Image Description

The image is a graph titled “Position vs. Time.” It depicts a curve showing how position changes over time. The horizontal axis is labeled “Time (s)” and spans from 0 to 6 seconds, with intervals marked at each second. The vertical axis is labeled “Position (m)” and ranges from 0 to 60 meters, with intervals marked every 10 meters.

The graph is a curve that begins at the origin (0, 0) and rises steadily, illustrating an acceleration. Data points marked by diamonds are plotted along the curve at various points, indicating that the object’s position increases more rapidly as time progresses.

(c) This result does not really make sense. If the runner starts at

(a) 7.7 m/s

about 3 times the deceleration of the pilots, who were falling from
thousands of meters high!

37.

(a) 32.6 m/s2

(b) 162 m/s

(c) v > vmax,
because the assumption of constant acceleration is not valid for a
dragster. A dragster changes gears, and would have a greater
acceleration in first gear than second gear than third gear, etc. The
acceleration would be greatest at the beginning, so it would not be
accelerating at 32.6 m/s2
during the last few meters, but substantially less, and the final
velocity would be less than 162 m/s.

distance y to top of
trajectory, where velocity is zero. Use equation v2 = v02 + 2a(y − y0)
because it contains all known values except for y, so we can solve for y. Solving for y gives

[latex]\begin{align*}v^2-v^2_0&=2a\left(y-y_0\right)\\[1.5ex]\frac{v^2-v^2_0}{2a}&=y-y_0\\[1.5ex]y&=y_0+\frac{v^2-v^2_0}{2a}=0\text{m}+\frac{\left(0\text{m/s}\right)^2-\left(13.0\text{m/s}\right)^2}{2\left(-9.80\text{m/s}\right)^2}=8.62\text{m}\end{align*}[/latex]

Dolphins measure about 2 meters long and can jump several times their
length out of the water, so this is a reasonable result.

Image Description

The image is a diagram illustrating a projectile motion scenario. It shows a side view of a surface with two distinct levels. The left side is a raised platform with a vertical drop to the lower level on the right. An arrow, labeled with an “S”, begins from the top of the platform, arcs upward, and then downward to the lower level, indicating the trajectory of a projectile. There are two labels: “y0 = ?” near the top of the platform, prompting the initial vertical position, and “y = 0 m” on the lower level, indicating the final vertical position is at ground level.

image

Image Description

The image is a graph titled “Position vs. Time” showing the relationship between time in seconds (x-axis) and position in kilometers (y-axis). The x-axis ranges from 0 to 25 seconds, while the y-axis ranges from 4.68 to 4.82 kilometers. A red line with two data points illustrates the position increasing over time. Initially, the line is relatively flat from 0 to about 9 seconds, indicating a slower change in position. From 9 to 21 seconds, the line curves upward, suggesting an acceleration in the change of position.

(c)
imagegn: center;”>

Image Description

The image is a graph with two lines representing different functions. The graph has an X-axis labeled as x and a Y-axis labeled as V. There are two important lines on the graph:

  • A horizontal blue line labeled as VB, which represents the constant value V0 and runs parallel to the X-axis.
  • A slanted maroon line labeled as VA, which starts at the origin (0,0) and increases linearly to reach 2V0 at tA.

The Y-axis is marked at two points: V0 and 2V0. There is also a dashed line extending horizontally from the point where the slanted line reaches 2V0 down to the X-axis at tA. The background is a light beige color.

Image Description

The image is a physics diagram representing forces acting on a mass. In the center, there is a circle labeled with the letter “m” to denote mass. There are three arrows indicating forces acting on this mass:

  • An upward arrow labeled “T” representing tension.
  • A downward arrow labeled “f” representing force, likely friction or another opposing force.
  • A downward arrow labeled “mg” representing the gravitational force, where “m” is mass and “g” is the acceleration due to gravity.

23.

