Answer:

Force constant, k = 653.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the bag of oranges on a scale, W = 22.3 N

Let m is the mass of the bag of oranges,

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{22.3}{9.8}$

m = 2.27 kg

Frequency of the oscillation of the scale, f = 2.7 Hz

We need to find the force constant (spring constant) of the spring of the scale. We know that the formula of the frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

$k=4\pi^2 f^2m$

$k=4\pi^2 \times (2.7)^2\times 2.27$

k = 653.3 N/m

So, the force constant of the spring of the scale is 653.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the total flux φ that now passes through the cylindrical surface? enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cyl

trasher [3.6K]

Net flux through the cylindrical surface is given as

$\phi = \frac{q}{epsilon_0}$

here q = enclosed charge in the surface

so here in order to find the value of q

$q = \lambda* L$

so now we have

$\phi = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}$

so this is the total flux

now by Gauss's law we can find the electric field

$\int E.dA = \phi$

$\int E.dA = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E* 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda * L}{epsilon_0}$

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

<em>by above expression we can find the electric field at required position</em>

7) Three resistors having resistances of 4.0 Ω, 6.0 Ω, and 10.0 Ω are connected in parallel. If the combination is connected in

viva [34]

Answer:

A, 0.59A

Explanation:

The total resistance in the circuit is the resistances in parallel plus that in series.

Total resistance for those in parallel is;

1/(1/4 +1/6 +1/10) = 1/ (15+10+6 /60)

1/(31/60)= 60/31 ohms

Hence total resistance of the circuit is;

60/31 + 2 = (60+62)/31 = 122/31=3.94 ohms

To calculate the current flowing through the 10ohm resistance we need to know the voltage drop by subtracting the voltage drop in the 2ohm resistance from the total voltage drop.

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance is;

Current on the 2 ohm resistor × 2 ohms

V = I ×R ; I - current

R - resistance

Current drop on the 2ohm resistance is;

Total voltage in the circuit/ total resistance in the circuit

12/3.94= 3.05A

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance;

3.05 × 2 = 6.10volts

Hence voltage drop on the parallel resistance would be ;

12-6.10= 5.90V

Now voltage drop in a parallel circuit is the same hence 5.90v is dropped in each of the parallel resistance.

That said, the current drop on the 10 ohm resistor would be;

5.90/10 = 0.59A

Remember V= I× R so that I = V/R

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land.

Alika [10]

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

We can solve this distance exercise with vectors, the easiest method s to find the components of the position of each plane and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find distance between them

Airplane 1

Height y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

cos 25 = x / r

sin 25 = z / r

x₁ = r cos 20

z₁ = r sin 25

x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m= 7607 m

2 plane

Height y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

z₂ = 20 103 without 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

The distance between the planes using the Pythagorean Theorem is

d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Let's calculate

d² = (18126-16314)² + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

d² = 3,283 106 +9 104 + 7,140 105

d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

d = √(408.7 10⁴)

d = 20,216 10² m

d = 2021.6 km

A professor's office door is 0.99 m wide, 2.2 m high, 4.2 cm thick; has a mass of 27 kg, and pivots on frictionless hinges. A "d

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$I=8.8209\ kg.m^2$

$\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

width of door, $w=0.99\ m$

height of the door, $h=2.2\ m$

thickness of the door, $t=4.2\ cm$

mass of the door, $m=27\ kg$

torque on the door, $\tau=5.6\ N.m$

<em>∵Since the thickness of the door is very less as compared to its other dimensions, therefore we treat it as a rectangular sheet.</em>

For a rectangular sheet we have the mass moment of inertia inertia as:

$I=\frac{1}{3} m.w^2$

$I=\frac{1}{3}\times 27\times 0.99^2$

$I=8.8209\ kg.m^2$

We have a relation between mass moment of inertia, torque and angular acceleration as:

$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha=\frac{5.6}{8.8209}$

$\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}$

One end of a string is fixed. An object attached to the other end moves on a horizontal plane with uniform circular motion of ra

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

Explanation:

The radial acceleration ( $a_{r}$ ), measured in meters per square second, experimented by the moving end of the string is determined by the following kinematic formula:

$a_{r} = 4\pi^{2}\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (1)

Where:

$f$ - Frequency, measured in hertz.

$R$ - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

From Second Newton's Law, the centripetal acceleration is due to the existence of tension ( $T$ ), measured in newtons, through the string, then we derive the following model:

$\Sigma F = T = m\cdot a_{r}$ (2)

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

By applying (1) in (2), we have the following formula:

$T = 4\pi^{2}\cdot m\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (3)

From where we conclude that tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency. Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left(\frac{f_{2}}{f_{1}} \right)^{2}\cdot \left(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} \right)$ (4)

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 4\cdot 2$

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 8$

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.
