Neha and Suhani are playing with two identical pendulums. They leave the bob from a certain position and wait for it to return t

o the same point. The one who waits for a shorter time wins. Neha leaves her pendulum from point L and Suhani leaves her pendulum from point P (see figure). What happens?
a. Neha wins as her bob comes back faster.
b. Suhani wins as her bob comes back faster.
c. No one wins as the bobs come back at the same time.
d. We cannot say any of the above for sure.

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

The pendulum bob would return at the same time because the initial angle a pendulum bob is dropped does not affect it's period (the time it takes for the pendulum to move back and forth), however the one with a larger angle move faster but would eventually arrive at the same "starting point" due to varying displacements made.

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of −5.2
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The car strikes the tree with a final speed of 4.165 m/s

The acceleration need to be of -5.19 m/seg2 to avoid collision by 0.5m

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the initial speed V_{0}

x=V_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *a*(t^{2} )\\62.5m=V_{0} *4.15s+\frac{1}{2} *-5.25\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(4.15^{2} )\\V_{0}=25.953\frac{m}{s}

Once we have the initial speed, we can isolate the final speed from following equation:

V_{f} =V_{0} +a*t  V_{f}= 4.165 \frac{m}{s}  

Then we can calculate the aceleration where the car stops 0.5 m before striking the tree.

To do that, we replace 62 m in the first formula, as follows:

x=V_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *a*(t^{2} )\\62m=25.953\frac{m}{s}*4.15s+\frac{1}{2} *-a\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(4.15^{2} )\\a=-5.19\frac{m}{s^{2} }

A 0.4 kilogram sample of aluminum at 115 degrees Celsius is put into a container containing 0.5 kilograms of water at 15 degrees
AlladinOne [14]

The heat liberated by the aluminium container would be equal to heat absorbed by the water.


According to the first law of thermodynamics for a closed system the total energy of the system is always conserved. Therefore the energy liberated by the aluminium container will completely absorbed by the water untill they both come to thermal equilibrium.

1.5 kg of air within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 800 K and
liraira [26]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carton cycle consists of four thermodynamic processes . The first is isothermal expansion at higher temperature , then adiabatic expansion which lowers the temperature of gas . The third process is isothermal compression at lower temperature and the last process is adiabatic compression which increases the temperature of the gas to its original temperature .

So the given process of isothermal compression must have been done at the temperature of 300K  , keeping the temperature constant .

Work done on gas at isothermal compression is equal to heat transfer .

work done on gas = 80 x 10³ J

work done on gas = n RT ln v₁ / v₂

n is number of moles v₁ and v₂ are initial and final volume

molecular weight of gas = 28.97 g

1.5 kg = 1500 / 28.97 moles

= 51.77 moles

work done on gas = n RT ln v₁ / v₂

Putting the values in the equation above

80 x 10³ = 51.78 x 8.31 x 300 x ln v₁ / .2

ln v₁ / .2 = .62

v₁ / .2 = 1.8589

v₁ = 0.37 m³

A nonuniform, horizontal bar of mass m is supported by two massless wires against gravity. The left wire makes an angle ϕ1 with
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

x=\frac{L}{tan(\phi_1)cot(\phi_2)+1}

Explanation:

Let 'F₁'  and 'F₂' be the forces applied by left and right wires on the bar as shown in the diagram below.

Now, the horizontal and vertical components of these forces are:

F_{1x} = -F_1cos(\phi_1)\\F_{1y}=F_1sin(\phi_1)\\\\F_{2x}=F_2cos(\phi_2)\\F_{2y}=F_2sin(\phi_2)

As the system is in equilibrium, the net force in x and y directions is 0 and net torque about any point is also 0. Therefore,

\sum F_x=0\\F_{1x}=F_{2x}\\F_1cos(\phi_1)=F_2cos(\phi_2)\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{cos(\phi_2)}{cos(\phi_1)}-------1

Now, let us find the net torque about a point 'P' that is just above the center of mass at the upper edge of the bar.

At point 'P', there are no torques exerted by the F₁x and F₂x nor the weight of the bar as they all lie along the axis of rotation.

Therefore, the net torque by the forces F_{1y}\ and\ F_{2y} will be zero. This gives,

-F_{1y}\times x + F_{2y}(L-x) = 0\\F_{1y}\times x=F_{2y}(L-x)\\x=\frac{F_{2y}(L-x)}{F_{1y}}

But, F_{1y}=F_1sin(\phi_1)\ and\ F_{2y}=F_2sin(\phi_2)

Therefore,

x=\frac{F_2sin(\phi_2)(L-x)}{F_1sin(\phi_1)}\\\textrm{From equation (1),}\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{cos(\phi_1)}{cos(\phi_2)}\\\therefore x=\frac{cos(\phi_1)}{cos(\phi_2)}\times \frac{sin(\phi_2}{sin(\phi_1)}\times (L-x)\\x=\frac{cos(\phi_1)}{cos(\phi_2)}\times \frac{sin(\phi_2}{sin(\phi_1)}\times L-\frac{cos(\phi_1)}{cos(\phi_2)}\times \frac{sin(\phi_2}{sin(\phi_1)}\times x\\\\

x(1+\frac{cos(\phi_1)}{cos(\phi_2)}\times \frac{sin(\phi_2}{sin(\phi_1)})=\frac{cos(\phi_1)}{cos(\phi_2)}\times \frac{sin(\phi_2}{sin(\phi_1)}L\\x(1+\frac{cos(\phi_1)}{sin(\phi_1)}\times \frac{sin(\phi_2}{cos(\phi_2)})=\frac{cos(\phi_1)}{cos(\phi_2)}\times \frac{sin(\phi_2}{sin(\phi_1)}L

We know,

tan(\phi)=\frac{sin(\phi)}{cos(\phi)}\\\\cot(\phi)=\frac{cos(\phi)}{sin(\phi)}

∴x=\frac{L}{tan(\phi_1)cot(\phi_2)+1}

To calculate lobe lift, you need to know the _______ diameter and the lobe height
svetoff [14.1K]
The answer is the diameter of the cam shaft.

This is used to compute for the area of the circle so you can multiply it with the rocker ratio to get maximum amount of weight the valve can lift.
