Suppose you are driving a car and your friend, who is with you in the car, tosses a softball up and down from her point of view.

A second friend of yours stands on the street and sees you passing by and says, "You are testing projectile motion with the softball!". Your friend on the street claims that each of you measures a different value for the vertical component of the initial velocity of the softball. Do you agree with the statement?

Answer:

No, i disagree.

Explanation:

If the car is moving, it only has a velocity with a component in the horizontal direction. If we use galilean relativity, the velocity of the ball observed by my friend standing in the ground should only be affected in the horizonal direction, while the vertical stays the same for both observers.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

There is no heat transfer in the system as the temperature before and after remains same i.e, 25 C.

Explanation:

Heat energy is mathematically expressed as,

     Q=mCΔT

By looking at the above equation we can say that heat gain or loss by any system is equal to the mass times specific heat multiplied by the change in temperature.  

Now if we consider the water system in view of this equation then ΔT would be 0 therefore it is evident that there is no transfer of heat.

If we consider the empty half of the tank so it is mentioned that there is nothing no air and giving us m=0, hence Q=0.

Mathematically we can express this as

Q=mCΔT

Q=(5)(4200)(0)

Q= 0 KJ <em>(which indicates that there was no heat gain or loss by the system)</em>

Complete Question

An astronaut stands by the rim of a crater on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is 1.62 m/s2. To determine the depth of the crater, she drops a rock and measures the time it takes for it

to hit the bottom. If the time is 6.3 s, what is the depth of the crater?

Answer:

The depth is 32 m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  time is  t =  6.3 s

  The acceleration due to gravity is  g =  1.62 \  m/s^2

 

Generally from kinematic equation

    s = ut + \frac{1}{2}  - at^2

Here the u is the initial  velocity and the value is  0 m/s

      s = 0 + \frac{1}{2}  - (1.62) * (6.3)^2

        s = 32 \ m

In Young's double slit experiment, 402 nm light gives a fourth-order bright fringe at a certain location on a flat screen. What
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

λ₂ = 357.3 nm

Explanation:

The expression for double-slit interference is

          d sin θ = m λ                 constructive interference

          d sin θ = (m + ½) λ        destructive interference.

The initial data corresponds to a constructive interference, they indicate that we are in the fourth order (m = 4), let's look for the separation of the slits

         d sin θ = m λ₁

       

now ask for destructive interference for m = 4

        d sin θ = (m + ½) λ₂

we match these two expressions

         m λ₁ = (m + ½) λ₂

         λ₂ = ( m / m + ½) λλ₁  

let's calculate

         λ₂ =\frac{4}{(4.000 +0.5) \ 401}

        λ₂ = 357.3 nm

Law Incorporation [45]
Drag is usually ignored because its effect on the horizontal velocity is usually negligible due to the short time of flight.

An object's surface area and geometry, along with the object's surrounding wind speed will affect the drag force.

In most cases, drag force will cause the object to land horizontally closer to the predicted landing point as drag is a resistive force.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The tension in the cable T_3 = 993.5 N

The tension in the cable T_2 =  496.75  N

The tension in the cable T_1 = 248.375 N

Explanation:

The diagram attached below depicts the full understanding of what the question is all about.

Now, obtaining the length of cable 1 from the diagram; we have:

L_1 = s_B + 2 s_A        ---------- equation \ (1)

where;

s_B = distance from the fixed point to point B

s_A = distance from the fixed point to pulley A

From the cable 2 as well.we obtain its length

L_2 = ( s_W - s_A) + s_W ------- equation \  (2)

where :

s_W = distance from the fixed point to the weight attached to the pulley

Let differentiate equation (1) in order to deduce a relation between the velocities of A and B with respect to time ;

Since L_1 is constant ; Then:

\frac{dL_1}{dt} = \frac{ds}{dt}+ 2\frac{ds_A}{dt}   ---------- euqation \ (3)

0 = v_B +2 v_A

where;

v_B = velocity at point B

v_A = velocity at pulley A

Let differentiate equation (2) as well in order to deduce a relation between the velocities of W and A with respect to time :

Since L_2 is constant ; Then:

L_2 = (s_W - s_A) +s_W

\frac{dL_2}{dt}=2\frac{ds_W}{dt}-\frac{ds_A}{dt}    ----------- equation \ (4)

0 = 2v_W -v_A

where;

v_W = the velocity of the weight

Let differentiate equation (3) in order to deduce a relation between accelerations A and B with respect to time  

\frac{dv_A}{dt} + 2 \frac{dv_A}{dt } = 0

a_B +2a_A = 0  --------- equation \ (5)

a_A = - \frac{1}{2}a_B

where;

a_A = acceleration at A

a_B= acceleration at B

Replacing 0.5 m/s ² for a_B in equation (5); then

a_A = - \frac{1}{2}*0.5

a_A = - 0.25 \ m/s^2

Let differentiate equation (4) in order to deduce a relation between W and A with respect to time

2\frac{dv__W}{dt}- \frac{dv_A}{dt} = 0

2a__W} -a_A = 0  ----------- equation \ (6)

a__W }=  \frac{1}{2}a_A

where;

a_W = acceleration of weight W

Replacing - 0.25 m/s² for a_A

a__W }=  \frac{1}{2}*(-0.25)

a__W }= -0.125 \ m/s^2

From the second diagram, if we consider the equilibrium of forces acting on the cylinder in y-direction; we have:

\sum F_y = ma_y

mg - T_3 = ma_w

where;

m= mass of the cylinder = 100 kg

T_3 = tension in the string = ???

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a_w = acceleration of the cylinder = - 0.125 \ m/s^2

Plugging all values into above equation; we have

(100 × 9.81) - T_3 = 100(-0.125)

T_3 = 993.5 N

∴ The tension in the cable T_3 = 993.5 N

From the third diagram, if we consider the equilibrium of forces acting on the cylinder in y-direction on the pulley ; we have:

\sum F _y = 0  \\ \\2T_2 -T_3 = 0 \\ \\ T_2 = \frac{T_3}{2}

where ;

T_2 = tension in cable 2

Replacing 993.5 N for T_3 ; we have

T_2 = \frac{993.5 \ N}{2}

T_2 = 496.75 \ N

∴ The tension in the cable T_2 = 496.75 \ N

From the fourth  diagram, if we consider the equilibrium of forces acting on the cylinder in y-direction on the pulley A ; we have

\sum F _y = 0  \\ \\2T_1 -T_2 = 0 \\ \\ T_1 = \frac{T_2}{2}

where;

T_1 = tension in  cable 1

Replacing 496.75 N for T_2 in the above equation; we have:

T_1 = \frac{496.75}{2}

T_1 = 248.375 N

∴ The tension in the cable T_1 = 248.375 N
