John is going to use a rope to pull his sister Laura across the ground in a sled through the snow. He is pulling horizontally wi

th a constant force of 400 N. John and manages to get the sled going from 0 to 4 m/s in 5 s. The force due to friction on the sled is 310 N. What is the mass of Laura and the sled combined?

The combined mass of Laura and the sled sums up to 887.5 kgExplanation: To compute the total weight from Laura's weight plus the drag on the sled, we can determine the force as follows: =(400 + 310) N = 710 N. According to Newton's second law of motion, ''the rate of change of momentum is directly related to the force applied.'' Here, m represents Laura's mass and m the sled's mass. Thus, the combined mass is calculated as follows: given V = Δv = 4-0 = 4m/s, with t = 5 s. Consequently, the mass of Laura and the sled together results in 887.5 kg.

The capacitors in each circuit are fully charged before the switch is closed. Rank, from longest to shortest, the length of time
Sav [3153]
This involves circuit analysis through simplification of the resistors and capacitors. We need to determine the time constant for each circuit in figures A, B, C, D, and E. This leads to ranking the duration the bulbs remain lit from longest to shortest based on each circuit's time constant. The ranking for the time constants is C > A = E > B > D. Capacitance plays a pivotal role in electrostatics, and devices called capacitors are vital components in electronic circuits. When more charge is applied to a conductor, the voltage escalates proportionately. The capacitance of a conductor is quantified as C = q/v. Adding resistors in series raises resistance while parallel configurations reduce it, conversely increasing capacitance in parallel and diminishing it in series. Thus, circuits with greater time constants take longer to discharge.

A solid sphere is released from the top of a ramp that is at a height h1 = 2.30 m. It rolls down the ramp without slipping. The
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The horizontal distance d that the ball covers before it lands is 1.72 m.

Explanation:

Given,

Height of ramp h_{1}=2.30\ m

Height of bottom of ramp h_{2}=1.69\ m

Diameter = 0.17 m

We need to determine the horizontal distance d the ball travels before landing.

We need to calculate the time

Using the equation of motion

h_{2}=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h_{2}}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times1.69}{9.8}}

t=0.587\ sec

Next, we can find the ball's velocity

Using the kinetic energy formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)\times(\dfrac{v}{r})^2

K.E=\dfrac{7}{10}mv^2

By applying the conservation of energy

K.E=mg(h_{1}-h_{2})

\dfrac{7}{10}mv^2=mg(h_{1}-h_{2})

v^2=\dfrac{10}{7}\times g(h_{1}-h_{2})

We substitute the values into the equation

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{10\times9.8\times(2.30-1.69)}{7}}

v=2.922\ m/s

Next, we determine the horizontal distance d the ball travels before landing

Using the distance formula

d =vt

Where. d = distance

t = time

v = velocity

We substitute the values into the formula

d=2.922\times 0.587

d=1.72\ m

Thus, the horizontal distance d that the ball travels before it lands is 1.72 m.

The G string on a guitar is 69 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. A guitarist can play different notes by pushin
Keith_Richards [3271]
Δd = 23 cm. When the eta string of the guitar has nodes at both ends, the resulting waves create a standing wave, which can be expressed with the following formulas: Fundamental: L = ½ λ, 1st harmonic: L = 2 ( λ / 2), 2nd harmonic: L = 3 ( λ / 2), Harmonic n: L = n λ / 2, where n is an integer. The rope's speed can be calculated using the formula v = λ f. This speed remains constant based on the tension and linear density of the rope. Now, let's determine the speed with the provided data: v = 0.69 × 196, yielding v = 135.24 m/s. Next, we will find the wavelengths for the two frequencies: λ₁ = v / f₁, which gives λ₁ = 135.24 / 233.08, equaling λ₁ = 0.58022 m; λ₂ = v / f₂ results in λ₂ = 135.24 / 246.94, consequently λ₂ = 0.54766 m. We'll substitute into the resonance equation Lₙ = n λ/2. At the third fret, m = 3, therefore L₃ = 3 × 0.58022 / 2, resulting in L₃ = 0.87033 m. For the fourth fret, m = 4, which gives L₄ = 4 × 0.54766 / 2, equating to L₄ = 1.09532 m. The distance between the two frets is Δd = L₄ – L₃, so Δd = 1.09532 - 0.87033, leading to Δd = 0.22499 m or 22.5 cm, rounded to 23 cm.

If the diameter of a hole is 4.500 mm, what should be the diameter of a rivet at 23.0 ∘C, if its diameter is to equal that of th
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

Explanation:

at 23 degrees Celsius, the diameter measures 4.511 mm

GIVEN DATA:

diameter of hole  = 4.500 mm

T_1 = 23.0 degrees Celsius

T_2 = - 78.0 degrees Celsius

the expansion coefficient of aluminum is 2.4*10^{-5} (degrees Celsius)^{-1}

the diameter at 23 degrees Celsius is stated as

d = d_o (1+ \alpha \delta T)

 = 4.5 (1+2.4*10^{-5} *(23-(-78)))

   = 4.511 mm

the diameter of the rivet after temperature change is given as

d= d_o + \Delta d

 = d_o(1+ \alpha \delta T)

= 0.4500 *(1+2.4*10^{-5} *(23-(-78)))

= 0.4511 cm
