Analyzing the question:
We are given:
initial velocity (u) = 100 m/s
final velocity (v) = v m/s
distance (s) = 125 m
acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²
Solving for Final Velocity (v):
from the third equation of motion:
v² - u² = 2as
v² - (100)² = 2(5)(125)
v² - 10000 = 1250
v² = 1250 + 10000
v² = 11250
v = 106.06 m/s
It takes a minimum distance of 48.96 m to stop a car moving at 12.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Assume that the same frictional forces apply and find the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 25.0 m/s.
Answer:
102 m
Explanation:
Given that It takes a minimum distance of 48.96 m to stop a car moving at 12.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Assume that the same frictional forces apply and find the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 25.0 m/s.
Let the stopping distance be equal to S.
According to the definition of speed,
Speed = distance / time.
make time the subject of the formula
Time = distance / speed
then, the equivalent time is:
48.96 / 12 = S / 25
Cross multiply
12S = 48.96 x 25
12S = 1224
S = 1224 / 12
S = 102 m
Therefore, the stopping distance is 102 m
An FM radio station, 20 miles away, broadcast at a 93.4 MHz frequency(a) What is the wavelength of the radio wave associated with this signal ?(b) How long does it take for the signal to reach your radio from the station ?
Answer:
(a) Wavelength = 3.21 m (b) Time = [tex]1.07\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The frequency of FM radio station, f = 93.4 MHz
(a) We need to find the wavelength of the radio wave associated with this signal. The relation between wavelength and frequency is given by :
[tex]c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{93.4\times 10^6}\\\\\lambda=3.21\ m[/tex]
(b) It is given that, an FM radio station, 20 miles away. Let t is time taken for signal to reach your radio from the station. So,
[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{20\times 1609.34}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
what is the force produced on a body of 30kg mass when a body moving with the velocity of 26km/hr is acceleted to gain the velocity of 54 km/hr in 4 sec
Answer:
F = 58.35 [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. But first we must use the following equation of kinematics.
We have to convert speeds from kilometers per hour to meters per second
[tex]\frac{26km}{hr}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1hr}{3600s}=\frac{7.22m}{s} \\\frac{54km}{hr}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1hr}{3600s}=15\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]v_{f}=v_{o}+(a*t) \\[/tex]
where:
Vf = final velocity = 15 [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 7.22 [m/s]
a = acceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 4 [s]
Note: the positive sign of the above equation is because the car increases its speed
15 = 7.22 + (a*4)
a = 1.945 [m/s^2]
Now we can use the Newton's second law:
F = m*a
F = 30*1.945
F = 58.35 [N]
What is the speed of a wave that has a frequency of 2,400 Hz and a wavelength of 0.75
Answer:
1800 m/s
Explanation:
The equation is v = fλ
λ= 0.75
f = 2400 Hz
V = 2400 × 0.75
V = 1800 m/s

A plane flying horizontally at a speed of 40.0 m/s and at an elevation of 160 m drops a package. Two seconds later it drops a second package. How far apart will the two packages land on the ground?
Answer:
Package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m, and the distance between them is 80.0 m.
Explanation:
To find the distance at which the first package will land we need to calculate the time:
[tex] Y_{f} = Y_{0} + V_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} [/tex]
Where:
Y(f) is the final position = 0
Y(0) is the initial position = 160 m
V(0y) is initial speed in "y" direction = 0
g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
t is the time=?
[tex] 0 = 160 m + 0t - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}t^{2} [/tex]
[tex] t = \sqrt{\frac{2*160 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 5.7 s [/tex]
Now we can find the distance of the first package:
[tex] X_{1} = V_{0x}*t = 40.0 m/s*5.7 s = 228.0 m [/tex]
Then, after 2 seconds the distance traveled by plane is (from the initial position):
[tex] X_{p} = V_{0x}*t = 40.0 m/s*2 s = 80.0 m [/tex]
Now, the distance of the second package is:
[tex] X _{2} = X_{1} + X_{p} = 228.0 m + 80.0 m = 308.0 m [/tex]
The distance between the packages is:
[tex] X = X_{2} - X_{1} = 308.0 - 228.0 m = 80.0 m [/tex]
Therefore, package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m and the distance between them is 80.0 m.

