When numbers are very small or very large, it is convenient to either express the value in scientific notation and/or by using a

prefix with the unit. A pain-relieving pill has a mass of 0.005 g. Express the pill’s mass in grams using scientific notation or in milligrams. Express your answer in scientific notation to one significant figure or use a prefix on the unit.

Answer:

5 mg, 5\cdot 10^{-3}g

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g

If  we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x

and we find

x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg

An automobile traveling at 25.0 km/h along a straight, level road accelerates to 65.0 km/h in 6.00 s. what is the magnitude of t
USPshnik [31]
Note that
1 km/h = (1000 m)/(3600 s) = 0.27778 m/s

Initial velocity, v₁ = 25 km/h = 6.9444 m/s
Final velocity, v₂ = 65 km/h = 18.0556 m/s

Time interval, dt = 6 s.

Calculate average acceleration.
a = (v₂ - v₁)/dt
   = (18.0556 - 6.9444 m/s)/(6 s)
   = 1.852 m/s²

Answer:
The average acceleration is 1.85 m/s² (nearest hundredth)

Jeff of the Jungle swings on a 7.6-m vine that initially makes an angle of 32 ∘ with the vertical.
shtirl [24]

To solve this problem we will use the trigonometric concepts to find the distance h, which will allow us to find the speed of Jeff and that will finally be the variable that will indicate the total tension, since it is the variable of the centrifugal Force given in the vine at the lowest poing of the swing.

From the image:

cos (32) = \frac{(7.6-h)}{7.6}

h = 1.1548m

When Jeff reaches his lowest point his potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.1548)}

v= 4.75m/s

Tension in the string at the lowest point is sum of weight of Jeff and the his centripetal force

T = W+F_c

T = mg + \frac{mv^2}{r}

T = (83)(9.8)+\frac{(9.8)( 4.75)^2}{7.6}

T = 842.49N

Therefore the tension in the vine at the lowest point of the swing is 842.49N

A uniform metre rule of weight 0.9 N is suspended horizontally by two vertical loops of thread A and B placed at 20cm and 30cm f
podryga [215]

Answer:

(a) 29 cm

(b) 43.5 cm

Explanation:

(a) when loop A is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 70 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about B:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 70 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 70 cm) = 0

18 Ncm − 2 N (x − 70 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 70 cm) = 18 Ncm

x − 70 cm = 9 cm

x = 79 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 79 cm| = 29 cm.

(b) when loop B is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 20 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about A:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 20 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 20 cm) = 0

-27 Ncm − 2 N (x − 20 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 20 cm) = -27 Ncm

x − 20 cm = -13.5 cm

x = 6.5 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 6.5 cm| = 43.5 cm

A 600-turn solenoid, 25 cm long, has a diameter of 2.5 cm. A 14-turn coil is wound tightly around the center of the solenoid. If
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The induced emf in the short coil during this time is 1.728 x 10⁻⁴ V

Explanation:

The magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is given by;

B = μ(N/L)I

Where;

μ is permeability of free space

N is the number of turn

L is the length of the solenoid

I is the current in the solenoid

The rate of change of the field is given by;

\frac{\delta B}{\delta t} = \frac{\mu N \frac{\delta i}{\delta t} }{L} \\\\\frac{\delta B}{\delta t} = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7} *600* \frac{5}{0.6} }{0.25}\\\\\frac{\delta B}{\delta t} =0.02514 \ T/s

The induced emf in the shorter coil is calculated as;

E = NA\frac{\delta B}{\delta t}

where;

N is the number of turns in the shorter coil

A is the area of the shorter coil

Area of the shorter coil = πr²

The radius of the coil = 2.5cm / 2 = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m

Area of the shorter coil = πr² = π(0.0125)² = 0.000491 m²

E = NA\frac{\delta B}{\delta t}

E = 14 x 0.000491 x 0.02514

E = 1.728 x 10⁻⁴ V

Therefore, the induced emf in the short coil during this time is 1.728 x 10⁻⁴ V
