Answer:
5.88 Nm
Explanation:
Applying,
Moment(M) = Force(F)×perpendicular distance(d)
M = F×d.................... Equation 1
But,
F = mg.................. Equation 2
Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
M = mgd................. Equation 3
From the question,
Given: m = 3 kg, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 3
M = 3×0.2×9.8
M = 5.88 Nm
A rock is thrown by applying a force of 2.50N while doing 6.00J of work. Over what distance was the force applied?
O 0.417m
8.50m
2.40m
15.0m
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.40 \ meters}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Work is the product of force and distance, so the formula is:
[tex]W= F \times d[/tex]
The work is 6.00 Joules, but
1 Joule (J) is equal to 1 Newton meter (N*m). Therefore, the work of 6.00 J is equal to 6.00 N*mThe force is 2.50 Newtons.
The known values are:
W= 6.00 N*m F= 2.50 NSubstitute the values into the formula.
[tex]6.00 \ N*m= 2.50 \ N *d[/tex]
We are solving for distance, so we must isolate the variable, d. It is being multiplied by 2.50 Newtons and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2.50 N.
[tex]\frac {6.00 \ N*m}{2.50 \ N}=\frac{2.50 \ N * d}{2.50 \ N}[/tex]
[tex]\frac {6.00 \ N*m}{2.50 \ N}=d[/tex]
The units of Newtons cancel out.
[tex]\frac {6.00 m}{2.50 }=d[/tex]
[tex]2.40 \ m =d[/tex]
The force was applied to the rock over a distance of 2.40 meters and choice C is correct.

For a damped oscillator with a mass of 360 g, a spring constant 130 N/m and a damping coefficient of 86 g/s, what is the ratio of the amplitude of the damped oscillations to the initial amplitude at the end of 11 cycles
Answer:
A/A₀ = 0.5106
Explanation:
To do this, we need to use several formulas and expressions. First, we need to know the period of time of the oscillator. This can be calculated using the following expression:
ω = 2π/T (1)
But angular frequency (ω) can be also be calculated using:
ω = √(k/m) (2)
Using (1) and (2), we can solve for the period T:
2π/T = √(k/m) (mass in kg)
2π/T = √(130/0.360)
2π/T = √361.11
2π/T = 19.003
T = 2π/19.003 = 0.331 s
Now, the amplitude A at a time t, is:
A = x exp(-bt/2m) (3)
At time 0, A = x. so A₀ = x
The problem states that we have 11 cycles respect to the initial amplitude, so expression (3) can be rewritten as:
A = x exp(-b(17t/2m)) using b as kg/s = 0.086 kg/s
Replacing the data we have:
A = x exp(-0.086(17*0.331)/2*0.36)
A = x exp(-0.086 * 7.815)
A = x exp(-0.6721)
A = 0.5106x (4)
Now, doing the ratio with the innitial we have:
A / A₀ = 0.5106x / x
The ratio is:
A/A₀ = 0.5106Hope this helps

What is magnification ?
Magnification is a quantification of comparing the size of the image with respect to the size of the object. It gives us information about the image in terms of how large or small is the image formed.
magnification = height of image / height of object
since , height of object is always positive as it is always kept upright hence , in order to make m positive , height of image need to be positive
also magnification = -(v/u )
v = image distance
u = object distance
u is always positive hence , in order to make m positive , v needs to be negative , which implies on the same side of the mirror as the object
correct option
b) The image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.

18. Un avión de rescate de animales que vuela hacia el este a 36.0 m/s deja caer una paca de
heno desde una altitud de 60.0 m. Si la paca de heno pesa 175 N, ¿cuál es el momentum
de la paca antes de que golpee el suelo?
Answer:
Definimos momento como el producto entre la masa y la velocidad
P = m*v
(tener en cuenta que la velocidad es un vector, por lo que el momento también será un vector)
Sabemos que el peso de la paca de heno es 175N, y el peso es masa por aceleración gravitatoria, entonces.
Peso = m*9.8m/s^2 = 175N
m = (175N)/(9.8m/s^2) = 17.9 kg
Ahora debemos calcular la velocidad de la paca justo antes de tocar el suelo.
Sabemos que la velocidad horizontal será la misma que tenía el avión, que es:
Vx = 36m/s
Mientras que para la velocidad vertical, usamos la conservación de la energía:
E = U + K
Apenas se suelta la caja, esta tiene velocidad cero, entonces su energía cinética será cero y la caja solo tendrá energía potencial (Si bien la caja tiene velocidad horizontal en este punto, por la superposición lineal podemos separar el problema en un caso horizontal y en un caso vertical, y en el caso vertical no hay velocidad inicial)
Entonces al principio solo hay energía potencial:
U = m*g*h
donde:
m = masa
g = aceleración gravitatoria
h = altura
Sabemos que la altura inicial es 60m, entonces la energía potencial es:
U = 175N*60m = 10,500 N
Cuando la paca esta próxima a golpear el suelo, la altura h tiende a cero, por lo que la energía potencial se hace cero, y en este punto solo tendremos energía cinética, entonces:
10,500N = (m/2)*v^2
De acá podemos despejar la velocidad vertical justo antes de golpear el suelo.
√(10,500N*(2/ 17.9 kg)) = 34.25 m/s
La velocidad vertical es 34.25 m/s
Entonces el vector velocidad se podrá escribir como:
V = (36 m/s, -34.25 m/s)
Donde el signo menos en la velocidad vertical es porque la velocidad vertical es hacia abajo.
Reemplazando esto en la ecuación del momento obtenemos:
P = 17.9kg*(36 m/s, -34.25 m/s)
P = (644.4 N, -613.075 N)

Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy = mgh. m = mass in kg, g = acceleration due to gravity and h = height in meters.
Kinetic energy = 1/2(m)(v)^2, m = mass in kg, v = velocity in meters per second
1) P.E = 2 x 9.8 x 20 = 392 joules
2) K.E = 1/2 x 2000 x (25)^2 = 625,000 joules

Explanation:
Consider the system consisting of the box and the spring, but not Earth. How does the energy of the system when the spring is fully compressed compare to the energy of the system at the moment immediately before the box hits the ground? Justify your answer.
Answer:
the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.
Explanation:
For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.
Starting point. Compressed spring
Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²
Final point. When the box hits the ground
Em_f = K = ½ m v²
since friction is zero, energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²
v = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }[/tex] x
Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.
Based on the law of conservation of energy, the elastic potential energy of the system when the spring is fully compressed is equal to the kinetic energy of the system at the moment immediately before the box hits the ground.
What is the energy in a compressed spring?The energy in a compressed spring is elastic potential energy given by the formula:
Ek = 1/2 Kx^2where
K is spring constant x is displacement of the springWhat is the kinetic energy of a body?The kinetic energy of a body is the energy the body the has due to it's motion.
Kinetic energy, KE, is givenby the formula below:
KE = 1/2mv^2How does the energy of the system when the spring is fully compressed compare to the energy of the system at the moment immediately before the box hits the ground?From the law of conservation of energy, the total energy in a closed system is conserved.
Based on this law, all the energy in the compressed spring is converted to the kinetic energy of the box just before it reaches the ground.
Therefore, the elastic potential energy of the system when the spring is fully compressed is equal to the kinetic energy of the system at the moment immediately before the box hits the ground.

O B. The intensity decreases by a factor of 9.
O c. The intensity increases by a factor of 9.
O D. The intensity increases by a factor of 3.
Answer: C- The intensity increases by a factor 9
Explanation: The intensity of a sound wave follows an inverse square law, that means that it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so the new distance is the intensity will increase by a factor 9.
My sentence- I hope that helped!
Intensity of a sound wave decreases by a factor of 9, if the distance from the source is increased by a factor of 3. Hence option B is correct.
Intensity of Sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the sound source. Since sound waves carry its energy though a two-dimensional or three-dimensional medium, the intensity of the sound wave decreases with increasing as second power of distance form the source.
Mathematically,
Intensity I ∝ 1/D²

m₃ = (0.6 x 10³ kg/m³)(1 x 10⁻³ m³) = 0.6 kg
The total mass will be:
m = m₁ + m₂+ m₃ = 5.6 kg + 1.5 kg + 0.6 kg
m = 7.7 kg
Hence, the weight of the liquids will be:
W = mg = (7.7 kg)(9.81 m/s²) = 75.54 N
Now, we calculate the base area:
A = πr² = π(0.05 m)²
A = 7.85 x 10⁻³ m²
Now the pressure will be given as:
[tex]P = \frac{F}{A}\\\\P = \frac{75.54\ N}{7.85\ x\ 10^{-3}\ m^2}[/tex]
P = 9622.9 Pa = 9.62 KPa
Young's double slit experiment is one of the quintessential experiments in physics. The availability of low cost lasers in recent years allows us to perform the double slit experiment rather easily in class. Your professor shines a green laser (568 nm) on a double slit with a separation of 0.112 mm. The diffraction pattern shines on the classroom wall 3.5 m away. Calculate the fringe separation between the second order and central fringe.
Answer:
Y = 17.75 x 10⁻³ m = 17.75 mm
Explanation:
Using Young's Double Slit formula below:
[tex]Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}[/tex]
where,
Y = fringe separation = ?
λ = wavelength = 568 nm = 5.68 x 10⁻⁷ m
L = distance between slits and screen = 3.5 m
d = slit separation = 0.112 mm = 1.12 x 10⁻⁴ m
Therefore,
[tex]Y = \frac{(5.68\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(3.5\ m)}{1.12\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}[/tex]
Y = 17.75 x 10⁻³ m = 17.75 mm
A microscope has an objective lens with diameter 1.04 cm. You wish to resolve an object 9.09 micrometers in size. You are using visible light of wavelength 562 nm. Using the Rayleigh criterion, what is the distance that the objective lens must be from the object to resolve it
Answer:
L = 0.1379 m = 13.79 cm
Explanation:
The Rayleigh criterion establishes that two objects are separated when the maximum of diffraction for slits coincides with the minimum of the other point, therefore the expression for the diffraction
a sin θ = m λ
the first zero occurs when m = 1
let's use trigonometry to find the angle
tan θ = y / L
as in these experiments the angles are very small
tan θ = sin θ /cos θ = sin θ
sin θ = y / L
we substitute
a y /L = λ
In the case of circular aperture the system must be solved in polar coordinates, for which a numerical constant is introduced
a y / L = 1.22 λ
L = a y / 1.22 λ
We search the magnitudes to the SI system
a = 1.04 cm = 1.04 10⁻² m
y = 9.09 10⁻⁶ m
λ = 562 10⁻⁹ m
let's calculate
L = [tex]\frac{1.04 \ 10^{-2} \ 9.09 \ 10^{-6} }{1.22 \ 562 \ 10^{-9} }[/tex]
L = 1.379 10⁻¹ m
L = 0.1379 m = 13.79 cm
