N/m^2[/tex]
