Answer:

A) P.E = 138.44 J

B) The velocity of swing at bottom, v = 3.33 m/s

C) The work done, W = -138.44 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the child, m = 25 Kg

The length of the swing rope, L = 2.2 m

The angle of the swing to the vertical position, ∅ = 42°

A) The potential energy at the initial position ∅ = 42° is given by the relation

                               P.E = mgh joule

Considering h  = 0 for the vertical position

The h at ∅ = 42° is  h = L (1 - cos∅)

                              P.E = mgL (1 - cos∅)

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              P.E = 25 x 9.8 x 2.2 (1 - cos42°)

                                     = 138.44 J

The potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared to the potential energy at the bottom of the swing is, P.E = 138.44 J

B) The velocity of the swing at the bottom.

At bottom of the swing the P.E is completely transformed into the K.E

                 ∴                 K.E = P.E

                                    1/2 mv² = 138.44

                                    1/2 x 25 x v² 138.44

                                           v² = 11.0752

                                            v = 3.33 m/s

The velocity of the swing at the bottom is, v = 3.33 m/s

C) The work done by the tension in the rope from initial position to the bottom

            Tension on string, T = Force acting on the swing, F

                           =

                           = - 2.2 x 25 x 9.8 [cos0 - cos 42°]

                           = - 138.44 J

The negative sign in the in energy is that the work done is towards the gravitational force of attraction.

The work done by the tension in the ropes as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom of the swing, W = - 138.44 J

The top surface of the oil on that side of the tube is 0.6 times higher than the surface of the water on the other side of the tube.

The principle of hydrostatics, also known as Pascal's principle, states that when an external pressure is applied to a fluid in a container, that pressure is transmitted uniformly in all directions within the fluid, regardless of the shape or volume of the container. In other words, the pressure applied to a confined fluid will be distributed evenly throughout the fluid and will not change in magnitude at any point within the fluid. This principle is important in a number of applications, such as hydraulic systems, which use fluids to transmit force and pressure from one point to another. It is also used to explain how liquids exert pressure on the walls of their container and how objects can float or sink in fluids.

We can use the principles of hydrostatics to solve this problem. Let's call the height difference between the two water surfaces h. We can assume that the oil completely covers the water on one side of the tube and does not mix with it, so the oil and water form two separate liquid columns with a common interface. Let's call the height difference between the oil and water surfaces on the same side of the tube H.

The pressure at any given point in a fluid depends only on the depth of that point below the surface of the fluid and the density of the fluid. Since the two water columns are at the same height, they experience the same pressure from the atmosphere. Similarly, the two oil columns experience the same pressure from the atmosphere.

Now consider a point on the interface between the oil and water on the same side of the tube. This point is at a depth of h+H below the water surface on the other side of the tube, so the pressure at this point is greater than atmospheric pressure by an amount equal to the product of the density of water, the acceleration due to gravity, and the total depth (h+H):

P = Patm + ρwatergh

where P is the pressure at the interface, Patm is atmospheric pressure, ρwater is the density of water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h+H is the total depth.

Similarly, the pressure at this point is less than atmospheric pressure by an amount equal to the product of the density of oil, the acceleration due to gravity, and the depth of the oil column (H):

P = Patm - ρoilgH

Since the interface between the oil and water is at the same pressure, we can equate these two expressions for P:

Patm + ρwatergh = Patm - ρoilgH

Solving for H, we get:

H = h(ρwater/ρoil)

Substituting the given values, we get:

H = 0.6h

Therefore, the top surface of the oil on that side of the tube is 0.6 times higher than the surface of the water on the other side of the tube.

Answer:

[tex]80\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}[/tex].

Explanation:

The frequency [tex]f[/tex] of a wave is the number of cycles completed in unit time ([tex]1\; {\rm s}[/tex] in this example.) In this question, [tex]f = 40\; {\rm s^{-1}}[/tex] ([tex]1\; {\rm Hz} = 1\; {\rm s^{-1}}[/tex]) means that the wave would complete [tex]40[/tex] cycles in every [tex]1\; {\rm s}[/tex].

The wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] of a wave is the distance the wave travels in each cycle. It is given that [tex]\lambda = 2\; {\rm m}[/tex].