Fnet = T − f − mg = ma,

so that

    Image Description

    The image is a physics diagram illustrating forces acting on a mass. In the center, there is a circle labeled with the letter “m,” representing mass. There are two arrows extending vertically from this circle:

    • An upward arrow on the left side is labeled “F,” indicating a force applied upwards.
    • A downward arrow on the left side is labeled “w,” representing the weight acting downwards.

    To the right of the circle, there is another upward arrow labeled “a,” representing acceleration in the upward direction.

  • Find: F.
  1. F=+F − w = ma, so
    that F = ma + w = ma + mg = m(a + g).
  • F = (70.0 kg)[(39.2
    m/s2) + (9.80
    m/s2)] = 3.43 × 103N. The force exerted by
    the high-jumper is actually down on the ground, but F is up from the ground and makes
    him jump.
  1. This result is reasonable, since it is quite possible for a
    person to exert a force of the magnitude of 103 N.

  2. Draw a free-body diagram: image
    Image Description

    The image depicts a diagram with three arrows forming angles with a horizontal dashed line. The central arrow points vertically downward, creating a vertical line which intersects the horizontal dashed line. Two additional arrows extend from the intersection point, pointing downward and outward at symmetrical angles. These two arrows are each labeled with “15°”, indicating that they form a 15-degree angle with the horizontal dashed line. The overall formation resembles an inverted and narrow ‘V’ shape with the central vertical arrow splitting the ‘V’.

  3. The tension is given as T = 25.0 N. Find Fapp. Using Newton’s laws
    gives: Σ Fy = 0, so
    that applied force is due to the y-components of the two
    tensions: Fapp = 2 T sinθ = 2(25.0
    N)sin(15º) = 12.9 N
  • The x-components of the tension cancel. ∑Fx = 0.

    greater than the force applied to the tooth.

b) This is slightly, but measurably, smaller than the accepted value,
differing in the third significant digit. The equation we used to find
g assumes a sphere, but we already noted that the radius at the

Image Description

The image is a graph on a light beige background illustrating the equation w = kx2. The graph features two axes: the horizontal axis labeled as x and the vertical axis labeled as w. The curve on the graph starts at the origin (0,0) and curves upward, showing an exponential growth pattern consistent with a quadratic function. To the right of the curve, the equation w = kx2 is displayed, emphasizing the relationship between w and x in the context of the graph.

Now, using equation:

$$\frac{F_{1}}{A_{1}} =
\frac{F_{2}}{A_{2}} \Rightarrow F_{\text{o}} = F_{\text{i}}\left(
\frac{A_{\text{o}}}{A_{\text{i}}} \right)\text{.}$$

Finally,

$$W_{\text{o}} = F_{\text{o}}d_{\text{o}}
= \left( \frac{F_{\text{i}}A_{\text{o}}}{A_{\text{i}}} \right)\left(
\frac{d_{\text{i}}A_{\text{i}}}{A_{\text{o}}} \right) =
F_{\text{i}}d_{\text{i}} = W_{\text{i}}.$$

In other words, the work output equals the work input.

(b) If the system is not moving, friction would not play a role. With
friction, we know there are losses, so that Wout = Win − Wf;
therefore, the work output is less than the work input. In other words,
with friction, you need to push harder on the input piston than was
calculated for the nonfriction case.

We know how the length changes with temperature: ΔL = αL0ΔT.
Also we know that the volume of a cube is related to its length by V = L3, so the
final volume is then V = V0 + ΔV = (L0 + ΔL)3.
Substituting for ΔL gives

V = (L0 + αL0ΔT)3 = L03(1 + αΔT)3.

Now, because αΔT
is small, we can use the binomial expansion:

V ≈ L03(1 + 3αΔT) = L03 + 3αL03ΔT.

So writing the length terms in terms of volumes gives V = V0 + ΔV ≈ V0 + 3αV0ΔT,
and so

ΔV = βV0ΔT ≈ 3αV0ΔT, or β ≈ 3α.

(b) A pure white object reflects more of the radiant energy that hits it, so a white tent would prevent more of the sunlight from heating up the inside of the tent, and the white tunic would prevent that heat which entered the tent from heating the rider. Therefore, with a white tent, the temperature would be lower than 48.5ºC, and the rate of radiant heat transferred to the rider would be less than 20.0 W.

