A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.76 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard for t2 = 5 s with a constant acceleration of a2 = -5.93 m/s2.Write an expression for the car's speed just before the driver begins braking, v1.If the limb is on the road at a distance of 550 meters from where the car began its initial acceleration, will the car hit the limb?

Answers

Answer:

1) an expression for the car's speed is given as

v = u + at

where

v is the car's speed

u is the initial speed of the car

a is the car's acceleration

t is the time spent accelerating

2) The car does not hit the tree limb

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the car = 0 m/s  (since it accelerates from rest)

acceleration of the car = 1.76 m/s

time spent accelerating = 20 s

For the car's speed just before the driver begins braking, we use the expression

v = u + at

where v is the final speed of the car just before the driver begins braking

u is the initial velocity with which the car starts moving

a is the acceleration of the car

t is the time spent accelerating from u to v

substituting values, we have

v = 0 + 1.76(20)

v = 0 + 35.2

the car's speed v = 35.2 m/s

In this time the car accelerates, the car moves a distance given by

s = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]a[tex]t^2[/tex]

where s is the distance covered in this time

u is the initial speed of the vehicle

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

substituting, we have

s = 0(20) + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](1.76)[tex]20^{2}[/tex]

s = 0 + 352

distance s = 352 m

When the driver brakes, we have

time spent braking = 5 s

acceleration = -5.93 m/s

and the distance to the limb = 550 m from where the car begun

to get the distance covered in this period, we use the expression

s = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]a[tex]t^2[/tex]

where s is the distance traveled at this time

u is the speed of the car before it starts braking = 35.2 m/s

a is the acceleration at this point

t is the time taken to decelerate to a stop

substituting values, we have

s = 35.2(5) + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](-5.93 x [tex]5^2[/tex])

s = 176 - 74.125

s = 101.88 m

Total distance moved by the car = 352 m + 101.88 m = 453.88 m

Since the total distance traveled by the car is less than the distance from the starting point to the place where the tree limb is, the car does not hit the tree limb.

A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave from a radio station passes perpendicularly through an open window that has area of 0.500 m2 . At the window, the electric field of the wave has an rms value 0.0600 V/m .
How much energy does this wave carry through the window during a 30.0-s commercial? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

The energy of the wave is 1.435 x 10⁻⁴ J

Explanation:

Given;

area of the window, A = 0.5 m²

the rms value of the field, E = 0.06 V/m

The peak value of electric field is given by;

[tex]E_o = \sqrt{2} *E_{rms}\\\\E_o = \sqrt{2}*0.06\\\\E_o = 0.0849 \ V/m[/tex]

The average intensity of the wave is given by;

[tex]I_{avg} = \frac{c \epsilon_o E_o^2 }{2}\\\\I_{avg} = \frac{(3*10^8)( 8.85*10^{-12}) (0.0849)^2 }{2}\\\\I_{avg} = 9.569*10^{-6} \ W/m^2[/tex]

The average power of the wave is given by;

P = I x A

P = (9.569 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²) (0.5 m²)

P = 4.784 x 10⁻⁶ W

The energy of the wave is given by;

E = P x t

E = (4.784 x 10⁻⁶ W)(30 s)

E = 1.435 x 10⁻⁴ J

Therefore, the energy of the wave is 1.435 x 10⁻⁴ J

The position of a particle is given by the function x = \left(2t^3 - 6t^2 + 12\right) m, where t is in s. Question:At what time is the acceleration zero? (with working out)

Answers

Answer:

t = 1sec

Explanation:

Given the position of a particle  expressed by the equation x = (2t^3 - 6t^2 + 12)m, where t is in seconds, the acceleration function can be gotten by taking the second derivative of the function with respect to t as shown;

a = d/dt(dx/dt)

First let us get dx/dt

dx/dt = 3(2)t³⁻¹-2(6)t²⁻¹+0

dx/dt = 6t²-12t

a = d/dt(dx/dt)

a = d/dx(6t²-12t)

a = 2(6)t²⁻¹-12t¹⁻¹

a = 12t - 12t⁰

a = 12t-12

If the acceleration is zero, then;

12t-12 = 0

add 12 to both sides

12t-12+12 = 0+12

12t = 12

t = 12/12

t = 1sec

Hence the time when acceleration is zero is 1sec

Is the sinusoidal pattern on the string longer or shorter with a greater propagation velocity?

Answers

Answer:

Increase in velocity propagation would lead to a longer sinusoidal pattern.

Explanation:

The velocity of propagation has a relationship with the tension in a standing wave and is given by;

v = √(T/μ)

where:

μ is mass per unit length.

T is tension in string

For the sinusoidal pattern on the string to be longer or shorter, it means that the wavelength will be longer or shorter.

Now, relationship between wavelength and velocity and tension is;

v = λ/T

Where V is velocity of propagation, λ is wavelength and T is Tension.

So, λ = vT

From the earlier standing wave equation, we will see that if we increase the velocity, it means the Tension of the spring will increase as well.

Thus, from this wavelength equation, an increase in velocity means an increase in tension and which will in turn mean an increase in wavelength.

Therefore, an increase in velocity propagation means a longer sinusoidal pattern.

Two positive charges q1 = q2 = 2.0 μC are located at x = 0, y = 0.30 m and x = 0, y = -0.30 m, respectively. Third point charge Q = 4.0 μC is located at x = 0.40 m, y = 0.What is the net force ((a)magnitude and (b)direction) on charge q1 exerted by the other two charges?

