A car starts from Hither, goes 50 km in a straight line to Yon, immediately turns around, and returns to Hither. The time for this round trip is 2 hours. The magnitude of the average velocity of the car for this round trip is:
A. 0
B. 50 km/hr
C. 100 km/hr
D. 200 km/hr
E. cannot be calculated without knowing the acceleration
Answer:
The average velocity for this trip is 0 km/hr
Explanation:
We know that average velocity = total displacement/total time.
Now, its displacement is d = final position - initial position.
Since the car starts and ends at its initial position at Hither, if we assume its initial position is 0 km, then its final position is also 0 km.
So, its displacement is d = 0 km - 0 km = 0 km.
Since the total time for the round trip is 2 hours, the average velocity is
total displacement/ total time = 0 km/2 hr = 0 km/hr.
So the average velocity for this trip is 0 km/hr

Answer:
a) 2.278 x 10^-5 volts
b) 1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere
c) 2.59 x 10^-11 W
Explanation:
The radius of the wire r = 2 mm = 0.002 m
the number of turns N = 200 turns
direction of the magnetic field ∅ = 25°
magnetic field strength B = 0.02 T
varying time = 2 sec
The cross sectional area of the wire = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
==> A = 3.142 x [tex]0.002^{2}[/tex] = 1.257 x 10^-5 m^2
Field flux Φ = BA cos ∅ = 0.02 x 1.257 x 10^-5 x cos 25°
==> Φ = 2.278 x 10^-7 Wb
The induced EMF is given as
E = NdΦ/dt
where dΦ/dt = (2.278 x 10^-7)/2 = 1.139 x 10^-7
E = 200 x 1.139 x 10^-7 = 2.278 x 10^-5 volts
b) If the two ends are connected to a resistor of 20 Ω, the current through the resistor is given as
[tex]I[/tex] = E/R
where R is the resistor
[tex]I[/tex] = (2.278 x 10^-5)/20 = 1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere
c) power delivered to the resistor is given as
P = [tex]I[/tex]E
P = (1.139 x 10^-6) x (2.278 x 10^-5) = 2.59 x 10^-11 W

Two metal sphere each of radius 2.0 cm, have a center-to-center separation of 3.30 m. Sphere 1 has a chrage of +1.10 10^-8 C. Sphere 2 has charge of -3.60 10^-8C. Assume that the separation is large enough for us to assume that the charge on each sphere iss uniformly distribuuted.
A) Calculate the potential at the point halfway between the centers.
B) Calculate the potential on the surface of sphere 1.
C) Calculate the potential on the surface of sphere 2.
Answer:
A) V = -136.36 V , B) V = 4.85 10³ V , C) V = 1.62 10⁴ V
Explanation:
To calculate the potential at an external point of the spheres we use Gauss's law that the charge can be considered at the center of the sphere, therefore the potential for an external point is
V = k ∑ [tex]q_{i} / r_{i}[/tex]
where [tex]q_{i}[/tex] and [tex]r_{i}[/tex] are the loads and the point distances.
A) We apply this equation to our case
V = k (q₁ / r₁ + q₂ / r₂)
They ask us for the potential at the midpoint of separation
r = 3.30 / 2 = 1.65 m
this distance is much greater than the radius of the spheres
let's calculate
V = 9 10⁹ (1.1 10⁻⁸ / 1.65 + (-3.6 10⁻⁸) / 1.65)
V = 9 10¹ / 1.65 (1.10 - 3.60)
V = -136.36 V
B) The potential at the surface sphere A
r₂ is the distance of sphere B above the surface of sphere A
r₂ = 3.30 -0.02 = 3.28 m
r₁ = 0.02 m
we calculate
V = 9 10⁹ (1.1 10⁻⁸ / 0.02 - 3.6 10⁻⁸ / 3.28)
V = 9 10¹ (55 - 1,098)
V = 4.85 10³ V
C) The potential on the surface of sphere B
r₂ = 0.02 m
r₁ = 3.3 -0.02 = 3.28 m
V = 9 10⁹ (1.10 10⁻⁸ / 3.28 - 3.6 10⁻⁸ / 0.02)
V = 9 10¹ (0.335 - 180)
V = 1.62 10⁴ V
Zack is driving past his house. He wants to toss his physics book out the window and have it land in his driveway. If he lets go of the book exactly as he passes the end of the driveway. Should he direct his throw outward and toward the front of the car (throw 1), straight outward (throw 2), or outward and toward the back of the car (throw 3)? Explain.
