Two workhorses tow a barge along a straight canal. Each horse exerts a constant force of magnitude F, and the tow ropes make an

angle θ with the direction of motion of the horses and the barge. Each horse is traveling at a constant speed v.
a. How much work W is done by each horse in a time t? Express the work in terms of the quantities given.
b. How much power P does each horse provide? Express your answer in terms of the quantities given.

Answer:

<em>a) Fvt cosθ</em>

<em>b) Fv cosθ</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Each horse exerts a force = F

the rope is inclined at an angle = θ

speed of each horse = v

a) In time t, the distance traveled d = speed x time

i.e d = v x t = vt

also, the resultant force = F cosθ

Work done W = force x distance

W = F cosθ x vt = <em>Fvt cosθ</em>

<em></em>

b) Power provided by the horse P = force x speed

P = F cosθ x v

P = <em>Fv cosθ</em>

Find the current that flows in a silicon bar of 10-μm length having a 5-μm × 4-μm cross-section and having free-electron and hol
klasskru [66]

The current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 \times 10^-12 A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length of silicon bar, l = 10 μm = 0.001 cm

Free electron density, Ne = 104 cm^3

Hole density, Nh = 1016 cm^3

μn = 1200 cm^2 / V s

μр = 500 cm^2 / V s

The total current flowing in the bar is the sum of the drift current due to the hole and the electrons.

J = Je + Jh

J = n qE μn + p qE μp

where, n and p are electron and hole densities.

J = Eq (n μn + p μp)

we know that E = V / l

So, J = (V / l) q (n μn + p μp)

     J = (1.6 \times 10^-19) / 0.001 (104 \times 1200 + 1016 \times 500)

     J = 1012480 \times 10^-16 A / m^2.

or

J = 1.01 \times 10^-9 A / m^2

Current, I = JA

A is the area of bar, A = 20 μm = 0.002 cm

I = 1.01 \times 10^-9 \times 0.002 = 2.02 \times 10^-12

So, the current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 \times 10^-12 A.

A heavy flywheel is accelerated (rotationally) by a motor that provides constant torque and therefore a constant angular acceler
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Part a)

t_1 = \frac{\omega_1}{\alpha}

Part b)

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t_1^2

Part c)

t = \frac{t_1}{5}

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that it is having constant torque so here the time taken by it to accelerate is given as

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

\omega_1 = 0 + \alpha t_1

t_1 = \frac{\omega_1}{\alpha}

Part b)

angular displacement is given as

\theta = \omega_i t_1 + \frac{1}{2}(\alpha) t_1^2

\theta = 0 + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t_1^2

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t_1^2

Part c)

As we know that the angular deceleration produced by the brakes is given as

\alpha_d = - 5\alpha

now we have

\omega_f = \omega _i + \alpha t

0 = \omega_1 - 5 \alpha_1 t

t = \frac{\omega_1}{5 \alpha}

As we know that

t_1 = \frac{\omega_1}{\alpha}

so we have

t = \frac{t_1}{5}

Deep-sea divers often breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to avoid getting the "bends" from breathing high-pressure nitrogen.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

0.69444 m, 0.08152 m, 0.32407 m, 0.03804 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity of sound

f = Frequency

Length of vocal tract is given by

L=\dfrac{v}{4f}

At f = 270 Hz v = 750 m/s

L=\dfrac{750}{4\times 270}\\\Rightarrow L=0.69444\ m

At f = 2300 Hz v = 750 m/s

L=\dfrac{750}{4\times 2300}\\\Rightarrow L=0.08152\ m

At f = 270 Hz v = 350 m/s

L=\dfrac{350}{4\times 270}\\\Rightarrow L=0.32407\ m

At f = 2300 Hz v = 350 m/s

L=\dfrac{350}{4\times 2300}\\\Rightarrow L=0.03804\ m
