The wavelength of green light is about the size of an atom. (T/F)

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

The wavelength of green light is about 500 nanometers, or two thousandths of a millimeter. The typical wavelength of a microwave oven is about 12 centimeters, which is larger than a baseball.

Answer 2

The statement is falls, because the the wavelength of green light is about 500 nm or 500 × 10⁻⁹ m. But the size of an atom is  about 1.2  × 10⁻¹⁰ m. Hence atomic size not equals the wavelength of green light.

What is wavelength?

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.  The upward peak in the wave is called crests and the downward peaks are called troughs.

The wavelength of high energy waves will be shorter. Visible region is in between IR and UV rays in the electromagnetic spectrum. Green light is in the exact middle region of the VIBGYOR. Thus, it is having a wavelength of 500 -520 nm or  500 × 10⁻⁹ m.

The size of an atom is estimated in the range of 1.2  × 10⁻¹⁰ m and it varies from element to element. However the atomic size is not comparable with the wavelength of green light.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 54.0 cmcm . The explorer finds that the pendulum completes 103 full swing cycles in a time of 132 s.What is the value of the acceleration of gravity on this planet?

Answers

Answer:

13.01 m/s²

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given as

T = 2π√(L/g) .......................... Equation 1

Where T = Period of the simple pendulum, L = Length of the pendulum, g = acceleration due to gravity of the planet.

Given; T = 132/103 = 1.28 s, L = 54 cm = 0.54 m, π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 1

1.28 = (2×3.14)√(0.54/g)

1.28 = 6.28√(0.54/g)

Making g the subject of the equation,

√(0.54/g) = 1.28/6.28

√(0.54/g) = 0.2038

0.54/g = (0.2038)²

0.54/g = 0.0415

g = 0.54/0.0415

g = 13.01 m/s²

Hence the value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 13.01 m/s²

A crude approximation of voice production is to consider the breathing passages and mouth to be a resonating tube closed at one end. What is the fundamental frequency if the tube is 0.203-m long, by taking air temperature to be 37.0ºC?

Answers

Answer:

435.467980296 Hz

Explanation:

T = Temperature = 37.0ºC

L = Length of the tube = 0.203 m

Speed of sound at a specific temperature is given by

[tex]v=331.4+0.6\times T\\\Rightarrow v=331.4+0.6\times 37\\\Rightarrow v=353.6\ m/s[/tex]

Frequency is given by (one end open other end closed)

[tex]f=\dfrac{v}{4L}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{353.6}{4\times 0.203}\\\Rightarrow f=435.467980296\ Hz[/tex]

The fundamental frequency is 435.467980296 Hz

Final answer:

The fundamental frequency of a tube, considered as an approximation for the vocal apparatus and closed at one end, with a length of 0.203 meters and at an air temperature of 37°C, is calculated using the formula for frequency f=Vw/(4L). Substituting in the values, the fundamental frequency is about 432 Hz.

Explanation:

The given question involves a concept from physics, specifically sound waves and resonance. When considering the breathing passages and mouth as a resonating tube closed at one end, the fundamental resonant frequency can be calculated using the formula Vw = fa, where Vw is the speed of sound, f represents frequency, and a is the wavelength.

For a tube closed at one end, the wavelength (λ) is four times the length of the tube. So, λ = 4L. We can rearrange the formula to solve for fundamental frequency: f = Vw / a = Vw / (4L).

If the air temperature is 37°C, the speed of sound (Vw) in air is approximately 351 m/s. Substituting these values in, you get: f = 351m/s / (4*0.203m) ≈ 432 Hz. So, the fundamental frequency of this tube (our vocal apparatus approximation) at 37°C would be about 432 Hz.

An astronaut takes her bathroom scales to the moon, where g = 1.6 m/. On the moon, compared to at home on earth:

(A) Her weight is less, and her mass is less.
(B) Her weight is the same, and her mass is less.
(C) Her weight is the same, and her mass is the same.
(D) Her weight is less, and her mass is the same.
(E) Her weight is zero, and her mass is the same.

Answers

Answer: (D) Her weight is less, and her mass is the same.

Explanation:

Mass is the total amount of matter contained in the body.

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on a mass.

[tex]weight=mass\times gravity[/tex]

When the value of g is more, weight is more.

For moon g= [tex]1.6m/s^2[/tex] , whereas for earth [tex]g=9.8m/s^2[/tex]

Thus weight is more on earth as compared to moon.

On the moon, compared to at home on earth: Her weight is less, and her mass is the same.

Answer:

Explanation:

Weight is defined as the force with which a planet pulls the object towards its centre.

Weight = mass  x acceleration due to gravity of the planet

W = m x g

The amount of matter contained in the substance is called mass.

the mass of the substance remains same at every planet but the weight is changed as the value of acceleration due to gravity is different for all the planets.