Answer:
Zack should direct his throw outward and toward the back of the car.
Explanation:
As the car is moving forward, the book will be thrown with a forward component. Therefore, throwing this book backwards at a constant speed would cancel the motion of the car, allowing the book to have a greater chance of ending on the driveway. I say a greater chance as Zack may not have the exact timings as to land the book in his driveway. That too he may not have thrown the book with the right momentum.
The solution is throw 3.
I say a greater chance as Zack may not have the exact timings as to land the book in his driveway. That too he may not have thrown the book with the right momentum as the skydivers.
Which statement best applies Newton’s laws of motion?The statement that best applies Newton’s laws of motion to explain the skydiver’s motion is that an upward force balances the downward force of gravity on the skydiver. Newton's 3rd law often applies to skydiving.
When gravity is not acting upon the skydivers they would continue moving in the direction the vehicle they jumped from was moving. If no air resistance takes place, then the skydivers would still accelerating at 9.8 m/s until they hit the ground.
The skydiver after leaving the aircraft will accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity usually as there is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards, the skydiver will accelerates towards the ground.
Therefore, I say a greater chance as Zack may not have the exact timings as to land the book in his driveway. That too he may not have thrown the book with the right momentum as the skydivers.

The current in a series circuit is 15.0 A. When an additional 8.00-% resistor is inserted in series, the current drops to 12.0 A. What is the resistance in the original circuit
Answer:
The resistance of the original circuit is [tex]32\,\,\Omega[/tex]
Explanation:
In the original circuit, we have an unknown resistor that we call R, an unknown power supply that we call V, and the current is 15 Amps. in the second circuit with an added 8 Ω resistor in series, which gives an equivalent resistance of R+8 Ω, using the same power supply V, the current is 12 Amps. SO, we can write a system of two equations with two unknowns as follows:
[tex]V=R\,(15)\\V=(R+8)\,(12)\\then\\15\,R=12\,R+92\\3\,R=96\\R=\frac{96}{3} \,\Omega\\R=32\,\,\Omega[/tex]
As a wheel turns, the angle through which it has turned varies with time as β(t)=Ct + Bt3 where C=0.400rad/s and B=0.0120rad/s3. Calculate the angular velocity w(t) as a function of time.
Answer:
ω(t) = 0.4 + 0.036 t²
Explanation:
The angular displacement of the disk is given as the function of time:
β(t) = Ct + B t³
where,
C = 0.4 rad/s
B = 0.012 rad/s³
Therefore,
β(t) = 0.4 t + 0.012 t³
Now, for angular velocity ω(t), we must take derivative of angular displacement with respect to t:
ω(t) = dβ/dt = (d/dt)(0.4 t + 0.012 t³)
ω(t) = 0.4 + 0.036 t²
A cube of metal has a mass of 11 grams and a volume of 1 cm . When fully submerged in water this metal cube hanging from an accurate spring scale will weigh what amount?
Answer:
0.098 N
Explanation:
From the question,
Spring scale reading = W-U............... Equation 1
Where W = weight of the cube, U = upthrust.
W = mg
Where m = mass of the cube, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: m = 11 g = 0.011 kg, g = 9.8 m/s².
W = 0.011(9.8)
W = 0.1078 N.
From Archimedes principle,
Upthrust = weight of water displaced.
U = (Density of water×volume of metal cube)×acceleration due to gravity.
U = (D×V)g
Given: D = 1000 kg/m², V = 1 cm³ = (1/1000000) = 1×10⁻⁶ m³, g - 9.8 m/s²
U = 1000(9.8)(10⁻⁶)
U = 0.0098 N.
Substitute the value of W and U into equation 1
Reading of the spring scale = 0.1078-0.0098
Reading of the spring scale = 0.098 N
The focal length of the lens of a simple digital camera is 40 mm, and it is originally focused on a person 25 m away. In what direction must the lens be moved to change the focus of the camera to a person 4.0 m away
Answer:
Explanation:
Here image distance is fixed .
