The mass of the bungee jumper is m = 80 kg
The spring constant is [tex]k = 20 \ N/ m[/tex]
The extension of the rubber bungee cords is x = 50 m
Generally the weight of the jumper is
[tex]W = m * g[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 80 * 9.8 [/tex]
=> tex]W = 784 \ N [/tex]
Generally the returning force of the rubber bungee cords is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = k * x[/tex]
=> [tex]F = 20 * 50 [/tex]
=> [tex]F = 1000 \ N [/tex]
The force to be applied by the bear is
[tex]F_b = F - W[/tex]
=> [tex]F_b = 100 - 784[/tex]
=> [tex]F_b = 216 \ N [/tex]

In a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard, students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallway. If the 4.7 kg book is pushed from rest through a distance of 0.85 m by the horizontal 42 N force from the broom and then has a speed of 1.0 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and floor
Answer:
μ_k = 0.851
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of book; m_book = 4.7 kg
Horizontal force; F_horiz = 42 N
Distance; d = 0.85 m
Speed; v = 1 m/s
First of all let's find the acceleration using Newton's equation of motion;
v² = u² + 2ad
u is initial velocity and it's 0 m/s in this case.
Thus;
1² = (2 × 0.85)a
1 = 1.7a
a = 1/1.7
a = 0.5882 m/s²
Now, resolving forces along the vertical direction, we have;
W - N = 0
Thus,W = N
Where W is weight = mg and N is normal force
Thus; N = mg = 4.7 × 9.81 = 46.107 N
Now, resolving forces along the horizontal direction, we have;
F_horiz - ((μ_k)N) = ma
Where μ_k is coefficient of kinetic friction.
Thus;
42 - 46.107(μ_k) = 4.7 × 0.5882
42 - 46.107(μ_k) = 2.76454
μ_k = (42 - 2.76454)/46.107
μ_k = 0.851
It takes a minimum distance of 48.96 m to stop a car moving at 12.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Assume that the same frictional forces apply and find the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 25.0 m/s.
Answer:
102 m
Explanation:
Given that It takes a minimum distance of 48.96 m to stop a car moving at 12.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Assume that the same frictional forces apply and find the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 25.0 m/s.
Let the stopping distance be equal to S.
According to the definition of speed,
Speed = distance / time.
make time the subject of the formula
Time = distance / speed
then, the equivalent time is:
48.96 / 12 = S / 25
Cross multiply
12S = 48.96 x 25
12S = 1224
S = 1224 / 12
S = 102 m
Therefore, the stopping distance is 102 m

[tex]\tau = RC[/tex]
=> [tex]\tau = 226 * 150 *10^{-9}[/tex]
=> [tex]\tau = 3.39 *10^{-5} \ s [/tex]
Generally the voltage is mathematically represented as
[tex]V = V_o e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{V_o}{2} = V_o e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
=> [tex]0.5 = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
=> [tex]ln(0.5) = {-\frac{t}{ 3.39 *10^{-5} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]ln(0.5) * 3.39 *10^{-5} = -t [/tex]
=> [tex]t = 2.35*10^{-5} \ s [/tex]

A 0.75 m3 rigid tank initially contains air whose density is 1.18 kg/m3. The tank is connected to a high-pressure supply link through a valve. The valve is opened, and air is allowed to enter the tank until the density in the tank rises to 4.95 kg/m3. Determine, in kg, the mass of air that has entered the tank..
Answer:
2.83kg
Explanation:
Answer:
2.83kg
Explanation:
Given
initial density = 1.18 kg/m3
Final density in the tank = 4.95 kg/m3.
Let us write the mass balance first.
Change in the mass of the system=mass of the air entering the system - Mass of air out the system
Mass that entered= M2 - M1
But DENSITY= MASS/ VOLUME
Mass= volume × Density
We can expressed the mass in terms of density since density is given in the question.
Mass that entered= (volume × density)2 - ( volume × density)1
= (V ρ)2 - (V ρ)1
But V1= V2 the volume remains the same
= ( ρ2 - ρ1)v
= (4.95 kg/m3 - 1.18 kg/m3) 0.75 m3
= 3.77× 0.75
= 2.8275kg
Mass that entered= 2.83kg
therefore, mass of air that has entered the tank= 2.83kg