As the acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1.6 m/s^2 and it is less than the acceleration due to gravity on earth. So, the weight of the astronaut is less than the weight on earth and mass remains same.

Weight is less but the mass is same.

An amusement park ride consists of a car moving in a vertical circle on the end of a rigid boom of negligible mass. The combined weight of the car and riders is 5.30 kN, and the radius of the circle is 12.0 m. At the top of the circle, (a) what is the force FB on the car from the boom (using the minus sign for downward direction) if the car's speed is v = 3.60 m/s? (b) What is FB if v = 14.0 m/s? Use g=9.80 m/s2.

Answers

Explanation:

As the force is given as 5.30 kN or [tex]5.30 \times 1000 N[/tex]. Hence, mass will be calculated as follows.

           [tex]F_{w}[/tex] = mg

         [tex]5.30 \times 10^{3} = m \times 9.8 m/s^{2}[/tex]

                   m = 540.816 kg

(a)  At the top, centripetal force [tex]F_{c}[/tex] is acting upwards and the weight of the riders and car, [tex]F_{w}[/tex] will be acting downwards.

Therefore, force on the car by the boom will be calculated as follows.

                   [tex]F_{B} = F_{w} - F_{c}[/tex]

or,          [tex]F_{B} = mg - \frac{mv^{2}}{r}[/tex]

                         = [tex]5.30 \times 1000 N - \frac{540.816 kg \times (3.60)^{2}}{12}[/tex]

                         = 4715.919 N

Hence, the force [tex]F_{B}[/tex] on the car from the boom is 4715.919 N. This means that the car will be hanging on the boom and the boom will exert an upward force.

(b)   Now at the top, centripetal force [tex]F_{c}[/tex] will be acting upwards and the weight of cars and car riders will be acting in the downwards direction.

Hence, we will calculate the force on car by the boom as follows.

       [tex]F_{B} = F_{w} - F_{c}[/tex]

or,         [tex]F_{B} = mg - \frac{mv^{2}}{r}[/tex]

                        = [tex]5.30 \times 1000 N - \frac{540.816 kg \times (14.0)^{2}}{12}[/tex]

                        = -3533.33 N

Therefore, car will be pushing on the boom and the boom will exert a downward force.  

A very weak pressure wave, i.e., a sound wave, across which the pressure rise is 30 Pa moves through air which has a temperature of 30°C and a pressure of 101 kPa. Find the density change, the temperature change, and the velocity change across this wave

Answers

Answer:

Density change, Δρ = 2.4 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m³

Temperature Change, ΔT = 0.0258 K

Velocity Change, Δc = 0.0148 m/s

Explanation:

For sound waves moving through the air,

Pressure and Temperature varies thus

(P₀/P) = (T₀/T)^(k/(k-1))

Where P₀ = initial pressure of air = 101KPa = 101000 Pa

P = final pressure of air due to the change brought about by the moving sound wave = 101000+30 = 101030 Pa

T₀ = initial temperature of air = 30°C = 303.15 K

T = final temperature of air = ?

k = ratio of specific heats = Cp/Cv = 1.4

(101000/101030) = (303.15/T)^(1.4/(1.4-1))

0.9990703 =(303.15/T)^(3.5)

Solving This,

T = 303.1758 K

ΔT = T - T₀ = 303.1758 - 303.15 = 0.0258 K

Density can be calculate in two ways,

First method

Δρ = ρ - ρ₀

P₀ = ρ₀RT₀

ρ₀ = P₀/RT₀

R = gas constant for air = 287 J/kg.k

where all of these are values for air before the wave propagates

P₀ = 101000 Pa, R = 287 J/kg.K, T₀ = 303.15K

ρ₀ = 101000/(287 × 303.15) = 1.1608655 kg/m³

ρ = P/RT

P = 101030 Pa, T = 303.1758K

ρ = 101030/(287×303.1758) = 1.1611115 kg/m³

Δρ = ρ - ρ₀ = 1.1611115 - 1.1608655 = 0.00024 kg/m³ = 2.4 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m³

Second method

(ρ₀/ρ) = (T₀/T)^(1/(k-1))

Where ρ₀ is initially calculated from ρ₀ = P₀/RT₀, then ρ is then computed and the diff taken.

Velocity Change

c₀ = √(kRT₀) = √(1.4 × 287 × 303.15) = 349.00669 m/s

c = √(kRT) = √(1.4 × 287 × 303.1758) = 349.0215415 m/s

Δc = c₀ - c = 349.0215415 - 349.00669 = 0.0148 m/s

QED!

