A space cowboy wants to eject from his spacecraft 1.00×105 km after passing a space buoy, as seen by spectators at rest with respect to the buoy. To do this, the cowboy sets a timer on his craft that will start as he passes the buoy. He plans to cruise by the buoy at 0.217c.How much time should he allow between passing the buoy and ejecting?options:1.50 s1.70 s1.30 s1.60 s1.55 s

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

option D.

Explanation:

Given,

distance, d = 1 x 10⁵ km

speed , v = 0.217 c

time of dilation , T₀= ?

Using the formula of time dilation

[tex]T=\frac{T_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}[/tex]

[tex]T_{0}=T \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} [/tex]

[tex]=\left(\frac{d}{v}\right) \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} [/tex]

[tex]=\left(\frac{1.00 \times 10^{8}}{0.217 \times 2.99 \times 10^{8}}\right) \sqrt{1-\frac{(0.217 c)^{2}}{c^{2}}} [/tex]

[tex]=1.54 \times 0.976 [/tex]

[tex]=1.50\ s[/tex]

Time he should be allowed between passing the buoy and ejecting is equal to 1.50 s.

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

cosine theoreme

[tex]0.6^{2} =1.8^{2} +2.4^{2}-2*1.8*2.4*cos(a)[/tex]

cos(a)=(3.24+5.76-0.6)/(2*1.8*2.4)

cos(a)=1

a=90°

Final answer:

To find the arrangement of two vectors with magnitudes of 1.8 m and 2.4 m so that their sum is 0.6 m, we need to consider vector addition. The magnitude of the resultant vector is 4.2 m. One possible arrangement is to align the vectors in opposite directions, cancelling out each other's effects and resulting in a net sum of zero.

Explanation:

To find the arrangement of two vectors with magnitudes of 1.8 m and 2.4 m, so that their sum is 0.6 m, we need to understand vector addition. The sum of two vectors can be found by aligning the vectors head to tail and drawing a line connecting the head of the first vector to the tail of the second vector. The resulting vector, called the resultant vector, is the sum of the two vectors.

In this case, let's call the first vector A with magnitude 1.8 m and the second vector B with magnitude 2.4 m. To find the arrangement where their sum is 0.6 m, we can set up the equation: A + B = 0.6. Since the magnitudes are given, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the magnitude of the resultant vector: |A| + |B| = |0.6|. Substituting the given values, we get: 1.8 + 2.4 = 0.6. Simplifying the equation, we find that the magnitude of the resultant vector is 4.2 m.

Now, to find the arrangement, we need to consider the direction of the vectors. Since the sum of the two vectors is not zero, their directions cannot be directly opposite. Therefore, we need to arrange them in a way that their individual directions cancel out each other to result in a net sum of zero. One possible arrangement is to align the vectors such that they form a straight line in opposite directions. In this case, A and B would have the same magnitude but opposite directions, cancelling out each other's effects and resulting in a net sum of zero.

Monochromatic light is incident on a pair of slits that are separated by 0.230 mm. The screen is 2.60 m away from the slits. (Assume the small-angle approximation is valid here.) (a) If the distance between the central bright fringe and either of the adjacent bright fringes is 1.57 cm, find the wavelength of the incident light

Answers

Answer:

The wavelength of incident light is [tex]1.38x10^{-6}m[/tex]

Explanation:

The physicist Thomas Young established, through his double slit experiment, a relation between the interference (constructive or destructive) of a wave, the separation between the slits, the distance between the two slits to the screen and the wavelength.

[tex]\Lambda x = L\frac{\lambda}{d} [/tex]  (1)

Where [tex]\Lambda x[/tex] is the distance between two adjacent maxima, L is the distance of the screen from the slits, [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength and d is the separation between the slits.  

The values for this particular case are:

[tex]L = 2.60m[/tex]

[tex]d = 0.230mm[/tex]

[tex]\Lambda x = 1.57cm[/tex]

Then, [tex]\lambda[/tex] can be isolated from equation 1

[tex]\lambda = \frac{d \Lambda x}{L}[/tex]  (2)

However, before equation 2 can be used, it is necessary to express [tex]\Lambda x[/tex] and d in units of meters.

[tex]\Lambda x= 1.57cm \cdot \frac{1m}{100cm}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]0.0157m[/tex]

[tex]d = 0.230mm \cdot \frac{1m}{1000mm}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]2.3x10^{-4}m[/tex]

Finally, equation 2 can be used.