Given
initial velocity of rocket u = 0m/s
final velocity of rocket = 30m/s
Height reached by the rocket = 98m
Required
upward acceleration of the rocket
Using the equation of motion below to get the acceleration a:
[tex]v^2 = u^2+2as\\30^2 = 0^2 + 2(a)(98)\\900 = 196a\\a = \frac{900}{196}\\a = 4.59m/s^2[/tex]
Hence upward acceleration of the rocket during the burn phase is closest to 5m/s²
Note that the velocity used in calculation was assumed.

Answer:
The displacement of the canoe is 1.46 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of canoe = 61 kg
Mass of man = 86.5 kg
Length = 4 m
Let the the displacement of the canoe is x'
We need to calculate the displacement of the man
Using formula of displacement
[tex]x=x_{2}-x_{1}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]x=4-(0.75+0.75)[/tex]
[tex]x=2.5\ m[/tex]
We need to calculate the displacement of the canoe
Using conservation of momentum
[tex]M_{m}v_{m}=(M_{c}+M_{m})v_{c}[/tex]
[tex]M_{m}\dfrac{x}{t}=(M_{c}+M_{m})\dfrac{x'}{t}[/tex]
[tex]86.5\times2.5=(61+86.5)\times x'[/tex]

Radio station KBOB broadcasts at a frequency of 85.7 MHz on your dial using radio waves that travel at 3.00 × 108 m/s. Since most of the station's audience is due south of the transmitter, the managers of KBOB don't want to waste any energy broadcasting to the east and west. They decide to build two towers, transmitting in phase at exactly the same frequency, aligned on an east-west axis. For engineering reasons, the two towers must be AT LEAST 10.0 m apart. What is the shortest distance between the towers that will eliminate all broadcast power to the east and west?
Answer:
12.5 m
Explanation:
The first thing we would do is to calculate the wavelength. To do this, we use the formula
v = fλ, where
v = wave speed
f = frequency
λ = wavelength
If we make wavelength the formula, we have
wavelength = speed / frequency
Now, we substitute the values we had been given and we have
wavelength = (3 * 10^8 m/s) / (85.7 * 10^6 Hz) wavelength = 3.50 m
half of this said wavelength will be
= 3.50 / 2
= 1.75 m
As a result of the engineering constraints with the towers being more than 10 m apart, the distance can't be 1.75 m and as such, it has to be a multiple of 1.75m. So we say,
(10 / 1.75) = 5.7
So the separation will have to be 7 half wavelengths
= (7 * 1.75) = 12.5 m
Astronomers have proposed the existence of a ninth planet in the distant solar system. Its semi-major axis is suggested to be approximately 600 AU. If this prediction is correct, what is its orbital period in years
Answer:
T = 1.4696 10⁴ years
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use Kepler's laws, specifically the third law which is the application of the universal law of gravitation to Newton's second law
F = ma
G m M / r² = m a_c = m v² / r
G M / r = v²
the speed of the circular orbit is
v = 2π r / T
we substitute
G M / r = 4π² r² / T²
T² = (4π² / G M) r³
Kepler proved that this expression is the same if the radius is changed by the semi-major axis of an ellipse
T² = (4π² /GM) a³
the constant is worth
(4π² / GM) = 2.97 10⁻¹⁹ s² / m³
let's reduce the distance to SI units
AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun
a = 600 AU = 600 AU (1.496 10¹¹ m / 1 AU)
a = 8.976 10¹³ m
T² = 2.97 10⁻¹⁹ (8.976 10¹³)³
T² = 21.4786 10²²
T = 4.63 10¹¹ s
Let's reduce to years
T = 4.63 10¹¹s (1 h / 3600s) (1 day / 24 h) (1 year / 365 days)
T = 1.4696 10⁴ years
On top of a cliff of height h, a spring is compressed 5m and launches a projectile perfectly horizontally with a speed of 75 m s . It hits the ground with speed 90 m s . How high above the ground was the cliff? (Hint: use energy conservation to make the problem easier!)
Answer:
The height of the cliff is 121.276 m
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the projectile, v₁ = 75 m/s
final velocity of the projectile, v₂ = 90 m/s
spring compression = 5 m
Apply the law of conservation of energy;
mgh₀ + ¹/₂mv₁² = mgh₂ + ¹/₂mv₂²
gh₀ + ¹/₂v₁² = gh₂ + ¹/₂v²
gh₁ - gh₂ = ¹/₂v₂² - ¹/₂v₁²
g(h₀ - h₂) = ¹/₂ (v₂² - v₁²)
h₀ - h₂ = ¹/₂g (v₂² - v₁²)
h₀ = h(cliff) + 5m
when the projectile hits the ground, Final height, h₂ = 0
[tex]h_o - 0 = \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\h_{cliff} + 5= \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\h_{cliff} = \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2) - 5\\\\h_{cliff} = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(90^2-75^2) - 5\\\\h_{cliff} = 121.276 \ m[/tex]
Therefore, the height of the cliff is 121.276 m

