Answer:
tug_tug = 570 10³ l
Explanation:
In this problem, each propeller creates a force that makes the boat rotate, so the tugs have to create a die of equal magnitude rep from the opposite direction
∑ τ = 0
F1 la+ (-F1) (-l) = τ-tug
τ-tug = 2 f1 l
τ-tug = 2 28510³ l
tug_tug = 570 10³ l
where the is the distance from the propane axis to the point where the ship turns
This force may be less depending on where the tug is.

8. At temperature 15°C, aluminum rivets have a diameter of 0.501 cm, and holes drilled in a titanium sheet have a diameter of 0.500 cm. If both the aluminum rivets and the titanium sheet are cooled together, at what temperature will the rivets just fit into the appropriate holes in the titanium sheet? Use 25x10-6 (°C)-1 for the coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum, and 8.5x10-6 (°C)-1 for titanium
Answer:
The temperature is [tex]T = -106 ^oC[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The temperature is [tex]T_1 = T_t= T_a=15^oC[/tex]
The diameter is [tex]d_1 = 0.5001 cm[/tex]
The diameter of the hole [tex]d_2 = 0.500 \ cm[/tex]
The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is [tex]\alpha _1 = 25 *10^{-6} \ ^oC^{-1}[/tex]
The coefficient of linear expansion for titanium is [tex]\alpha _2 = 8.5 *10^{-6} \ ^o C^{-1}[/tex]
According to the law of linear expansion
[tex]d = d_o (1 + \alpha \Delta T )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_o[/tex] represents the original diameter
So for aluminum
[tex]d_a = d_1 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_a) )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_a[/tex] is the new diameter of aluminum
[tex]T_a[/tex] is the new temperature of the aluminum
So for titanium
[tex]d_t = d_2 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_t) )[/tex]
Where [tex]d_t[/tex] is the new diameter of titanium
[tex]T_t[/tex] is the new temperature of the aluminum
So for the aluminum rivets to fit into the holes
[tex]d_a = d_t[/tex]
=> [tex]d_1 (1 + \alpha_1 (T- T_a) ) = d_2 (1 + \alpha_2 (T- T_t) )[/tex]
Making T the subject of the formula
[tex]T = \frac{(d_1 - d_2 ) + (d_2 *\alpha_2 T_t) - d_1 \alpha_1 * T_a }{d_2 \alpha_2 - d_1 \alpha_1 }[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]T = \frac{(0.501 - 0.500 ) + (0.500 *(8.5*10^{-6}) * 15) - 0.500* (25*10^{-6}) * 15 }{0.500 * (8.5 *10^{-6}) - 0.501 * (25 *10^{-6}) }[/tex]
[tex]T = -106 ^oC[/tex]
A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. Long after contact is made with the battery (a) the voltage across the capacitor is A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage. B) less than the battery's terminal voltage, but greater than zero. C) zero. (b) the voltage across the resistor is A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage. B) less than the battery's terminal voltage, but greater than zero. C) zero.
Answer:
A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage.
Explanation:
When the capacitor is fully charged after long hours of charging , its potential becomes equal to the emf of the battery and its polarity is opposite to that of battery . Hence net emf becomes equal . The capacitor itself becomes a battery which is connected in the circuit with opposite polarity . This results in the net emf and current becoming zero . There is no charging current when the capacitor is fully charged .