[tex]\lambda = \frac{(2.3x10^{-4}m)(0.0157m}{(2.60m)}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = 1.38x10^{-6}m[/tex]

Hence, the wavelength of incident light is [tex]1.38x10^{-6}m[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

the penny loses contact at the piston's highest point.

f = 2.5 Hz

Explanation:

Concepts and Principles  

1- Newton's Second Law: The net force F on a body with mass m is related to the body's acceleration a by  

∑F = ma                                                          (1)  

2- The maximum transverse acceleration of a particle in simple harmonic motion is found in terms of the angular speed w and the amplitude A as follows:  

a_max = -w^2A                                                (2)  

3- The angular frequency w of a wave is related to the frequency f by:  

w = 2π f                                                              (3)  

Given Data  

- The amplitude of the piston is: A = (4.0 cm) ( 1/ 100 cm)=  0.04 m.  

- The frequency of oscillation of the piston is steadily increased.

Required Data

In part (a), we are asked to determine the point at which the penny first loses contact with the piston.  

In part (b), we are asked to determine the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for a full cycle.  

Solution  

(a)  

The free-body diagram in Figure 1 shows the forces acting on the penny; mi is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the penny andrt is the normal contact force exerted by the piston on the penny.  

figure 1 is attached

Apply Newton's second law from Equation (1) in the vertical direction to the penny:  

∑F_y -mg= ma        

Solve for n=m(g+a) The penny loses contact with the surface of the oscillating piston when the normal force n exerted by the piston is zero. So  

0 = m(g + a)

a = —g  

Therefore, the penny loses contact with the piston when the piston starts accelerating downwards. The piston first acceleratesdownward at its highest point and hence the penny loses contact at the piston's highest point.

(b)  

The maximum acceleration of the penny at the highest point of the piston is found from Equation (2):  

a = —w^2A  

where a = —g at the highest point. So  

g = w^2A  

Solve for w:  

w =√g/A

Substitute for w from Equation (3):

2πf =  √g/A

Solve for f :  

f = 1/2π√g/A

Substitute numerical values:  

f = 1/2π√9.8 m/s^2/0.04

f = 2.5 Hz

Final answer:

The question is based on Simple Harmonic Motion: The penny first loses contact with the piston at its highest point (option c) in the motion. The maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle is approximately 12.5 Hz.

Explanation:

The penny will first lose contact with the piston at its highest point, which is option c) highest point in the cycle.

To determine the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle, we need to consider the condition for the penny to stay in contact with the piston. At the highest point of the motion, the penny experiences an upward gravitational force and a downward centripetal force due to the circular motion.

When the centripetal force becomes greater than or equal to the gravitational force, the penny will lose contact with the piston. This occurs when

mvmax2/r = mg

Solving for the maximum velocity using vmax = 2πfA, where A is the amplitude, and substituting into the equation above, we find that

fmax = g / (4π2A)

Substituting the given values, with a=4.0 cm = 0.04 m and g=9.8 m/s2:

fmax = 9.8 / (4π2(0.04)) ≈ 12.5 Hz

Between this and the next assignment, we want to get a better under- standing of how light interacts with the eye. Here are two questions to get us started, focused on diffraction (i.e., the spreading of light when it passes through a narrow opening). A. To regulate the intensity of light reaching our retinas, our pupils1 change diameter anywhere from 2 mm in bright light to 8 mm in dim light. Find the angular resolution of the eye for 550 nm wavelength light at those extremes. In which light can you see more sharply, dim or bright

Answers

Answer:

θ₁ = 3.35 10⁻⁴ rad ,  θ₂ = 8.39 10⁻⁵ rad

Explanation:

This is a diffraction problem for a slit that is described by the expression

       sin θ = m λ

the resolution is obtained from the angle between the central maximum and the first minimum corresponding to m = 1

      sin θ = λ / a

as in these experiments the angle is very small we can approximate the sine to its angle

        θ = λ / a

In this case, the circular openings are explicit, so the system must be solved in polar coordinates, which introduces a numerical constant.

       θ = 1.22 λ / D

where D is the diameter of the opening

 let's apply this expression to our case

indicates that the wavelength is λ = 550 nm = 550 10⁻⁹ m

the case of a lot of light D = 2 mm = 2 10⁻³ m

       θ₁ = 1.22 550 10-9 / 2 10⁻³

       θ₁ = 3.35 10⁻⁴ rad

For the low light case D = 8 mm = 8 10⁻³

      θ₂ = 1.22 550 10-9 / 8 10⁻³

      θ₂ = 8.39 10⁻⁵ rad

Answers

Answer:

Remember that Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity and it only depends on the speed and not necessary not the angle

Thus,Since the masses and the speed are same for both A and B, the initial kinetic energy of A and B are same.

b]

The difference or variation in gravitational potential energy is again a scalar quantity and so as long as the initial speed is same, the change in gravitational potential energy will also be the same [though they may not occur at the same horizontal position].

therefore, from the ground to the highest point of both A and B, both will have same potential energy.

