when a ball is dropped off a cliff in free fall, it has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2. what is its acceleration as it gets closer to the ground

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: acceleration due to gravity is contract for the purposes of this question, so the acceleration would remain at 9.8 m/s^2
Answer 2
Answer:

If the ball, the cliff, and the ground are all on the Earth, and everything is bathed in an ocean of air, then the ball's acceleration will decrease as it falls, because of the friction of air resistance.  If it has far enough to fall, it's possible that its acceleration may even become zero, and the ball settle on a constant speed (called "terminal velocity") before it hits the ground.

But until we get to College-level Physics and Engineering, we ALWAYS ignore that stuff, and assume NO AIR RESISTANCE.  The ball is in FREE FALL, and the ONLY force acting on it is the force of gravity.   We also assume that the distance of the fall is small enough so that the value of gravity is constant over the entire fall.

Under those assumptions, there's nothing present to change the acceleration of the falling ball.  It's 9.81 m/s² when it rolls off the edge of the cliff, and it's 9.81 m/s² when it hits the ground.

Consider the interactions involved when you use a TV remote control to change the channel. Classify each interaction as long range or short range.

Answers

Explanation:

Following are two interactions that are generally involved when we use a TV remote control to change the channel :

1. Figure touches remote buttons, and its a short range interaction.

2. Now remote sends signal to Television, this is a long range interaction.

Final answer:

The interactions of a TV remote and the TV involve short-range infrared communication, while the TV receives signals from long-range electromagnetic waves broadcasted for channels in frequency ranges for VHF and UHF.

Explanation:

When you use a TV remote control to change the channel, two main interactions are involved. The first interaction is the infrared communication between the remote and the TV, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared signals require a direct line of sight, operating over a relatively short range. On the other hand, the TV itself receives broadcast signals through antennas that capture electromagnetic waves broadcasted over a long range - these signals can be VHF or UHF TV channels.

Additionally, the TV channels are broadcasted on frequencies ranging from 54 to 88 MHz and 174 to 222 MHz for VHF, while UHF channels utilize frequencies from 470 to 1000 MHz. These signals are sent over a significant distance to your TV’s antenna, showing that television broadcast interaction is long range. These broadcast signals are part of electromagnetic spectrum and carry a large range of frequencies due to the variety of content (audio and visual information) that needs to be transmitted.

2. Turn on Show current and select Electron flow. The moving dots represent a current of electrons—tiny, negatively charged particles—moving through the wire. Voltage is a measure of how much more potential energy an electron at one end of a battery has than an electron at the other end of the battery. A. How does changing the battery’s voltage affect the current? It makes the current get more electrons which causes more movement

Answers

Answer:

Changing the battery's voltage will also change the flow of electrons through the circuit. An increase in the voltage will produce more electron movement, and a reduction in the voltage will produce less electron movement.

Explanation:

The voltage is the potential energy between two points in an electric circuit. It is also the work done per unit charge to move a charge between these two points, this work is done against the resistance (analogous to frictional forces in the wire) of the wire. The potential energy is like the push required to move an electron through an electric circuit, and negatively charged particle (electron in the case of the wire) are pulled towards the higher potential, which is conventionally at the positive terminal. Current (flow of electrons) will not occur without any potential between two points.

Changing the battery's voltage will change the push that is experienced by the electrons. If the potential is increased, the electrons will experience more push, which means there will be more movement or flow of electrons through the circuit. Reducing the battery's voltage reduces the push experienced by the electrons; meaning a reduced flow or movement of these electrons through the circuit.

An emf is induced by rotating a 1207 turn, 20.0 cm diameter coil in the Earth's 4.13 10-5 T magnetic field. What average emf is induced, given the plane of the coil is originally perpendicular to the Earth's field and is rotated to be parallel to the field in 10.0 ms

Answers

Answer:

0.157 V

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of turns, N = 1207

Diameter of coil = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Radius of coil, r = 0.2/2 = 0.1 m

Magnetic field strength, B = 4.13 * 10^(-5) T

Time interval, t = 10 ms = 10 * 10^(-3) = 0.01 s

The average EMF induced in a coil due to a magnetic field is given as:

EMF = (- N * A * B)/(t)

where A = Area of coil

A = πr^(2)

Therefore, EMF will be:

EMF = (- 1207 * 3.142 * 0.1^2 * 4.13 * 10^(-5))/(0.01) \n\n\nEMF = -0.157 V\n

Two microwave frequencies are authorized for use in microwave ovens: 895 and 2560 mhz. calculate the wavelength of each.

