An astronaut stands on the surface of an asteroid. The astronaut then jumps such that the astronaut is no longer in contact with

the surface. The astronaut falls back down to the surface after a short time interval. Which of the following forces CANNOT be neglected when analyzing the motion of the astronaut?

(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.

Reason :

All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.

A variable-length air column is placed just below a vibrating wire that is fixed at both ends. The length of the air column, ope

pogonyaev

Answer:

The speed of transverse waves in the wire is 234.26 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of wire = 129 cm

Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

First position of resonance = 31.2 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

For pipe open at one end and closed at other, there is node at closed end and an anti node at open end for 1st resonance.

At 1st resonance,

$L=\dfrac{\lambda}{4}$

$\lambda=4\times L$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=4\times31.2\times10^{-2}$

$\lambda=1.248\ m$

We need to calculate the frequency of sound in pipe

Using formula of frequency

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{340}{1.248}$

$f=272.4\ Hz$

We need to calculate the node distance

For the wire, there are 3 segments, so 4 nodes

Node-node distance ,

$L=\dfrac{l}{3}$

$L = \dfrac{129}{3}$

$L=43\ cm$

We need to calculate the wavelength of the wire

Using formula of length

$L=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda=L\times 2$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=43\times2$

$\lambda=86\ cm$

We need to calculate the speed of the wave

Using formula of frequency

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$v=f\times\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$v=272.4\times86\times10^{-2}$

$v=234.26\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of transverse waves in the wire is 234.26 m/s.

Water flows without friction vertically downward through a pipe and enters a section where the cross sectional area is larger. T

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$v_{2}$ will be less than $v_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ will be greater than $P_{1}$ .

Explanation:

As we know from the conservation of mass, the rate at which any amount of fluid mass ( $m_{1}$ ) is entering in a system is equal to the rate at which the same amount of fluid mass ( $m_{2}$ ) is leaving the system.

Rate of mass flow can be written as,

$m = \rho A v$

where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid, $A$ is the area through which the fluid is flowing and $v$ is the velocity of the fluid.

Now, according to the problem, as the density of the fluid does not change, we can write

$&& m_{1} = m_{2}\\&or,& \rho A_{1} v_{1} = \rho A_{2} v_{2}\\&or,& \dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}$

where $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are the cross-sectional areas through which the fluid is passing and $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ are the velocities of the fluid through the respective cross-sectional areas.

As according to the problem, $A_{2} > A_{1}$ , so from the above formula $v_{2} < v_{1}$ .

Also we know that fluid pressure is created by the motion of the fluid through any area. When the fluid gains speed, some of its energy is used to move faster in the fluid’s direction of motion. It causes in a lower pressure.

So, as in this case $v_{2} < v_{1}$ the pressure in the large cross-sectional area $P_{2}$ will be greater than the pressure $P_{1}$ in the small cross sectional area, i.e.,

$P_{2} > P_{1}$ .

What two factors determine the energy production of the Hoover Dam

swat32

Mar 28, 2011 · The Hoover Dam generates electricity using hydropower. Hydropower is the power generated by moving water. Dams are often built on a large river, so the water falls down from the top of the dam. At the bottom of the dam, the water rotates a large turbine

The force of friction is 19.1 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the bag is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

The bag is moving at constant speed, so its acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

Therefore the net force is zero as well:

$\sum F = 0$

Here we are interested only in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, therefore the net force is given by:

$\sum F = F cos \theta - F_f = 0$

where

$F cos \theta$ is the horizontal component of the applied force, with

F = 22.5 N

$\theta=32.0^{\circ}$

$F_f$ is the force of friction

And solving for $F_f$ , we find

$F_f =Fcos \theta=(22.5)(cos 32.0^{\circ})=19.1 N$
