You go to an amusement park with your friend Betty, who wants to ride the 80-m-diameter Ferris wheel. She starts the ride at the

lowest point of a wheel that, as you face it, rotates counterclockwise.
Part A

What is the magnitude of her displacement vector when the wheel has rotated by an angle of 40 ∘?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part B

What is the direction of her displacement vector when the wheel has rotated by an angle of 40 ∘, measured counterclockwise from the horizontal?

Answer:

A. 27.4 m

B. 0.35 rad or 20 degrees

Explanation:

A Ferris wheel with 80m in diameter would have a radius of 40m

Let the center of the wheel be the origin, so the vector (let call it a) from the the center of the wheel to Betty's starting (lowest) point is

$\vec{a} =$

When the wheel rotated by 40 degrees, Betty would have traveled a distance of:

horizontally $rsin\theta = 40sin40^0 = 25.71 m$

vertically $r - rcos\theta = 40 - 40cos40^0 = 9.36 m$

So her displacement vector is <25.71, 9.36>

A. Magnitude of this vector is

$\sqrt{25.71^2 + 9.36^2} = 27.4 m$

B. Direction of this vector is

$tan\alpha = 9.36 / 25.71 = 0.364$

$\alpha = tan^{-1}0.364 = 0.35 rad$ or 20 degrees

An electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) can produce a shock of up to 600 V and a current of 1 A for a duration of 2 ms, which

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

$2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

6000

1.2 J

$3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

Explanation:

I = Current = 1 A

t = Time = 2 ms

n = Number of electrocyte

V = Voltage = 100 mV

Charge is given by

$Q=It\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

The charge flowing through the electrocytes in that amount of time is $2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

The maximum potential is given by

$V_m=nV\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{V_m}{V}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{600}{100\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow n=6000$

The number of electrolytes is 6000

Energy is given by

$E=Pt\\\Rightarrow E=V_mIt\\\Rightarrow E=600\times 1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.2\ J$

The energy released when the electric eel delivers a shock is 1.2 J

Equivalent capacitance is given by

$C_e=\dfrac{Q}{V_m}\\\Rightarrow C_e=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-3}}{600}\\\Rightarrow C_e=3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

The equivalent capacitance of all the electrocyte cells in the electric eel is $3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

The magnetic field around the head has been measured to be approximately 3.00×10−8 gauss . Although the currents that cause this

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A$

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field = $3\times 10^{-8}\ G$

d = Diameter of loop = 16 cm

r = Radius = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{16}{2}=8\ cm$

i = Current

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability = $4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m$

The magnetic field of a loop is given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0i}{2r}\\\Rightarrow i=\frac{B2r}{\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow i=\frac{3\times 10^{-8}\times 10^{-4}\times 2\times 0.08}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}}\\\Rightarrow i=3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A$

The current needed to produce such a field at the center of the loop is $3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A$

Two swift canaries fly toward each other, each moving at 15.0 m/s relative to the ground, each warbling a note of frequency 1750

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Part a)

f = 1911.5 Hz

Part b)

$\lambda = 0.186 m$

Explanation:

Here the source and observer both are moving towards each other

so we know that the apparent frequency is given as

$f' = f_0 (\frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s})$

here we know that

$f_0 = 1750 Hz$

$v_o = 15 m/s$

$v_s = 15 m/s$

now we will have

$f' = (1750)(\frac{340 + 15}{340 - 15})$

$f' = 1911.5 Hz$

Part b)

Apparent wavelength is given by the formula

$\lambda = \frac{v_{relative}}{f_{app}}$

here we will have

$\lambda = \frac{340 + 15}{1911.5}$

$\lambda = 0.186 m$

A 10-meter long ramp has a mechanical advantage of 5. What is the height of the ramp?

denpristay [2]

<span><span>1. </span>If the ramp has a length of 10 and has a mechanical advantage (MA) of 5. Then we need to find the height of the ramp.
Formula:
MA = L / H
Since we already have the mechanical advantage and length, this time we need to find the height .
MA 5 = 10 / h
h = 10 / 5
h = 2 meters

Therefore, the ramp has a length of 10 meters, a height of 2 meters with a mechanical advantage of 5.</span>