What must x be so that the handle end of the bat remains at rest as the bat begins to move? (Hint: Consider the motion of the center of mass and the rotation about the center of mass. Find x so that these two motions combine to give v=0 for the end of the bat just after the collision. Also, note that integration of equation ∑τ⃗ =dL⃗ dt gives ΔL=∫t1t2(∑τ)dt. )
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the bat is [tex]m_b = 0.800 \ kg[/tex]
The bat length is [tex]L_b = 0.900 \ m[/tex]
The distance of the bat's center of mass to the handle end is [tex]z_c = 0.600 \ m[/tex]
The moment of inertia of the bat is [tex]I = 0.0530 \ kg \cdot m^2[/tex]
The objective of the solution is to find x which is the distance from the handle of the bat to the point where the baseball hit the bat
Generally the velocity change at the end of the bat is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta v_e = \Delta v_c - \Delta w* z_c[/tex]
Where [tex]\Delta v_c[/tex] is the velocity change at the center of the bat which is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta v_c = \frac{Impulse}{m_b }[/tex]
We are told that the impulse is J so
[tex]\Delta v_c = \frac{J}{m_b }[/tex]
And [tex]\Delta w[/tex] is the change in angular velocity which is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta w = \frac{J (z -z_c)}{I}[/tex]
Now we have that
[tex]\Delta v_e = \frac{J}{m_b } - [\frac{J (x- z_c)}{I} ] * z_c[/tex]
Before a swing when the bat is at rest the velocity change a the end of the bat handle is zero and the impulse will be 1
So
[tex]0 = \frac{1}{m_b } - [\frac{J (x- z_c)}{I} ] * z_c[/tex]
=> [tex]x = \frac{I}{m_b z_c} + m_b[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]x = \frac{0.530}{0.800 * 0.600} + 0.600[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.710 \ m[/tex]

A long solid conducting cylinder with radius a = 12 cm carries current I1 = 5 A going into the page. This current is distributed uniformly over the cross section of the cylinder. A cylindrical shell with radius b = 21 cm is concentric with the solid cylinder and carries a current I2 = 3 A coming out of the page. 1)Calculate the y component of the magnetic field By at point P, which lies on the x axis a distance r = 41 cm from the center of the cylinders.
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall use Ampere's circuital law to find magnetic field at required point.
The point is outside the circumference of two given wires so whole current will be accounted for .
Ampere's circuital law
B = ∫ Bdl = μ₀ I
line integral will be over circular path of radius r = 41 cm .
Total current I = 5A -3A = 2A .
∫ Bdl = μ₀ I
2π r B = μ₀ I

A rectangular painting measures 1.0 m tall along the y' axis and 3.0 m wide along the
x' axis. The painting is hung on the side wall of a spaceship which is moving passed
the Earth at a speed of 0.9c. Assume that the spaceship is moving along the (x, x')
direction.
a) What are the dimensions of the picture according to the captain of the
spaceship?
b) What are the dimensions of the picture as seen by an observer on the Earth?
Answer:
a) 1 m tall, 3 m wide
b) 1 m tall, 1.31 m wide
Explanation:
According to the captain of the spaceship, the dimensions of the picture is the same i.e 1.0 m tall along the y' axis and 3.0 m wide along the x' axis.
b) The dimensions of the picture as seen by an observer on the Earth along the y axis will remain the same, 1.0 m tall, for the direction of the y axis is perpendicular to the spaceship movement.
The dimensions of the picture as seen by an observer on the Earth along the x axis will reduce if we are to go by the Lorentz contraction:
L(x) = L(x)' * √[1 - (v²/c²)]
where
L(x)' = the dimensions of the picture along the x axis on the spaceship,
v² = the speed of the spaceship and c² = the speed of light in the vacuum.
On substituting, we have
L(x) = 3 * √[1 - (0.81c²/c²)]
L(x) = 1.31 m
Block A, with a mass of 4 kg, is moving with a speed of 2 m/s while Block B, with a mass of 8.4 kg, is moving in the opposite direction with a speed of 6.1 m/s. The center of mass of the two block system is moving with a velocity of ____ m/s. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Assume Block A is moving in the positive direction.
Answer:
The center of mass move with the velocity of -3.487 m/s.
Explanation:
Given values of block A.
Mass of block A, (M1) = 4 kg
Speed of block A, (V1) = 2 m/s
Given values of block B.
Mass of block B, (M2) = 8.4 kg
Speed of block B, (V2) = -6.1 m/s
Below is the formula to find the velocity of center of mass.
