A water bug is suspended on the surface of a pond by surface tension (water does not wet the legs). The bug has six leg, and each leg is in contact with the water over a length of 5 mm. What is the maximum mass (in grams) of the bug if it is to avoid sinking
Answer:
m = 2.2 x 10⁻⁴ kg = 0.22 g
Explanation:
The surface tension of water is 0.072 N/m. So in order for the bug to avoid sinking, its weight per unit length of contact must be no more than the surface tension of water. Therefore,
[tex]Weight\ of bug\ per\ unit\ length = Surface\ Tension\ of\ Water\\\frac{mg}{L} = Surface\ Tension\ of Water\\m = \frac{(Surface\ Tension\ of\ Water)(L)}{g}[/tex]
where,
m = mass of bug = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
L = Contact length = (contact length of each leg)(No. of Legs) = (5 mm)(6)
L = 30 mm = 0.03 m
Therefore,
[tex]m = \frac{(0.072\ N/m)(0.03\ m)}{9.81\ m/s^{2}} \\[/tex]
m = 2.2 x 10⁻⁴ kg = 0.22 g

Abunai Hana is standing atop a hill and fires her crossbow perfectly horizontally. If the crossbow bolt begins
moving with a speed of 35 m/s, then at what height does the bolt land if it hits the ground 150 m horizontally
away from her?
Answer:
h = 90.09 m
Explanation:
First, we consider the horizontal motion of the crossbow. Considering air friction to be negligible we can use the following equation:
[tex]X = V_{x}t[/tex]
where,
X = horizontal distance covered = 150 m
Vₓ = Horizontal component of velocity = 35 m/s
t = time taken during the motion = ?
Therefore,
[tex]150\ m = (35\ m/s)t\\\\t = \frac{150\ m}{35\ m/s}\\\\t = 4.28\ s[/tex]
Now, we consider the vertical motion of the crossbow. Using second equation of motion:
[tex]h = V_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\\\\[/tex]
where,
h = the height the bolt fell = ?
Vi = Vertical component of initial velocity = 0 m/s (since the crossbow was fired horizontally)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Therefore,
[tex]h = (0\ m/s)(4.28\ s) + \frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(4.28\ s)^{2}\\[/tex]
h = 90.09 m

What is the density of a cube that has a mass of 3.75 g and a volume of 3 mL?
Answer:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho=1.25\ g/ml[/tex]
Explanation:
Density
The density of a substance is the mass per unit volume. The density varies with temperature and pressure.
The formula to calculate the density of a substance of mass (m) and volume (V) is:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]
The cube has a mass of m=3.75 g and a volume of V=3 ml, thus the density is:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho=\frac{3.75\ g}{3\ ml}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\displaystyle \rho=1.25\ g/ml}[/tex]
Since 1 kg=1000 mg and 1 lt = 1000 ml, the density has the same value but with different units:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho=1.25\ kg/l[/tex]

A plot of land contains 3.6 acres. How many square meters does it contain? [1 acre = 43,560 ft?)
Answer:
It contains approximately 14,568.7 square meters
Explanation:
Area Units Conversion
There are several units to express the area of a shape:
[tex]cm^2,\ m^2,\ km^2,\ ft^2,\ in^2,\ acres, \ hectares[/tex]
The process of expressing the area from one unit to the other is called a conversion.
Specifically, we are interested in converting from acres to square meters. The rule to make the conversion is:
[tex]1 acre = 4,046.86\ m^2[/tex]
The plot of land has 3.6 acres, thus its area is:
[tex]3.6 * 4046.86 =14,568.696\ m^2[/tex]
It contains approximately 14,568.7 square meters
Planets A and B have the same size, but planet A is half the mass of planet B.
Which statement correctly explains the weight you would experience on each
planet?
O A. You would weigh the same on both planets because the planets
are the same size.
B. You would weigh less on planet A because it has less mass than
planet B.
C. You would weigh more on planet A because it has less mass than
planet B.
D. You would weigh the same on both planets because your mass
would be the same on both.
SUBMIT
Answer: Choice B) You would weigh less on planet A because it has less mass than planet B.
=====================================================
Explanation:
Weight is due to the force of gravity. The higher the force of gravity, the more pull and therefore the larger weight.
Imagine that gravity was basically a rope pulling a person down. The higher the force of gravity, the stronger the pull on the rope.
Due to planet A having less mass compared to planet B, this means the force of gravity on planet A is smaller, and therefore a person on planet A will weigh less compared to planet B.