While making some observations at the top of the 66 m tall Astronomy tower, Ron
accidently knocks a 0.5 kg stone over the edge. How long will a student at the bottom
have to get out of the way before being hit?
Analysing the question:
Since the stone was dropped, there was no initial velocity applied on it and hence it's initial velocity of the stone is 0 m/s
We are given:
height of the tower (h) = 66 m
mass of the stone (m) = 0.5 kg
initial velocity of the stone (u) = 0 m/s
time taken by the stone to reach the ground (t) = t seconds
acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
** Neglecting air resistance**
Finding the time taken by the stone to reach the ground:
from the second equation of motion
h = ut + 1/2at²
replacing the variables
66 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (10)(t)²
66 = 5t²
t² = 13.2
t = 3.6 seconds
I initially wanted to subtract the height of the student from the height of the tower since the time i calculated is the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that means that the stone has already hit the student before 3.6 seconds
but since we were NOT given the height of a student, the person who posed this question wants the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that is what we solved
A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation. This process will double the: __________A. capacitance
B. surface charge density on each plate
C. stored energy
D. electricfield between the two places
E. charge on each plate"
Answer: C.
Explanation:
For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.
The capacitance is:
C = e*A/d
You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.
Now, the stored energy can be written as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2/C
Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)
e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.
Then we can define:
K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)
And now we can write the energy as:
E = K*d
Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.
If the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, then this will double the stored energy. Hence, option (C) is correct.
The given problem is based on the concept of parallel plat capacitor. For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.
The capacitance is:
C = e*A/d
here.
e is the permittivity of free space.
Since, the distance is inversely proportional then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves. Now, the stored energy can be given as,
E = (1/2)*Q^2/C
here,
Q is the charge stored in the capacitor.
Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)
e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.
Then we can define:
K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)
And now we can write the energy as:
E = K*d
So, the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates.
Thus, we can conclude that if the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, then this will double the stored energy. Hence, option (C) is correct.

If you weigh 660 N on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20.0 km? Take the mass of the sun to be 1.99×10^30, the gravitational constant to be G = 6.67×10^−11Nm^2/kg^2, and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface to be g = 9.810 m/s^2.p
Answer:
8.93*10^13 N.
Explanation:
Assuming that in this case, the weight is just the the force exerted on you by the mass of the star, due to gravity, we can apply the Universal Law of Gravitation:[tex]F_{g}= \frac{G*m_{1}*m_{s}}{r_{s}^{2} }[/tex]
where, m1 = mass of the man = 660 N / 9.81 m/s^2 = 67.3 kg, ms = mass of the star = 1.99*10^30 kg, G= Universal Constant of Gravitation, and rs= radius of the star = 10.0 km. = 10^4 m.Replacing by the values, we get:[tex]F_{g}= \frac{6.67e-11Nm^2/kg^2*1.99e30 kg*67.3 kg}{10e4m^2} = 8.93e13 N[/tex]
Fg = 8.93*10^13 N.Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. The Sun has a mass of 1.99×1030 kg and a radius of 6.96×108 m. What is the average density of the Sun?

A negative charge -Q is placed inside the cavity of a hollow metal solid. The outside of the solid is grounded by connecting a conducting wire between it and the earth. Is any excess charge induced on the inner surface of the metal? Is there any excess charge on the outside surface of the metal? Why or why not? Would someone outside the solid measure an electric field due to the charge -Q? Is it reasonable to say that the grounded conductor has shielded the region outside the conductor from the effects of the charge -Q? In principle, could the same thing be done for gravity? Why or why not?
Answer:
a) + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge
b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0
c) E=0
Explanation:
Let's analyze the situation when a negative charge is placed inside the cavity, it repels the other negative charges, leaving the necessary positive charges to compensate for the -Q charge. The electrons that migrated to the outer part of the sphere, as it is connected to the ground, can pass to the earth and remain on the planet; therefore on the outside of the sphere the net charge remains zero.
With this analysis we can answer the specific questions
a) + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge
b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0
c) If we create a Gaussian surface on the outside of the sphere the net charge on the inside of this sphere is zero, therefore there is no electric field, on the outside
d) If it is very reasonable and this system configuration is called a Faraday Cage
e) We cannot apply this principle to gravity since there are no particles that repel, in all cases the attractive forces.

Explanation:
Contour maps use lines that represent spaces in a map that have the same elevation, this means that all the lines should be continuous and closed, in this case, we are not able to see the full extent of most of the lines, but since the points are located in different lines we can assume that they are at different heights, so since only point K and point I are on the same line, we know that these two points are at the same height.

A toy rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 m), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 98 m and acquired a velocity of 30m/s. The rocket continues to rise in unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground. The upward acceleration of the rocket during the burn phase is closest to...
Given
initial velocity of rocket u = 0m/s
final velocity of rocket = 30m/s
Height reached by the rocket = 98m
Required
upward acceleration of the rocket
Using the equation of motion below to get the acceleration a:
[tex]v^2 = u^2+2as\\30^2 = 0^2 + 2(a)(98)\\900 = 196a\\a = \frac{900}{196}\\a = 4.59m/s^2[/tex]
Hence upward acceleration of the rocket during the burn phase is closest to 5m/s²
Note that the velocity used in calculation was assumed.
In the absence of a gravitational field, you could determine the mass of an object (of unknown composition) by:
A) applying a known force and measuring it's acceleration.
B) measuring the volume.
C) weighing it.
Answer:
A) By applying a known force, and measuring it's acceleration.
Explanation:
This is actually something that astronauts do in space as a mathmatical exercise when calculating the mass of an object since F = m × a.
Once the force, and acceleration are applied, the only unknown is the mass which can be solved by dividing force over acceleration. This is because inertial mass is equal to gravitational mass.

