Answer:
Graph (c) would be created by a pendulum with the greatest amplitude.
Explanation:
The amplitude of a wave is the greatest displacement covered by an object. It refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. It is the distance from rest to crest.
Out of three graphs, the amplitude is greatest in graph 3 as the distance from rest is crest in this case is maximum. Hence, the correct option is (c).
A horizontal force of P=100 N is just sufficient to hold the crate from sliding down the plane, and a horizontal force of P=350 N is required to just push the crate up the plane. Determine the coefficient of static friction between the plane and the crate, and find the mass of the crate.
"down/up the plane" suggests an inclined plane, but no angle is given so I'll call it θ for the time being.
The free body diagram for the crate in either scenario is the same, except for the direction in which static friction is exerted on the crate. With the P = 100 N force holding up the crate, static friction points up the incline and keeps the crate from sliding downward. When P = 350 N, the crate is pushed upward, so static friction points down. (see attached FBDs)
Using Newton's second law, we set up the following equations.
• p = 100 N
∑ F (parallel) = f + p cos(θ) - mg sin(θ) = 0
∑ F (perpendicular) = n - p sin(θ) - mg cos(θ) = 0
• P = 350 N
∑ F (parallel) = P cos(θ) - F - mg sin(θ) = 0
∑ F (perpendicular) = N - P sin(θ) - mg cos(θ) = 0
(where n and N are the magnitudes of the normal force in the respective scenarios; ditto for f and F which denote static friction, so that f = µn and F = µN, with µ = coefficient of static friction)
Solve for n and N :
n = p sin(θ) + mg cos(θ)
N = P sin(θ) - mg cos(θ)
Substitute these into the corresponding equations containing µ, and solve for µ :
µ = (mg sin(θ) - p cos(θ)) / (mg cos(θ) + p sin(θ))
µ = (P cos(θ) - mg sin(θ)) / (P sin(θ) + mg cos(θ))
Next, you would set these equal and solve for m :
(mg sin(θ) - p cos(θ)) / (mg cos(θ) + p sin(θ)) = (P cos(θ) - mg sin(θ)) / (P sin(θ) + mg cos(θ))
...
Once you find m, you back-substitute and solve for µ, but as you might expect the result will be pretty complicated. If you take a simple angle like θ = 30°, you would end up with
m ≈ 36.5 kg
µ ≈ 0.256
The coefficient of static friction between the plane and the crate is μ = 0.256 and the mass of the crate is m=36.4 kg.
From the given,
The force that opposes the crate by sliding is P = 100N
In X-axis, the sum of forces is zero.
ΣF = 0
Pcosθ - mgsinθ-Ff = 0
Ff = Pcosθ - mgsinθ
In Y-axis
Psinθ - mgcosθ - N = 0
N = Psinθ-mgcosθ
Frictional force, Ff = μN, μ is the coefficient of friction
Ff = μN
Pcos30- mgsin30 + μ( Psin30+mgcos30) = 0
μ = mgsin30-Pcos30/Psin30+mgcos30 ------1
The block is sliding with the horizontal force, F = 350N
X-axis
P₂cosθ - mgsinθ-Ff = 0
Y-axis
P₂sinθ - mgcosθ - N = 0
N = P₂sinθ-mgcosθ
μ = P₂cos30-mgsin30/P₂sin30-mgcos30 -----2
Equate equations 1 and 2
mgsin30-Pcos30/Psin30+mgcos30 =P₂cos30-mgsin30/P₂sin30-mgcos30
4.905m-86.6/50+8.49 = 303.1-4.905m/175+8.49
41.7m² + 123m - 1.516×10⁴ = 0
-41.7m² +2330m -1.516×10⁴(4.905-86.6)(175+8.49) =(303.1-4.905)(50+8.49)
83.4m² - 2207m -3.03×10⁴ = 0
m= 36.4 kg
Hence, the mass of the crate is 36.4 Kg.
Substitute the value of m in equation 1,
μ = 4.905(36.4) - 86.6 / 50 + 8.49
μ = 0.256
Thus, the coefficient of static friction is 0.256.

Answer:
Option A. –5 m/s²
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (v₁) = 9 m/s
Initial time (t₁) = 0 s
Final velocity (v₂) = –6 m/s
Final time (t₂) = 3 s
Acceleration (a) =?
Next, we shall determine the change in the velocity and time. This can be obtained as follow:
For velocity:
Initial velocity (v₁) = 9 m/s
Final velocity (v₂) = –6 m/s
Change in velocity (Δv) =?
ΔV = v₂ – v₁
ΔV = –6 – 9
ΔV = –15 m/s
For time:
Initial time (t₁) = 0 s
Final time (t₂) = 3 s
Change in time (Δt) =?
Δt = t₂ – t₁
Δt = 3 – 0
Δt = 3 s
Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Change in velocity (Δv) = –15 m/s
Change in time (Δt) = 3 s
Acceleration (a) =?
a = Δv / Δt
a = –15 / 3
a = –5 m/s²
Thus, the acceleration of the object is
–5 m/s².