The goal is to find the wave speed, which is the distance that this wave travels in unit time ([tex]1\; {\rm s}[/tex].)

In this question, it is given that [tex]\lambda = 2\; {\rm m}[/tex] and [tex]f = 40\; {\rm s^{-1}}[/tex]. Thus, this wave would travel a total of [tex]40\, (2\; {\rm m}) = 80\; {\rm m}[/tex] for the [tex]40[/tex] cycles completed in each unit time of [tex]1\; {\rm s}[/tex] ([tex]\lambda = 2\; {\rm m}[/tex] for each cycle.) The speed of this wave would be [tex]80\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}[/tex].

Formally, the speed [tex]v[/tex] of this wave can be found by multiplying the wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] of this wave by its frequency [tex]f[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}v &= \lambda\, f \\ &= (2\; {\rm m})\, (40\; {\rm s^{-1}) \\ &= 80\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}[/tex].

The Universe became dominated by matter instead of radiation at a redshift of around 3300.

To determine at what redshift the Universe became dominated by matter, we need to find the redshift at which the energy density of matter becomes equal to the energy density of radiation.

Let's start with the energy density of radiation, which can be calculated using the Stefan-Boltzmann law:

$[tex]u_{rad} = \frac{4\sigma}{c}T^4$[/tex]

where $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, $c$ is the speed of light, and $T$ is the temperature of the radiation. Since we are assuming that the cosmic microwave radiation is a black-body radiation, we can use the temperature of 2.73 K, which corresponds to the peak of the radiation curve:

[tex]$u_{rad} = \frac{4\sigma}{c}(2.73K)^4 \approx 0.261 \text{ eV/cm}^3$[/tex]

Next, let's calculate the energy density of matter. We know that the number density of baryons is [tex]$n_b \approx \frac{1}{10^9}n_{\gamma}$, where $n_{\gamma}$[/tex] is the number density of photons. Since we are assuming that the photon-to-baryon ratio is constant, we can write:

[tex]$\frac{\rho_b}{\rho_{\gamma}} = \frac{m_b n_b}{\frac{4}{3}\sigma T^4} = \frac{3m_b}{4\sigma T^3 n_{\gamma}} \approx \frac{3m_b}{4\sigma T^3}\frac{1}{n_{\gamma}}$[/tex]

where $m_b$ is the mass of a baryon. Substituting the values, we get:

[tex]$\frac{\rho_b}{\rho_{\gamma}} \approx 4.15 \times 10^{-10}$[/tex]

Since the total energy density of the Universe is given by:

[tex]$\rho_{tot} = \rho_b + \rho_{\gamma}$[/tex]

we can write:

[tex]$\frac{\rho_b}{\rho_{tot}} = \frac{\rho_b}{\rho_b + \rho_{\gamma}} \approx \frac{\rho_b}{\rho_{\gamma}} = 4.15 \times 10^{-10}$[/tex]

At the redshift $z$, the energy density of radiation will be diluted by a factor of $[tex](1+z)^4[/tex]$, while the energy density of matter will be diluted by a factor of $[tex](1+z)^3[/tex]$. Thus, at some redshift $z$, we will have:

$  [tex]\frac{\rho_b}{\rho_{tot}} = \frac{\rho_b}{\rho_b + \rho_{\gamma}} = \frac{1}{1+z}\frac{3m_b}{4\sigma T^3 n_{\gamma}}[/tex]   $

Setting this equal to the value we calculated above, we can solve for $z$:

$   [tex]\frac{1}{1+z}\frac{3m_b}{4\sigma T^3 n_{\gamma}} \approx 4.15 \times 10^{-10}[/tex]  $

$  [tex]1+z \approx \frac{3m_b}{4\sigma T^3 n_{\gamma}}\frac{1}{4.15 \times 10^{-10}}[/tex]  $

$ [tex]z \approx 3300[/tex] $

Therefore, the Universe became dominated by matter instead of radiation at a redshift of around 3300.

The force needed to lift the 1800 kg car with the small piston is 2,649 N or approximately 270 kg (since 1 kg is equal to 9.81 N).  

The hydraulic lift works based on Pascal's principle, which states that the pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid.