In the first case if v be image distance
1 / v - 1 / -25 = 1 / .05
1 / v = 1 / .05 - 1 / 25
= 20 - .04 = 19.96
v = .0501 m = 5.01 cm
In the second case
u = 4 ,
1 / v - 1 / - 4 = 1 / .05
1 / v = 20 - 1 / 4 = 19.75
v = .0506 = 5.06 cm
So lens must be moved forward by 5.06 - 5.01 = .05 cm ( away from film )
lock of mass m2 is attached to a spring of force constant k and m1 . m2. If the system is released from rest, and the spring is initially not stretched or com- pressed, find an expres- sion for the maximum displacement d of m2
Answer:
The maximum displacement of the mass m₂ [tex]= \frac{2(m_1-m_2)g}{k}[/tex]
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy (K) = 1/2mv²
Potential Energy (P) = mgh
Law of Conservation of energy states that total energy of the system remains constant.
i.e; Total energy before collision = Total energy after collision
This implies that: the gravitational potential energy lost by m₁ must be equal to sum of gravitational energy gained by m₂ and the elastic potential energy stored in the spring.
[tex]m_1gd = m_2gd+\frac{1}{2}kd^2\\\\m_1g = m_2g+\frac{1}{2}kd\\\\d = \frac{2(m_1-m_2)g}{k}[/tex]
d = maximum displacement of the mass m₂
In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants
Answer:
The fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is
[tex]k = 0.903[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time constant [tex]\tau = 3[/tex]
The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as
[tex]V = V_o (1 - e^{- \tau})[/tex]
Where [tex]V_o[/tex] is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged
So at [tex]\tau = 3[/tex]
[tex]V = V_o (1 - e^{- 3})[/tex]
[tex]V = 0.950213 V_o[/tex]
Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = \frac{1}{2 } * C * V ^2[/tex]
In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor
Now since capacitance is constant at [tex]\tau = 3[/tex]
The energy stored can be evaluated at as
[tex]V^2 = (0.950213 V_o )^2[/tex]
[tex]V^2 = 0.903 V_o ^2[/tex]
Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is
[tex]k = 0.903[/tex]
Fiber optics are an important part of our modern internet. In these fibers, two different glasses are used to confine the light by total internal reflection at the critical angle for the interface between the core (ncore = 1.482 ) and the cladding (ncladding = 1.44).
Suppose you wanted the largest angle at which total internal reflection occurred to be θmax = 5 degrees. What index of refraction does the cladding need if the core is unchanged?
Answer:
n_cladding = 1.4764
Explanation:
We are told that θ_max = 5 °
Thus;
θ_max + θ_c = 90°
θ_c = 90° - θ_max
θ_c = 90° - 5°
θ_c = 85°
Now, critical angle is given by;
θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)
sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)
n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85
n_cladding = 1.4764

Answer:
a) a = 17.1 m / s², b) F = 3.04 N
Explanation:
This is an exercise of Newton's second law, in this case the selection of the reference system is very important, we have two possibilities
* a reference system with the horizontal x axis, for this selection the normal and the friction force have x and y components
* a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane, in this case the weight and the applied force have x and y components
We are going to select the second possibility, since it is the most used in inclined plane problems, let's analyze the angle of the applied force (F) it has an angle 10º with respect to the x axis, if we rotate this axis 30º the new angle is
θ = 10 -30 = -20º
The negative sign indicates that it is in the fourth quadrant. Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the applied force
sin (-20) = F_{y} / F
cos (-20) = Fₓ / F
F_{y} = F sin (-20)
Fₓ = F cos (-20)
F_y = 18 sin (-20) = -6.16 N
Fₓ = 18 cos (-20) = 16.9 N
The decomposition of the weight is the customary
sin 30 = Wₓ / W
cos 30 = W_y / W
Wₓ = W sin 30 = mg sin 30
W_y = W cos 30 = m g cos 30
Wₓ = 0.8 9.8 sin 30 = 3.92 N
W_y = 0.8 9.8 cos 30 = 6.79 N
Notice that in the case the angle is measured with respect to the axis y perpendicular to the plane
