Answer:

55.3

Explanation:

The computation of the number of bright-dark-bright fringe shifts observed is shown below:

[tex]\triangle m = \frac{2d}{\lambda} (n - 1)[/tex]

where

d = [tex]3.95 \times 10^{-2}m[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = 400 \times 10^{-9}m[/tex]

n = 1.00028

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the  number of bright-dark-bright fringe shifts observed is

[tex]= \frac{2 \times3.95 \times 10^{-2}m}{400 \times 10^{-9}m} (1.00028 - 1)[/tex]

= 55.3

We simply applied the above formula so that the number of bright dark bright fringe shifts could come

Answer:

a population increase

Explanation:

During the 20th century, the world population increased from 1.65 billion to 6 billion. In 1970, the world's population was half that of today. In less than 15 years, 47% of the population will live in areas already under heavy water stress. In Africa, between 75 and 250 million people will face growing shortages in 2020 due to climate change. The scarcity of some arid and semi-arid regions will have a decisive impact on migration.

Answer:

239 N/C

Explanation:

Electric field strength at distance R from a charge Q is given by the expression

E = k Q / R² where Q is charge , R is distance of charge from the point . k is a constant .

R = 40 cm , Q = 4.25 x 10⁻⁹

Putting the given values

E = 9 x 10⁹ x 4.25 x 10⁻⁹ / ( 40 x 10⁻²)²

= 239 N/C .

Answer:

Explanation:

capacitance of air capacitor

C = ε₀ A /  d

ε₀ is permittivity of medium , A is plate area , d is distance between plate .

C = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x 25 x 10⁻⁴ / 1.3 x 10⁻²

= 170.19 x 10⁻¹⁴ F .

charge on the capacitor when it is charged to  potential of 255 V

= CV , C is capacitance and V is potential

= 170.19 x 10⁻¹⁴  x 255

= 4.34 x 10⁻¹⁰ C .

After it is disconnected from the source , and it is immersed in water , charge on it remains the same .

So its charge when immersed in water will be constant at 4.34 x 10⁻¹⁰ C.

b )

When it is immersed in water its capacity increases  k times where k is dielectric constant of water which is 80 .

capacitance of capacitor in water = 80 x 170.19 x 10⁻¹⁴  F

= 13615.2  x 10⁻¹⁴ F .

= 1.36 x 10⁻¹⁰ F

potential difference = charge / capacitance

= 4.34 x 10⁻¹⁰ / 1.36 x 10⁻¹⁰

= 3.2 V

c )

Energy of capacitor = 1/2 C V²

Initial energy = 1/2 x 170.19 x 255² x 10⁻¹⁴

=  55.33 x 10⁻⁹ J

Final energy = 1/2 x 1.36 x 10⁻¹⁰ x 3.2²

= .7  x 10⁻⁹ J .

decrease of energy = 54.63 x 10⁻⁹ J .

Answer:

(a) f = 185 Hz

(b) v = 266.4 m/s

Explanation:

(a) The lowest frequency can be calculated by using the following formula for the calculation of the modes (resonant frequencies) in a string:

[tex]f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}[/tex]

[tex]f_n=nf[/tex]

n: order of the mode

v: velocity of the waves in the string

L: length of the string = 72.0cm = 0.72m

fn: frequency of the n-th mode

With the information about two consecutive modes you can find the lowest resonant frequency. First you find the resonant mode n:

[tex]f_n=nf\\\\f_{n-1}=(n-1)f\\\\\frac{f_n}{f_{n-1}}=\frac{n}{n-1}[/tex]

you solve the previous equation for n:

[tex](n-1)f_n=nf_{n-1}\\\\555n-555=370n\\\\n=3[/tex]

With this information you can calculate the lowest resonant frequency:

[tex]f_n=nf\\\\f=\frac{f_n}{n}=\frac{555}{3}=185Hz[/tex]

b) You have information about two consecutive modes fn, fn-1. Then, you can calculate the velocity of the waves:

[tex]f_{n}-f_{n-1}=n\frac{v}{2L}-(n-1)\frac{v}{2L}\\\\f_n-f_{n-1}=\frac{v}{2L}\\\\v=2L(f_n-f_{n-1})[/tex]

fn = 555 Hz

fn-1: 370 Hz

[tex]v=2(0.72m)(555-370)Hz=266.4\frac{m}{s}[/tex]´

hence, the velocityof the waves in the string is 266.4 m/s

Answer:

vBxf = 0.08625m/s

Explanation:

This is a problem about the momentum conservation law. The total momentum before equals the total momentum after.

