A solid block of mass m is suspended in a liquid by a thread. The density of the block is greater than that of the liquid. Initi

ally, the fluid level is such that the block is at a depth d and the tension in the thread is T. Then, the fluid level is decreased such that the depth is 0.5d. What is the tension in the thread when the block is at the new depth?

Answer:

(C) T

The tension T at equilibrium will be equal to the Buoyant force.

The Buoyant force is given by:

Fb = density x acceleration due to gravity x volume displaced

The change in height doesn't affect the Buoyant force and hence the tension.

In a simple model of the hydrogen atom, the electron moves in a circular orbit of radius 0.053nm around a stationary proton. par

Alenkasestr [34]

<span>Here the force that is applied between the electron and proton is centripetal, so equate the two forces to determine the velocity.
We know charge of the electron which for both Q1 and Q2, e = 1.60 x 10^-19 C
The Coulombs Constant k = 9.0 x 10^9
Radius r = 0.053 x 10^-9m = 5.3 x 10^-11 m
Mass of the Electron = 9.11 x 10^-31
F = k x Q1 x Q2 / r^2 = m x v^2 / r(centripetal force)
ke^2 / r^2 = m x v^2 / r => v^2 = ke^2 / m x r
v^2 = ((1.60 x 10^-19)^2 x 9.0 x 10^9) / (9.11 x 10^-31 x 5.3 x 10^-11 )
v^2 = 4.77 x 10^12 = 2.18 x 10^6 m/s
Since one orbit is the distance,
one orbit = circumference = 2 x pi x r; distance s = v x t.
v x t = 2 x pi x r => t = (2 x 3.14 x 5.3 x 10^-11) / (2.18 x 10^6)
t = 33.3 x 10^-11 / 2.18 x 10^6 = 15.27 x 10^-17 s
Revolutions per sec = 1 / t = 1 / 15.27 x 10^-17 = 6.54 x 10^15 Hz</span>

A diver in the pike position (legs straight, hands on ankles) usually makes only one or one-and-a-half rotations. To make two or

Korolek [52]

Answer:

from the above analysis we can say that the angular velocity in the later case is more than that of the former case. This means that the number of rotation made in the truck case is more than that made in pike position.

Explanation:

This can be explained on the basis of conservation of angular momentum.

This means the initial and the final angular velocity is conserved. Consider initial position (1)in the pike and final position in the be truck position. So there inertia's will also be different.

⇒ $I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2$

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{\omega_2}{\omega_1}$

also,

$I_1= mr_1^2$

$I_2= mr_2^2$

since, $r_2^2$

$I_2^2$

therefore,

$\omega_1^2$

So, from the above analysis we can say that the angular velocity in the later case is more than that of the former case. This means that the number of rotation made in the truck case is more than that made in pike position.

The air surrounding an airplane in flight exerts a drag force that acts opposite to the airplane's motion. When an Airbus A380 i

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$4.32\cdot 10^5 hp$ , $3.22\cdot 10^8 W$

Explanation:

The jet is flying at constant velocity: this means that its acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the jet is also zero.

Therefore, we can write:

$4F_T - F_d = 0$

where

$F_T = 322,000 N$ is the thrust force generated by each engine of the jet

$F_d$ is the drag force

Solving for Fd,

$F_d = 4 F_T = 4(322,000)=1.288\cdot 10^6 N$

The velocity of the jet is

$v=250 m/s$

So, the rate at which the drag force does work (which is the power) is

$P=F_d v$

and substituting

$F_d = 1.288\cdot 10^6 N\\v = 250 m/s$

we find

$P=(1.288\cdot 10^6)(250)=3.22\cdot 10^8 W$

Converting into horsepower,

$P=\frac{3.22\cdot 10^8}{746}=4.32\cdot 10^5 hp$

A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted electromagnet 4.0 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor, 4

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

7.9 m/s

Explanation:

When both balls collide, they have spent the same time for their motions.

Motion of steel ball

This is purely under gravity. It is vertical.

Initial velocity, <em>u </em>= 0 m/s

Distance, <em>s</em> = 4.0 m - 1.2 m = 2.8 m

Acceleration, <em>a</em> = g

Using the equation of motion

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$2.8 \text{ m} = 0+\dfrac{gt^2}{2}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}}$

Motion of plastic ball

This has two components: a vertical and a horizontal.

The vertical motion is under gravity.

Considering the vertical motion,

Initial velocity, <em>u </em>= ?

Distance, <em>s</em> = 1.2 m

Acceleration, <em>a</em> = -<em>g </em> (It is going up)

Using the equation of motion

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$1.2\text{ m} = ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Substituting the value of <em>t</em> from the previous equation,

$1.2\text{ m} = u\sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times g\times\dfrac{5.6}{g}$

$u\sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}} = 4.0$

Taking <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s²,

$u = \dfrac{4.0}{0.756} = 5.29 \text{ m/s}$

This is the vertical component of the initial velocity

Considering the horizontal motion which is not accelerated,

horizontal component of the initial velocity is horizontal distance ÷ time.

$u_h = \dfrac{4.4\text{ m}}{0.756\text{ s}} = 5.82\text{ m/s}$

The initial velocity is

$v_i = \sqrt{u^2+u_h^2} = \sqrt{(5.29\text{ m/s})^2+(5.82\text{ m/s})^2} = 7.9 \text{ m/s}$
