Which is larger: 65 mph (miles per hour) or 120 kph (kilometers per hour)? As a percentage, how much faster is one than the other?
To Find :
Which is larger: 65 mph (miles per hour) or 120 kph (kilometers per hour).
Solution :
We know, 1 mph = 1.61 kph
So, 65 mph = 1.61 × 65 kph
65 mph = 104.65 kph
Since, 65 mph is 104.65 kph which is smaller than 120 kph.
Therefore, 120 kph is faster than 65 mph by ( 120 - 104.65 ) = 15.35 kph.
Two forces F1 = -6.00i + 7.90j and F2 = 6.80i + 5.30j are acting on an object with a mass of m = 4.10 kg. The forces are measured in newtons, i and j are the unit vectors. What is the magnitude of the object's acceleration?
The magnitude of object's acceleration is 3.26m/s².
The mass of the body is 4.10 lg.
The two forces that are acting on the object are F₁ = -6i + 7.9j newton and F₂ = 6.8i + 5.3j Newton.
We know that the force acting on an object is,
F = Ma
Where,
F is the force acting,
M is the mass of the object and,
a is the acceleration of the object.
As we can see, two forces are acting on the body,
We can simplify the forces in x direction and y direction,
The forces are F₁ = -6i + 7.9j N and F₂ = 6.8i + 5.3j N.
So, the total force in x-direction,
Fₓ = (-6+6.8)i
Fₓ = 0.8i
Fᵧ = (7.9+5.3)j
Fᵧ = 13.2j
So, the net force Fₙ on the object is Fₙ = (0.8i + 13.2j) N
Now, putting value of force and mass in the formula,
F = Ma
0.8i + 13.2j = 4.1a
a = 0.19i + 3.21j m/s².
The magnitude of acceleration is,
|a| = √[(0.19)²+(3.21)²]
|a| = 0.361 +10.3
|a| = 3.26m/s².
So, the magnitude of acceleration is 3.26m/s².

An aeroplane is circling above an airport in a horizontal circle at a speed of 400 kmh-1.The banking angle of the wings is 20.What is the radius of the circular path?
Answer: the radius of the circular path is approximately 1637.58 meters.
Explanation:
The centripetal force acting on the airplane is provided by the component of the gravitational force that acts towards the center of the circular path. This component is given by:
F_c = m * g * tan(banking angle)
Where:
F_c is the centripetal force
m is the mass of the airplane
g is the acceleration due to gravity
tan(banking angle) is the tangent of the banking angle
Now, the centripetal force is also given by the formula:
F_c = (m * v^2) / r
Where:
v is the speed of the airplane
r is the radius of the circular path
Equating the two expressions for F_c, we get:
(m * g * tan(banking angle)) = (m * v^2) / r
Canceling out the mass (m) on both sides of the equation, we have:
g * tan(banking angle) = v^2 / r
Solving for r, we get:
r = (v^2) / (g * tan(banking angle))
Substituting the given values:
v = 400 km/h = 400,000 m/h
g = 9.8 m/s^2
banking angle = 20°
Converting the speed to m/s:
v = 400,000 m/h * (1/3600) h/s = 111.11 m/s
Converting the banking angle to radians:
banking angle = 20° * (π/180) rad/° = 0.3491 rad
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
r = (111.11^2) / (9.8 * tan(0.3491))
r ≈ 1637.58 meters
Therefore, the radius of the circular path is approximately 1637.58 meters.

A long, thin metal tube of cross-sectional area 1.60 cm2 is sealed into the top of a hollow cube of edge length 0.150 m. Water fills the cube and extends upward a distance h into the tube. Find h if the water exerts a force of 1.00 103 N on the base of the cube. What is the weight of the water?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
The area of the metal tube = 1.60 cm² = 1.60 × 10⁻⁴ m²
Length of cube L = 0.150 m
The exerted force by water = 1.00 × 10³ N
At the top of the cube;
The force on water is F = pgL
F = 9.8 m/s² × (1000 kg/m³) (0.150 m)(0.150 m)²
F = 33.075 N
∴
\(pgh = \dfrac{F}{A}\)
\(h = \dfrac{F}{Apg}\)
\(h = \dfrac{33.075}{(1.60 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2) \times (1000 \ kg/m^3)(9.8)}\)
h = 21.09 m
The volume of the water V = L³
V = (0.150 m)³
V = 0.003375 m³
weight of the water w = p(V + Ah)
w = 1000 (0.003375 + (1.60 × 10⁻⁴ × 21.09))
w = 6.75 kg

Substituting the value of \(x\) in the equation we get
\(8=10\cos6t\)
\(\Rightarrow 0.8=\cos6t\)
\(\Rightarrow \cos^{-1}0.8=6t\)
\(\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{\cos^{-1}0.8}{6}\) the values here are used found in radians

