A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0kg fish from a dock that is 2.0m above the water. He is using lightweightfishing line th

at willbreak under a tension of 54N or more. He is eager to the fish to the dock in the shortest time possible. If the fish is at rest at the water's surface, what is the least amount of time in which the fisherman can raise the fish to the dock without losing it?

Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

As we know that fish is pulled upwards with uniform maximum acceleration

then we will have

$T - mg = ma$

here we know that maximum possible acceleration of so that string will not break is given as

$T = 54 N$

now we have

$54 - (5 \times 9.8) = 5 a$

$a = 1 m/s^2$

now for such acceleration we can use kinematics

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$2 = \frac{1}{2}(1) t^2$

t = 2 s

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.

Sholpan [36]

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.

A.Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17.0 Hz, which can be heard n

Y_Kistochka [10]

A. 90.1 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

For the sound emitted by the whale, v = 1531 m/s and f = 17.0 Hz, so the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{1531 m/s}{17.0 Hz}=90.1 m$

B. 102 kHz

We can re-arrange the same equation used previously to solve for the frequency, f:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where for the dolphin:

v = 1531 m/s is the wave speed

$\lambda=1.50 cm=0.015 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation,

$f=\frac{1531 m/s}{0.015 m}=1.02 \cdot 10^5 Hz=102 kHz$

C. 13.6 m

Again, the wavelength is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound in air

f = 25.0 Hz is the frequency of the whistle

Substituting into the equation,

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{25.0 Hz}=13.6 m$

D. 4.4-8.7 m

Using again the same formula, and using again the speed of sound in air (v=340 m/s), we have:

- Wavelength corresponding to the minimum frequency (f=39.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{39.0 Hz}=8.7 m$

- Wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency (f=78.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{78.0 Hz}=4.4 m$

So the range of wavelength is 4.4-8.7 m.

E. 6.2 MHz

In order to have a sharp image, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the tumor, so

$\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.00 mm)=0.25 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m$

And since the speed of the sound wave is

v = 1550 m/s

The frequency will be

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1550 m/s}{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=6.2\cdot 10^6 Hz=6.2 MHz$

A metal has a strength of 414 MPa at its elastic limit and the strain at that point is 0.002. Assume the test specimen is 12.8-m

ser-zykov [4K]

To solve this problem, we will start by defining each of the variables given and proceed to find the modulus of elasticity of the object. We will calculate the deformation per unit of elastic volume and finally we will calculate the net energy of the system. Let's start defining the variables

Yield Strength of the metal specimen

$S_{el} = 414Mpa$

Yield Strain of the Specimen

$\epsilon_{el} = 0.002$

Diameter of the test-specimen

$d_0 = 12.8mm$

Gage length of the Specimen

$L_0 = 50mm$

Modulus of elasticity

$E = \frac{S_{el}}{\epsilon_{el}}$

$E = \frac{414Mpa}{0.002}$

$E = 207Gpa$

Strain energy per unit volume at the elastic limit is

$U'_{el} = \frac{1}{2} S_{el} \cdot \epsilon_{el}$

$U'_{el} = \frac{1}{2} (414)(0.002)$

$U'_{el} = 414kN\cdot m/m^3$

Considering that the net strain energy of the sample is

$U_{el} = U_{el}' \cdot (\text{Volume of sample})$

$U_{el} = U_{el}'(\frac{\pi d_0^2}{4})(L_0)$

$U_{el} = (414)(\frac{\pi*0.0128^2}{4}) (50*10^{-3})$

$U_{el} = 2.663N\cdot m$

Therefore the net strain energy of the sample is $2.663N\codt m$

A long, thin straight wire with linear charge density λ runs down the center of a thin, hollow metal cylinder of radius R. The c

netineya [11]

Answer:

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

Explanation:

We are given that

Linear charge density of wire= $\lambda$

Radius of hollow cylinder=R

Net linear charge density of cylinder= $2\lambda$

We have to find the expression for the magnitude of the electric field strength inside the cylinder r<R

By Gauss theorem

$\oint E.dS=\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

$q=\lambda L$

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

Where surface area of cylinder= $2\pi rL$

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

a 59kg physics student jumps off the back of her laser sailboat (42kg). after she jumps the laser is found to be travelling at 1

evablogger [386]

From the conservation of linear momentum of closed system,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of the student, M = 59 kg

Mass of the laser boat, m = 42 kg

Initial speed of student + laser boat, u =0

Final speed of laser boat, v = 1.5 m/s

Final speed of the student = V

(M+m) u =M V +m v

0 = (59 kg) V + (42 kg) (1.5m/s)

V = - 1.06 m/s

Thus, the speed of the student is 1.06 m/s in the opposite direction of the motion of boat.