Assuming there is no loss of energy due to friction or other factors, the force exerted on the small piston will be equal to the force exerted on the large piston. This can be expressed as:

F1/A1 = F2/A2

where F1 is the force exerted on the large piston, A1 is the area of the large piston, F2 is the force exerted on the small piston (which we want to find), and A2 is the area of the small piston.

We can rearrange this equation to solve for F2:

F2 = (F1/A1) x A2

Given that the area of the large piston is 100 cm², we can calculate the force exerted on the large piston by using the weight of the car and the gravitational acceleration:

F1 = m x g = 1800 kg x 9.81 m/s² = 17,658 N

Substituting the values into the equation, we get:

F2 = (17,658 N / 100 cm2) x 15 cm² = 2,649 N

Therefore, the force needed to lift the 1800 kg car with the small piston is 2,649 N or approximately 270 kg (since 1 kg is equal to 9.81 N).

The above has to do with the study of the earth's lithospheric plates. See the attached image and the explanation below.

The movement of lithospheric plates is a geological process that occurs due to the motion of hot, molten material in the Earth's mantle. The lithosphere, which is the rigid outer layer of the Earth's surface, is divided into several large plates that move relative to each other.

These movements are caused by the convection of material in the mantle and the forces that arise at the boundaries between the plates.

There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart from each other, creating new oceanic crust. Convergent boundaries arise where plates collide, leading to subduction, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other.

The movement of lithospheric plates gives rise to various geological phenomena, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges and ocean basins.

The speed of the waves can be expressed to two significant figures as 0.2 m/s. The unit for this expression is meters per second (m/s).

A wave crest is the highest point of a wave. It is the top of the wave, where the wave is moving most up and away from the equilibrium position. It is the point of highest amplitude (height) of the wave and is followed by a wave trough, which is the lowest point of the wave.

The speed of the waves can be calculated using the formula speed = distance over time.

We know the distance between wave crests is 9.0 m and the time it takes for 12 waves to pass the boat is 45 s. Therefore, the speed of the waves can be calculated as:

We know that the mass of the block is 0.35 kg and that its initial temperature is -27.5 ºC. We also know that the mass of water is 0.217 kg and that its initial temperature is 25.0 ºC.

When they come to equilibrium at 16.4 ºC, we can calculate how much heat was transferred from the water to the block:

q = mcΔT q = (0.217 kg)(4186 J/kg ºC)(25.0 ºC - 16.4 ºC) q = 1825 J

This amount of heat was transferred from the water to the block, so we can set it equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the block:

q = mcΔT 1825 J = (0.35 kg)c(16.4 ºC - (-27.5 ºC)) 1825 J = (0.35 kg)c(43.9 ºC) c = 148 J/kg ºC

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the block is 148 J/kg ºC.

Answer: d. increase

Explanation:

If the sun were more massive, the gravitational force between the sun and Earth would increase. This means that Earth's gravity with the sun would also increase. Therefore, the correct answer is (D) increase.

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So, if the mass of one of the objects increases, the gravitational force between them will also increase. In this case, if the mass of the sun were to increase, the gravitational force between the sun and Earth would become stronger, and hence, Earth's gravity with the sun would also increase.

The original temperature of the mercury is 260.6K

To solve this problem, we can use the formula for the heat released during the solidification of a substance:

Q = m * Lf

where Q is the heat released, m is the mass of the substance, and Lf is the heat of fusion of the substance.

In this case, Q = 157 kJ, m = 5.00 kg, and Lf = 11.3 kJ/kg.

We also need to use the formula for the heat absorbed or released during a temperature change:

Q = m * c * ΔT

where Q is the heat absorbed or released, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

We can use this formula to calculate the heat released as the mercury cools from its original temperature to its melting point, and then use the formula for solidification to calculate the heat released as the mercury solidifies.

Let T be the original temperature of the mercury.

The heat released as the mercury cools from its original temperature to its melting point is:

Q1 = m * c * (T - 234)

The heat released as the mercury solidifies is:

Q2 = m * Lf

The total heat released is:

Q = Q1 + Q2 = m * c * (T - 234) + m * Lf

Substituting the values given in the problem, we get:

157 kJ = 5.00 kg * 140 J/kg . K * (T - 234) + 5.00 kg * 11.3 kJ/kg

Simplifying and solving for T, we get:

T = 260.6 K

Therefore, the original temperature of the mercury was 260.6 K.
