Suppose a 118kg watermelon is held 5m above the ground before sliding along a frictionless ramp to the ground. How high above the ground is the watermelon at the moment it's kinetic energy is 4,610J
This question involves the concepts of kinetic energy, potential energy, and the law of conservation of energy.
The watermelon is "1.02 m" above the ground.
The total energy of the watermelon can be found by its potential energy at the highest point:
Total Energy = mgh
where,
m = mass = 118 kgg = 9.81 m/s²h = height = 5 mTherefore,
Total Energy = (118 kg)(9.81 m/s²)(5 m)
Total Energy = 5787.9 J
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGYNow, according to the law of conservation of energy, at the given point:
Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
5787.9 J = 4610 J + mgh'
[tex]h'=\frac{5787.9\ J-4610\ J}{(118\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)}[/tex]
h' = 1.02 m

Two creatures sit on a horizontal frictional rotating platform. The platform rotates at a constant speed. The creatures do not slip off as it rotates.
ASSUME:
Red has a mass of 5 kg
Red is 1.5 m from the center
Red has a speed of 9 m/s
Blue has a mass of 25 kg
Blue has a speed of 1.8 m/s
The force of friction on Red is EQUAL to the force of friction on Blue
DETERMINE:
How far from the center is Blue
Answer:
M v^2 / R = centripetal force
For Red: M v^2 / R = 5 * 9^2 / 1.5 = 270
For Blue M v^2 / R = 270 = 25 * 1.8^2 / Rb
So Rb = 25 * 1.8^2 / 270 = .3 m
Suppose that you make a series RC circuit with a capacitor and a known resistor that has a 5% tolerance: R= 5.20 ± 0.26kΩ. You plan is to measure the time constant of the circuit in order to determine the value of the capacitor. You do ten trials of your experiment and measure the time constant each time, and then you calculate the average and standard error of the ten results to determine that τ= 2.150 ± 0.002s.
Which of the following is the best estimate of the uncertainty on your determination of the value of your capacitor?
a. 1%
b. 0.1%
c. 5%
Answer:
correct answer is C
Explanation:
The time constant of an RC circuit is
τ = RC
so to find the capacitance
C = τ/ R
C = 2.150 / 5.20 10³
C = 4.13 10⁻⁴ F
to find the error we use the worst case
ΔC = | [tex]|\frac{dC}{d \tau }| \ \Delta \tau + | \frac{dC}{dR} | \ \Delta R[/tex]
the absolute value guarantees that we find the worst case, we evaluate the derivatives
ΔC = 1 /R Δτ + τ/R² ΔR
the absolute values of the errors are
Δτ = 0.002 s
ΔR = 0.3 kΩ
we substitute
ΔC = 0.002 /5.20 10³ + 2.150/(5.20 10³)² 0.3 10³
ΔC = 3.8 10⁻⁷ + 1.74 10⁻⁵
ΔC = 1.77 10⁻⁵ F
the uncertainty or error must be expressed with a significant figure
ΔC = 2 10⁻⁵ F
the percentage error is
Er% =[tex]\frac{\Delta C}{C} \ 100[/tex]
Er% = [tex]\frac{2 \ 10^{-5} }{ 4.13 \ 10^{-4} } \ 100[/tex]
Er% = 4.8%
the correct answer is C
In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright fringe on a flat screen is 0.0176 m, when the light has a wavelength of 425 nm. Assume that the angles are small enough so that is approximately equal to . Find the separation y when the light has a wavelength of 614 nm.
Answer:
Y = 0.0254 m = 25.4 mm
Explanation:
The formula for the fringe spacing in Young's Double-slit experiment is given by the following formula:
[tex]Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}[/tex]
where,
Y = fringe spacing = 0.0176 m
λ = wavelength = 425 nm = 4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m
L = Distance between screen and slits
d = slit separation
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{0.0176\ m}{4.25\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m} = \frac{L}{d}\\\\\frac{L}{d} = 41411.76[/tex]
Now, for:
λ = 614 nm = 6.14 x 10⁻⁷ m
[tex]Y = (6.14\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(41411.76)\\[/tex]
Y = 0.0254 m = 25.4 mm
What is the centripetal force for a roller coaster if the mass is 10 kg and the normal force is 25 N?
Answer:

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle capable of delivering a net work output of 400 kJ for an energy input by heat transfer of 1200 kJ. The system undergoing the cycle receives heat from a source of 550K and rejects heat to a sink of 350K. Determine if this is a valid claim.
Answer: Valid claim
Explanation:
Given
Work output is [tex]W=400\ kJ[/tex]
Work input is [tex]Q=1200\ kJ[/tex]
The temperature of the source [tex]T_h=550\ K[/tex]
The temperature of the sink is [tex]T_l=350\ K[/tex]
Efficiency is given by
[tex]\eta =\dfrac{\text{W}}{\text{Q}}\times 100[/tex]
Insert the values
[tex]\Rightarrow \eta=\dfrac{400}{1200}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow \eta=\dfrac{100}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow \eta=33.3\%[/tex]
For ideal cycle it is
[tex]\Rightarrow \eta=\dfrac{T_h-T_l}{T_l}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow \eta=\dfrac{550-350}{550}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow \eta=36.36\%[/tex]
The efficiency of the cycle is less than the ideal situation, therefore, it is valid claim.

500m/250s= 2m/s
The average speed of tina will be 2m/s.
We have Tina who went for a walk.
We have to determine her average speed.
What is Average Speed ?Average speed is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.
v(avg) = Δx/Δt
According to the question -
Total Distance covered = d = 500 m
Total time taken = t = 250 s
Average speed = 500/250 = 2 m/s
Hence, the average speed of tina will be 2m/s.

Learning Goal: To understand the concept of moment of inertia and how it depends on mass, radius, and mass distribution.
In rigid-body rotational dynamics, the role analogous to the mass of a body (when one is considering translational motion) is played by the body's moment of inertia. For this reason, conceptual understanding of the motion of a rigid body requires some understanding of moments of inertia. This problem should help you develop such an understanding.
The moment of inertia of a body about some specified axis is I = cmr^2, where c is a dimensionless constant, m is the mass of the body, and r is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation. Therefore, if you have two similarly shaped objects of the same size but with one twice as massive as the other, the more massive object should have a moment of inertia twice that of the less massive one. Furthermore, if you have two similarly shaped objects of the same mass, but one has twice the size of the other, the larger object should have a moment of inertia that is four times that of the smaller one.
Two spherical shells have their mass uniformly distrubuted over the spherical surface. One of the shells has a diameter of 2 meters and a mass of 1 kilogram. The other shell has a diameter of 1 meter. What must the mass m of the 1-meter shell be for both shells to have the same moment of inertia about their centers of mass?
Answer:
m₂ = 4 kg
Explanation:
The moment of inertia is defined by
I = ∫ r² dm
for bodies with high symmetry it is tabulated, for a spherical shell
I = 2/3 m r²
in this case the first sphere has a radius of r₁ = 2m and a mass of m₁ = 1 kg, the second sphere has a radius r₂ = 1m.
They ask what is the masses of the second spherical shell so that the moment of inertia of the two is the same.
I₁ = ⅔ m₁ r₁²
I₂ = ⅔ m₂ r₂²
They ask that the two moments have been equal
I₁ = I₂
⅔ m₁ r₁² = ⅔ m₂ r₂²
m₂ = (r₁ / r₂) ² m₁
let's calculate
m₂ = (2/1) ² 1
m₂ = 4 kg

A film of oil lies on wet pavement. The refractive index of the oil exceeds that of the water. The film has the minimum nonzero thickness such that it appears dark due to destructive interference when viewed in visible light with wavelength 678 nm in vacuum. Assuming that the visible spectrum extends from 380 to 750 nm, what is the longest visible wavelength (in vacuum) for which the film will appear bright due to constructive interference
Answer:
Explanation:
For destructive interference , the condition is
2μt = nλ
2μt = n x 678
For constructive interference , the condition is
2μt = (2n+1)λ₁ /2
n x 678 = (2n+1)λ₁ /2
λ₁ = 1356 n / ( 2n + 1 )
λ₁ = 1356 / ( 2 + 1/n )
For longest wavelength , denominator should be smallest or n should be largest . The longest value of n is infinity so
λ₁ = 1356 / 2
= 678 nm .