In this exercise we have to use the pressure knowledge to calculate the velocity, temperature and density so we have:

Density: [tex]\Delta \rho = 2.4 * 10^{-4} kg/m^3[/tex]Temperature: [tex]\Delta T = 0.0258 K[/tex]Velocity: Δc = 0.0148 m/s

The variation of temperature and pressure is given by the formula of:

[tex](P_0/P) = (T_0/T)^{(k/(k-1))}[/tex]

From the formula given above we can identify:

P₀ = initial pressure of airP = final pressure of air due to the change brought about by the moving sound wave T₀ = initial temperature of air T = final temperature of airk = ratio of specific heats

Solving the formula  for temperature we find:

[tex](101000/101030) = (303.15/T)^{(1.4/(1.4-1))}\\0.9990703 =(303.15/T)^{(3.5)}\\T = 303.1758 K\\\Delta T = T - T_0 = 303.1758 - 303.15 = 0.0258 K[/tex]

They are using the formula for density is:

[tex]\rho_0 = 101000/(287 * 303.15) = 1.1608655 kg/m^3\\\rho = P/RT\\\rho = 101030/(287*303.1758) = 1.1611115 kg/m^3\\\Delta \rho = 2.4 * 10^{-4} kg/m^3[/tex]

Calculating the speed we find that:

[tex]c_0 = \sqrt{kRT_0} = 349.00669 m/s\\c = \sqrt{kRT} = 349.0215415 m/s\\\Delta c = 0.0148 m/s[/tex]

To determine the change in entropy when the gases mix adiabatically and completely, we'll follow these steps:

1. Calculate the initial entropy of each gas before mixing.

2. Calculate the final entropy of the combined gases after mixing.

3. Calculate the change in entropy.

Given information:

For nitrogen gas:

- Moles of nitrogen gas, [tex]n_N2[/tex] = 4 mol

- Temperature of nitrogen gas, [tex]T_N2[/tex] = 75°C = 75 + 273.15 K

- Pressure of nitrogen gas, [tex]P_N2[/tex] = 30 bar = 30 * 100 kPa

For argon gas:

- Moles of argon gas, [tex]n_Ar[/tex] = 2.5 mol

- Temperature of argon gas, [tex]T_Ar[/tex] = 130°C = 130 + 273.15 K

- Pressure of argon gas, [tex]P_VR[/tex] = 20 bar = 20 * 100 kPa

Given specific heat capacities :

- [tex]CV_N2[/tex] = (5/2)R for nitrogen gas

- [tex]CV_Ar[/tex] = (3/2)R for argon gas

The change in entropy, ΔS, can be calculated using the equation:

[tex]\[ΔS = n_{\text{N2}} \cdot C_{V_{\text{N2}}} \cdot \ln\left(\frac{T_f}{T_{\text{N2}}}\right) + n_{\text{Ar}} \cdot C_{V_{\text{Ar}}} \cdot \ln\left(\frac{T_f}{T_{\text{Ar}}}\right)\][/tex]

where [tex]\(T_f\)[/tex]  is the final temperature after mixing.

1. Calculate the initial entropy of each gas:

[tex]\[S_{\text{N2}} = n_{\text{N2}} \cdot C_{V_{\text{N2}}} \cdot \ln\left(\frac{T_{\text{N2}}}{T_0}\right)\][/tex]

[tex]\[S_{\text{Ar}} = n_{\text{Ar}} \cdot C_{V_{\text{Ar}}} \cdot \ln\left(\frac{T_{\text{Ar}}}{T_0}\right)\][/tex]

where [tex]\(T_0\)[/tex] is the reference temperature (usually taken as 298.15 K).

2. Calculate the final temperature after mixing using the adiabatic process equation:

[tex]\[T_f = \left(\frac{n_{\text{N2}} \cdot C_{V_{\text{N2}}} \cdot T_{\text{N2}} + n_{\text{Ar}} \cdot C_{V_{\text{Ar}}} \cdot T_{\text{Ar}}}{n_{\text{N2}} \cdot C_{V_{\text{N2}}} + n_{\text{Ar}} \cdot C_{V_{\text{Ar}}}}\right)\][/tex]

3. Calculate the change in entropy using the formula above.

Let's plug in the values and calculate the change in entropy. First, we'll calculate the initial entropies of each gas:

[tex]\[S_{\text{N2}} = 4 \times \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)R \times \ln\left(\frac{75 + 273.15}{298.15}\right)\][/tex]

[tex]\[S_{\text{Ar}} = 2.5 \times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)R \times \ln\left(\frac{130 + 273.15}{298.15}\right)\][/tex]

Now, calculate [tex]\(T_f\)[/tex] using the adiabatic process equation:

[tex]\[T_f = \left(\frac{4 \times \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)R \times 75 + 2.5 \times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)R \times 130}{4 \times \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)R + 2.5 \times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)R}\right)\][/tex]

Finally, calculate the change in entropy:

[tex]\[ΔS = 4 \times \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)R \times \ln\left(\frac{T_f}{75 + 273.15}\right) + 2.5 \times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)R \times \ln\left(\frac{T_f}{130 + 273.15}\right)\][/tex]

Borrow soil is used to fill a 75,000m3 depression. The borrow soil has the following characteristics. Density: 1540kg/m3, water content: 8%, specific gravity of the solids: 2.66. The final in-place dry density should be 1790 kg/m3 and the final water content should be 13%. a) How many m3 of borrow soil are needed to fill the depression? b) Assuming no evaporation loss, what water mass is needed to achieve 13% moisture?

