Find the distance along an arc on the surface of the earth that subtends a central angle of 1 minutes (1 minute = 1/60 degree). The radius of the earth is 3960 miles. Round to the thousandths. (3 decimal places)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.152 miles

Explanation:

Given: central angle = 1 minute = [tex](\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}[/tex]

           radius of the earth = 3960 miles

The length of an arc = [tex]\frac{\alpha }{360^{o} }[/tex] 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

where: [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the central angle, and r is the radius.

Thus,

Distance along the arc = [tex]\frac{\alpha }{360^{o} }[/tex] 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

Distance along the arc = [tex]\frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o} }{360^{o} }[/tex] x 2 x [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x 3960

                                      = [tex]\frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o} }{360^{o} }[/tex] x 24891.4286

                                      = 1.1524

The required distance along an arc is 1.152 miles.

Scott travels north 2 miles and then goes west 5 miles before coming straight back south 7 miles what is his displacement

Answers

Answer:

Displacement is 5√2 miles

Explanation:

From south, Scott travelled 2 miles north and then 5 miles west then he came back south by 7 miles.

I've attached a diagram to indicate Scott's path travelled

Now, displacement is a vector quantity that tells us the overall change in position by Scott i.e distance from his initial position to his current final position while distance is a scalar quantity and tells us how much ground Scott covered in his motion over the entire trip.

Now, from the attached image, the displacement is denoted by "d".

d can be found from pythagoras theorem.

Thus;

d² = 5² + 5²

d = √50

d = 5√2 miles

A. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is mg.

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

C. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is 9.8 N/kg.

D. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is mWx.

Answers

Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

In the absence of a gravitational field, you could determine the mass of an object (of unknown composition) by:
A) applying a known force and measuring it's acceleration.
B) measuring the volume.
C) weighing it.

Answers

Answer:

A) By applying a known force, and measuring it's acceleration.

Explanation:

This is actually something that astronauts do in space as a mathmatical exercise when calculating the mass of an object since F = m × a.

Once the force, and acceleration are applied, the only unknown is the mass which can be solved by dividing force over acceleration. This is because inertial mass is equal to gravitational mass.

Compare the kinetic energy of a 21,000 kg truck moving at 130 km/h with that of an 84.0 kg astronaut in orbit moving at 28,000 km/h.

Answers

Answer:

K.E of the Astronaut is greater

Explanation:

Mathematically;

K.E = 1/2 * m * v^2

For the truck, the kinetic energy will be

1/2 * 21,000 * 130^2 = 177,450,000 J

while for the astronaut, his K.E will be

1/2 * 84 * 28,000^2 = 3.2928 * 10^10

This shows that the K.E of the astronaut is greater

Consider the trajectories of a projectile that experiences drag due to air resistance. Maximum range is achieved by launching the projectile at ________.

a. An angle less than 45 degrees.
b. An angles of 45 degrees.
c. An angle greater than 45 degrees.
d. An angle that depends on the launch speed

Answers

Answer:

Maximum range is achieved by launching the projectile at an  angles of 45 degrees.

so the answer is B

Explanation:

What is the range of a projectile?

this can be defined as the maximum horizontal distance covered by a projectile

R=v^2sin(2θ)/2g

Why is 45 degrees maximum range?

"The sine function reaches its largest output value, 1, with an input angle of 90 degrees, so we can see that for the longest-range puts 2θ = 90 degrees and, therefore, θ = 45 degrees."

Hence a projectile, travels the farthest when it is launched at an angle of 45 degrees

A sharpshooter fires a 0.22 caliber rifle horizontally at 100 m/s at a target 75m away. How far does the
bullet drop by the time it reaches the target?

Answers

This question involves the concept of semi-projectile motion. It can be solved using the equations of motion in the horizontal and the vertical motion.

The bullet drops "2.76 m" by the time it reaches the target.

First, we will analyze the horizontal motion. We assume no air resistance, so the horizontal motion will be uniform. Hence, using the equation of uniform motion here to find the total time to reach the target:

[tex]s = vt\\\\t = \frac{s}{v}[/tex]

where,

s = distance = 75 m

v = velocity = 100 m/s

t = time = ?

Therefore,

[tex]t = \frac{75\ m}{100\ m/s}[/tex]

t = 0.75 s

Now, we will analyze the vertical motion of the bullet. We will use the second equation of motion in the vertical direction to find the height dropped by the bullet.