Also The energy in part (a) differs from part (b),

In part (a) energy mention is kinetic energy that depends on mass and velocity of particle whereas in part (b) energy is potential energy that depends on mass and the position with reference of ground. Potential energy is a state function but kinetic energy is not.

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.40. The thickness t of the air layer can be varied. Light with wavelength λ in air is at normal incidence onto the top of the air film. There is constructive interference between the light reflected at the top and bottom surfaces of the air film when its thickness is 700 nm. For the same wavelength of light the next larger thickness for which there is constructive interference is 980 nm.

a. What is the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air?
b. What is the smallest thickness t of the air film for which there is constructive interference for this wavelength of light?

Answers

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t  (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= [tex](m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)[/tex]

replacing ;

Δx = 2t   ; we have:

2t = [tex](m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)[/tex]

Given that thickness t = 700 nm

Then

2× 700 = [tex](m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)[/tex]     --- equation (1)

For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference

2× 980 = [tex](m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)[/tex]     ----- equation (2)

Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'

λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )

λ = 1960 - 1400

λ = 560 nm

Thus;  the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

b)  

For the smallest thickness [tex]t_{min} ; \ \ \ m =0[/tex]

∴ [tex]2t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]

[tex]t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{4}[/tex]

[tex]t_{min} =\frac{560}{4}[/tex]

[tex]t_{min} =140 \ \ nm[/tex]

Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Answers

Answer:

The solution to the question above is explained below:

Explanation:

(a) The work function of the surface is:

The work function of a metal, Φ, it's the minimum amount of energy required to remove electron from the conduction band and remove it to outside the metal. It is typically exhibited in units of eV (electron volts) or J (Joules). Work Function, is the minimum thermodynamic work.

hf = hc /λ = φ + Kmax = φ + 1 /2 mev ²max

where,   φ=work function of a metal

               eV=electron volts

              J= Joules

             λ=the Plank constant 6.63 x 10∧-34 J s

              f = the frequency of the incident light in hertz

              ∧= signifies raised to the power in the solution

Kmax= the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons in joules

φ= ( hc /λ -1/2mev ²max= 6.63 × 10∧-34Js × 3.00 × 10∧8 m/s ÷ 625 × 10∧-9) -

 (1/2 × 9.11 × 10∧-31 kg × 4.60 × 10∧5 m/s) = 2.21 × 10∧-19 J

ans= 1.38 eV

(b) The cutoff frequency for this surface is:

The cutoff frequency is the minimum frequency that is required for the emission of electrons from a metallic surface at which energy flowing through the metallic surface begins to be reduced  rather than passing through.

Light at the cutoff frequency only barely supplies enough energy to overcome the work function. The value of the cutoff frequency is in unit hertz (Hz)

hfcut = φ

fcut = φ /h

A firework shell is launched vertically upward from the ground with an initial speed of 44m/s. when the shell is 65 m high on the way up it explodes into two wequal mass halves, one half is observed to continue to rise straight up to a heigh of 120 m. How high does the other half go?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]h = 83.093\,m[/tex]

Explanation:

The speed of the firework shell just before the explosion is:

[tex]v = \sqrt{(44\,\frac{m}{s})^{2}-2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (65\,m)}[/tex]

[tex]v \approx 25.712\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

After the explosion, the initial speed of one of the mass halves is:

[tex]v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} -2\cdot g \cdot s[/tex]

[tex]v_{o}^{2} = v_{f}^{2} + 2\cdot g \cdot s[/tex]

[tex]v_{o} = \sqrt{v_{f}^{2}+2\cdot g \cdot s}[/tex]

[tex]v_{o} = \sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}+ 2 \cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (120\,m-65\,m)}[/tex]

[tex]v_{o} \approx 32.845\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The initial speed of the other mass half is determined from the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

[tex]m \cdot (25.712\,\frac{m}{s} ) = 0.5\cdot m \cdot (32.845\,\frac{m}{s} ) + 0.5\cdot m \cdot v[/tex]

[tex]25.842\,\frac{m}{s} = 16.423\,\frac{m}{s} + 0.5\cdot v[/tex]

[tex]v = 18.838\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The height reached by this half is:

[tex]h = h_{o} -\frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot g}[/tex]

[tex]h = 65\,m - \frac{(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}- (18.838\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}[/tex]

In order to study the long-term effects of weightlessness, astronauts in space must be weighed (or at least "massed"). One way in which this is done is to seat them in a chair of known mass attached to a spring of known force constant and measure the period of the oscillations of this system. The 36.4 kg chair alone oscillates with a period of 1.00 s, and the period with the astronaut sitting in the chair is 2.20 s.

Find the force constant of the spring.