Find the starting pressure of CCl4 at this temperature that produces a total pressure of 1.1 atm at equilibrium. Express the pressure in atmospheres to three significant figures.
The complete question is as follows: At 700 K, [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] decomposes to carbon and chlorine. The Kp for the decomposition is 0.76.
Find the starting pressure of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] at this temperature that will produce a total pressure of 1.1 atm at equilibrium.
Answer: The starting pressure of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] is 0.79 atm.
Explanation:
The equation for decomposition of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] is as follows.
[tex]CCl_{4}(g) \rightleftharpoons C(s) + 2Cl_{2}(g)[/tex]
Let us assume that initial concentration of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] is 'a'. Hence, the initial and equilibrium concentrations will be as follows.
[tex]CCl_{4}(g) \rightleftharpoons C(s) + 2Cl_{2}(g)[/tex]
Initial: a 0 0
Equilibrium: (a - x) 0 2x
Total pressure = (a - x) + 2x = a + x
As it is given that the total pressure is 1.1 atm.
So, a + x = 1.1
a = 1.1 - x
Now, expression for equilibrium constant for this equation is as follows.
[tex]K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{Cl_{2}}}{P_{CCl_{4}}}\\0.76 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{(a - x)}\\0.76 = \frac{4x^{2}}{1.1 - x - x}\\0.76 = \frac{4x^{2}}{1.1 - 2x}\\x = 0.31 atm[/tex]
Hence, the value of 'a' is calculated as follows.
a + x = 1.1 atm
a = 1.1 atm - x
= 1.1 atm - 0.31 atm
= 0.79 atm
Thus, we can conclude that starting pressure of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] is 0.79 atm.
A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 13 rad/s. During a 8-s interval the angular velocity increases to 57 rad/s. Assume that the angular acceleration was constant during this time interval. How many revolutions does the wheel turn through during this time interval
Answer:
The number of revolutions is 44.6.
Explanation:
We can find the revolutions of the wheel with the following equation:
[tex]\theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\omega_{0}[/tex]: is the initial angular velocity = 13 rad/s
t: is the time = 8 s
α: is the angular acceleration
We can find the angular acceleration with the initial and final angular velocities:
[tex] \omega_{f} = \omega_{0} + \alpha t [/tex]
Where:
[tex] \omega_{f} [/tex]: is the final angular velocity = 57 rad/s
[tex] \alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega_{0}}{t} = \frac{57 rad/s - 13 rad/s}{8 s} = 5.5 rad/s^{2} [/tex]
Hence, the number of revolutions is:
[tex] \theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2} = 13 rad/s*8 s + \frac{1}{2}*5.5 rad/s^{2}*(8 s)^{2} = 280 rad*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 44.6 rev [/tex]
Therefore, the number of revolutions is 44.6.

A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 3.3 rad/s2. The diameter of the wheel is 21 cm. What is the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant when that point has a total linear acceleration with a magnitude of 1.7 m/s2
Answer:
The the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant=0.418 m/s
Explanation:
We are given that
Angular acceleration, [tex]\alpha=3.3 rad/s^2[/tex]
Diameter of the wheel, d=21 cm
Radius of wheel, [tex]r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{21}{2}[/tex] cm
Radius of wheel, [tex]r=\frac{21\times 10^{-2}}{2} m[/tex]
1m=100 cm
Magnitude of total linear acceleration, a=[tex]1.7 m/s^2[/tex]
We have to find the linear speed of a at an instant when that point has a total linear acceleration with a magnitude of 1.7 m/s2.
Tangential acceleration,[tex]a_t=\alpha r[/tex]
[tex]a_t=3.3\times \frac{21\times 10^{-2}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]a_t=34.65\times 10^{-2}m/s^2[/tex]
Radial acceleration,[tex]a_r=\frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]
We know that
[tex]a=\sqrt{a^2_t+a^2_r}[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]1.7=\sqrt{(34.65\times 10^{-2})^2+(\frac{v^2}{r})^2}[/tex]
Squaring on both sides
we get
[tex]2.89=1200.6225\times 10^{-4}+\frac{v^4}{r^2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{v^4}{r^2}=2.89-1200.6225\times 10^{-4}[/tex]
[tex]v^4=r^2\times 2.7699[/tex]
[tex]v^4=(10.5\times 10^{-2})^2\times 2.7699[/tex]
[tex]v=((10.5\times 10^{-2})^2\times 2.7699)^{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]v=0.418 m/s[/tex]
Hence, the the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant=0.418 m/s