From the question we are told that
The distance is [tex]D = 35 \ light-years = 35 * 9.46 *10^{15} = 3.311 *10^{17} \ m [/tex]
Generally the time it would take for the message to get the the other civilization is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{D}{c}[/tex]
Here c is the speed of light with the value [tex]c = 3.08 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{3.311 *10^{17} }{3.08 *10^{8}}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = 1.075 *10^9 \ s[/tex]
converting to years
[tex]t = 1.075 *10^9 * 3.17 *10^{-8} [/tex]
[tex]t = 1.075 *10^9 * 3.17 *10^{-8} [/tex]
[tex]t = 34 \ years [/tex]
Now the total time taken is mathematically represented as
[tex]T = 2* t + 2 + 2[/tex]
=> [tex]T = 2* 34 + 2 + 2[/tex]
=> [tex]T =72 \ years /tex]

The radius is r = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m
The current is I = 18.0 A
Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as
[tex]B = \mu_o * \frac{N }{L} * I[/tex]
Here [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with value
[tex]\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]

A shell is fired with a horizontal velocity in the positive x direction from the top of an 80 m high cliff. The shell strikes the ground 1330 m from the base of the cliff. What is the speed of the shell as it hits the ground
Answer:
V = 331.59m/s
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the time taken for the shell fire to hit the ground using the equation of motion.
S = ut + 1/2at²
Given height of the cliff S = 80m
initial velocity u = 0m/s²
a = g = 9.81m/s²
Substitute
80 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²
80 = 4.905t²
t² = 80/4.905
t² = 16.31
t = √16.31
t = 4.04s
Next is to get the vertical velocity
Vy = u + gt
Vy = 0+(9.81)(4.04)
Vy = 39.6324
Also calculate the horizontal velocity
Vx = 1330/4.04
Vx = 329.21m/s
Find the magnitude of the velocity to calculate speed of the shell as it hits the ground.
V² = Vx²+Vy²
V² = 329.21²+39.63²
V² = 329.21²+39.63²
V² = 108,379.2241+1,570.5369
V² = 109,949.761
V = √ 109,949.761
V = 331.59m/s
Hence the speed of the shell as it hits the ground is 331.59m/s
for an emitted wavelength of 500 nanometers and a redshift of 0.4 what will be the observed wavelength g
Answer:
The observed wavelength is [tex] \lambda = 700nm[/tex] (color - Red)
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength of the emitter is [tex]\lambda_ e = 500 nm = 500 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The redshift is R = 0.4
Generally red shift is mathematically represented as
[tex]R = \frac{ \lambda - \lambda_e }{\lambda_e}[/tex]
=> [tex]0.4 = \frac{ \lambda - 500 *10^{-9} }{500 *10^{-9} }[/tex]
=> [tex] \lambda - 500*10^{-9} = 200*10^{-9} [/tex]
=> [tex] \lambda = 700 *10^{-9}[/tex]
=> [tex] \lambda = 700nm[/tex]
Calculate the force a 75 kg high jumper must exert in order to produce an acceleration that is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity.
Answer:
Explanation
According to Newton's second law of motion,
F = ma
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
If the acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity, then a = 3.2g
The formula becomes;
F = m(3.2g)
F = 3.2mg
m= 75kg
g = 9.81m/s²
F = 3.2(75)(9.81)
F = 2,354.4N
Hence the force exerted by the jumper is 2,354.4N