Answers

Answer

given,

Volume of Depression, V = 75000 m³

borrow soil

Density of soil,γ = 1540 Kg/m³

water content,w = 8 % = 0.08

Specific gravity of solid,G = 2.66

Final in-place

dry density = 1790 kg/m³

water content = 13 % = 0.13

a) Volume of borrow soil require to fill the depression

   Mass of solid solid,m= dry density of inplace soil x Volume of depression

                              = 1790 x 75000

                           m = 1.3425 x 10⁸ Kg

dry density of the borrow pit

 [tex]\gamma_d = \dfrac{\gamma}{1 + w}[/tex]

 [tex]\gamma_d = \dfrac{1540}{1 + 0.08}[/tex]

 [tex]\gamma_d = 1425.93\ kg/m^3[/tex]

To answer this question, we must first understand the relationship between the initial and final states of the borrow soil in terms of their volumes, densities, and moisture contents. The question is divided into two parts: calculating the volume of borrow soil needed and determining the water mass addition required to achieve the desired moisture content.

a) How many m³ of borrow soil are needed to fill the depression?

Since we want to fill a depression with a volume of 75,000 m³, we need to consider the change in density from the borrow state to the in-place dry density. The in-place dry density is given as 1790 kg/m³. The dry density of the borrow soil can be calculated by subtracting the mass of water from the total mass.

First, we convert the water content to a decimal by dividing by 100:
Water content = 8% / 100 = 0.08

Using the formula for dry density (
dry density = total density / (1 + water content)), we find:
Dry density of borrow soil = 1540 kg/m³ / (1 + 0.08) = 1425.93 kg/m³

The volume of the borrow soil needed can be calculated by the volume of the depression divided by the ratio of the final in-place dry density to the dry density of the borrow soil:
Volume of borrow soil needed = 75,000 m³ x (1790 kg/m³ / 1425.93 kg/m³) = 93,590.46 m³

b) Assuming no evaporation loss, what water mass is needed to achieve 13% moisture?

For the final water content of 13%, we'll use the in-place dry density to determine the total mass, then calculate the water mass needed:
Total in-place mass = volume x in-place dry density
Total in-place mass of fill = 75,000 m³ x 1790 kg/m³= 134,250,000 kg

Convert 13% to decimal:
Water content = 13% / 100 = 0.13

We want 13% of the total mass to be water, so the water mass required is:
Water mass = total mass x water content
Water mass needed = 134,250,000 kg x 0.13 = 17,452,500 kg

This is the additional water mass required to achieve the desired moisture content of 13%.

By what factor must we increase the amplitude of vibration of an object at the end of a spring in order to double its maximum speed during a vibration? A is the old amplitude and A′ is the new one.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A'=2A[/tex]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system can be expresed as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy:

[tex]E=U+K=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\E=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}[/tex]

When the spring is in its equilibrium position, that is [tex]x=0[/tex], the object speed its maximum. So, we have:

[tex]\frac{k(0)^2}{2}+\frac{mv_{max}^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\A^2=\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}\\A=\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}[/tex]

In order to double its maximum speed, that is [tex]v'{max}=2v_{max}[/tex]. We have:

[tex]A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(v'_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(2v_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{4mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2A[/tex]

The factor we must increase the amplitude of the vibration to double its maximum speed is 2.

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the amplitude;

[tex]U = K.E\\\\\frac{1}{2} KA^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\KA^2 = mv^2\\\\A^2 = \frac{m}{K} v^2\\\\\frac{A_1^2}{v_1^2 } = \frac{A_2^2}{v_2^2 } \\\\A_2 = \frac{v_2 A_1}{v_1} \\\\A_2 = \frac{2v_1 \times A_1}{v_1} \\\\A_2 =2A_1[/tex]

Thus, the factor we must increase the amplitude of the vibration to double its maximum speed is 2.

Some plants disperse their seeds when the fruit splits and contracts, propelling the seeds through the air. The trajectory of these seeds can be determined with a high-speed camera. In an experiment on one type of plant, seeds are projected at 20 cm above ground level with initial speeds between 2.3 m/s and 4.6 m/s. The launch angle is measured from the horizontal, with + 90° corresponding to an initial velocity straight up and – 90° straight down.

About how long does it take a seed launched at 90° at the highest possible initial speed to reach its maximum height? Ignore air resistance. (a) 0.23 s; (b) 0.47 s; (c) 1.0 s; (d) 2.3 s.

