A winch is a mechanical device that is used to adjust the tension in a rope or line. A weekend sailor works the manual winch to

trim the sail during an outing on the water. The radius of the winch drum is 4.0 cm and the man turns the winch at the rate of 2.9 complete revolutions every 1 second.

Answer:

. A weekend sailor works the manual winch to trim the sail during an outing on the water. The radius of the winch drum is 4.0 cm and the man turns the winch at the rate of 2.9 complete revolutions every 1 second.

(a) What is the tangential speed of the line as he brings it in? m/s

Update 2:

(b) How would the value of the tangential speed change if the radius of the wheel were tripled?

The tangential speed would increase by a factor of 3.

The tangential speed would decrease by a factor of 3.

The tangential speed would increase by a factor of 9.

The tangential speed would decrease by a factor of 9.

The answer to the questions are as follows

a. The tangential speed = 0.729 m/s

b. The tangential speed would increase by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

a. The appropriate relations to help us find the tangential speed are

w = 2•pi•N and

w = v/r,

Where r = radius = 4.0 cm

v = velocity

N = rotational speed

From the question, N = 2.9 rotations/s or 2.9 Hz

Therefore w = 2•pi•2.9 = 18.22 r/s

Therefore,

v = w × r = (18.22 r/s) × (4.0 cm) = (18.22 r/s) × (0.040 m) = 0.729 m/s

The tangential speed = 0.729 m/s

b. Tripling the radius of the wheel we have, new radius = 4 × 3 = 12 cm

v = w × r = 18.22×0.12 = 2.1865 m/s

Finding the ratio of the two velocities, we have

(2.1865 m/s)/(0.729 m/s) = 3

Hence the tangential speed would increase by a factor of 3

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The amount of heat required is $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of water is $m_w = 20 \ ounce = 20 * 28.3495 = 5.7 *10^2 g$

The temperature of the water before drinking is $T_w = 3.8 ^oC$

The temperature of the body is $T_b = 36.6^oC$

Generally the amount of heat required to move the water from its former temperature to the body temperature is

$H= m_w * c_w * \Delta T$

Here $c_w$ is the specific heat of water with value $c_w = 4.18 J/g^oC$

So

$H= 5.7 *10^2 * 4.18 * (36.6 - 3.8)$

=> $H= 7.8 *10^{4} \ J$

Generally the no of mole of sweat present mass of water is

$n = \frac{m_w}{Z_s}$

Here $Z_w$ is the molar mass of sweat with value

$Z_w = 18.015 g/mol$

=> $n = \frac{5.7 *10^2}{18.015}$

=> $n = 31.6 \ moles$

Generally the heat required to vaporize the number of moles of the sweat is mathematically represented as

$H_v = n * L_v$

Here $L_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization with value $L_v = 7 *10^{3} J/mol$

=> $H_v = 31.6 * 7 *10^{3}$

=> $H_v = 1.29 *10^{6} \ J$

Generally the overall amount of heat energy required is

$H_t = H + H_v$

=> $H_t = 7.8 *10^{4} + 1.29 *10^{6}$

=> $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

Elodia [21]

Answer:

a) E=228391.8 N/C

b) E=-59345.91N/C

Explanation:

You can use Gauss law to find the net electric field produced by both line of charges.

$\int \vec{E_1}\cdot d\vec{r}=\frac{\lambda_1}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_1(2\pi r)=\frac{\lambda_1}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_1=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi \epsilon_o r_1}\\\\\int \vec{E_2}\cdot d\vec{r}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_2=\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi \epsilon_o r_2}$

Where E1 and E2 are the electric field generated at a distance of r1 and r2 respectively from the line of charges.

The net electric field at point r will be:

$E=E_1+E_2=\frac{1}{2\pi \epsilon_o}(\frac{\lambda_1}{r_1}+\frac{\lambda_2}{r_2})$

a) for y=0.200m, r1=0.200m and r2=0.200m:

$E=\frac{1}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)}[\frac{4.80*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}-\frac{2.26*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}}]=228391.8N/C$

b) for y=0.600m, r1=0.600m, r2=0.200m:

$E=\frac{1}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)}[\frac{4.80*10^{-6}C}{0.600m}-\frac{2.26*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}}]=-59345.91N/C$

What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from

Strike441 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer $f_{obs}$ is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,

$f_{obs} = f_s (\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})$

$f_s$ = Frequency of the source

$v_w$ = Speed of sound

$v_s$ = Speed of source

The velocity of the ambulance is

$v_s = 119km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$

$v_s = 30.55m/s$

Replacing at the expression to frequency of observer we have,

$f_{obs} = 800Hz(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-30.55m/s})$

$f_{obs} = 878Hz$

Therefore the frequency receive by observer is 878Hz