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]1.44\times 10^3 \; \rm N \cdot m^{-1}[/tex] assuming that the spring has zero mass.

Explanation:

Without any external force, a piece of mass connected to an ideal spring (like the chair in this question) will undergo simple harmonic oscillation.

On the other hand, the force constant of a spring (i.e., its stiffness) can be found using Hooke's Law. If the spring exerts a restoring force [tex]\mathbf{F}[/tex] when its displacement is [tex]\mathbf{x}[/tex], then its force constant would be:

[tex]\displaystyle k = -\frac{\mathbf{F}}{\mathbf{x}}[/tex].  

The goal here is to find the expressions for [tex]F[/tex] and for [tex]x[/tex]. By Hooke's Law, the spring constant would be ratio of these two expressions.

Let [tex]T[/tex] represent the time period of this oscillation. With the chair alone, the period of oscillation is [tex]T = 1.00\; \rm s[/tex].

For a simple harmonic oscillation, the angular frequency [tex]\omega[/tex] can be found from the period:

[tex]\displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex].

Let [tex]A[/tex] stands for the amplitude of this oscillation. In a simple harmonic oscillation, both [tex]\mathbf{F}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{x}[/tex] are proportional to [tex]A[/tex]. Keep in mind that the spring constant [tex]k[/tex] is simply the opposite of the ratio between [tex]\mathbf{F}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{x}[/tex]. Therefore, the exact value of [tex]A[/tex] shouldn't really affect the value of the spring constant.

In a simple harmonic motion (one that starts with maximum displacement and zero velocity,) the displacement (from equilibrium position) at time [tex]t[/tex] would be:

[tex]\displaystyle \mathbf{x}(t) = A \cos(\omega \cdot t)[/tex].

The restoring velocity at time [tex]t[/tex] would be:

[tex]\displaystyle \mathbf{v}(t) = \mathbf{x}^\prime(t) = -A\, \omega \sin(\omega\cdot t)[/tex].

The restoring acceleration at time [tex]t[/tex] would be:

[tex]\displaystyle \mathbf{a}(t) = \mathbf{v}^\prime(t) = -A\, \omega^2 \cos(\omega\cdot t)[/tex].

Assume that the spring has zero mass. By Newton's Second Law of motion, the restoring force at time [tex]t[/tex] would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \mathbf{F}(t) \\ &= m(\text{chair}) \cdot \mathbf{a}(t) \\&= -m(\text{chair}) \, A\, \omega^2 \cos(\omega \cdot t)\end{aligned}[/tex].

Apply Hooke's Law to find the spring constant, [tex]k[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned} k & = -\frac{\mathbf{F}}{\mathbf{x}} \\ &= -\left(\frac{-m(\text{chair}) \, A\, \omega^2 \cos(\omega \cdot t)}{A\cos(\omega \cdot t)}\right) \\ &= \omega^2 \cdot m(\text{chair}) \end{aligned}[/tex].

Again, [tex]\omega[/tex] stands for the angular frequency of this oscillation, where

[tex]\displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex].

Before proceeding, note how [tex]A[/tex] was eliminated from the ratio (as expected.) Additionally, [tex]t[/tex] is also eliminated from the ratio. In other words, the spring constant is "constant" at all time. That agrees with the assumption that this spring is indeed ideal. Back to [tex]k[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned} k & = -\frac{\mathbf{F}}{\mathbf{x}} \\ &= \cdots \\ &= \omega^2 \cdot m(\text{chair}) \\ &= \left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2 \cdot m(\text{chair}) \\ &= \left(\frac{2\pi}{1.00\; \rm s}\right)^2 \times 36.4\; \rm kg\end{aligned}[/tex].

Side note on the unit of [tex]k[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & 1\; \rm kg \cdot s^{-2} \\ &= 1\rm \; \left(kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2}\right) \cdot m^{-1} \\ &= 1\; \rm N \cdot m^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

What is the moment of inertia of the boxer's forearm?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

F = 1.8*10³N

r = 2.85cm = 0.0285m

α = 140rad/s²

Torque = applied force * distance

τ = r * F

τ = 0.0285 * 1.8*10³

τ = 51.3N.m

Answers

Answer:

Car body rise on its suspension by 0.0309 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 1500 kg

Mass of each person = 90 kg

Speed of the car [tex]v=20km/hr=20\times \frac{5}{18}=5.555m/sec[/tex]

Distance traveled by car d = 3.7 m

So time period  [tex]T=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{4}{5.55}=0.72sec[/tex]

Frequency [tex]f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.72}=1.388Hz[/tex]

Angular frequency is [tex]\omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 1.388=8.722rad/sec[/tex]

Angular frequency is equal to [tex]\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/tex]

[tex]8.722 =\sqrt{\frac{k}{1500}}[/tex]

k = 114109.92 N/m

Now weight of total persons will be equal to spring force

[tex]4mg=kx[/tex]

[tex]4\times 90\times 9.8=114109.92\times x[/tex]

x = 0.0309 m

cylinder of mass 6.0 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant its center of mass has a speed of 15.0 m/s. (a) Determine the translational kinetic energy of its center of mass. J (b) Determine the rotational kinetic energy about its center of mass. J (c) Determine its total energy.

