A 4.99 m long rod of negligible weight is attached on one end to a ball joint which allows the rod to rotate in all directions.

The free end of the rod points 26◦ above the eastward horizontal direction. A 62.5 N force directed vertically Down is applied at the rod’s free end. What is the direction of the torque due to this force (relative to the pivot end of the rod)?

Answer:

The answer is 91.18 Nm

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that

The length of the rod = 4.99 m

∅ = 26°

Force = 62.5N

Now,

T = r * F

The direction of the torque will be in horizontally northward

The torque magnitude is T =r F sin θ

where ∅ will be the angle between r + F θ= 163°

Therefore,

T = 4.99 * 62.5 * sin 163

T =91.18 Nm

A stationary particle of charge q = 2.1 × 10-8 c is placed in a laser beam (an electromagnetic wave) whose intensity is 2.9 × 10

alisha [4.7K]

(a) The intensity of the electromagnetic wave is related to the amplitude of the electric field by
$I= \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon_0 E^2$
where
I is the intensity
c is the speed of light
$\epsilon_0$ is the electric permittivity
E is the amplitude of the electric field

By substituting the numbers of the problem and re-arranging the equation, we can find E:
$E= \frac{2 I}{c \epsilon_0} = \frac{2 ( 2.9 \cdot 10^3 Wm^{-2})}{(3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} Fm^{-1})} =2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C$

Now that we have the intensity of the electric field, we can calculate the electric force on the charge:
$F=qE=(2.1 \cdot 10^{-8} C)(2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C)=0.046 N$

(b) We can calculate the amplitude of the magnetic field starting from the amplitude of the electric field:
$B= \frac{E}{c}= \frac{2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=7.3 \cdot 10^{-3} T$

The magnetic force is given by
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where v is the particle's speed, B the magnetic field intensity and $\theta$ the angle between B and v.
In this case the charge is stationary, so v=0, and so the magnetic force is zero: F=0.

(c) The electric force has not changed compared to point (a), because it does not depend on the speed of the particle, so we have again F=0.046 N.

(d) This time, the particle is moving with speed $v=3.7 \cdot 10^4 m/s$ , in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field (so, the angle $\theta$ is $90^{\circ}$ ), and so by using the intensity of the magnetic field we found in point (b), we can calculate the magnetic force on the particle:
$F=qvB \sin \theta = (2.1 \cdot 10^{-8}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^4 m/s)(7.3 \cdot 10^{-3} T)(\sin 90^{\circ} )=$
$=5.7 \cdot 10^{-6} N$

A 1.0 104 kg spacecraft is traveling through space with a speed of 1200 m/s relative to Earth. A thruster fires for 2.0 min, exe

aniked [119]

We are given information:
$m=1.0* 10^{4} kg \\ v=1200m/s \\ t=2min=120s \\ F = 25kN = 25000N$

If we apply Newton's second law we can calculate acceleration:
F = m * a
a = F / m
a = 25000 / 10000
a = 2.5 m/s^2

Now we can use this information to calculate change of speed.
a = v / t
v = a * t
v = 2.5 * 120
v = 300 m/s

Force is being applied in direction that is opposite to a direction in which space craft is moving. This means that final speed will be reduced.
v = 1200 - 300
v = 900 m/s

Formula for momentum is:
p = m * v
Initial momentum:
p = 10000 * 1200
p = 12 000 000
p = 12 *10^6 kg*m/s
Final momentum:
p = 10000 * 900
p = 9 000 000
p = 9 *10^6 kg*m/s

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice

Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.

Jeremy accidently dropped his toy stuffed animal from the balcony of his apartment on the fourth floor. The toy hit the ground a

LekaFEV [45]

According to the second law of motion, force is the product of mass times acceleration. If we were to solve for the force, we would need the acceleration and the mass.

Acceleration was not given in the problem, but we can solve for it by using the velocity and the time because by definition, acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

$a = \frac{vf-vi}{t}$

The initial velocity is 16.0m/s because it is the first recorded time. The final is 0 m/s or the last recorded velocity. The time we will use is 2.0 s because it is the time the change in velocity occurred.

$a = \frac{vf-vi}{t}$
$a = \frac{0m/s-16.0m/s}{2.0s}$
$a = \frac{-16.0m/s}{2.0s}$
$a=-8.0m/ s^{2}$

Now that we have acceleration, we can now solve for the Force. Again Force is the product of mass and acceleration.

$F=ma$
$F=(0.25kg)(-8.0m/ s^{2} )$
$F=-2kg.m/ s^{2} )$ or $-2N$

The force is -2N. Now if you are looking for the magnitude of the force then you can just put 2N.

The negative sign indicates the direction of the force, if it is negative this means that the force applied was in the opposite direction.

A convex mirror with a focal length of 0.25 m forms a 0.080 m tall image of an automobile at a distance of 0.24 m behind the mir

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The distance and height of the object is 6 m and 2 m.

The image is virtual and upright.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length = 0.25 m

Length of image = 0.080 m

Image distance = 0.24 m

We need to calculate the distance of the object

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{0.24}=\dfrac{1}{0.25}+\dfrac{1}{u}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{0.24}-\dfrac{1}{0.25}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{6}$

$u=6\ m$

We need to calculate the magnification

Using formula of magnification

$m=-\dfrac{v}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$m=-\dfrac{0.24}{-6}$

$m=0.04$

We need to calculate the height of the object

Using formula of magnification

$m=\dfrac{h'}{h}$

$h=\dfrac{0.080}{0.04}$

$h=2\ m$

A convex mirror produce a virtual and upright image behind the mirror.

Hence, The distance and height of the object is 6 m and 2 m.

The image is virtual and upright.
