Anything that's moving in a straight line at a constant speed has zero acceleration, and that tells us that there is zero net force acting on it.

A system of two paint buckets connected by a lightweight rope is released from rest with the 12.0-kg bucket 2.00 m above the flo

NISA [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of small bucket (m) = 4 kg

Mass of big bucket (M) = 12 kg

Initial velocity ( $v_{o}$ ) = 0 m/s

Final velocity ( $v_{f}$ ) = ?

Height $H_{o} = h_{f}$ = 2 m

and, $H_{f} = h_{o}$ = 0 m

Now, according to the law of conservation of energy

starting conditions = final conditions

$\frac{1}{2}MV^{2}_{o} + Mgh_{o} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{o} + mgh_{o} = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}_{f} + Mgh_{f} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{f} + mgh_{f}$

$\frac{1}{2}(12)(0)^{2} + (12)(9.81)(2) + \frac{1}{2}(4)(0)^{2} + (4)(9.81)(0) = \frac{1}{2}(12)V^{2}_{f} + (12)(9.81)(0) + \frac{1}{2}(4)V^{2}_{f} + (4)(9.81)(2)$

235.44 = $8V^{2}_{f}$ + 78.48

$V_{f}$ = 4.43 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed with which this bucket strikes the floor is 4.43 m/s.

When a car is 100 meters from its starting position traveling at 60.0 m/s., it starts braking and comes to a stop 350 meters fro

NISA [10]

Remember your kinematic equations for constant acceleration. One of the equations is $x_{f} = x_{i} + v_{i}(t) + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ , where $x_{f}$ = final position, $x_{i}$ = initial position, $v_{i}$ = initial velocity, t = time, and a = acceleration.

Your initial position is where you initially were before you braked. That means $x_{i}$ = 100m. You final position is where you ended up after t seconds passed, so $x_{f}$ = 350m. The time it took you to go from 100m to 350m was t = 8.3s. You initial velocity at the initial position before you braked was $v_{i}$ = 60.0 m/s. Knowing these values, plug them into the equation and solve for a, your acceleration:
$350\:m = 100\:m + (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\
250\:m = (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\
250\:m = 498\:m +34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\
-248\:m = 34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\
a \approx -7.2 \: m/s^{2}$

Your acceleration is approximately $-7.2 \: m/s^{2}$ .

I think that the girl has greater tangential acceleration because she is closer to the center and the acceleration is greater there.

A coaxial cable consists of a solid inner cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm and an outer cylindrical shell of inner radius 3

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

d) 1.2 mT

Explanation:

Here we want to find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 2.5 mm from the axis of the coaxial cable.

First of all, we observe that:

- The internal cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm can be treated as a conductive wire placed at the axis of the cable, since here we are analyzing the field outside the radius of the conductor. The current flowing in this conductor is

I = 15 A

- The external conductor, of radius between 3 mm and 3.5 mm, does not contribute to the field at r = 2.5 mm, since 2.5 mm is situated before the inner shell of the conductor (at 3 mm).

Therefore, the net magnetic field is just given by the internal conductor. The magnetic field produced by a wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I = 15 A is the current in the conductor

r = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m is the distance from the axis at which we want to calculate the field

Substituting, we find:

$B=\frac{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7})(15)}{2\pi(0.0025)}=1.2\cdot 10^{-3}T = 1.2 mT$