As a more real world example, the moon's mass is less than the Earth's mass. It turns out that weights on the moon are roughly 1/6 of what they would be on Earth. This means that if a person weighed 180 pounds on Earth, then they would weigh about 180*(1/6) = 180/6 = 30 pounds on the moon. This is why astronauts on the moon are able to jump higher and have a bigger bounce in their step, even if they aren't even trying to jump so high.

1) The work function for calcium is 2.9 ev. If we shine on the surface made of calcium with a
light of 420 nm wavelength, answer the following questions:
a) Find the energy of the incident photon.
b) Is this energy enough for an electron to leave the atom and if so what is its
maximum energy?
Answer:
a. 4.733 × 10⁻¹⁹ J = 2.954 eV b i. yes ii. 0.054 eV = 8.651 × 10⁻²¹ J
Explanation:
a. Find the energy of the incident photon.
The energy of the incident photon E = hc/λ where h = Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js, c = speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and λ = wavelength of light = 420 nm = 420 × 10⁻⁹ m
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
E = hc/λ
= 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js × 3 × 10⁸ m/s ÷ 420 × 10⁻⁹ m
= 19.878 × 10⁻²⁶ Jm ÷ 420 × 10⁻⁹ m
= 0.04733 × 10⁻¹⁷ J
= 4.733 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
Since 1 eV = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J,
4.733 × 10⁻¹⁹ J = 4.733 × 10⁻¹⁹ J × 1 eV/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J = 2.954 eV
b. i. Is this energy enough for an electron to leave the atom
Since E = 2.954 eV is greater than the work function Ф = 2.9 eV, an electron would leave the atom. So, the answer is yes.
ii. What is its maximum energy?
The maximum energy E' = E - Ф = 2.954 - 2.9
= 0.054 eV
= 0.054 × 1 eV
= 0.054 × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
= 0.08651 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
= 8.651 × 10⁻²¹ J
Suppose that the voltage is reduced by 10 percent (to 90 V). By what percentage is the power reduced
Answer:
percent decrease in power = 20 % .
Explanation:
Power P = v² / R where v is voltage and R is resistance which is constant .
taking log on both sides
log P = 2 log v - log R
differentiating on both sides
dP/P = 2 dv/v
-dP/P x 100 = 2 x -dv/v x 100
percent decrease in power = 2 x percent decrease in v ( voltage )
percent decrease in power = 2 x 10 = 20 %

electric heater carries a current of 18.0 A when operating at a voltage of 120 V. What is the resistance of the heater
Answer:
R = 6.67 ohms
Explanation:
Given that,
The current carried in the heater, I = 18 A
Voltage, V = 120 V
We need to find the resistance of the heater. Let the resistance be R.
We can use Ohm's law to find R.
V = IR
[tex]R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{120}{18}\\\\R=6.67\ \Omega[/tex]
So, the resistance of the heater is 6.67 ohms.
The view of light that describes light as consisting of particles is called: Select the correct answer below: particulate spherical discrete corpuscular
Answer: Corpuscular.
Explanation:
There is a theory called the Corpuscular Theory of Light, which says that light is made of small particles called "corpuscles".
But as we know, light has a duality associated to it (it behaves like a wave and like a particle), and here is where one of the largest problems of this theory appears, because it does not explain things like diffraction or interference.
Then the correct option is corpuscular.

