Read each scenario and then answer the question. Scenario A: A 7 N bucket is raised a distance of 6 m. Scenario B: A 10 N bucket

is raised a distance of 4 m. Scenario C: A 12 N bucket is raised a distance of 3 m. Which scenario requires the most work?

The work done is equal to the weight (mg) of the bucket times the altitude at which it is raised, h:
$W=mgh$
Let's calculate the work for the 3 scenarios:
$W_A = (7 N)(6 m)=42 J$
$W_B=(10 N)(4 m)=40 J$
$W_C=(12 N)(3 m)=36 J$

So, the scenario which requires more work is scenario A.

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 $-7.2 \: m/s^{2}$ .

A heavy stone of mass m is hung from the ceiling by a thin 8.25-g wire that is 65.0 cm long. When you gently pluck the upper end

Triss [41]

Answer: m= 35.6 kg

Explanation:

For finding the mass of the stone we have the formula

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }$

Here, Tension= m*g = m*9.81

and linear mass density= $\frac{8.25 g}{65 cm}$

Linear mass density= $\frac{8.25*10^-3}{65*10^-2}$

Linear mass density= 0.0127 kg/m

Velocity= $2*\frac{l}{t}$

Velocity= 2 * $\frac{65*10^-2}{7.84}$

Velocity= 165.8 m/s

So putting all these values in equation we get

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }$

165.8= $\sqrt{\frac{m*9.81}{0.0127} }$

Solving we get

m= 35.58 kg

or m= 35.6 kg

Two wires are stretched between two fixed supports and have the same length. One wire A there is a second-harmonic standing wave

lina2011 [118]

(a) Greater

The frequency of the nth-harmonic on a string is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency, $f_1$ :

$f_n = n f_1$

So we have:

- On wire A, the second-harmonic has frequency of $f_2 = 660 Hz$ , so the fundamental frequency is:

$f_1 = \frac{f_2}{2}=\frac{660 Hz}{2}=330 Hz$

- On wire B, the third-harmonic has frequency of $f_3 = 660 Hz$ , so the fundamental frequency is

$f_1 = \frac{f_3}{3}=\frac{660 Hz}{3}=220 Hz$

So, the fundamental frequency of wire A is greater than the fundamental frequency of wire B.

(b) $f_1 = \frac{v}{2L}$

For standing waves on a string, the fundamental frequency is given by the formula:

$f_1 = \frac{v}{2L}$

where

v is the speed at which the waves travel back and forth on the wire

L is the length of the string

(c) Greater speed on wire A

We can solve the formula of the fundamental frequency for v, the speed of the wave:

$v=2Lf_1$

We know that the two wires have same length L. For wire A, $f_1 = 330 Hz$ , while for wave B, $f_B = 220 Hz$ , so we can write the ratio between the speeds of the waves in the two wires:

$\frac{v_A}{v_B}=\frac{2L(330 Hz)}{2L(220 Hz)}=\frac{3}{2}$

So, the waves travel faster on wire A.

What is the advantage of the SI unit over CGS units?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The advantage of the SI unit over CGS unit are:

S.I has broader base. It has seven base units and two supplementary units.
S.I is metric.
S.I is coherent.
S.I is rational, i.e. it gives one unit for one physical quantity .e g. for energy of any type i.e, mechanical or heat or electrical.There is only one unit Joule(J) but in M.K.S system unit for mechanical energy is joule.

List some reasons why growth characteristics are more useful on agar plates than on agar slants

SpyIntel [72]

Usually, in culturing of the bacteria we have a slant and then portion f it is transferred to the agar plate. The growth characteristics are more useful in the agar plates because it is where we really do the observation because bacteria in slants are still to be transferred in the agar plates.