Answers

Answer:

a). 675J

b). 337.5J

c). 1012.5J

Explanation:

M = 6.0kg

V = 15.0m/s

a). Translational energy

E = ½ *mv²

E = ½ * 6 * 15²

E = 675J

b). Rotational kinetic energy K.E(rot) = Iw²

But moment of inertia of a cylinder (I) = ½Mr²

I = ½mr²

V = wr, r = v / w

K.E(rot) = ¼ mv²

K.E(rot) = ¼* 6 * 15²

K.E(rot) = 337.5J

Total energy of the system = K.E(rot) + Translational energy = 337.5 + 675

T.E = 1012.5J

Which of the following statements are true concerning the reflection of light?
Check all that apply.

a. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection only when a ray of light strikes a plane mirror.
b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.
c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.
d. For diffuse reflection, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.
e. For specular reflection, the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

Answers

Answer:

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

Explanation:

a. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection only when a ray of light strikes a plane mirror.

This is wrong: Based on law of reflection "The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when light strikes any plane surface" examples plane mirrors, still waters, plane tables, etc

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

This is correct

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

This is correct

d. For diffuse reflection, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection. The only difference between this type of reflection and specular reflection, is that the normal for diffuse reflection is not parallel to each due to the rough surface in which the light incidents.

For specular reflection, the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection

The correct statements are statement 2 and statement 3.The true statements are: the reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection, and the reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection. The others are incorrect as the angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection.

To answer the question about the reflection of light, let's analyze each statement:

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection only when a ray of light strikes a plane mirror.
This statement is incorrect. According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection for any reflective surface, not just a plane mirror.The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.
This statement is true. Specular reflection occurs when light reflects off a smooth surface, like a mirror, and the angles of incidence and reflection are equal.The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.
This statement is true. Diffuse reflection occurs when light hits a rough surface, scattering in many directions.For diffuse reflection, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.
This statement is incorrect. Even in diffuse reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, but because the surface is rough, light is reflected at many different angles.For specular reflection, the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.
This statement is incorrect. For specular reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

In summary, the true statements concerning the reflection of light are:

The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

A coil formed by wrapping 65 turns of wire in the shape of a square is positioned in a magnetic field so that the normal to the plane of the coil makes an angle of 30.0° with the direction of the field. When the magnetic field is increased uniformly from 200 µT to 600 µT in 0.400 s, an emf of magnitude 80.0 mV is induced in the coil. What is the total length of the wire?

Answers

Final answer:

To find the total length of the wire in a 65-turn square coil subjected to a changing magnetic field, apply Faraday's law of induction to calculate the magnetic flux change and then determine the side length of the coil. Multiply the coil's perimeter by the number of turns to obtain the total length.

Explanation:

The student's question pertains to electromagnetic induction in a coil exposed to a changing magnetic field. To solve for the total length of the wire, we can use Faraday's law of induction, which states that the induced emf (electromotive force) in a coil is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil. Given an induced emf of 80.0 mV and a change in magnetic field from 200 µT to 600 µT over 0.400 s, the change in magnetic flux φ can be calculated.

Since the coil is square and positioned at a 30.0° angle to the magnetic field, the effective area A for inducing emf can be determined using the cosine of the angle and the side length of the square, assuming all sides are equal. With the number of turns (N) being 65, we can apply Faraday's law to find the magnetic flux and subsequently the side length of the square. The total length of the wire is simply the perimeter of the square (4 times the side length) multiplied by the number of turns (N).

Speculate about some worldwide changes likely to follow the advent of successful fusion reactors. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of electricity coming from a large central power station versus a network of many smaller solar-based stations owned and operated by individuals.

Answers

Answer:

Nuclear reaction is the disintegration or integration of nucleus or nuclei of an atom, to produce a different nuclei or nucleus, thereby given out a large amount of heat energy. The energy been extracted from this reaction are very much.

At a successful fusion reaction, the world will have more better opportunity to preserve it's natural resources, as they will be enough energy to produce electricity, cooking, industrial power, and many more. It will also reduce spending, as energy from fusion reaction are not too expensive in obtaining, when compared to energy from natural resources.

ADVANTAGES OF USING CENTRAL POWER STATION THAN SMALLER SOLAR BASED STATION.