She throws a ball of 0.2 kg vertically downwards to the floor hoping that the ball, after it bounced on the floor, will hit the the classroom. of She throws the ball with a velocity of 8 m.s-1 from a height of 1,8 m above the floor. Ignore the effects of friction. Write down the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the ball immediately after ball left her hand. ( Is the ball in free fall while it moves downwards? Answer YES or NO and give an explana for the answer. Calculate the magnitude of the velocity with which the ball hits the floor.
2.1. The acceleration of the ball immediately after it leaves the girl's hand is -9.8 m/s², directed downwards.
2.2. Yes, the ball is in free fall while it moves downwards. This is because the only force acting on the ball is gravity, which is a constant downward force.
How to calculate the magnitude of velocity?The magnitude of the velocity with which the ball hits the floor can be calculated using the equation v² = u² + 2as, where u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, v is the final velocity, and so is the distance traveled. In this case, u = 8 m/s, a = -9.8 m/s², and s = 1.8 m. Plugging these values into the equation, we get v = √ (8² - 2 × (-9.8) × 1.8) = √ (64 + 35.28) = √ (99.28) = 9.96 m/s.The time it takes for the ball to hit the floor can be calculated using the equation t = (v-u)/a, where t is the time, v is the final velocity, a is the acceleration and u is the initial velocity. In this case, v = 9.96 m/s, u = 8 m/s, and a = -9.8 m/s². Plugging these values into the equation, we get t = (9.96 - 8)/-9.8 = 1.97 s.

What is the charge of the particle on an aluminum rod with a 0.946 that you pass between the poles of a 0.41-T permanent magnet at a speed of 4.05 m/s at a 90o angle?
The charge of the particle on the aluminum rod is 9.26 x 10^-6 C.
When a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force known as the Lorentz force. The Lorentz force is given by the equation F = qvBsinθ, where F is the force, q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity of the particle, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector.
In this scenario, an aluminum rod with a mass of 0.946 g is passed between the poles of a 0.41-T permanent magnet at a speed of 4.05 m/s at a 90o angle. Since aluminum is a conductor, it is expected that electrons in the metal will be free to move, allowing for a current to flow through the rod.
We can calculate the charge of the particle by using the equation F = ma, where F is the Lorentz force, m is the mass of the particle, and a is the acceleration of the particle.
The acceleration of the aluminum rod can be calculated using the equation a = F/m. Since the rod is moving at a constant velocity, the force due to air resistance can be ignored. Therefore, the force acting on the rod is solely due to the Lorentz force. Thus, we can write: a = F/m = qvBsinθ/m, Solving for q, we get: q = ma/vBsinθ = (0.946 x 10^-3 kg x 4.05 m/s)/(0.41 T x sin90o) = 9.26 x 10^-6 C.
Therefore, the charge of the particle on the aluminum rod is 9.26 x 10^-6 C.

circular path. The object's centripetal
acceleration remains constant in
(1) magnitude, only
(2) direction, only
(3) both magnitude and direction
(4) neither magnitude nor direction
Answer:
both magnitude and direction
Explanation:
When an object moves in a circular path, its motion is called uniform circular motion. In this motion, the force acting on it is centripetal force and it is moving under centripetal acceleration. This type of force acts towards the centre of the circle.
In this type of motion, the speed remains constant while the velocity keeps on changing. The object's centripetal acceleration remains constant in magnitude as well as direction.
Hence, the correct option is (3).
If an object is moving with constant speed in the circular path the object's centripetal acceleration remains constant in both magnitude and direction
The formula for calculating the centripetal acceleration of an object is expressed as:
\(a =\frac{v^2}{r}\)
v is the speed of the objectr is the radius of the circular pathIf the speed of the object is constant, the acceleration is of the body is also constant.Hence if an object is moving with constant speed in the circular path the object's centripetal acceleration remains constant in both magnitude and direction

if a wave has to travel 600 m and its wavelength is 0.4 m, with a frequency of 500 Hz. How much time will it take for the wave to travel 600 m?
Answer: 3 s
Explanation:
i took the test in physics :)
The time taken by the wave to travel the distance is 3 seconds.
What is meant by frequency of a wave ?
Frequency of a wave is defined as the number of oscillations or cycles completed by the wave within one second.
Here,
Distance travelled by the wave, d = 600 m

what are the conditions under which the resultant of three coplanar forces is zero?
A person is trying to tighten a bolt of mass 1 kg using a wrench of mass 6 kg and length
15 cm by applying a force of 12 N as shown in the diagram below. What is the torque
applied?
Answer:
0.18 Nm
Explanation:
Note: Torque is independent of the mass of a body.
From the question,
T = F×d.......................Equation 1
Where T = Torque, F = force applied to the wrench, d = length of the wrench.
Given: F = 12 N, d = 15 cm = 0.015 m
Substitute into equation 1
T = 12(0.015)
T = 0.18 Nm.
Hence the torque applied is 0.18 Nm