The value of mass remains constant but weight changes place to place why
Explanation:
No matter where you are in the universe, your mass is always the same: mass is a measure of the amount of matter which makes up an object. Weight, however, changes because it is a measure of the force between an object and body on which an object resides (whether that body is the Earth, the Moon, Mars, et cetera).
Explanation:
Hence, weight of a body will change from one place to another place because the value of g is different in different places. For example, the value of g on moon is 1/6 times of the value of g on earth. As mass is independent of g , so it will not change from place to place.
A baseball of mass 0.145 kg is thrown at a speed of 40.0 m/s. The batter strikes the ball with a force of 15,000 N; the bat and ball are in contact for 0.500 ms. The force is exactly opposite to the original direction of the ball. Determine the final speed of the ball.
The final speed of the ball is 91.72 m/s.
Given the following data:
Mass of baseball = 0.145 kgInitial speed = 40.0 m/sForce = 15,000 NewtonTime = 0.500 milliseconds (ms) to seconds = 0.0005 seconds.To find the final speed of the ball, we would use the following formula:
[tex]F = \frac{M(V - U)}{t}[/tex]
Where:
F is the force applied. u is the initial speed. v is the final speed. t is the time measured in seconds.Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]15000 = \frac{0.145(V \;- \;40)}{0.0005}\\\\15000(0.0005) = 0.145(V \;- \;40)\\\\7.5 = 0.145V - 5.8\\\\0.145V = 7.5 + 5.8\\\\0.145V = 13.3\\\\V = \frac{13.3}{0.145}[/tex]
Final speed, V = 91.72 m/s
Therefore, the final speed of the ball is 91.72 m/s.

Part of your electrical load is a 60-W light that is on continuously. By what percentage can your energy consumption be reduced by turning this light off
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
The cost after 30 days is 60 dollars. As energy remains constant, the cost per hour over 30 days will be decreased.
[tex]\to \frac{\$60}{\frac{30 \ days}{24\ hours}} = \$0.08 / kwh.[/tex]
Thus, [tex]\frac{\$0.08}{\$0.12} = 0.694 \ kW \times 0.694 \ kW \times 1000 = 694 \ W.[/tex]
The electricity used is continuously 694W over 30 days.
If just resistor loads (no reagents) were assumed,
[tex]\to I = \frac{P}{V}= \frac{694\ W}{120\ V} = 5.78\ A[/tex]
Energy usage reduction percentage = [tex](\frac{60\ W}{694\ W} \times 100\%)[/tex]
This bulb accounts for [tex]8.64\%[/tex] of the energy used, hence it saves when you switch it off.
A double-slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength 550 nm. The bright interference fringes are spaced 2.3 mm apart on the viewing screen. What will the fringe spacing be if the light is changed to a wavelength of 360 nm?
Answer:
[tex]d_2=1.5*10^-3m[/tex]

From the question we are told that:
Initial Wavelength [tex]\lambda_1=550nm=550*10^{-9}[/tex]
Space 1 [tex]d_1=2.3*10^{-3}[/tex]
Final wavelength [tex]\lambda_2=360*10^{-9}[/tex]
Generally the equation for Fringe space at [tex]\lambda _2[/tex] is mathematically given by

Answer:
[tex]k_{eq} = \frac{k}{N}[/tex]
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use hooke's law
F = - k x
where x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.
x = [tex]- \frac{F}{k}[/tex]
if we have several springs in series, the total displacement is the sum of the displacement for each spring, F the external force applied to the springs
x_ {total} = ∑ x_i
we substitute
x_ {total} = ∑ -F / ki
F / k_ {eq} = -F [tex]\sum \frac{1}{k_i}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{k_{eq}} = \frac{1}{k_i}[/tex] 1 / k_ {eq} = ∑ 1 / k_i
if all the springs are the same
k_i = k
[tex]\frac{1}{k_{eq}} = \frac{1}{k} \sum 1 \\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{k_{eq} } = \frac{N}{k}[/tex]

Tcritical at 99%, df = n-1, 22 - 1 = 21
Tcritical = 2.831
Margin of Error = 2.831 * (5.21/√22) = 3.145
Confidence interval = 10.26 ± 3.145
Lower boundary = 10.26 - 3.145 = 7.115
Upper boundary = 10.26 + 3.145 = 13.405
Confidence interval :
(7.115 ; 13.405)
Part B
What is the approximate amount of thrust you need to apply to the lander to keep its velocity roughly constant? Explain why, using Newton's first
law of motion.
Answer:
Force is zero.
Explanation:
According to the Newton's second law, when an object is moving with an acceleration the force acting on the object is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the object.
F = m a
if the object is moving with uniform velocity, the acceleration is zero, and thus, the force is also zero.
Answer: Near the moon’s surface, a thrust over 11,250 N but under 13,500 N would make it travel at a constant vertical velocity.
Explanation: .Newton’s first law of motion states that an object in motion continues to move in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In accordance with this law, the lunar lander moves in a downward direction toward the surface of the moon under the influence of force due to gravity. A thrust somewhere between 11,250 and 13,500 balances this gravitational force out.