1) Central power stations are reliable, because of the abundance of natural resources been used to produce the electricity. Solar based station are not reliable because during winter, when the sun is hardly seen, they will not be enough resource to produce electricity.

2) Central power stations are very efficient because they produce a stable electricity power, while the smaller solar stations are not efficient, because the amount of power produced is dependent on the amount of solar energy it has stored.

DISADVANTAGES OF USING CENTRAL POWER STATION THAN SMALLER SOLAR-BASED STATION.

1) Central power stations causes pollution, and green house effect, because the natural gas been used to produce the electricity causes pollution and green house effect during venting. While smaller solar-based station are pollution free and does not cause green house effect, because it only need sun to store it's charge.

2) Central power station are more dangerous for people to work, as risk of being electrocuted is high. Smaller-based solar stations has less risk, as the power been stored from the sun requires less complex wiring.

3) Central power stations are more expensive to produce and requires much land space. While smaller solar-based station are less expensive, and requires little land space.

Final answer:

Successful fusion reactors could dramatically reshape global politics and economies by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Centralized fusion power offers consistency, whereas decentralized solar power fosters resilience and local control but is intermittent. Fusion faces technological challenges, while solar technology is readily expanding.

Explanation:

Worldwide Changes with Successful Fusion Reactors

The advent of successful fusion reactors would be a transformative event worldwide. Fusion promises a cleaner, nearly inexhaustible energy source compared to fossil fuels, which could significantly alter the current geopolitical landscape where oil and natural gas are dominant factors in international politics and economics. A shift toward fusion energy could lessen global dependence on fossil fuels, potentially reducing the geopolitical power of oil-rich nations and creating a new paradigm in the world economy. With hydrogen from water as fuel, countries may realign alliances and shift focus towards technological advancements and harnessing fusion energy efficiently.

Central vs. Distributed Power Generation

Electricity from a large central power station, such as a fusion reactor, offers economies of scale and a consistent power supply but requires a significant up-front investment and complex infrastructure. Meanwhile, smaller solar-based stations, which are often owned and operated by individuals, offer distributed generation, empowering local communities and enhancing energy resilience. However, solar energy faces challenges with intermittency and requires storage solutions to provide a reliable power supply.

The disadavantages of fusion, despite its potential, include the complexities and high costs associated with maintaining such a power source, as well as addressing issues related to radioactivity. On the other hand, the technology for solar power is already available today, with deployment expanding rapidly thanks to decreasing costs and improving battery storage technologies.

Challenges in Fusion Technology

Developing fusion reactors for electricity generation requires overcoming significant technical hurdles, such as achieving the necessary high temperatures and creating materials that can contain the fusion reaction without melting. Scientists are optimistic, yet the timeline for fusion reactors to become a commercial reality remains uncertain.

Give your answer in centimeters, to two significant figures.

Answer:

 The radius  of  the dish is [tex]R = 18cm[/tex]

Explanation:

  From the question we are told that

     The radius of the orbit is  = [tex]R = 35,000km = 35,000 *10^3 m[/tex]

    The power output of the power is  [tex]P = 1 kW = 1000W[/tex]

   The electric vector amplitude is given as [tex]E = 0.1 mV/m = 0.1 *10^{-3}V/m[/tex]

    The area of thereciever  is   [tex]A_R = 5cm^2[/tex]

Generally the intensity of the dish is mathematically represented as

         [tex]I = \frac{P}{A}[/tex]

Where A is the area orbit which is a sphere so this is obtained as

          [tex]A = 4 \pi r^2[/tex]

              [tex]= (4 * 3.142 * (35,000 *10^3)^2)[/tex]

              [tex]=1.5395*10^{16} m^2[/tex]

  Then substituting into the equation for intensity

          [tex]I_s = \frac{1000}{1.5395*10^{16}}[/tex]

            [tex]= 6.5*10^ {-14}W/m2[/tex]

 Now the intensity received by the dish can be mathematically evaluated as

              [tex]I_d = \frac{1}{2} * c \epsilon_o E_D ^2[/tex]

  Where c is thesped of light with a constant value  [tex]c = 3.0*10^8 m/s[/tex]

              [tex]\epsilon_o[/tex] is the permitivity of free space  with a value  [tex]8.85*10^{-12} N/m[/tex]

              [tex]E_D[/tex] is the electric filed on the dish

So  since we are to assume to loss then the intensity of the satellite is equal to the intensity incident on the receiver dish

      Now making the eletric field intensity the subject of the formula

                  [tex]E_D = \sqrt{\frac{2 * I_d}{c * \epsilon_o} }[/tex]

substituting values

                 [tex]E_D = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 6.5*10^{-14}}{3.0*10^{8} * 8.85*10^{-12}} }[/tex]