Answers

Final answer:

The seed takes approximately 0.47 seconds to reach its maximum height when launched at 90° with the highest possible initial speed of 4.6 m/s.

Explanation:

When a seed is launched with an initial speed of 4.6 m/s and at an angle of 90°, the vertical component of the initial velocity is 4.6 m/s. The time it takes for a projectile to reach its maximum height can be calculated using the equation for vertical motion:



t = (Vf - Vi) / g



Where:


t is the time

Vf is the final velocity (which is 0 m/s at the maximum height)

Vi is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)


Using the given information, we can calculate the time it takes for the seed to reach its maximum height:


t = (0 - 4.6) / -9.8 = 0.469 s

Therefore, the seed takes approximately 0.47 seconds to reach its maximum height.

Answers

Answer:

The speed the glow-worm would have accelerated after 10 years if released into free space and assumed to live is 3.09 X 10³⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Energy associated with photon of lights, is given as

E = hc/λ

Where;

h is Planck's constant =  6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ m2 kg/s

C is the speed of light = ?

λ is the light's wavelength = 650nm = 650 X10⁻⁹ m

Also Energy = Power X time

Time given = 10 years

Time in seconds = 10 yrs X 365 days X 24 hrs X 60mins X 60 secs

Time in seconds = 315360000 seconds

P*t = hc/λ

c = (P*t*λ)/h

c = (0.1 X 315360000 X 650 X 10⁻⁹)/(6.626 x 10⁻³⁴)

c = 3.09 X 10³⁴ m/s

https://brainly.com/question/7359669

Final answer:

To determine the initial launch speed of the rock, we can use the equations of projectile motion. Since the rock is thrown horizontally, and it travels 20 m horizontally in 1 second, the initial launch speed can be calculated as 20 m/s.

Explanation:

To determine the initial launch speed of the rock, we can use the equations of projectile motion. Since the rock is thrown horizontally, its initial vertical velocity is zero. The only force acting on the rock in the vertical direction is gravity, which causes it to accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s². Using the formula:

-yf = yi + vit - 1/2gt²

where yi represents the initial height and yf represents the final height, we can solve for the initial downward velocity. Since the rock reaches the ground (yf = 0) and starts at a height of 4.9 m, the equation becomes:

0 = 4.9 + 0 - 1/2(9.8)t²

Simplifying the equation gives:

t² = 4.9/4.9

t = 1 second.

Since the horizontal distance traveled by the rock is 20 m, and it takes 1 second to reach the ground, the horizontal speed (initial launch speed) of the rock can be calculated using the formula:

v = d/t = 20 m/1 s = 20 m/s.

Therefore, the rock's initial launch speed is 20 m/s.

Final answer:

Here, the spatial and temporal parts of the wave function are A sin(kx) and sin(ωt), respectively. The displacement of the string at x=0 is 0. Although the string is straight at time t=π/2ω, there is still energy stored in it due to parts of the string having nonzero velocity.

Part E: At position x=0, the displacement of the string is 0. This occurs because, for the wave equation, when inputting x=0 into the spatial part, the value for y becomes 0.

Part G: The correct answer is option c. Although the string is straight at time t=π/2ω, parts of the string have nonzero velocity. Therefore, there is energy stored in the string.

Spring #1 has spring constant 61.0 N/m. Spring #2 has an unknown spring constant, but when connected in series with Spring #1, the connected springs have an effective spring constant of 20.0 N/m. What is the spring constant for Spring #2?

Answers

Answer:

29.79 N/m

Explanation:

A spring connected in series behaves like a capacitor connected in series.

Note: Spring and capacitor are alike because they both store energy, While the former store mechanical energy, the later store electrical energy.

From the above, the effective spring connected in series is given by the formula below

1/Kt = 1/K1 + 1/K2 ........................ Equation 1

Where Kt = effective spring constant, K1 = spring constant of spring 1, K2 = spring constant of spring 2

Making K2 the subject of the equation,

K2 = KtK1/(K1-Kt)..................... Equation 2

Given: K1 = 61 N/m, Kt = 20 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

K2 = (61×20)/(61-20)

K2 = 1220/41

K2 = 29.76 N/m.

Hence the spring constant in the second spring = 29.79 N/m

Final answer:

The spring constant for Spring #2 is 369.17 N/m.

Explanation:

To find the spring constant of Spring #2, we need to use the formula for the effective spring constant of springs in series. The formula is:

1/keff = 1/k1 + 1/k2

Given that k1 = 61.0 N/m and the effective spring constant (keff) is 20.0 N/m, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for k2:

1/20 = 1/61 + 1/k2

Now we can solve for k2:

1/k2 = 1/20 - 1/61

k2 = 1/(1/20 - 1/61)

k2 = 369.17 N/m

If the alpha particle moves off at 25.4° above the x axis with a speed of 1.4 × 107 m/s, what is the recoil velocity of the thorium nucleus? Assume the uranium-thorium-alpha system is isolated; you may also assume the particles are pointlike.