[tex]Velocity = \frac{M1V1 + M2V2}{M1 + M2} \\[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{4 \times 2 + 8.4 \times (-6.1) }{4 + 8.4} \\[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{- 43.24}{12.4}\\[/tex]
[tex]= - 3.487 m/s[/tex]

Answer:
a) [tex]\omega = 13.2t^2\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80t\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]
b) [tex]\alpha=26.4t\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
You have that the angular displacement is given by:
[tex]\theta=4.40t^3\frac{rad}{s^3}+1.40t^2\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]
a) the angular velocity is given by the derivative in time, of the angular displacement, that is:
[tex]\omega=\frac{d\theta}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[4.40 t^3 rad/s^3 + 1.40 t^2 rad/s^2]\\\\\omega=\frac{d\theta}{dt}=13.2t^2\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80t\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]
b) the angular acceleration is the derivative, in time, of the angular velocity:
[tex]\alpha=\frac{d\omega}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[13.2t^2\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80t\frac{rad}{s^2}]\\\\\alpha=26.4t\frac{rad}{s^3}+2.80\frac{rad}{s^2}[/tex]

6. The two ends of an iron rod are maintained at different temperatures. The amount of heat thatflows through the rod by conduction during a given time interval does notdepend uponA) the length of the iron rod.B) the thermal conductivity of iron.C) the temperature difference between the ends of the rod.D) the mass of the iron rod.E) the duration of the time interval.Ans: DDifficulty: MediumSectionDef: Section 13-27. The ends of a cylindrical steel rod are maintained at two different temperatures. The rod conducts heat from one end to the other at a rate of 10 cal/s. At what rate would a steel rod twiceas long and twice the diameter conduct heat between the same two temperatures
Answer:
20cal/s
Explanation:
Question:
There are two questions. The first one has been answered:
From the formular, Power = Q/t = (kA∆T)/l
the amount heat depends on the duration of time interval, length of the iron rod, the thermal conductivity of iron and the temperature difference between the ends of the rod.
The amount of heat that flows through the rod by conduction during a given time interval does not depend upon the mass of the iron rod (D).
Second question:
The ends of a cylindrical steel rod are maintained at two different temperatures. The rod conducts heat from one end to the other at a rate of 10 cal/s. At what rate would a steel rod twice as long and twice the diameter conduct heat between the same two temperatures?
Solution:
Power = 10cal/s
Power = energy per unit time = Q/t
Where Q = energy
Power = (kA∆T)/l
k = thermal conductivity of iron
A = area
Area = πr^2
r = radius
Diameter = d = 2r
r = d/2
Area = (πd^2)/4
Length = l
∆T = change in temperature
10 = (kA∆T)/l
For a steel rod with length doubled and diameter doubled:
Let Length (L) = 2l
Diameter (D)= 2d
Area = π [(2d)^2]/4 = (π4d^2)/4
Area = 4(πd^2)/4
Using the formula Power = (kA∆T)/l, insert the new values for A and l
Power = [k × 4(πd^2)/4 × ∆T]/2l
Power = [4k((πd^2)/4) ∆T]/2l
Power = [(4/2)×k((πd^2)/4) ∆T]/l
Power = [2k(A) ×∆T]/l = 2(kA∆T)/l
Power of a steel that has its length doubled and diameter doubled = 2(kA∆T)/l
Recall initial Power = (kA∆T)/l = 10cal/s
And ∆T is the same
2[(kA∆T)/l] = 2 × 10
Power of a steel that has its length doubled and diameter doubled = 20cal/s
A steam engine takes in superheated steam at 270 °C and discharges condensed steam from its cylinder at 50 °C. The engine has an efficiency of 30%, and taken in 50 kJ from the hot steam per cycle. If a Carnot engine takes in the same amount of heat per cycle and operates at these temperatures, the work it can turn into is most likely to be:a) 15 kJ. b) 20 kJ. c) 10 kJ. d) 50 kJ.