Next, we'll examine magnetic force. Bring the ends of your two magnets together. Explore the three
possible combinations. In two of the combinations, the two ends are the same. In one combination, the
two ends are different. Describe the force you feel in each combination
Answer:
i. The magnetic force of repulsion.
ii. The magnetic force of attraction.
Explanation:
A magnet is a material that has the attraction and repulsion capability. Magnets has two poles, north and south, thus would attract or repel another magnet in its neighborhood. It can either be a permanent or temporal magnet, and attracts ferrous metals.
i. In the case of two combinations where two ends are the same, it could be observed that the two ends (poles) repels each other. Thus since like poles repels, magnetic force of repulsion is felt.
ii. In the case of one combination in which the two ends are different, the two ends (poles) attract. Since unlike poles attracts, magnetic force of attraction is observed.

Once the speaker is moved a distance r = 60.0 cm from its original position, the listener, who is not moving, observes destructive interference for the first time. Find the speed of sound v in the air if both speakers emit a tone of frequency 700 Hz .

Answer:
The speed is [tex] v = 350 \ m/s [/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of separation is d = 4.00 m
The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is I = 5.00 m
The change in the distance of the speaker is by [tex]k = 60 cm = 0.6 \ m[/tex]
The frequency of both speakers is [tex]f = 700 \ Hz[/tex]
Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as
[tex]L_1 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}[/tex]
[tex]L_1 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}[/tex]
[tex]L_1 = 5.39 \ m [/tex]
Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is
[tex]L_2 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}[/tex]
[tex]L_2 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}[/tex]
[tex]L_2 = 5.64 \ m [/tex]
Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as
[tex]pD = L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \lambda}{2}[/tex]
Here [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as
[tex]\lambda = \frac{v}{f}[/tex]
=> [tex] L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \frac{v}{f}}{2}[/tex]
=> [tex] L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}[/tex]
=> [tex] L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}[/tex]
Here n is the order of the maxima with value of n = 1 this because we are considering two adjacent waves
=> [tex] 5.64 - 5.39 = \frac{1 * v}{2*700}[/tex]
=> [tex] v = 350 \ m/s [/tex]
The speed of sound in air is 350 m/s
Since the distance between both speakers is 4 m, and the listener is standing 5 m away from halfway between them, the distance L from each loudspeaker to the listener, since the arrangement forms a right-angled triangle, using Pythagoras' theorem,
L = √[(5 m)² + (4/2 m)²]
= √[25 m² + (2 m)²]
= √[25 m² + 4 m²]
= √29 m² = 5.39 m.
Now, when one speaker is moved 60 cm = 0.6 m away from its original position, its distance from the listener is now
L' = √[(5 m)² + (4/2 + 0.6 m)²]
= √[25 m² + (2 m + 0.6 m)²]
= √[25 m² + (2.6 m)²]
= √[25 m² + 6.76 m²]
= √31.76 m²
= 5.64 m.
Now, the path difference when we first have destructive interference is
ΔL = L' - L
= 5.64 - 5.39
= 0.25
Since we have destructive interference for the first time when the speaker is moved, the path difference, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ where λ = wavelength = v/f where v = speed of sound in air and f = frequency = 700 Hz.
Now, since we have destructive interference for the first time, n = 0.
So, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ
ΔL = (0 + 1/2)v/f
ΔL = v/2f
Making v subject of the formula, we have
v = 2fΔL
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
v = 2fΔL
v = 2 × 700 Hz × 0.25 m
v = 350 m/s
So, the speed of sound in air is 350 m/s
