Suppose the entire population of the world gathers in one spot and, at the sounding of a prearranged signal, everyone jumps up. While all the people are in the air, does Earth gain momentum in the opposite direction?
a) No; the inertial mass of Earth is so large that the planet’s change in motion is imperceptible.
b) Yes; because of its much larger inertial mass, however, the change in momentum of Earth is much less than that of all the jumping people.
c) Yes; Earth recoils, like a rifle firing a bullet, with a change in momentum equal to and opposite that of the people.
d) It depends.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:(B)

Explanation:

Answer 2

No; the inertial mass of Earth is so large that the planet’s change in motion is imperceptible, therefore the correct answer is option A.

What is Newton's first law?

According to Newton's first law, until pushed to alter its condition by the intervention of an external force, every object will continue to be at rest or in uniform motion along a single direction.

As given in the problem suppose the entire population of the world gathers in one spot and, at the sound of a prearranged signal, everyone jumps up. While all the people are in the air, we have to find out if Earth gains momentum in the opposite direction,

The mass of the earth is very huge approximately 5.97 ×10²⁴ kilogram.

Even the combined mass of all the population combined would be negligible as compared to the mass of the earth.

Thus, the earth would not gain momentum in the opposite direction.

What's the effect of mass and speed on kinetic energy

Answers

Answer:

The relationship between Kinetic energy, mass and speed indicates that kinetic energy and mass are proportional. This proportionality implies that if the mass is doubled, its kinetic energy is doubled too. More generally, if two objects move with the same speed the most massive one has the higher kinetic energy

A military airplane sometimes needs to refuel in mid-air, and another plane flies above it to add the fuel. If a plane with a mass of 7,800 kg is traveling with a velocity of 30 m/s and refuels by adding an additional 800 kg of jet fuel, what will its new velocity be? (Hint: This is a multi-step problem).

Answers

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass by velocity, in this way we have the following equation.

[tex]P=m*v[/tex]

where:

P = momemtum [kg*m/s]

m = mass = 1500 [kg]

v = velocity = 6 [m/s]

[tex]P = 1500*6\\P=9000 [kg*m/s][/tex]

Now we have to calculate the momentum of the plane when it travels at 30 [m/s].

[tex]P_{airplane}=m_{plane}*v_{plane}\\P_{airplane}=7800*30\\P_{airplane}=234000[kg*m/s][/tex]

Now this same momentum must be conserved, in such a way that the mass is increased but the velocity must decrease for the momentum to be conserved.

[tex]P=m_{new}*v_{new}\\234000=(7800+800)*v_{new}\\234000=8600*v_{new}\\v_{new}=27.2[m/s][/tex]

Answer:

A steady-state temperature difference of 85 K is impressed across a fiberglass layer of 13 cm thickness. The thermal conductivity of the fiberglass is 0.035 W/m K. Compute the heat transferred through the material per hour per meter squared.

Answers

Answer:

21.54W/m²

Explanation:

Heat transferred through the material is expressed as;

Q =K∆T/∆x

Given

Thermal conductivity k = 0.035W/mK

∆T is the change in temperature = 80K

∆x is the thickness = 13cm = 0.13m

Substitute the given values into the formula

Q = 0.035(80)/0.13

Q = 2.8/0.13

Q = 21.54W/m²

Hence the heat transferred through the material is 21.54W/m²

A 0.5 kg apple falls from a tree. When the apple is 1.5 meters above the ground it has a velocity of 2.4 m/s. What is the apple's total mechanical energy

Answers

Answer:

8.7975 Joules

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

mass m= 0.5kg

height h= 1.5m

velocity v= 2.4m/s

The potential energy PE= mgh

The kinetic energy KE= 1/2mv^2

Step two

PE=0.5*9.81*1.5

PE=7.3575 Joules

KE= 1/2*0.5*2.4^2

KE=0.5*0.5*5.76

KE=1.44 Joules

The total mechanical energy is

PE+KE

=7.3575+1.44

=8.7975 Joules

The range is the horizontal distance from the cannon when the pumpkin hits the ground. This distance is given by the product of the horizontal velocity (which is constant) and the amount of time the pumpkin is in the air (which is determined by the vertical component of the initial velocity, as you just discovered). Set the initial speed to 14 m/s, and fire the pumpkin several times while varying the angle between the cannon and the horizontal. For which angle is the range a maximum (with the initial speed held constant)

Answers

Answer:

x(max) = 20 m

Explanation:

In projectile shoot e have:

V₀y  = V₀*sin θ

V₀ₓ = V₀*cos θ

V₀  initial speed

θ  shotting angle

Vₓ = V₀ₓ = V₀*cos θ     during the trajectory

Vy  = V₀y  - g*t

And when  Vy = 0   h is maximun and the time to reach y maximum is half of the overall time.

According to that

Vy  =  0     V₀y = g*t       t  =  V₀y/g

t = 14* sinθ / 9,8

t = 1,43 *sinθ  s

And    overall time is T = 2* 1,43*sinθ

t = 2,86*sinθ

x = V₀ₓ * t   s

x = 14*cosθ * 2,86* sinθ

x = 40 * cosθ * sinθ

Lets take two very well know sin   cos pairs

for ∡ 30       ∡ 45     ∡60

and 30 and 60 are complementary angles for boths

cosθ * sinθ  is the same  ( 1/2)*(√3/2)

cosθ * sinθ  =  0,433     and

x = 40* 0,433

x = 17,32 m

For ∡ 45    boths   sin45    and  cos45   are equal  √2/2

In this case

x  =  40*(√2/2)*(√2/2)

x  =  40* 2/4

x = 20 m

And that is the maximum range

x(max) = 20 m

6. Balsa wood with an average density of 130 kg/m3 is floating in pure water. What percentage of the wood is submerged

Answers

Answer:

The percentage of the submerged wood is 13%.