Answer:
b) 20 kJ
Explanation:
Efficiency of carnot engine = (T₁ - T₂ ) / T₁ Where T₁ is temperature of hot source and T₂ is temperature of sink .
T₁ = 270 + 273 = 543K
T₂ = 50 + 273 = 323 K
Putting the given values of temperatures
efficiency = (543 - 323) / 543
= .405
heat input = 50 KJ
efficiency = output work / input heat energy
.405 = output work / 50
output work = 20.25 KJ.
= 20 KJ .
water is pumped from a stream at the rate of 90kg every 30s and sprayed into a farm at a velocity of 15m/s. Calculate the power of the pump.
Answer:
340 W
Explanation:
Power = change in energy / change in time
P = ΔKE / Δt
P = ½ mv² / Δt
P = ½ (90 kg) (15 m/s)² / (30 s)
P = 337.5 W
Rounded to 2 significant figures, the power is 340 W.

10) Two students want to use a 12-meter long rope to create standing waves. They first measure the speed at which a single wave pulse moves from one end of the rope to another and find that it is 36 m/s. What frequency must they vibrate the rope at to create the second harmonic
Answer:
To create a second harmonic the rope must vibrate at the frequency of 3 Hz
Explanation:
First we find the fundamental frequency of the rope. The fundamental frequency is the frequency of the rope when it vibrates in only 1 loop. Therefore,
f₁ = v/2L
where,
v = speed of wave = 36 m/s
L = Length of rope = 12 m
f₁ = fundamental frequency
Therefore,
f₁ = (36 m/s)/2(12 m)
f₁ = 1.5 Hz
Now the frequency of nth harmonic is given in general, as:
fn = nf₁
where,
fn = frequency of nth harmonic
n = No. of Harmonic = 2
f₁ = fundamental frequency = 1.5 Hz
Therefore,
f₂ = (2)(1.5 Hz)
f₂ = 3 Hz
A. A PH202 student lives next to a construction site and sees a crane with a wrecking ball demolish the building next door. The wrecking ball swings along the wall between her house and the neighbor’s house. In an effort to determine the length of the cable on the wrecking ball the student builds a pendulum using a random rock and a string. Her pendulum turns out to be 0.500m long. While she plays with her pendulum she realizes that the wrecking ball swings back and forth in the same amount of time that it takes the rock to complete 5 full oscillations. What is the length of the cable on the wrecking ball?
Answer:
The length of cable is 12.5 m
Explanation:
Since, the wrecking ball completes 1 oscillation, in the same time, as it takes for the rock to complete 5 oscillations.
Therefore,
Time Period of Wrecking Ball = 5 (Time Period of Rock)
Since,
Time Period of Pendulum = 2π√(L/g)
Therefore,
2π√(L₁/g) = 5[2π√(L₂/g)]
√L₁ = 5√L₂
Squaring on both sides:
L₁ = 25 L₂
where,
L₁ = Length of Cable = ?
L₂ = Length of string = 0.5 m
Therefore,
L₁ = 25 (0.5 m)
L₁ = 12.5 m
Part F A system experiences a change in internal energy of 14 kJkJ in a process that involves a transfer of 36 kJkJ of heat into the system. Simultaneously, which of the following is true? A system experiences a change in internal energy of 14 in a process that involves a transfer of 36 of heat into the system. Simultaneously, which of the following is true? 22 kJkJ of work is done by the system. 22 kJkJ of work is done on the system. 50 kJkJ of work is done by the system. 50 kJkJ of work is done on the system
Answer:
Explanation:
According to first law of thermodynamics :
Q = ΔE + W
Q is heat added , ΔE is increase in the internal energy of the system and W is work done by the system .
Here Q = 36 KJ
ΔE = 14 kJ
Putting the values in the equation
36 = 14 + W
W = 36 - 14
= 22 kJ .
Work done by gas or system = 22 kJ.

3.0 s. What is the angular acceleration?
or
Answer:
The angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].