Now we can write Newton's second law for each axis
X axis
Fₓ - fr = m a
Y Axis
N - [tex]F_{y}[/tex] - Wy = 0
N =F_{y} + Wy
N = 6.16 + 6.79
They both go to the negative side of the axis and
N = 12.95 N
The friction force has the formula
fr = μ N
we substitute
Fₓ - μ N = m a
a = (Fₓ - μ N) / m
we calculate
a = (16.9 - 0.25 12.95) / 0.8
a = 17.1 m / s²
b) now the block slides down with constant speed, therefore the acceleration is zero
ask for the value of the applied force, we will suppose that with the same angle, that is, only its modulus was reduced
Newton's law for the x axis
Fₓ -fr = 0
Fₓ = fr
F cos 20 = μ N
F = μ N / cos 20
we calculate
F = 0.25 12.95 / cos 20
F = 3.04 N
this is the force applied at an angle of 10º to the horizontal

Answer:
The critical angle is [tex]\theta_c = \ 63.68^o[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The refractive index of the core is [tex]n_c = 1.35[/tex]
The refractive index of the cladding is [tex]n_s = 1.21[/tex]
Generally according to Snell's law
[tex]\frac{sin i }{sin r } = \frac{n_s}{n_c }[/tex]

where;
μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷
I is the current in the bolt
r is the distance of the magnetic field from the bolt
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r} \\\\B = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7} 10000}{2\pi *24} \\\\B = 8.333 *10^{-5} \ T[/tex]
Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 8.333 x 10⁻⁷ T

[tex]Xcm = \frac{m1x1 + m2x2 + m3x3}{m1 + m2 + m3} \\\\ 22.5 = \frac{m1\times 50 + 3.62 \times 20.3 + 3.62 \times 20.3}{m1 + 3.62 + 3.62}\\\\ 22.5m1 + 162.9 = 50m1 + 73.486 + 73.486[/tex]
27.5 m1 = 15.928
So, the m1 = 0.5792g
When separated by distance d, identically charged point-like objects A and B exert a force of magnitude F on each other. If you reduce the charge of A to one-half its original value, and the charge of B to one-tenth, and reduce the distance between the objects by half, what will be the new force that they exert on each other in terms of force F
Answer:
F = F₀ 0.2
Explanation:
For this exercise we apply Coulomb's law with the initial data
F₀ = k q_A q_B / d²
indicate several changes
q_A ’= ½ q_A
q_B ’= 1/10 q_B
d ’= ½ d
let's substitute these new values in the Coulomb equation
F = k q_A ’q_B’ / d’²
F = k ½ q_A 1/10 q_B / (1/2 d)²
F = (k q_A q_B / d2) ½ 1/10 2²
F = F₀ 0.2
Two identical wooden barrels are fitted with long pipes extending out their tops. The pipe on the first barrel is 1 foot in diameter, and the pipe on the second barrel is only 1/2 inch in diameter. When the larger pipe is filled with water to a height of 20 feet, the barrel bursts. To burst the second barrel, will water have to be added to a height less than, equal to, or greater than 20 feet? Explain.
Answer:
The 1/2 inch barrel will burst at the same height of 20 ft
Explanation:
The pressure on a column of fluid increases with depth, and decreases with height. This means that if you increase the height of the fluid in the column, the pressure at the bottom will increase.
From the equation of fluid pressure,
P = ρgh
where
P is the pressure at the bottom of the fluid due to its height
ρ is the density of the fluid in question
h is the height to which the water stand.
You notice how apart from the height 'h' in the equation, all the other parts of the right hand side of the equation cannot be varied; they are a fixed property of the fluid and gravity. And there is no consideration for the horizontal diameter of the water's cross section area.
We can also think of the pressure at the bottom of the fluid to be as a result of an incremental weight of an infinitesimally small vertical section of the water down.
That been said, we can then say that if the barrel with the 1 ft diameter dimension bursts when filled with water up to 20 ft, then, the barrel with the reduced diameter will still burst at the same height as the former pipe.
NB: The only way to stop the pipe from bursting is to increase the thickness of the barrel wall to counteract the pressure forces due to the height.
