Sometimes arithmetic problems can be solved much more easily using the dimensional analysis approach. You focus on the units of the given information. Then, you manipulate them applying the laws of algebra where like units cancel, in order to end up with the unit of the unknown.

Given:
-50 nc/step
31 steps
Unknown: charge

Thus,
Charge = -50 nc/step * 31 steps =<em> -1550 nc</em>

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

A passenger compartment of a rotating amusement park ride contains a bench on which a book of mass
Basile [38]

a) 120 s

b) v = 0.052R [m/s]

Explanation:

a)

The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).

The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.

To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.

The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.

Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.

Therefore, the period is

T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s

b)

The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.

The perimeter of the wheel is:

L=2\pi R

where R is the radius of the wheel.

The period of revolution is:

T=120 s

Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:

v=\frac{L}{T}=\frac{2\pi R}{120}=0.052R

Springfield's "classic rock" radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 102.1 mhz. what is the length of the radio wave in meter
Mila [183]
The frequency of the radio wave is:
f=102.1 MHz = 102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light and f the frequency. Plugging numbers into the equation, we find
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz}= 2.94 m
and this is the wavelength of the radio waves in the problem.

8.4-1 Consider a magnetic field probe consisting of a flat circular loop of wire with radius 10 cm. The probe’s terminals corres
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

B_o = 1.013μT

Explanation:

To find B_o you take into account the formula for the emf:

\epsilon=-\frac{d\Phi_b}{dt}=-\frac{dBAcos\theta}{dt}=-Acos\theta\frac{dB}{dt}

where you used that A (area of the loop) is constant, an also the angle between the direction of B and the normal to A.

By applying the derivative you obtain:

\epsilon=-Acos\theta (2\pi f) B_ocos(2\pi f t+ \alpha)

when the emf is maximum the angle between B and the normal to A is zero, that is, cosθ = 1 or -1. Furthermore the cos function is 1 or -1. Hence:

\epsilon=2\pi fAB_o=2\pi (100*10^3Hz)(\pi (0.1m)^2)B_o=19739.20Hzm^2B_o\\\\B_o=\frac{20*10^{-3}V}{19739.20Hzm^2}=1.013*10^{-6}T=1.013\mu T

hence, B_o = 1.013μT