[tex]h = v_it+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

where,  

h = height dropped = ?  

vi = initial vertical speed = 0 m/s

t = time interval = 0.75 s  

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

therefore,

[tex]h = (0\ m/s)(0.75\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(0.75\ s)^2[/tex]

h = 2.76 m

A significant figure is one that is measured rather than “guessed”. If you say that length is “approximately” 100m, then that is only 1 significant figure. If you measure accurately 100m for a race than that is 3 significant figures. If you are given the number 100 without comment, it could be 1,2 or 3 significant figures! The number 1.01 has 3 significant figures. The number 0.001 has only 1 significant figure. I hope this helps.

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. The other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. Using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the Lagrangian and use the Lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. Explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.

Answers

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = [tex]\frac{g}{7}[/tex]

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = [tex]\frac{4m}{2} x^2 + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2[/tex]

T = [tex]4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy[/tex]  

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = [tex]-4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant[/tex]

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

[tex]L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant[/tex]

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange  equation = [tex]4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0[/tex]

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = [tex]\frac{g}{7}[/tex]

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

A lamp of mass m hangs from a spring scale which is attached to the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is stopped at the fortieth floor, the scale reads mg. What does it read as the elevator slows down to stop at the ground floor?

a. more than mg
b. mg
c. less than mg
d. zero
e. can't tell

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is (a)

Explanation:

A spring scale measures the weight of an object not the mass because according to hooke's law the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load or force attached/applied to it. The force of gravity acting on the mass of any substance as it goes up actually reduces and increases as it comes down.

If F = ma, as a increases, F will also increase and vice versa

Where F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration (due to gravity in this case)

From the above explanation, it can be deduced that the scale will read more than mg as it gets to the ground because of an increase in the force of gravity (which also increases a) as it approaches the ground.

Charged objects could be used to attract light objects such as hair. In the 1700s, it was determined that charge came in two varieties that could cancel each other out. Charles-Augustin de Coulomb established a quantitativerelation in 1783 that describes how charged objects interact via the electric force. The electric force:

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In 1785, Coulomb investigated quantitatively, the force exerted between point charges.

The Coulomb's Law states that: "The force of attraction or repulsion between two, point charges is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. "

If q₁ and q₂ are two, point charges and r is the distance between them, then the electric force of attraction or repulsion F between them, according to Coulomb’s law will be:

F ∝ q₁q₂ ________________________ eqn (1)

F ∝ 1/r²  ________________________ eqn (2)

Combining eqn (1) and eqn (2), we get:

F ∝ (q₁ q₂)/r²  

F = (kq₁q₂)/r²  

where,

k = constant of proportionality = 9 x 10⁹ N.m² / C²

A force of 41 N acts on an object which has a mass of 2.4 kg. What acceleration (in m/s2) is produced by the force

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration is [tex] a =  17.083 \ m/s^2 [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The force is [tex]F =  41 \  N[/tex]

     The mass of the object is [tex]m  =  2.4 \  kg[/tex]

Generally the force is mathematically represented as

        [tex]F  =  m*  a[/tex]

=>      [tex] 41  = 2.4*  a[/tex]

=>      [tex] a =  17.083 \ m/s^2 [/tex]

The velocity of a body travelling in a circular path can be measured with an uncertainty estimated at 4%. The Radius R of the circular path can be measured within 2%. What is the uncertainty associated with the determination of normal acceleration, a, from a = v^2/R Would it make much difference if the radius could be measured within 1%?

Answers

Answer:

a) uncertainty percentage = 10%

b) if R could be measured within 1%, uncertainty percentage is 9%,

it wouldn't make much difference

Explanation:

Given that;

velocity v = 4%

radius R = 2%

using calculation on errors / uncertainties in mumber,

To find error/uncertainty in aₙ

aₙ = V² / R

= V₂ × 1/R

V × V × 1/R

let U + V be x and relative error ΔV/V = 4% = 0.04

also, let R be Y and error (relative) ΔR/R = 2% = 0.02

so aₙ = V²/R = x² / y --------------------- let this be equ 1

Δaₙ/aₙ = ΔV/V + ΔR/R + ΔV/V             {V×V×1/R}

Δaₙ/aₙ  = 0.4 + 0.02 + 0.4

Δaₙ/aₙ  = 0.1

so 0.1 × 100 = 10%

therefore uncertainty percentage = 10%

if R could be measured within 1%

Δaₙ/aₙ = (0.04 × 2) + 0.01

= 0.08 + 0.01

= 0.09

so 0.09 × 100

= 9%

therefore if R could be measured within 1%, uncertainty percentage is 9%,

it wouldn't make much difference