Explanation:
Initial angular speed of a CD player is 0 and final angular speed is 41.8 rad/s. Time to change the angular speed is 3 s.
It is required to find the angular acceleration. The change in angular speed of the CD player divided by time taken is called its angular acceleration. It can be given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{41.8-0}{3}\\\\a=13.94\ rad/s^2[/tex]
So, the angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].

A pendulum is swinging back and forth with no non-conservative forces acting on it. At the highest points of its trajectory, the kinetic energy of the pendulum bob is instantaneously equal to zero joules. At the lowest point of its trajectory, the potential energy is instantaneously equal to zero joules. Which one of the following expressions describes the kinetic and potential energies at the point mid-way between to the highest and lowest points?
A. K = 0, U = Umax
B. K = U
C. K < U
D. K > U
E. U = 0, K = Kmax
Answer:
K = U ( b )
Explanation:
The expression that describes the kinetic and potential energies at the point mid-way between to the highest and lowest points is K = U
this is because at the midpoint between the highest point and the lowest point the height is expressed as( h/2) therefore potential energy at that point is expressed as m*g*h/2 therefore the remaining energy at this point will be considered the kinetic energy which will be = m*g*h/2 as well hence at midpoint Kinetic energy = potential energy
Which term BEST describes the movement of air from the ocean toward the land in the daytime? (AKS 4b DOK 1) *
1 point
Sea breeze
Land Breeze
Valley Breeze
Current Breeze
Answer:
Option A, Sea Breeze
Explanation:
Ssea breeze is a wind that blows from the ocean or any water body to the nearby land mass. This breeze is cold as compared to the air on land. The water in water bodies has high specific heat capacity and hence takes longer time to cool as compared to the surrounding objects. The warmer air over the land rises upward thereby reducing the pressure on land and hence the sea breeze starts flowing from region of high pressure (i.e above the water body) towards the low pressure region that is the land.
Hence, option A is correct
A brick is dropped from a high scaffold.
a. How far does the brick fall during this time?
Answer:
a: after 1 seconds it will have fallen 0.2452
after 2 seconds it will have fallen 0.981
after 3 seconds it will have fallen 2.2072
after 4 seconds it will have fallen 3.924
Explanation:
the formula for acceleration due to gravity is (ignoring friction I think)
g = G*M/R^2
earths gravitational constant is about 9.807
g = 9.807*M/R^2
The average weight of a brick is 5 pounds and I'm going to say it's 10 feet off the ground.
g = 9.807*5/10^2. g = 0.4905 so every second the brick will go 0.4905 fps faster. (fps means feet per second.)
after 1 seconds it will have fallen 0.2452
after 2 seconds it will have fallen 0.981
after 3 seconds it will have fallen 2.2072
after 4 seconds it will have fallen 3.924
why can you see the path of light in a sunbeam?
Answer:
Sunbeams are seen because of light separated from water droplets and dust and smoke particles suspended in the air. If the cloud cover only has a few small holes in it, then separate rays of light will sprinkle light in every direction so you can see sunbeams.
A Texas cockroach of mass 0.157 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical axle) that has a radius 14.9 cm, rotational inertia 5.92 x 10-3 kg·m2, and frictionless bearings. The cockroach's speed (relative to the ground) is 2.92 m/s, and the lazy Susan turns clockwise with angular velocity ω0 = 3.89 rad/s. The cockroach finds a bread crumb on the rim and, of course, stops. (a) What is the angular speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops? (b) Is mechanical energy conserved as it stops?
Answer:
-7.23 rad/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg
Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m
Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²
Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s
Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s
The initial angular momentum of rim is
Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89
Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s
The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is
L = -mvr
L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149
L = -0.068 kgm²/s
This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together
2.3*10^-2 + -0.068
L' = -0.045 kgm²/s
After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is
I(f) = I + mr²
I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²
I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3
I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²
Final angular momentum of the disk is
L'' = I(f).w(f)
L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)
Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have
-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0
w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3
w(f) = -7.23 rad/s
Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed
b)
The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops
