You are out and about in the country and your father sees a rock that he really wants in the yard. Now you must get the very heavy rock into the back of a truck. The truck bed is 3 feet off the ground. Your father pulls out a 5-foot plank and begins to set up a ramp. At the same time, you have found a plank that is 8 feet long, and you show it to your father.

What happens to a copper wire when it is moved across a magnetic field?

A. Voltage and electric current are induced
B. It’s attracted to the positive pole of magnetic field
C. Electric current is induced, but not voltage.
D. It’s attracted to negative pole of magnetic field

Answers

Answer:

it is attracted to negative pole

A copper wire will get attracted to negative pole of magnetic field when it

is moved across it

The copper wire has free electrons in it which when moved across the

magnetic field will result in the movement of the electrons to the negative

pole of the magnetic field.

This is because unlike poles attract and like poles repel. Copper is a metal

and positively charged and so it gets attracted to the negative pole during

electron flow.

An object starts from rest at the origin and moves along the x axis with a constant

acceleration of 4 m/s

2

. Its average velocity as it goes from x = 2 m to x = 8 m is:​

Answers

Answer:

6.9m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration of the object  = 4m/s²

Distance = from x; 2m to x; 8m

Unknown:

Average velocity  = ?

Solution:

From the given parameters, we use the right motion equation to solve the problem.

   v² = u² + 2aS

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

 S is the distance covered

 Distance  = 8m - 2m  = 6m

 Initial velocity  = 0m/s

The final velocity gives us the average velocity in this problem;

       v² = 0² + (2 x 4 x 6) = 48

      v = √48  = 6.9m/s

A massive tractor is rolling down a country road. In a perfectly inelastic collision, a small sports car runs into the machine from behind. (i) Which vehicle experience a change in momentum of larger magnitude? (a) The car does. (b) The tractor does. (c) Their momentum changes are the same size. (d) It could be either vehicle. (ii) Which vehicle experiences a larger change in kinetic energy? (a) The car does. (b) The tractor does. (c) Their kinetic energy changes are the same size. (d) It could be either vehicle.

Answers

Explanation:

In an inelastic collision, the momentum remains conserved while the kinetic energy is not conserved.

(i) Here, a small sports car runs into the machine from behind.

Due to the conservation of momentum, it remains conserved. It means their momentum changes are the same size.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

(ii) The car is moving faster than the tractor. A faster moving object will lose more energy as compared to the other. It means car's most of the energy is converted to internal energy. The car will have a a larger change in kinetic energy. Hence, the correct option is (a).

as an object falls:
a) both velocity and acceleration increase
b) velocity increases and acceleration decreases
c) velocity increases and acceleration is unchanged

Answers

Answer:

c it is not accelerating on it's on but gravity pulls it there for velocity increases.

As an object falls, velocity increases and acceleration is unchanged. Therefore, option C is correct.

What do you mean by velocity ?

The term velocity is defined as the direction of the movement of the body or the object.

Speed is fundamentally a scalar quantity. Velocity is, in essence, a vector quantity. It is the rate at which distance changes. It is the displacement rate of change.

The velocity of something is the rate at which it moves in a specific direction. For example, the speed of a car driving north on a highway or the speed of a rocket after launch. The scalar denotes that the absolute magnitude of the velocity vector is always the speed of motion.

Thus, it is not accelerating on it's on, but gravity pulls it there as velocity increases.

Consider two samples of gas. Sample A consists of n moles and is kept at temperature T in container of volume V. Gas B consists of 2n moles, and is kept under the temperature T/2 in a container of volume V/2. What is the pressure of gas B in terms of pressure of gas A, P?

a. 2P
b. 4P
c. 8P
d. P
e. P/2
f. P/4
g. P/8

Answers

Answer: e. P/2

Explanation:

For ideal gases, we have the relation:

P*V = n*R*T

where:

n =  number of mols

R = Gas constant

T = temperature

V = volume

P = pressure.

We know that for sample A, we have n moles, a temperature T and a volume V, then the pressure of this sample will be:

Pa = (n*R*T)/V.

For sample B, we have:

n/2 moles, temperature T/2 and a volume V/2, then the pressure will be:

Pb = (n/2)*R*(T/2)*(2/V) = (n*R*T/V)*(2/4)

and:

(n*R*T/V) = Pa

Then we can replace it and we get:

Pb = (n*R*T/V)*(2/4) = Pa*(2/4) = Pa*(1/2) = Pa/2.

Then the correct option is e.

G = Universal Gravitational  Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

R = Radius of Earth = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

Ve = √[2(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/(6.37 x 10⁶ m)]

Ve = 11.2 x 10³ m/s = 11.2 km/s

Hence, the ratio will be:

V/Ve = (12.3 km/s)/(11.2 km/s)

V/Ve = 1.1

What is the change in momentum of a 4 kg object accelerating from 10 m/s to 12 m/s? In this problem what is the change in velocity

Answers

Answer:

8 kg*m/s and 2m/s

Explanation:

momentum is mass times velocity. since the velocity changes by 2 m/s. you just take the difference from final velocity to beginning velocity.

4kg*12m/s = 48 kg*m/s

4kg*10m/s = 40 kg*m/s

48kg*m/s - 40 kg*m/s = 8kg*m/s

A 2.93 kg particle has a velocity of (2.98 i hat - 3.98 j) m/s.

Required:
a. Find its x and y components of momentum.
b. Find the magnitude and direction of its momentum.

Answers

Answer:

a) The x and y components of the momentum are [tex]8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex], respectively.

b) The magnitude and direction of its momentum are approximately 14.567 kilogram-meters per second and 306.823º.

Explanation:

a) The vectorial equation of momentum is represented by the following expression:

[tex]\vec p = m\cdot \vec v[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]\vec p[/tex] - Vector momentum, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the particle, measured in kilograms.

[tex]\vec v[/tex] - Vector velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that [tex]m = 2.93\,kg[/tex] and [tex]\vec v = 2.98\,\hat{i}-3.98\,\hat{j}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right][/tex], then the momentum is:

[tex]\vec p = (2.93)\cdot (2.98\,\hat{i}-3.98\,\hat{j})\,\,\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right][/tex]

[tex]\vec p = 8.731\,\hat{i}-11.661\,\hat{j}\,\,\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right][/tex]

The x and y components of the momentum are [tex]8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex], respectively.

b) The magnitude and direction of momentum are represented by the following expressions:

[tex]\|\vec p \| = \sqrt{p_{x}^{2}+p_{y}^{2}}[/tex] (2)

[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{p_{y}}{p_{x}} \right)[/tex] (3)

Where:

[tex]\|\vec p\|[/tex] - Magnitude of momentum, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

[tex]\theta[/tex] - Direction of momentum, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that [tex]p_{x} = 8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]p_{y} = -11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex], then the magnitude and direction of momentum are, respectively:

[tex]\|\vec p\| = \sqrt{\left(8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\|\vec p\| \approx 14.567\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex]

[tex]\theta =\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} }{8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} } \right)[/tex]

[tex]\theta \approx 306.823^{\circ}[/tex]

The magnitude and direction of its momentum are approximately 14.567 kilogram-meters per second and 306.823º.