Answers

Answer:

 F = 0.111015 N

Explanation:

For this exercise the force is given by Coulomb's law

        F = k q₁q₂ / r₂₁²

we calculate the electric force of the other two particles on the charge q1

Charges q₁ and q₂

the distance between them is

          r₁₂ = y₁ -y₂

          r₁₂ = 0.30 + 0.30

          r₁₂ = 0.60 m

let's calculate

          F₁₂ = 9 10⁹ 2 10⁻⁶ 2 10⁻⁶ / 0.60 2

          F₁₂ = 1 10⁻¹ N

directed towards the positive side of the y-axis

Charges 1 and 3

Let's find the distance using the Pythagorean Theorem

             r₁₃ = RA [(0.40-0) 2 + (0-0.30) 2]

             r₁₃ = 0.50 m

            F₁₃ = 9 10⁹ 2 10⁻⁶ 4 10⁻⁶ / 0.50²

            F₁₃ = 1.697 10⁻² N

The direction of this force is on the line that joins the two charges (1 and 3), let's use trigonometry to find the components of this force

           tan θ = y / x

           θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹ 0.3 / 0.4

           tea = 36.87º

    The angle from the positive side of the x-axis is

         θ ’= 180 - θ

        θ ’= 180 - 36.87

        θ ’= 143.13º

       sin143.13 = F_13y / F₁₃

           F_13y = F₁₃ sin 143.13

           F{13y} = 1.697 10⁻² sin 143.13

           F_13y = 1.0183 10⁻² N

            cos 143.13 = F_13x / F₁₃

           F₁₃ₓ = F₁₃ cos 143.13

           F₁₃ₓ = 1.697 10⁻² cos 143.13

           F₁₃ₓ = -1.357 10-2 N

Now we can find the components of the resultant force

          Fx = F13x + F12x

          Fx = -1,357 10-2 +0

          Fx = -1.357 10-2 N

          Fy = F13y + F12y

         Fy = 1.0183 10-2 + ​​1 10-1

          Fy = 0.110183 N

We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the modulus

         F = Ra (Fx2 + Fy2)

         F = RA [(1.357 10-2) 2 + 0.110183 2]

         F = 0.111015 N

Let's use trigonometry for the angles

         tan tea = Fy / Fx

          tea = tan-1 (0.110183 / -0.01357)

          tea = 1,448 rad

to find the angle about the positive side of the + x axis

           tea '= pi - 1,448

           Tea = 1.6936 rad

The magnitude of the net force on q1 exerted by the other two charges is 0.357 N.

The direction of the net force on q1 is 50⁰.

The given parameters;

q1 = 2.0 μC located at (0, 0.3) mq2 = 2.0 μC located at (0, -0.3) mq3 = 4.0 μC located at (0.4, 0) m

The force on q1 due to q2 occurs only in y-direction and can be calculated using Coulomb's law as shown below;

[tex]F_1_2 = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}j = \frac{(9\times 10^9) \times (2\times 10^{-6})^2 }{(0.3 +0.3)^2} j \\\\\F_{12} = (0.1)j[/tex]

The force on q1 due to q3 occurs both in x-direction and y-direction, and it is calculated as follows;

[tex]distance \ between \ q1 \ and \ q3\ , r_{13} = \sqrt{0.3^2 \ + \ 0.4^2} = 0.5 \ m\\\\F_{13} = \frac{kq^2}{r_{13}^2} (\frac{0.4i}{0.5} \ + \ \frac{0.3j}{0.5} )\\\\F_{13} = \frac{kq^2}{r_{13}^2} (0.8i + 0.6j)\\\\F_{13} = \frac{9\times 10^9 \times (2\times 10^{-6}) \times (4\times 10^{-6})}{0.5^2} (0.8i + 0.6j)\\\\F_{13} = 0.288(0.8i + 0.6j)\\\\F_{13} = 0.23i + 0.173j[/tex]

The net force is calculated as follows;

[tex]F_{net} = F_{12} \ + \ F_{13}\\\\F_{net} = (0.1j) \ + \ (0.23i + 0.173j)\\\\F_{net} = (0.23i + 0.273j)[/tex]

The magnitude of the net force on q1 is calculated as follows;

[tex]|F| = \sqrt{(0.23^2) \ + \ (0.273^2)} \\\\|F| = 0.357 \ N[/tex]

The direction of the net force on q1 is calculated as follows;

[tex]tan(\theta )= \frac{F_y}{F_x} \\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{0.273}{0.23} )\\\\\theta = 50^0[/tex]

An isolated system contains two objects with charges q1q1 and q2q2. If the charge on object 1 is doubled, what is the charge on object 2? g

Answers

Answer:

The new charge on the second object is q₂ - q₁

Explanation:

Given;

charge on the first object,  q₁

charge on the second object, q₂

Since there is no external force on isolated system, the total charge in the system is given by;

Q = q₁ + q₂

q₂ = Q - q₁

When the charge on object 1 is doubled, q₁' = 2q₁

let q₂' be the new charge on object 2

q₂' = Q - q₁'

q₂' = (q₁ + q₂) - 2q₁

q₂' = q₁ + q₂ - 2q₁

q₂' = q₂ - q₁

Therefore, the new charge on the second object is q₂ - q₁

The charge on object 2 will be "q₂ - q₁".

Charge on object:

The charge's quantity on such an item represents the degree of imbalance between its electrons as well as protons.

Just to calculate the overall charge of a positively (+) charged item, divide the total no. of valence electrons by the overall number of protons.

According to the question,

Object 1's charge = q₁

Object 2's charge = q₂

Let,

New charge of object 2 be "q₂'".

 

The total charge in the system will be:

Q = q₁ + q₂

or,

q₂ = Q - q₁

hence,

The charge on object 2 be:

q₂' = Q - q₁'

By substituting the values,

        = (q₁ + q₂) - 2q₁

        = q₁ + q₂ - 2q₁

        = q₂ - q₁                

Thus the answer above is appropriate.