                       [tex]= 7*10^{-6} V/m[/tex]

The incident power on the dish is what is been reflected to the receiver

                [tex]P_D = P_R[/tex]

Where [tex]P_D[/tex] is the power incident on the dish which is mathematically represented as

              [tex]P_D = I_d A_d[/tex]

                   [tex]= \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon_o E_D^2 (\pi R^2)[/tex]

And  [tex]P_R[/tex] is the power incident on the dish which is mathematically represented as

                 [tex]P_R = I_R A_R[/tex]

                       [tex]= \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon_o E_R^2 A_R[/tex]

Now equating the two

                [tex]\frac{1}{2} c \epsilon_o E_D^2 (\pi R^2) = \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon_o E_R^2 A_R[/tex]

   Making R the subject we have

                   [tex]R = \sqrt{\frac{E_R^2 A_R}{\pi E_D^2} }[/tex]

Substituting values

                   [tex]R = \sqrt{\frac{(0.1 *10^{-3})^2 * 5}{\pi (7*10^{-6})^ 2} }[/tex]

                     [tex]R = 18cm[/tex]

A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 330g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstretched. The mass is released and falls, stretching the spring by 28cm before coming to rest at its lowest point. It then continues to oscillate vertically.

A. What is the spring constant?

B. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

C. What is the frequency of the oscillation?

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the spring, l = 50 cm

Mass, m = 330 g = 0.33 kg

(A) The mass is released and falls, stretching the spring by 28 cm before coming to rest at its lowest point. On applying second law of Newton at 14 cm below the lowest point we get :

[tex]kx=mg\\\\k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{0.33\times 9.8}{0.14}\\\\k=23.1\ N/m[/tex]

(B) The amplitude of the oscillation is half of the total distance covered. So, amplitude is 14 cm.

(C) The frequency of the oscillation is given by :

[tex]f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}} \\\\f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{23.1}{0.33}} \\\\f=1.33\ Hz[/tex]

A mass weighing 4 lb stretches a spring 2 in. Suppose that the mass is given an additional 6-in displacement in the positive direction and then released. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 6 lb when the mass has a velocity of 3 ft/s. Under the assumptions discussed in this section, formulate the initial value problem that governs the motion of the mass.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0[/tex]

Explanation:

The standard form of the 2nd order differential equation governing the motion of mass-spring system is given by

[tex]my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0[/tex]

Where m is the mass, ζ is the damping constant, and k is the spring constant.

The spring constant k can be found by

[tex]w - kL=0[/tex]

[tex]mg - kL=0[/tex]

[tex]4 - k\frac{1}{6}=0[/tex]

[tex]k = 4\times 6 =24[/tex]

The damping constant can be found by

[tex]F = -\zeta y'[/tex]

[tex]6 = 3\zeta[/tex]

[tex]\zeta = \frac{6}{3} = 2[/tex]

Finally, the mass m can be found by

[tex]w = 4[/tex]

[tex]mg=4[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4}{g}[/tex]

Where g is approximately 32 ft/s²

[tex]m = \frac{4}{32} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the required differential equation is

[tex]my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0[/tex]

The initial position is

[tex]y(0) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The initial velocity is

[tex]y'(0) = 0[/tex]

We formulated the initial value problem for a damped spring-mass system:

1/8 * d²x/dt² + 2 * dx/dt + 24 * x = 0

with initial conditions x(0) = 0.5 ft and dx/dt(0) = 0 ft/s.

Let's break down the problem with the given data:

The mass weighs 4 lb.The spring stretches 2 inches under this weight.Additional displacement given is 6 inches in the positive direction.Viscous resistance is 6 lb when the velocity is 3 ft/s.

First, find the spring constant k:

The weight of the mass stretches the spring by 2 inches (0.1667 feet).

The force exerted by the weight = 4 lb = mg

The spring force F = kx

So,

k = F/x k= 4 lb / 0.1667 ft k ≈ 24 lb/ft

The general form of the second-order differential equation governing the motion of the spring-mass-damper system is:

m*d²x/dt² + c*dx/dt + k*x = 0

The viscous resistance given is 6 lb at 3 ft/s. Therefore, the damping coefficient c:

c = 6 lb / 3 ft/s c = 2 lb·s/ft

The initial conditions are displacement 6 inches (0.5 feet) and initial velocity 0:

x(0) = 0.5 ft
dx/dt(0) = 0 ft/s

Combining these elements, the initial value problem is:

1/8 * d²x/dt² + 2 * dx/dt + 24 * x = 0
with x(0) = 0.5 ft and dx/dt(0) = 0 ft/s

We have to find the power emitted

Power emitted is equal to

[tex]P=I\times A[/tex]

[tex]=10^{-12}\times 4\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]=10^{-12}\times 4\times 3.14\times (5000)^2[/tex]

=[tex]314\times 10^{-6}watt=0.314mW[/tex]

So power emitted will be 0.314 mW

So option (A) will be correct option.