A turntable A is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. It is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk B starts to slide on the turntable 15 s after the turntable begins to rotate. Knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.3 m/s^2 , determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable
Answer:
μ = 0.03
Explanation:
In order for the trunk not to slide the frictional force between the turntable and the trunk must be equal to the unbalanced force applied on the trunk by the motion of the turntable. Therefore,
Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force
but,
Unbalanced Force = ma (Newton's second law of motion)
Frictional Force = μN = μW = μmg
Therefore,
ma = μmg
a = μg
μ = a/g
where,
μ = coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable = ?
a = tangential acceleration of trunk = 0.3 m/s²
g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
μ = (0.3 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)
μ = 0.03
Unpolarized light is incident upon two ideal polarizing filters that do not have their transmission axes aligned. If of the light passes through this combination, what is the angle between the transmission axes of the two filters
Answer:
The angle between the transmission axes of the filters is 65°
Explanation:
The complete question is
Unpolarized light is incident upon two ideal polarizing filters that do not have their transmission axes aligned. If 18% of the light passes through this combination, what is the angle between the transmission axes of the two filters.
From Malus law,
[tex]I = I_{0} cos^{2} \beta[/tex] ....1
where [tex]I[/tex] is the intensity of the polarized light,
[tex]I_{o}[/tex] is the intensity of the incident light
β the angle between the transmission axes of the two filters
Since the intensity is reduced to 18% or 0.18 of its initial value, this means that
[tex]cos^{2} \beta[/tex] = 0.18
substituting into the equation above, we have
[tex]I = 0.18I_{0}[/tex] ....2
equating the two equations, we have
[tex]I_{0}cos^{2} \beta[/tex] = [tex]0.18I_{0}[/tex]
[tex]cos^{2}\beta[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.81I_{0} }{I_{0} }[/tex] = 0.18
[tex]cos \beta[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{0.18}[/tex] = 0.424
[tex]\beta[/tex] = [tex]cos^{-1} 0.424[/tex] = 64.9 ≅ 65°
The operator of a space station observes a space vehicle approaching at a constant speed v. The operator sends a light signal at speed c toward the space vehicle. What is the speed of the light signal as viewed from the space vehicle
Answer:
The speed of the light signal as viewed from the observer is c.
Explanation:
Recall the basic postulate of the theory of relativity that the speed of light is the same in ALL inertial frames. Based on this, the speed of light is independent of the motion of the observer.

Using Fleming right hand rule that States that if the fore-finger, middle finger and the thumb of left hand are stretched mutually perpendicular to each other, such that fore-finger points in the direction of magnetic field, the middle finger points in the direction of the motion of positive charge, then the thumb points to the direction of the force
A 4g bullet, travelling at 589m/s embeds itself in a 2.3kg block of wood that is initially at rest, and together they travel at the same velocity. Calculate the percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before.
Answer:
The percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before is 0.174 %
Explanation:
Given;
mass of bullet, m₁ = 4g = 0.004kg
initial velocity of bullet, u₁ = 589 m/s
mass of block of wood, m₂ = 2.3 kg
initial velocity of the block of wood, u₂ = 0
let the final velocity of the system after collision = v
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)
0.004(589) + 2.3(0) = v(0.004 + 2.3)
2.356 = 2.304v
v = 2.356 / 2.304
v = 1.0226 m/s
Initial kinetic energy of the system
K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²
K.E₁ = ¹/₂(0.004)(589)² = 693.842 J
Final kinetic energy of the system
K.E₂ = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)
K.E₂ = ¹/₂ x 1.0226² x (0.004 + 2.3)
K.E₂ = 1.209 J
The kinetic energy left in the system = final kinetic energy of the system
The percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before = (K.E₂ / K.E₁) x 100%
= (1.209 / 693.842) x 100%
= 0.174 %
Therefore, the percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before is 0.174 %
As light shines from air to another medium, i = 26.0 º. The light bends toward the normal and refracts at 32.0 º. What is the index of refraction? A. 1.06 B. 0.944 C. 0.827 D. 1.21
Explanation:
It is given that,
Angle of incidence from air to another medium, i = 26°
The angle of reflection, r = 32°
We need to find the refractive index of the medium. The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of reflection is called refractive index. It can be given by :
[tex]n=\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}\\\\n=\dfrac{\sin (26)}{\sin (32)}\\\\n=0.82[/tex]
So, the index of refraction is 0.82. Hence, the correct option is C.