[tex]p_f=p_i[/tex]

pf: final momentum

pi: initial momentum

The analysis of the momentum conservation is about a horizontal momentum (x axis). When the quarterback jumps straight up, his horizontal momentum is zero. Then, after the quarterback throw the ball the sum of the momentum of both quarterback and ball must be zero.

Then, you have:

[tex]m_Qv_{Qxi}+m_{Bxi}v_{Bxi}=m_Qv_{Qxf}+m_{Bxf}v_{Bxf}[/tex]    (1)

mQ: the mass of the quarterback = 80kg

mB: the mass of the football = 0.43kg

(vQx)i: the horizontal velocity of quarterback before throwing the ball = 0m/s

(vBx)i: the horizontal velocity of football before being thrown = 0m/s

(vQx)f: the horizontal velocity of quarterback after throwing the ball = ?

(vBx)f: the horizontal velocity of football after being thrown = 15 m/s

You replace the values of the variables in the equation (1), and you solve for (vBx)f:

[tex]0\ kgm/s=-(80kg)(v_{Bxf})+(0.46kg)(15m/s)\\\\v_{Bxf}=\frac{(0.46kg)(15m/s)}{80kg}=0.08625\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Where you have taken the speed of the quarterback as negative because is in the negative direction of the x axis.

Hence, the speed of the quarterback after he throws the ball is 0.08625m/s

From the question we are told that

  The radius of the coil is  [tex]r = 0.30 \ m[/tex]

   The number of turns is  [tex]N = 420 \ turns[/tex]

    The frequency of the transition radio wave is  [tex]f = 1.3\ MHz = 1.3 *10^{6} Hz[/tex]

     The magnetic field is  [tex]B_,{max} = 1.7 * 10^{-13} \ T[/tex]

     The time taken for the magnetic field to go from zero to maximum is [tex]\Delta T = \frac{T}{4}[/tex]

The period of the transmitted radio wave is  [tex]T = \frac{1}{f}[/tex]

    So  

              [tex]\Delta T = \frac{T}{4} = \frac{1}{4 f}[/tex]

 The potential difference can be mathematically represented as

               [tex]V = NA (\frac{\Delta B}{\Delta T} )[/tex]

           [tex]V = NA ([B_{max} - B_{min} ] * 4f)[/tex]

Where  [tex]B_{min} = 0T[/tex]

substituting values

                   [tex]V = 420 * (\pi *(0.30)^2) * (1.7 *10^{-13} * 4 * 1.3 *10^{6})[/tex]

                  [tex]V = 2.625 * 10^{-5} \ V[/tex]

Answer:

The entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

Explanation:

Given;

temperature of the sun, [tex]T_s[/tex] = 5,300 K

temperature of the Earth, [tex]T_E[/tex] = 293 K

radiation energy transferred by the sun to the earth, E = 6000 J

The sun loses Q of heat and therefore decreases its entropy by the amount

[tex]\delta S_{sun} = \frac{-Q}{T_s}[/tex]

The earth gains Q of heat and therefore increases its entropy by the amount

[tex]\delta S_{Earth} = \frac{-Q}{T_E}[/tex]

The total entropy change is:

[tex]\delta S_{Earth} + \delta S_{sun} = \frac{Q}{T_E} -\frac{Q}{T_S} \\\\ = Q(\frac{1}{T_E} -\frac{1}{T_S} )\\\\= 6000(\frac{1}{293} -\frac{1}{5300} )\\\\=6000(0.0032243)\\\\= 19.346 \ J/K[/tex]