Explanation:

Given;

density of the Balsa wood, [tex]\rho _{wood}[/tex]  = 130 kg/m³

density of pure water, [tex]\rho_{water}[/tex] = 1000 kg/m³

The percentage of the submerged wood is calculated as;

[tex]Percentage \ of \ submerged \ wood = \frac{130 \ kg/m^3}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \ \times \ 100 \% \\\\Percentage \ of \ submerged \ wood = 13 \ \%[/tex]

Therefore, the percentage of the submerged wood is 13%.

The classic Millikan oil drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oil drops were suspended against the gravitational force by a vertical electric field. Given the oil drop to be 1.00 um in radius and have a density of 920 kg/m^3.

a. Find the weight of the drop.
b. If the drop has a single excess electron, find the electric field strength needed to balance its weight.

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]W=3.78\cdot 10^{-14}\: N[/tex]

b) [tex]E=2.36\cdot 10^{5} N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

a) The weight is just the mass of the drop times the acceleration of gravity.

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

Or in terms of density.

[tex]W=\rho Vg[/tex] (1)

If we consider the volume of a drop as spherical, we can find the volume (R=1 μm = 0.000001 m).

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (10^{-6})^{3}[/tex]  

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi 10^{-18}[/tex]  

[tex]V=4.19\cdot 10^{-18}\: m^{3}[/tex]

Then, using equation (1), the weight will be:

[tex]W=920\cdot 4.19\cdot 10^{-18}\cdot 9.81[/tex]

[tex]W=3.78\cdot 10^{-14}\: N[/tex]  

b) To balance the weight, the electric field times the charge must be the same value in the opposite direction, which means:

[tex]W-qE=0[/tex]                  

[tex]E=\frac{W}{q_{electron}}[/tex]

[tex]E=\frac{3.78\cdot 10^{-14}}{1.60\cdot 10^{-19}}[/tex]        

[tex]E=2.36\cdot 10^{5} N/C[/tex]

A spring with a rest length of 0.7 m has a spring constant of 70 N/m. It is stretched and now has a length of 2.5 m. What is the potential energy stored in the spring?

____ J

Answers

Answer:

113.4 J

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

[tex]\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2[/tex]

The spring has a natural length of 0.7 m and a spring constant of k=70 N/m. When the spring is stretched to a length of 2.5 m, the change of length is

Δx = 2.5 m - 0.7 m = 1.8 m

The energy stored in the spring is:

[tex]\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}70(1.8)^2[/tex]

PE = 113.4 J

You are assigned the design of a cylindrical, pressurized water tank for a future colony on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 meters per second per second. The pressure at the surface of the water will be 150 KPa , and the depth of the water will be 14.4 m . The pressure of the air in the building outside the tank will be 88.0 KPa .
Find the net downward force on the tank's flat bottom, of area 2.15 m2 , exerted by the water and air inside the tank and the air outside the tank.

Answers

Answer: F = 6262.2 kN

Explanation: Pressure is defined as force per area. But pressure varies according to the depth of a fluid: in air, it decreases the higher the altitude, while in water, it increases the deeper you go.

So, at the bottom of the tank, besides the pressure of air inside the tank and air outside the tank, there is pressure of water due to its depth.

Pressure due to the depth is calculated as

                                    [tex]P=h.\rho.g[/tex]

h is the depth in m

ρ is density of the fluid, in this case is water, so ρ = 997 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity, which, in this case, is 3.71 m/s²

Then, pressure at the bottom of the tank due to variation in depth is

[tex]P=14.4(997)(3.71)[/tex]

P = 53263.73 Pa or 53.26 kPa

Assuming positive referential is downward, all pressures at the bottom point down, so total or resultant pressure is:

[tex]P_{r}=P_{1}+P_{2}+P_{3}[/tex]

[tex]P_{r}=150+88+53.26[/tex]

[tex]P_{r}=[/tex] 291.26 kPa

At last, pressure is force per area:

[tex]P=\frac{F}{A}[/tex]

[tex]F=P.A[/tex]

[tex]F_{r}=P_{r}.A[/tex]

[tex]F_{r}=291.26.10^{3}(2.15)[/tex]

[tex]F_{r}=[/tex] 626209 N or 626.2 kN

At the cylindrical tank's flat bottom, net force has magnitude 626.2 kN.

a projectile is shot horizontally from the edge of a cliff, 230m above the ground. the projectile lands 300m from base of the cliff​

Answers

Answer:

The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical height of cliff = 230 m

Distance = 300 m

Suppose, determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground.

We need to calculate the time

Using second equation of motion

[tex]s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

Where, s = vertical height of cliff

u = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

[tex]230=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2[/tex]

[tex]t=\sqrt{\dfrac{230\times2}{9.8}}[/tex]

[tex]t=6.85 sec[/tex]

Hence, The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.

A 4.5-kW resistance heater in a water heater runs for 3 hours to raise the water temperature to the desired level. Determine the amount of electric energy used in both kWh and kJ.

Answers

Answer:

The electrical energy is 13.5 kWh or 48600 kJ

= 13.5 kWh

Since,

1 kWh = 3600 kJ

13.5 kWh = 48600 kJ

Hence, the required electrical energy is 13.5 kWh or 48600 kJ