The frequency of a tuning fork can be found by the method shown. A long tube open at both ends is submerged in a beaker of water, and the vibrating tuning fork is placed near the top of the tube. The length L of the air column is adjusted by moving the tube vertically. The sound waves generated by the fork are reinforced when the length of the air column corresponds to one of the resonant frequencies of the tube. The smallest value for L for which a peak occurs in sound intensity is 5 cm.a) What is the frequency of the tuning fork? The speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. Answer in units of Hz.b) What is the value of L for the second resonant position? Answer in units of cm.c)What is the value of L for the third resonant position? Answer in units of cm.
Answer:
a. 3.45 kHz b. 5 cm c. 7.5 cm
Explanation:
a. What is the frequency of the tuning fork?
For a tube open at both ends, the frequency, f = nv/2L. The smallest frequency at the smallest length of air column, L = 5 cm = 0.05 m is the fundamental frequency and there, n = 1 and v = speed of sound in air = 345 m/s.
So, f = v/2L
So, f = 345 m/s/(2 × 0.05 m)
= 345 m/s ÷ 0.1 m
= 3450 Hz
= 3.45 kHz
b. What is the value of L for the second resonant position?
The second resonant frequency is f' = 2f
= 2 × 3450 Hz
= 6900 Hz
Since f = nv/2L and f' = second resonant frequency when n = 2.
So, f' = 2v/2L
f' = v/L
L = v/f'
= 345 m/s ÷ 6900 Hz
= 0.05 m
= 5 cm
c. What is the value of L for the third resonant position?
The third resonant frequency is f" = 3f
= 3 × 3450 Hz
= 10350 Hz
Since f = nv/2L and f" = third resonant frequency when n = 3.
So, f" = 3v/2L
2f' = 3v/L
L = 3v/2f'
= 3 × 345 m/s ÷ (2 × 6900 Hz)
= 1035 m/s ÷ 13800 Hz
= 0.075 m
= 7.5 cm
a)The frequency of the tuning fork will be 3.45 kHz.
b) The value of L for the second resonant position will be 5 cm.
c) The value of L for the third resonant position will be 7.5 cm.
What is frequency?Frequency is defined as the number of repetitions of a wave occurring waves in 1 second.
The tuning fork's frequency for a tube with both ends open is;
f = nv/2L
f = 345 m/s/(2 × 0.05 m)
f= (345 m/s) / (0.1 m)
f= 3450 Hz
f= 3.45 kHz
f' = 2f is the second resonant frequency.
f'= 2 × 3450 Hz
f'= 6900 Hz
f = nv/2L
For n=2,
f' = 2v/2L
f' = v/L
The value of L for the second resonant position;
L = v/f'
L= 345 m/s ÷ 6900 Hz
L= 0.05 m
L= 5 cm
f' = 3f is the third resonant frequency.
f' = 3 × 3450 Hz
f'= 10350 Hz
f = nv/2L
For, n = 3.
f' = 3v/2L
2f' = 3v/L
The value of L for the third resonant position;
L = 3v/2f'
L=( 3 × 345 m/s)/(2 × 6900 Hz)
L= 1035 m/s / 13800 Hz
L= 0.075 m
L= 7.5 cm
Hence,The frequency of the tuning fork,value of L for the second resonant position and value of L for the third resonant position will be 3.45 kHz. 5 cm and 7.5 cm respectively.

Answer:
convert thermal energy into mechanical energy
Explanation:
Thermodynamics generally deals with the energy changes in chemical reactions and how its affect or its influence of energy on those changes. It is widely known to be a branch of physics. It deals mainly on heat transfer processes whereby energy in the form of heat is converted into work. It simply covers or the study of energy flow in the world as a whole and the flow relationship to work, heat, the different forms of energy, and entropy.
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of energy and its transformations in systems, including the transfer of heat and work. The thermodynamic processes that occur in nature convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, lead to a more ordered state, and cannot be reversed.
These processes are governed by the laws of thermodynamics, which describe the behavior of energy in various systems. The conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy occurs through processes such as combustion, where heat is generated and used to perform work.
Natural processes tend to increase the overall order or organization in a system, known as an increase in entropy. While energy can be converted and transferred, the total energy within a closed system remains constant due to the law of energy conservation.
Therefore, the thermodynamic processes that occur in nature convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, lead to a more ordered state, and cannot be reversed.