Answers

Answer:

v_th = 3.1 * 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- mass of 238-Uranium m_u = 3.952 *10^-25 kg

- mass of alpha particle m_a = 6.64 * 10^-27 kg

- mass of thorium particle m_th = 3.885*10^-25 kg

- velocity of 238-Uranium v_u = 5.0 *10^5 m/s

- velocity of alpha particle v_a = 1.4 *10^7 m/s

Find:

- The recoil velocity of the thorium particle.

Solution:

- To solve this problem we will use conservation of momentum in both x and y direction.

- Momentum conservation in x-direction:

                                        P_i = P_f

                  m_u*v_u = m_a*v_a*cos(Q) + m_th*v_th,x

where v_th,x is the x component of thorium velocity:

                 P_i = 3.952 *10^-25 * 5.0 *10^5 = 1.976*10^-19

      P_f = 6.64 * 10^-27*1.4 *10^7*cos(25.4) + 3.885*10^-25*v_th,x

                 P_f = 8.3974*10^-20 + 3.885*10^-25*v_th,x

Hence,

             1.976*10^-19 = 9.296*10^-20 + 3.885*10^-25*v_th,x

                         v_th,x = 2.92473 * 10^5 m/s        

- Momentum conservation in y-direction:

                                        P_i = P_f

                         0 = m_a*v_a*sin(Q) + m_th*v_th,y

where v_th,x is the x component of thorium velocity:

                         v_th,y = m_a*v_a*sin(Q) / m_th    

        v_th,y = 6.64 * 10^-27*1.4 *10^7*sin(25.4) / 3.885*10^-25

Hence,

                            v_th,y = 1.02635 * 10^5 m/s        

- The magnitude of recoil velocity:

                        v_th = sqrt ( v_th,x ^2 + v_th,y ^2 )

            v_th = sqrt ( (2.92473 * 10^5)^2 + (1.02635 * 10^5)^2 )

                                  v_th = 3.1 * 10^5 m/s

Answers

Answer:

238 Degree

Explanation:

Data given

F1=(3.3,-0.5) and F2=(-3.8,-0.3).

To determine the angle F1+F2 makes with the positive x-axis, we need to determine the magnitude of the force F1+F2.

Since force is a vector quantity, we add the vectors component by component

[tex]F_{1}+F_{2}=<3.3,-0.5> +<-3.8,-0.3>\\F_{1}+F_{2}=<3.3+(-3.8), -0.5+(-0.3)>\\ F_{1}+F_{2}=<-0.5,-0.8>\\F_{1}+F_{2}=(-0.5,-0.8)[/tex]

To determine the angle, we use

[tex]F=(x,y)\\\alpha=arctan(\frac{y}{x} )\\Hence for \\F_{1}+F_{2}=(-0.5,-0.8)\\\alpha=arctan(\frac{-0.8}{-0.5} )\\\alpha=58^{0}[/tex]

Since the component of the force F1+F2 is a negative y and negative x which are located in the  3rd quadrant,  the angle can be calculated as

∝=58+180=238 degree

Hence The angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis and must be in the range from 0 to 360 degrees is 238 Degree

The angle measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis is θ = 57.99°

Finding the direction of the force.

Here we know that:

F1 = (3.3, -0.5)F2 = (-3.8, -0.3)

First, we need to add the forces, we will get:

F1 + F2 =  (3.3, -0.5) + (-3.8, -0.3) = (3.3 - 3.8, -0.5 - 0.3))

F1 + F2 = (-0.5, -0.8)

Now, the angle measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis of a vector

(a, b) is given by:

θ = Atan(b/a).

Where Atan(x) is the inverse tangent function.

So in this case the angle will be:

θ = Atan(-0.8/-0.5) = 57.99°

g-The ball's horizontal acceleration is oppoite the direction of the throw
h-The ball's vertical acceleration is upwards

Answers

Answer:

a.The ball's vertical acceleration is downwards.e.The ball's horizontal acceleration is zero

Explanation:

We are given that Sarah throws a tennis ball as far as she can.

At the moment the ball reaches its maximum height.

We have to find the true statement if air resistance is neglect.

When air resistance is negligible then the force act on the ball is force due to gravity.

The ball throw vertically then the acceleration act on the ball is acceleration due to gravity.

The value of g=-9.8 m/square sec

It acts on the ball in downward direction .

Therefore, the ball's vertical acceleration is downwards.

The horizontal acceleration is zero because the ball reaches at maximum height then there is no force which act in horizontal direction on the ball.

Therefore, horizontal acceleration of the ball is zero.

Hence, option a and e are true.

