Lidia plans an experimental investigation to see how the thickness of a lens affects the point where a beam of light is focused.

She plans to shine light through a lens and measure the distance to a screen that is placed where the beam focuses.What are the controls in Lidia’s investigation?

Answer:

The type of light and the material of lenz.

Explanation:

1) As the investigation is based on how the thickness of a lens effect the other variable. Thickness of the lenz is independent variable. So Lidia has to experiment with the different thicknesses in order to find the effect on dependent variable.

2) As the investigation is based to find the point where the beam of light is focused. It's a dependent variable and Lidia has no control over it. So the only thing she can do is to measure and observe how it respond to the changes in independent variable.

3) For conclusion, she has to make sure that the other variables are not effecting the output or results that is the beam point where the light is focused. So she must have to kept constant the type of light and material of lenz otherwise she won't be able to discriminate the effect of thickness of lenz from other causes.

A passenger compartment of a rotating amusement park ride contains a bench on which a book of mass
Basile [38]

a) 120 s

b) v = 0.052R [m/s]

Explanation:

a)

The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).

The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.

To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.

The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.

Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.

Therefore, the period is

T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s

b)

The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.

The perimeter of the wheel is:

L=2\pi R

where R is the radius of the wheel.

The period of revolution is:

T=120 s

Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:

v=\frac{L}{T}=\frac{2\pi R}{120}=0.052R

In this problem, you will analyze a system composed of two blocks, 1 and 2, of respective masses m1 and m2. To simplify the anal
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a) p = m1 v1 + m2 v2 , b) dp / dt = m1 a1 + m2 a2 , c) It is equivalent to force

dp / dt = 0

Explanation:

In this problem we have two blocks and the system is formed by the two bodies.

Part A. Initially they ask us to find the moment of the whole system

    p = m1 v1 + m2 v2

Part B.

Find the derivative

     dp / dt = m1 dv1dt + m2 dv2 / dt

     dp / dt = m1 a1 + m2 a2

Part C.

Let's analyze the dimensions

     m a = [kg] [m / s2] = [N]

It is equivalent to force

Part d

Acceleration is due to a net force applied

Part e

The acceleration of block 1 is due to the force exerted by block 2 during the moment change

Part f

Force of block 1 on block 2

True f12 = m1a1        f21 = m2a2

Part g

By the law of action and reaction are equal magnitude F12 = f21

Part H

     dp / dt = 0

Isolated system F12 = F21 and the masses are constant. The total moment is only redistributed

A cylinder rotating about its axis with a constant angular acceleration of 1.6 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. At the instant
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The magnitude of the total linear acceleration is 0.27 m/s²

b. 0.27 m/s²

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration is the vector sum of the tangential acceleration and radial acceleration.

The radial acceleration is given by;

a_t = ar

where;

a is the angular acceleration and

r is the radius of the circular path

a_t = ar\\\\a_t = 1.6 *0.13\\\\a_t = 0.208 \ m/s^2

Determine time of the rotation;

\theta = \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\0.4 = \frac{1}{2} (1.6)t^2\\\\t^2 = 0.5\\\\t = \sqrt{0.5} \\\\t = 0.707 \ s\\\\

Determine angular velocity

ω = at

ω = 1.6 x 0.707

ω = 1.131 rad/s

Now, determine the radial acceleration

a_r = \omega ^2r\\\\a_r = 1.131^2 (0.13)\\\\a_r = 0.166 \ m/s^2

The magnitude of total linear acceleration is given by;

a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_r^2} \\\\a = \sqrt{0.208^2 + 0.166^2} \\\\a = 0.266 \ m/s^2\\\\a = 0.27  \ m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the total linear acceleration is 0.27 m/s²

b. 0.27 m/s²

A constant eastward horizontal force of 70 newtons is applied to a 20 -kilogram crate moving toward the east on a level floor. I
matrenka [14]

Answer:

a = 3 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of crate = 20 Kg

horizontal force on crate = 70 N

frictional force on the crate = 10 N

acceleration of crate = ?

now, calculating net force acting on the crate.

 F = horizontal force - frictional force

 F = 70 - 10

 F = 60 N

net force on the crate is equal to 60 N.

We also know that

F = m a

60 = 20 x a

a = 3 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the crate is equal to 3 m/s²