(b) This is equivalent to 12 million cubic feet of air per second.
That is tremendous. This is too large to be dissipated by heating the air by only 5ºC. Many of these cooling towers use the circulation of cooler air over warmer water to increase the rate of evaporation. This would allow much smaller amounts of air necessary to remove such a large amount of heat because evaporation removes larger quantities of heat than was considered in part (a).

(c) The transmission lines dissipate more power than they are
supposed to transmit.

(d) A voltage of 480 V is unreasonably low for a transmission
voltage. Long-distance transmission lines are kept at much higher voltages (often hundreds of kilovolts) to reduce power losses.

(a) [latex]\begin{align*}\frac{3.25\times 10^{-3}}{1}\text{j/s}&=Power=I^2R=\frac{1}{r^2}\frac{\left(2.50\right)^2\left(1.72\times 10^{-8}\right)\left(1.25\right)}{\pi}\text{jm}^2/\text{s}\\[1.5ex]r&=\sqrt{\frac{\left(2.50\right)^2\left(1.72\times 10^{-8}\right)\left(1.25\right)}{0.00325\pi}}=3.63\;\text{mm}\end{align*}[/latex]

(b) [latex]Power = \frac{(2.50)^{2}\left( 1.74 \times 10^{- 8} \right)(1.25)}{\left( 3.63 \times 10^{- 3} \right)^{2}\pi}\text{j/s}[/latex], so 3.28 j of energy is expended in 1
s. Since α is specified in the
chart to only two significant figures, round to 3.3 j.

(c) Since the energy dissipation is directly proportional to the
resistivity, the increase of 0.01% in energy dissipation is when the
resistivity increases 1%. Or, 1.01 = 1 + 0.0039ΔT. T = 23C.

9.

(a) 3.01 × 10−5 T

(b) This is slightly less then the magnetic field strength of 5 × 10−5 T at the surface of the
Earth, so it is consistent.

11.

(a) 6.67 × 10−10 C

(a) 1.18 × 10 3 m/s

(b) Once established, the Hall emf pushes charges one direction and
the magnetic force acts in the opposite direction resulting in no net
force on the charges. Therefore, no current flows in the direction of
the Hall emf. This is the same as in a current-carrying
conductor—current does not flow in the direction of the Hall emf.

3.48 × 10−26 N ⋅ m

49.

(a) 0.666 N ⋅ m west

(b) This is not a very significant torque, so practical use would be
limited. Also, the current would need to be alternated to make the loop
rotate (otherwise it would oscillate).

50.

(b) This force is repulsive and therefore there is never a risk that
the two wires will touch and short circuit.

(b) Zero

(c) If the wires are not paired, the field is about 10 times stronger
than Earth’s magnetic field and so could severely disrupt the use of a
compass.

(b) Impossible to have such a large separated charge on such a small
object.

(c) The 1.00-N force is much too great to be realistic in the Earth’s
field.

87.

(a) 2.40 × 106 m/s

(b) The speed is too high to be practical ≤ 1% speed of light

(c) The assumption that you could reasonably generate such a voltage
with a single wire in the Earth’s field is unreasonable

89.

(a) 25.0 kA

(b) This current is unreasonably high. It implies a total power
delivery in the line of 50.0×10^9 W, which is much too high for standard
transmission lines.

(c)100 meters is a long distance to obtain the required field
strength. Also coaxial cables are used for transmission lines so that
there is virtually no field for DC power lines, because of cancellation
from opposing currents. The surveyor’s concerns are not a problem for
his magnetic field measurements.

92.

(a) F = qvBsin θ
Since sin θ = 0, F = 0 for the
first electron.
For the second and third electrons, sin θ = 1.
So, F = (1.60 × 10−19C)(5.00 × 107m/s)(2.00 × 10−7T) = 1.60 × 10−18N.

(b) The first electron moves in a straight line. The other two
electrons take a circular path.

(c) The first electron will never return to the origin. The other two
will return.