Answers

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

The speeds of the two possible signals are equal, just like
all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.

Wavelength of 895 MHz = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (8.95 x 10⁸/s) = 0.335 m

Wavelength of 2560 MHz = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (2.56 x 10⁹/s) =  0.117 m

1. Two charges Q1( + 2.00 μC) and Q2( + 2.00 μC) are placed along the x-axis at x = 3.00 cm and x=-3 cm. Consider a charge Q3 of charge +4.00 μC and mass 10.0 mg moving along the y-axis. If Q3 starts from rest at y = 2.00 cm, what is its speed when it reaches y = 4.00 cm?

Answers

Answer:

speed when it reaches y = 4.00cm is

v = 14.9 g.m/s

Explanation:

given

q₁=q₂ =2.00 ×10⁻⁶

distance along x = 3.00cm= 3×10⁻²

q₃= 4×10⁻⁶C

mass= 10×10 ⁻³g

distance along y = 4×10⁻²m

r₁ = \sqrt{3^(2) +2^(2)  } = √(13) = 3.61cm = 0.036m

r₂ = \sqrt{4^(2) + 3^(2)  } = √(25) = 5cm = 0.05m

electric potential V = (kq)/(r)

change in potential ΔV = V_(1) - V_(2)

ΔV = (2kq_(1) )/(r_(1)) - (2kq_(2) )/(r_(2) ) , where q_(1) = q_(2)=2.00μC

ΔV = 2kq((1)/(r_(1)) - (1)/(r_(2) ))

ΔV = 2 × 9×10⁹ × 2×10⁻⁶ × ((1)/(0.036) - (1)/(0.05) )

ΔV= 2.789×10⁵

(1)/(2)mv^(2) = ΔV × q₃

(1)/(2) ˣ 10×10⁻³ ×v² = 2.789×10⁵× 4 ×10⁻⁶

v² = 223.12 g.m/s

v = 14.9 g.m/s

The speed of the charge q₃ when it starts from rest at y = 2 cm and reaches y = 4 cm is; v = 14.89 m/s

We are given;

Charge 1; q₁ = 2.00 μC = 2 × 10⁻⁶ C

Charge 2; q₂ = 2.00 μC = 2 × 10⁻⁶ C

Distance of charge 1 along x = 3 cm = 3 × 10⁻² m

Distance of charge 2 along x = -3 cm = -3 × 10⁻² m

Charge 3; q₃ = +4.00 μC  = 4 × 10⁻⁶ C

mass; m = 0.01 g

distance of charge 3 along y = 4 cm = 4 × 10⁻² m

q₃ starts from rest at y = 2 × 10⁻² m and reaches y = 4 × 10⁻² m.

Thus;

Distance of charge 1 from the initial position of q₃;

r₁ = √((3 × 10⁻²)² + ((2 × 10⁻²)²)

r₁ = 0.0361 m

Distance of charge 2 from the final position of q₃;

r₂ = √((3 × 10⁻²)² + ((4 × 10⁻²)²)

r₂ = 0.05 m

Now, formula for electric potential is;

V = kq/r

Where k = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/s²

Thus,change in potential is;

ΔV = V₁ - V₂

Now, Net V₁ = 2kq₁/r₁

Net V₂ = 2kq₂/r₂

Thus;

ΔV = 2kq₁/r₁ - 2kq₂/r₂

ΔV = (2 × 9 × 10⁹)[(2 × 10⁻⁶/0.0361) - (2 × 10⁻⁶/0.05)]

ΔV = 277229.92 V

Now, from conservation of energy;

½mv² = q₃ΔV

Thus;

½ × 0.01 × v² = 4 × 10⁻⁶ × 277229.92

v² = 2 × 4 × 10⁻⁶ × 277229.92/0.01

v = √(221.783936)

v = 14.89 m/s