Therefore, the entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

Responder: 12000N

Explicación: Usando la fórmula para encontrar la eficiencia de una máquina. Eficiencia = ventaja mecánica / relación de velocidad × 100%

Dado MA = Carga / Esfuerzo

Relación de velocidad = distancia recorrida por esfuerzo (brazo de fuerza) / distancia recorrida por carga (brazo de resistencia)

MA = Carga / 3000

VR = 2 / 0.5 VR = 4

Asumiendo que la eficiencia es 100% 100% = (Carga / 3000) / 4 × 100%

1 = (Carga / 3000) / 4

4 = Carga / 3000

Carga = 4 × 3000

Carga = 12000N

Esto significa que el peso máximo que se puede levantar es 12000N

Explanation:

Now the net force is the applied force minus the frictional force; this is expressed mathematically as:

Fnet= Fappplied - Ffrictional

Now the frictional force is given as ;

Coefficient of friction × normal reaction

Normal reaction is the weight of the human acting in opposite direction.

Normal reaction of the human is ;

35 × 9.8 = 343N { note that weight = m× g and g= 9.8m/S2, a known standard }

Hence the Frictional force =343×0.4 =137.20N

Hence Fnet = 200-137.20 = 62.8N

Fnet = 63N to the nearest whole

The net force on the couch as it slides is  63N.

What is frictional force?

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction force.

The friction force is given by

f = coefficient of friction x Normal force

Given, the coefficient of kinetic friction between a couch and the floor is 0.4. If the couch has a mass of 35 kg and you push it with a force of 200 N.

Normal reaction is the weight of the human acting in opposite direction.

Normal reaction N =35 × 9.8 = 343N

Frictional force f =0.4 x 343

                          f =137.20N

The net force will be

Fnet= Fappplied - Ffrictional

Fnet = 200-137.20 = 62.8N

Fnet = 63N

Thus,  the net force on the couch as it slides is  63N.

Answer:

for an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration. Both the net force and the net torque must be zero.

Hope I helped

Answer:

An object in static equilibrium has zero net force acting upon it.

The First Condition of Equilibrium is that the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body vanishes. This can be written as

 F = F1+ F2+ F3+ F4+. . . = 0

Answer:

i) angle of incidence;i = 29.43°

ii) δm = 38.92°

Explanation:

Prism is equilateral so angle of prism (A) = 60°

Refractive index of glass; n_glass = 1.52

A) Let's assume the incident angle = i and Critical angle = θc

We know that, sin θc = 1/n

Thus;

sin θc = 1/n_glass

θc = sin^(-1) (1/n_glass)

θc = sin^(-1) (1/1.52)

θc = 41.14°

Now, the angle of prism will be the sum of external angle that is critical angle and reflected angle.

Thus;

A = r + θc

r = A - θc

So;

r = 60° - 41. 14°

r = 18.86°

From, Snell's law. If we apply it to this question, we will have;

(sin i)/(sin r) = n_glass

Where;

i is angle of incidence and r is angle of reflection.

Let's make i the subject;

i = sin^(-1) (n_glass × sin r)

i = sin^(-1) (1.52 × sin 18.86)

i = sin^(-1) 0.4914

i = 29.43°

B) The formula to calculate minimum deviation would be from;

μ = [sin ((A + δm)/2)]/(sin A/2)

Where;

μ is Refractive index

δm is minimum angle of deviation

A is angle of prism

Now Refractive index is given by a formula; μ = (sin i)/(sin r)

So; μ = (sin 29.43)/(sin 18.86)

μ = 1.52

Thus;

1.52 = [sin ((60 + δm)/2)]/(sin 60/2)

1.52 * sin 30 = sin ((60 + δm)/2)

0.76 = sin ((60 + δm)/2)

sin^(-1) 0.76 = ((60 + δm)/2)

49.46 × 2 = (60 + δm)

98.92 - 60 = δm

δm = 38.92°

Answer:

r = 20 m

Explanation:

The formula for the angular momentum of a rotating body is given as:

L = mvr

where,

L = Angular Momentum = 10000 kgm²/s

m = mass

v = speed = 2 m/s

r = radius of merry-go-round

Therefore,

10000 kg.m²/s = mr(2 m/s)

m r = (10000 kg.m²/s)/(2 m/s)

m r = 5000 kg.m   ------------- equation 1

Now, the moment of inertia of a solid uniform disc about its axis through its center is given as:

I = (1/2) m r²

where,

I = moment of inertia = 50000 kg.m²

Therefore,

50000 kg.m² = (1/2)(m r)(r)

using equation 1, we get:

50000 kg.m² = (1/2)(5000 kg.m)(r)

(50000 kg.m²)/(2500 kg.m) = r

r = 20 m

Answer:

The nature of the wave formed is a transverse  progressive wave.

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that travels through a material medium without permanent displacement of the particles of the medium. The two major types are: transverse and longitudinal.

A transverse wave is one in which the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples are: water wave, light wave etc. While a longitudinal wave is one in which the direction of vibrations of the particles of the medium is parallel with the direction of propagation of the wave, creating a region of rarefaction and compression. Examples are; sound wave, wave in a rope, wave in a slinky etc.

The cited wave formed in the given question is a transverse wave because each person stands and sits after some time to create a moving (progressive) wave without them moving from their positions.

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which states that 'the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to their sum after collision. The bodies will move together with a common velocity after collision.

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Before collision;

Momentum of receiver m1u1= 0 kgm/s (since the receiver is standing still)

Momentum of the tackler

m2u2 = 2.60*122 = 317.2 kgm/s

where m2 and u2 are the mass and velocity of the tacker respectively.

Sum of momentum before collision = 0+317.2 = 317.2 kgm/s

After collision

Momentum of the bodies = (m1+m2)v

v = their common velocity

m1 = mass of the receiver

Momentum of the bodies = (122+m1)(1.30)

Momentum of the bodies = 158.6+1.30m1

According to the law above;

317.2 = 158.6+1.30m1

317.2-158.6 = 1.30m1

158.6 = 1.30m1

m1 = 158.6/1.30

m1 = 122kg

The mas of the receiver is 122kg

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the sled (m) = 9 kg

Acceleration of the sled (a) = 2.10 m/s ²

Spring constant (k) = 115 N/m

Computation:

Tension force in the spring  (T) = ma

Tension force in the spring  (T) = 9 × 2.10

Tension force in the spring  (T) = 18.9 N

Tension force in the spring = Spring constant (k) × Stretch in the spring

18.9 N = 115 N  × Stretch in the spring

Stretch in the spring = 18.9 / 115

Stretch in the spring = 0.1643 (Approx)

Answer:

[tex]\vec{F_3}=(-34.0N)\hat{i}+(-12.0N)\hat{j}[/tex]

Explanation:

You have three forces F1, F2 an F3 that produce the following  acceleration:

a = −(8.00m/s^2)ˆi + (6.00m/s^2)ˆj

you know that force F1 and F2 are:

F1 = (30.0N)ˆi + (16.0N)ˆj

F2 = −(12.0N)ˆi + (8.00N)ˆj

and the force F3 is unknown:

F3 = F3x ˆi + F3y ˆj

The second Newton law is given by the following equation:

[tex]\vec{F}=m\vec{a}[/tex]

F: the total force = F1 +F2 + F3

m: mass of the object = 2 kg

By the properties of vectors you have:

[tex]\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}+\vec{F_3}=m\vec{a}\\\\(30.0-12.0+F_{3x})N\hat{i}+(16.0+8.00+F_{3y})N\hat{j}=(2.0kg)[(-8.00m/s^2)\hat{i}+(6.00m/s^2)\hat{j}]\\\\(18.0+F_{3x})N\hat{i}+(24.0+F_{3y})\hat{j}=(-16.00N)\hat{i}+(12.0N)\hat{j}[/tex]

Both x and y component must be equal in the previous equality, then you have:

[tex]18.0N+F_{3x}=-16.00N\\\\F_{3x}=-34.00N\\\\24.0N+F_{3y}=12.0N\\\\F_{3y}=-12.00N[/tex]