Answer:
The acceleration of a small piece of ice is 10.40 m/s².
Explanation:
The electric force is given by:
[tex]F = Eq[/tex]
Where:
E is the electric field = 1.07x10⁵ N/C

Where:
m is the mass = 1.08x10⁻⁴ g = 1.08x10⁻⁷ kg
a is the acceleration
Hence, the acceleration is:
[tex] a = \frac{Eq}{m} = \frac{1.07 \cdot 10^{5} N/C*1.05 \cdot 10^{-11} C}{1.08 \cdot 10^{-7} kg} = 10.40 m/s^{2} [/tex]
Therefore, the acceleration of a small piece of ice is 10.40 m/s².

In a nutshell, units of A and B are [tex]\frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex], respectively.
Explanation:
From Dimensional Analysis we understand that [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] have length units ([tex][l][/tex]) and [tex]t[/tex] have time units ([tex][t][/tex]). Then, we get that:
[tex][l] = A\cdot [l]^{3}[/tex] (Eq. 1)
[tex][l] = B\cdot [t][/tex] (Eq. 2)
Now we finally clear each constant:
[tex]A = \frac{[l]}{[l]^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]B = \frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex]
In a nutshell, units of A and B are [tex]\frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex], respectively.

operated aross 141.4 V, 50 Hz A.C. supply. The
capacitance of the capacitor which has to be
connected in series with bulb so that bulb will
glow with full intensity is [NCERT Pg. 251]
Answer:
The capacitance of the capacitor is 31.84 μF.
Explanation:
Given;
power rating of the bulb, P = 100 W
voltage rating of the bulb, Vr = 100 V
operating voltage of the bulb, V= 141.4 V
frequency of the AC = 50 Hz
P = IV = 100 W
V = 100 V
I =
Ic = 1 A
The voltage across the capacitor is given by;
[tex]V_c = \sqrt{V^2 - V_R^2} \\\\V_c = \sqrt{141.4^2 - 100^2} \\\\V_c =99.97 \ V[/tex]
[tex]V_c = I_cX_c\\\\V_c = I_C* \frac{1}{2\pi fC}\\\\ 99.97 = 1 * \frac{1}{2\pi *50 *C}\\\\ C=\frac{1}{2\pi *50*99.97}\\\\ C = 31.84*10^{-6} \ F\\\\C = 31.84 \ \mu F[/tex]
Therefore, the capacitance of the capacitor is 31.84 μF.

of a long wire that is perpendicular to the Earth's surface. When there is no current in the wire, the
compass needle points due north, which is the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's
magnetic field at that location. This component is parallel to the Earth's surface. When the current in
the wire is 26.3 A, the needle points 22.9∘ east of north.
(a) Does the current in the wire flow toward or away from the Earth's surface? ( 2 marks)
(b) What is the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the location of
the compass? (3 marks)
Answer:
Explanation:
The needle is showing north south direction . when current starts flowing in the wire which is held vertical to the ground , it deflects towards east .
a )
Therefore a magnetic field towards east has been created . It is possible only if current flows towards the surface in the vertical wire .
b )
magnetic field created at the magnetic needle B = 10⁻⁷ x 2I / d where I is current and d is distance .
B = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 26.3 / .27
= 194.81 x 10⁻⁷ T
angle of deflection of solenoid = 22.9°
Tan 22.9 = B /H
.422 = 194.81 x 10⁻⁷ / H
H = 461.63 x 10⁻⁷ T
= .46 x 10⁻⁴ T .
A) The current in the wire flows towards the Earth's surface
B) The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is : 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
A) The compass needle held horizontally points in a North-south direction of the earth and also deflects eastwards when current is allowed to flow through it. The deflection of the needle indicates the presence/generation of a magnetic field on the earth surface. which is facilitated by the flow of the current in the wire towards the Earth's surface
B) Determine The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field
B ( magnetic field ) = 10⁻⁷ * 2I / d ---- ( 1 )
where : l = 26.3 A, d = 0.27 m
Back to equation ( 1 )
B = 10⁻⁷ * 2 * 26.3 / 0.27
= 194.81 * 10⁻⁷ T
Final step : Calculate the magnitude of horizontal component ( H )
Tan ∅ = B / H ---- ( 2 )
where : ∅ ( angle of deflection ) = 22.9°
∴ H = B / Tan ( 22.9° )
= ( 194.81 * 10⁻⁷ ) / 0.422
= 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
Hence we can conclude that The current in the wire flows towards the Earth's surface and The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is : 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