When a golfer tees off, the head of her golf club which has a mass of 152 g is traveling 44.8 m/s just before it strikes a 46.0 g golf ball at rest on a tee. Immediately after the collision, the club head continues to travel in the same direction but at a reduced speed of 27.7 m/s. Neglect the mass of the club handle and determine the speed of the golf ball just after impact.

Answers

Answer:

56.5 m/s²

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'........................ Equation 1

Where m = mass of the golf club, u = initial velocity of the golf club, m' = mass of the golf ball, u' = initial velocity of the golf ball, v = final velocity of the golf club, v' = final velocity of the golf ball.

From the question,

The golf ball is at rest, Hence u' = 0 m/s

mu = mv+m'v'

Make v' the subject of the equation

v' = (mu-mv)/m'........................... Equation 2

Given: m = 152 g = 0.152 kg, u = 44.8 m/s, v = 27.7 m/s, m' = 46 g = 0.046 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

v' = (0.152×44.8+0.152×27.7)/0.046

v' = (6.8096-4.2104)/0.046

v' = 2.5992/0.046

v' = 56.5 m/s²

In a ballistics test, a 26 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1000 m/s goes through a 35-cm-thick 400 kg stationary target and emerges with a speed of 950 m/s . The target is free to slide on a smooth horizontal surface.


How long is the bullet in the target?

Answers

Answer: 3.60*10^-4 s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of bullet, m = 26 g = 0.026 kg

Initial speed of bullet, u = 1000 m/s

Length of target, s = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Mass of target, M = 400 kg

Final speed of bullet, v = 950 m/s

Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as, making a subject of formula, we have

a = (v² - u²) / (2*s)

a = 950² - 1000² / 2 * 0.35

a = 902500 - 1000000 / 0.7

a = -97500 / 0.7

The acceleration = - 1.39*10^5 m/s² ( it is worthy of note that the acceleration is negative)

now, using another equation of motion, we have

v = u + a*t

we know our a, so we make t subject of formula

time t = (v-u) / a

t = (950 - 1000) / -1.39*10^5

t = -50 / -1.39*10^5

t = 3.60*10^-4 s

In a thunder and lightning storm there is a rule of thumb that many people follow. After seeing the lightning, count seconds to yourself. If it takes 5 seconds for the sound of the thunder to reach you, then the lightning bolt was 1 mile away from you. Sound travels at a speed of 331 meters/second. How accurate is the rule of thumb? Express your answer as a percent error.

Answers

Answer:

2.837% less than actual value.

Explanation:

Based on given information let's calculate our value.

S = Vxt = 331m/s x 5s = 1655m, that is the total distance that sound would travel in 5 seconds.

1mile = 1609.34meters.

percentage error is.

[tex]\frac{actual-calculated}{actual} *100 = \frac{1609.34-1655}{1609.34} *100 = -2.83%[/tex]

negative indicates less than actual value.

Final answer:

The rule of thumb that states the lightning bolt was one mile away for every five seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the thunder is not very accurate. The actual distance the lightning bolt would be approximately 3.19 miles away, which results in a percent error of approximately 219%. The rule tends to underestimate the distance to the lightning bolt.

Explanation:

The "rule of thumb that many people follow" during a thunder and lightning storm is based on the fact that light travels much faster than sound. When you see a flash of lightning, the sound wave created by the thunder associated with the lightning bolt takes more time to reach the observer than the light from the flash.

According to the rule of thumb, we estimate one mile per five seconds because sound travels at a speed of approximately 331 meters per second. However, to calculate the actual distance in miles, you would multiply the time (in seconds) by the speed of sound and convert to miles (1 meter = 0.00062137 miles). This gives an actual distance of about 0.00063741 miles/second. Therefore, for every second delay between the lightning and the thunder, the lightning bolt would be about 0.00063741 miles away.

So, if we see a flash of lightning and hear the thunder 5 seconds later, according to the accurate calculation, the lightning bolt was just over 3.19 miles away (5 seconds * 0.00063741 miles/second). That's a sizeable difference from the one-mile estimate given by the rule of thumb. To find the percent error, we subtract the accepted value from the experimental value, divide by the accepted value, and multiply by 100. That gives us a percent error of approximately 219%. So the rule of thumb is not particularly accurate.

Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg

Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s

To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns

When the man throws the rock forward

rock:

m1 = 0.300 kg

V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg

v2 = ?

Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2

53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2

v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2

v2 = 47.83 / 96.2

v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s
