Answer:

14523.55J

Explanation:

The work exerted by the jogger against gravitational forces is represented by the following equation:

W=mgh.................(1)

where m signifies mass, g represents gravitational acceleration taken as 9.8m/s^2, and h denotes the elevation of the hill.

Given that the hill measures 132m in length and is inclined at an angle of 12 degrees to the horizontal, the height can be calculated as follows;

h=132sin12^o\\h=27.44m

Substitute this value into equation (1) along with all other required parameters to arrive at the result;

W=54*9.8*27.44\\W=14523.55J

A car drives 215 km east and then 45 km north. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? Round your answer to the nearest
Ostrovityanka [3204]
The Pythagorean Theorem can be utilized here: Imagine a car navigating through traffic—when it turns left to travel north, a right angle of 90 degrees is formed. However, the displacement is always the shortest distance connecting the origin and the endpoint, which forms a triangle in this scenario. In a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem applies: 215^2+45^2=c^2; therefore, v=√(215^2+45^2).

A fan that is switched on for 1 minute uses 500 W usefully but also wastes 300 W through the emission of sound and heat. What's
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Explanation:

Efficiency can be expressed as the ratio of useful output to the total power consumed. E = \frac{useful}{total}

The fan delivers 500W as useful output while wasting 300W. Thus, the overall power consumed equals 800W (500 + 300).

a. For a spring-mass oscillator, if you double the mass but keep the stiffness the same, by what numerical factor does the perio
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

a) factor b=\sqrt{2}

b) factor b=\frac{1}{2}

c) factor b=1

d) factor b=1

Explanation:

For an oscillating spring-mass system, the time period is expressed as:

T=\frac{1}{f}

T={2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

where:

f= represents the frequency of oscillation

m= signifies the mass linked to the spring

k= is the spring's stiffness constant

a) If the mass is doubled:

  • New mass, m'=2m

Thus, the new time period:

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m'}{k} }

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{2m}{k} }

T'=\sqrt{2}\times 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }

T'=\sqrt{2} \times T

this leads to factor b=\sqrt{2} as per the question.

b) When the stiffness constant is quadrupled, holding other factors constant:

New stiffness constant, k'=4k

Thus, the new time period:

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k'} }\\\\T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{4k} }\\\\T'=\frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }\\\\T'=\frac{1}{2} \times T

this results in factor b=\frac{1}{2} as required.

c) When both mass and stiffness constant are quadrupled:

New stiffness, k'=4k

New mass, m'=4m

Thus, the new time period:

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m'}{k'} }\\\\T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{4m}{4k} }\\\\T'=1 \times 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } }\\\\T'=1 \times T

which leads to factor b=1 as stated in the question.

d) If amplitude is quadrupled, the time period remains unaffected because T does not depend on amplitude as demonstrated by the equation.

Thus, factor b=1

A manometer using oil (density 0.900 g/cm3) as a fluid is connected to an air tank. Suddenly the pressure in the tank increases
Keith_Richards [3271]
The rise in fluid level is 0.11 m, and for mercury, it is 0.728 cm or 7.28 mm. \nTo solve this, here’s the information we have: \n- Density of oil: [density value] \n- Change in pressure in the tank: [pressure change] \n- Density of mercury: [density value] \nTo find the fluid level rise in the manometer: \n1 mmHg equals 133.332 Pa. \nBased on the variables: g is the acceleration due to gravity and h represents the height of the fluid level. \nh = 0.11 m. \nUsing mercury, we find: \nh = 0.00728 m, which is 7.28 mm.
