Answer:

the vertical distance between the two object will increase uniformly when they are dropped after a fixed interval of time

Explanation:

Since airplane is moving horizontally with constant speed v

so when object is dropped from the plane then the speed of the object will be same as that of the speed of the airplane

so we can say that two object when dropped after some interval of time then they always lie in same vertical line

now we know that they both have same acceleration in vertical line so the motion of two objects relative to each other in vertical direction is always uniform motion because they have no acceleration with respect to each other

So the vertical distance between the two object will increase uniformly when they are dropped after a fixed interval of time

A motorcyclist heading east through a small Iowa town accelerates after he passes a signpost at x=0 marking the city limits. His
adoni [48]

Answer:

1) v_2=23\ m.s^{-1}              &     x_2=43\ m east of sign post

2) x'=55\ m east of sign post

3) x_n=205\ m east of the signpost.

4) v_z=35\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • position of motorcyclist on entering the city at the signpost, x_0=0\ m
  • time of observation after being at x=5m east of the signpost, t_m=0\ s
  • constant acceleration of the on entering the city, a=4\ m.s^{-2}
  • distance of the motorcyclist moments later after entering, s_m=5\ m
  • velocity of the motorcyclist moments later after entering, u_m=15\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now the initial velocity on at the sign board:</u>

u_m^2=u^2+2.a.x_m

where:

u= initial velocity of entering the city at the signpost

Putting respective values:

15^2=u^2+2\times 4\times 5

u=13.6015\ m.s^{-1}

1)

Position at time t_2=2\ s sec.:

Using equation of motion,

x_2=u_m.t_2+\frac{1}{2} a.(t_2)^2+5 because it has already covered 5m before that point

x_2=15\times 2+0.5\times 4\times 2^2+5

x_2=43\ m east of sign post

Velocity at time t_2=2\ s sec.:

v_2=u_m+a.t_2

v_2=15+4\times 2

v_2=23\ m.s^{-1}

2)

Position when the velocity is v'=25\ m.s^{-1}:

using equation of motion,

v'^2=u_m^2+2.a.x'+5

25^2=15^2+2\times 4\times x'+5

x'=55\ m east of sign post

3)

Given that:

acceleration be, a_n=2\ m.s^{-2}

time, t_n=5\ s

Position after the new acceleration and the new given time:

using equation of motion,

x_n=u_m.t_n+\frac{1}{2} a_n.(t_n)^2+5

x_n=15\times 5+0.5\times 2\times 5^2+5

x_n=205\ m east of the signpost.

4)

now time of observation, t_z=5\ s

v_z=u_m+a.t_z

v_z=15+4\times 5

v_z=35\ m.s^{-1}

If we double only the amplitude of a vibrating ideal mass-and-spring system, the mechanical energy of the system:
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

D. increases by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

General equation of SHM

Lets taken the general equation of the displacement given as

x = A sinω t

A=Amplitude ,t=time ,ω=natural frequency

We know that speed V

V=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

V= A ω cosωt

The mechanical energy of spring mass system

U=\dfrac{1}{2}KA^2

K=Spring constant

Now when Amplitude A become 2 times then the mechanical energy will become 4 times.

Therefore the answer is D.

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.

The gravitational field of m1 is denoted by g1. Enter an expression for the gravitational field g1 at position la in terms of m1
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The expression of gravitational field due to mass m_! at a distance l_a

Explanation:

We have given mass is m_1

Distance of the point where we have to find the gravitational field is l_a

Gravitational constant G

We have to find the gravitational filed

Gravitational field is given by g=\frac{Gm_1}{l_a^2}

This will be the expression of gravitational field due to mass m_! at a distance l_a

A plane wall with constant properties is initially at a uniform temperature To. Suddenly, the surface at x = L is exposed to a c
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The distribution is as depicted in the attached figure.

Explanation:

From the given data

  • The plane wall is initially with constant properties is initially at a uniform temperature, To.
  • Suddenly the surface x=L is exposed to convection process such that T∞>To.
  • The other surface x=0 is maintained at To
  • Uniform volumetric heating q' such that the steady state temperature exceeds T∞.

Assumptions which are valid are

  1. There is only conduction in 1-D.
  2. The system bears constant properties.
  3. The volumetric heat generation is uniform

From the given data, the condition are as follows

<u>Initial Condition</u>

At t≤0

T(x,0)=T_o

This indicates that initially the temperature distribution was independent of x and is indicated as a straight line.

<u>Boundary Conditions</u>

<u>At x=0</u>

<u />T(0,t)=T_o<u />

This indicates that the temperature on the x=0 plane will be equal to To which will rise further due to the volumetric heat generation.

<u>At x=L</u>

<u />-k\frac{\partial T}{\partial x}]_{x=L}=h[T(L,t)-T_{\infty}]<u />

This indicates that at the time t, the rate of conduction and the rate of convection will be equal at x=L.

The temperature distribution along with the schematics are given in the attached figure.

Further the heat flux is inferred from the temperature distribution using the Fourier law and is also as in the attached figure.

It is important to note that as T(x,∞)>T∞ and T∞>To thus the heat on both the boundaries will flow away from the wall.