The statement B is correct which states that "The ball's vertical acceleration is downwards".

The statement E is correct which states that "The ball's horizontal acceleration is zero".

How do you find out which statement is true?

The given condition is that Sarah throws a tennis ball as far as she can. Also given that the air resistance is negligible.

Let consider that the ball is thrown vertically. In this case, the force on the ball is the force due to gravitational acceleration on the ball.

Hence the vertical acceleration on the ball is equivalent to the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. The vertical force acting on the ball will be in a downward direction because this is the force due to gravity.

Hence the statement B is correct which states that "The ball's vertical acceleration is downwards".

When the ball reaches its maximum height, the horizontal acceleration will be zero on the ball, as there is no force acting on the ball in the horizontal direction.

Hence the statement E is correct which states that "The ball's horizontal acceleration is zero".

The subject of this question is Physics, specifically the concepts related to mechanics and forces on inclines with friction. The student is in High School level, most likely studying the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics.

Given that the bin is already being pushed up the incline with a 26-N force and moves at a constant speed, this means the net force on the bin is zero, therefore the force of friction must also be 26 N but acting downwards along the incline. When the bin moves down at a constant velocity, the force of friction still acts up the incline (opposite to the bin's movement) and therefore, to maintain a constant velocity, the force applied must be equal in magnitude to the frictional force but directed down the incline. Hence, a 26-N force must be applied down and parallel to the incline for the bin to move down the incline at constant velocity.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward a gold nucleus, and its path was substantially deflected by the Coulomb interaction. If the energy of the doubly charged alpha nucleus was 5.97 MeV, how close (in m) to the gold nucleus (79 protons) could it come before being deflected?

Answers

Answer:

3.8 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.97 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV) =  9.564 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 9.564 × 10⁻¹³ = 3.8 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

The bullet starts at rest in the gun. An 8.6 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 430.1 m/s. What constant force is exerted on the bullet while it is traveling down the 0.5 m length of the barrel of the rifle?

Answers

Answer:

The constant force exerted on the bullet is 1590.87 N.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 8.6 g

Initial speed of the bullet, u = 0          

Final speed of the bullet, v = 430.1 m/s

We need to find the force exerted on the bullet while it is traveling down the 0.5 m length of the barrel of the rifle. Let a is the acceleration of the bullet. So,

[tex]v^2-u^2=2ad[/tex]

[tex]v^2=2ad[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{2d}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{(430.1)^2}{2\times 0.5}[/tex]

[tex]a=184986.01\ m/s^2[/tex]

Let F is the force exerted. It is given by :

[tex]F=ma[/tex]

[tex]F=8.6\times 10^{-3}\times 184986.01[/tex]

F = 1590.87 N

So, the constant force exerted on the bullet is 1590.87 N. Hence, this is the required solution.                                                  

The space shuttle fleet was designed with two booster stages. if the first stage provides a thrust of 53 kilo-newtons and the space shuttle has an acceleration of 18,000 miles per hour squared, what is the mass of the spacecraft in units of pounds-mass?

Answers

Use Newton's second law to find the mass in kilograms, and finally convert it to pounds-mass, which is approximately 14.52 pounds-mass.

The question asks us to calculate the mass of the spacecraft given the thrust of the first booster stage and the acceleration of the space shuttle. To find the mass, we use Newton's second law of motion, which states that Force = [tex]mass imes acceleration (F = m imes a).[/tex] However, we first need to convert the given acceleration from miles per hour squared to meters per second squared, and then convert the mass obtained in kilograms to pounds-mass.

First, let's convert the acceleration: 18,000 miles/hour2 is approximately 8,046.72 m/s2 (using the conversion factor 1 mile = 1,609.34 meters and 1 hour = 3600 seconds). Next, we can calculate the mass (in kilograms) by rearranging the formula to m = F / a, which gives us 53,000 N / 8,046.72 m/s2
= approximately 6.59 kilograms. We then convert kilograms to pounds-mass (1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds), resulting in the mass of the spacecraft being approximately 14.52 pounds-mass.

The mass of the spacecraft is approximately [tex]261,313.24\ pounds[/tex] mass.

To find the mass of the spacecraft, we can use Newton's second law of motion:

[tex]\[ F = ma \][/tex]

where:

[tex]- \( F \)[/tex] is the force (thrust) provided by the first stage ([tex]53 kN[/tex]),

[tex]- \( m \)[/tex] is the mass of the spacecraft,

[tex]- \( a \)[/tex] is the acceleration ([tex]18,000 \ mph^2[/tex]).

First, let's convert the thrust from kilo-newtons (kN) to newtons (N), since the unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²):

[tex]\[ 1 \text{ kN} = 1000 \text{ N} \][/tex]

So, [tex]53 kN[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\(53 \times 1000 = 53000\) N.[/tex]

Now, let's convert the acceleration from miles per hour squared (mph²) to meters per second squared (m/s²).