Hence, the vector F3 is:

[tex]\vec{F_3}=(-34.0N)\hat{i}+(-12.0N)\hat{j}[/tex]

Answer:

The distance is  [tex]S = 39.2 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The distance covered after t = 1 s is  [tex]d = 4.9 \ m[/tex]

According to the equation of motion

      [tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2ad[/tex]

 Now  u  =  0 m/s  since before the drop the ball was at rest

     [tex]v^2 = 2ad[/tex]

here  [tex]a =g = 9.8 \ m/s^2[/tex]

    So

       [tex]v = 9.8 m/s[/tex]

Also from equation of motion we have that

     [tex]S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]

Now at  t = 2 s , as given from the question

  Then  u =  v = 9.8 m/s

And

     [tex]S = 9.8 * 2 + \frac{1}{2} * (9.8) * (2^2)[/tex]

     [tex]S = 9.8 * 2 + \frac{1}{2} * (9.8) * (2^2)[/tex]

    [tex]S = 39.2 \ m[/tex]

Answer:

This example shows that alloys are stronger than either of it's parent materials by themselves.

Explanation:

Since carbon is added to iron to make steel, it means steel is an alloy of iron and carbon.

This is because an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, where at least one element is a metal.

Now, steel is stronger than either carbon or or iron by itself because Steel contains atoms of other elements including carbon and iron. These atoms have different sizes to iron carbon atoms, so they distort the layers of atoms in the pure iron and carbon. This means that a greater force is required for the layers to slide over each other in steel, so steel is harder than pure iron.

[tex]P_6 = m v\\P_6 = (1000)(10)\\P_6 = 10^4 kg m/s[/tex]

So the momentum is given as ,

Car E = Car D  > (Car F = Car B = Car C) > Car A

Part b)Impulse is given as change in momentum so here we can say that final momentum of all the cars will be zero as they all stops and hence the impulse is same as initial momentum of the car

so the order of impulse from largest to least is given as

Car E = Car D  > (Car F = Car B = Car C) > Car A

Answer:

d. 1.00 m

Explanation:

In 1905, Einstein proposed special theory of relativity of light.

This theory had a number of consequences or results. One of them is called "Length Contraction".

According to this consequence, whenever an object travels at a speed comparable to the speed of light, its length decreases.

But this decrease in length is only seen in the dimension, which is parallel to the direction of motion of the body. All other dimensions of the object remains same.

In the given situation, the length of meter stick is not parallel to the direction of motion, but it is perpendicular. Hence, the length of meter stick will be same as the length of meter stick at rest. Hence, the correct option will be:

d. 1.00 m

Answer:

A. K = 0.546 eV

B. cooper and iron will not emit electrons

Explanation:

A. This is a problem about photoelectric effect. Then you have the following equation:

[tex]K=h\nu-\Phi=h\frac{c}{\lambda} -\Phi[/tex]   (1)

K: kinetic energy of the ejected electron

Ф: Work function of the metal = 2.48eV

h: Planck constant = 4.136*10^{-15} eV.s

λ: wavelength of light = 410nm - 750nm

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

As you can see in the equation (1), higher the wavelength, lower the kinetic energy. Then, the maximum kinetic energy is obtained with the lower wavelength (410nm). Thus, you replace the values of all variables :

[tex]K=(4.136*10^{-15}eV)\frac{3*10^8m/s}{410*10^{-9}m}-2.48eV\\\\K=0.546eV[/tex]

B. First you calculate the energy of the photon with wavelengths of 410nm and 750nm

[tex]E_1=(4.136*10^{-15}eV)\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{410*10^{-9}m}=3.02eV\\\\E_2=(4.13610^{-15}eV)\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{750*10^{-9}m}=1.6544eV[/tex]

You compare the energies E1 and E2 with the work functions of the metals and you can conclude:

sodium = 2.3eV < E1

cesium = 2.1 eV < E1

cooper = 4.7eV > E1 (this metal will not emit electrons)

iron = 4.5eV > E1 (this metal will not emit electrons)