[tex]\[ 1 \text{ mph} = \frac{1609.34}{3600} \text{ m/s} \][/tex]

[tex]1 mph^2 = \left(\frac{1609.34}{3600}\right)^2 \text{ m/s²}[/tex]

[tex]1 mph^2 = 0.447 m/s^2}[/tex]

We can rearrange Newton's second law to solve for the mass [tex]\( m \)[/tex]

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

[tex]\[ m = \frac{53000 \text{ N}}{0.447 \text{ m/s²}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ m = 118488 \text{ kg} \][/tex]

To convert kilograms to pounds-mass, we use the conversion factor:

[tex]\[ 1 \text{ kg} = 2.20462 \text{ pounds-mass} \][/tex]

So,

[tex]\[ \text{mass (pounds-mass)} = 118488 \text{ kg} \times 2.20462 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{mass (pounds-mass)} = 261313.24 \text{ pounds-mass} \][/tex]

Two 2.00 cm * 2.00 cm plates that form a parallel-plate capacitor are charged to { 0.708 nC. What are the electric field strength inside and the potential difference across the capacitor if the spacing between the plates is (a) 1.00 mm and (b) 2.00 mm.

Answers

Final answer:

The electric field strength between parallel conducting plates can be calculated using the formula E = V/d, where E is the electric field strength, V is the potential difference between the plates, and d is the spacing between the plates. For a spacing of 1.00 mm, the electric field strength is 7.08 × 10^-8 N/C. For a spacing of 2.00 mm, the electric field strength is 3.54 × 10^-8 N/C.

Explanation:

The electric field strength between parallel conducting plates can be calculated using the formula:

E = V/d

Where E is the electric field strength, V is the potential difference between the plates, and d is the spacing between the plates. In this case, the potential difference is given as 0.708 nC, or 0.708 × 10-9 C.

To find the electric field strength, we need to convert the charge to coulombs and divide it by the spacing between the plates. For a spacing of 1.00 mm (or 0.01 cm), the electric field strength is:

E = (0.708 × 10-9 C) / (0.01 cm) = 7.08 × 10-8 N/C

For a spacing of 2.00 mm (or 0.02 cm), the electric field strength is:

E = (0.708 × 10-9 C) / (0.02 cm) = 3.54 × 10-8 N/C

The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 2000 N/C. The potential difference is 2 V for a 1.00 mm separation and 4 V for a 2.00 mm separation between the plates.

To find the electric field strength (E) and potential difference (V) across a parallel-plate capacitor, we use the following steps:

Calculate the area (A) of the plates: A = 2.00 cm * 2.00 cm = 4.00 cm² = 4.00 * 10-4 m².Determine the charge (Q) on the plates: Q = 0.708 nC = 0.708 * 10-9 C.(a) For plate separation (d) of 1.00 mm:Compute the electric field: E = Q / (ε₀ * A) = (0.708 * 10-9 C) / (8.854 * 10-12 C²/N∙m² * 4.00 * 10-4 m²) ≈ 2000 N/C.Potential difference: V = E * d = 2000 N/C * 1.00 * 10-3 m = 2 V.(b) For plate separation of 2.00 mm:Electric field remains the same: E ≈ 2000 N/C.Potential difference: V = E * d = 2000 N/C * 2.00 * 10-3 m = 4 V.

Therefore, the electric field strength inside the capacitor is 2000 N/C, the potential difference is 2 V for 1.00 mm separation, and 4 V for 2.00 mm separation.

In building a particle accelerator, you manage to produce a uniform electric field of magnitude 6.03 × 10 5 N/C in one 35.5 cm section. Calculate the magnitude of the electric potential difference across the length of the accelerator's section. How much work is required to move a proton through the section?

Answers

Answer:

V = 2.14×10⁵ V.

W = 3.424×10⁻¹⁴ J.

Explanation:

Electric Potential: This can be defined as the work done in bringing  a unit positive charge from infinity to that point, against the action of a field.

The S.I unit is V.

The expression containing electric potential, distance and electric field is given as,

V = E×r .............. Equation 1

Where V = Electric potential difference across the length of the accelerator's section, E = Electric Field, r = Length of the section.

Given: E = 6.03×10⁵ N/C, r = 35.5 cm = 0.355 m.

Substitute into equation 1

V = 6.03×10⁵×0.355

V = 2.14065×10⁵ V.

V ≈  2.14×10⁵ V.

amount of Work required to move a proton through the section is given as,

W = qV ............... Equation 2

Where W = work required to move a proton through the section, q = charge on a proton V = Electric potential.

Given: V = 2.14×10⁵ V, q = 1.60 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

Substitute into equation 2

W = (2.14×10⁵)(1.60 x 10⁻¹⁹)

W = 3.424×10⁻¹⁴ J.
