Answer:

Pencil is to pen

Step by step explanation:

They are similar items, as they are both tools, but are different as to how they function.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply the theory of

heat lost = heat gained .

heat lost by water = mass x specific heat x temperature diff

= .285 x 4190 x ( 75.2 - 32 ) = 51587.28 J  

heat gained by ice to attain temperature of zero

= m x 2100 x 22.8 = 47880 m

heat gained by ice in melting = latent heat x mass

= 334000m

heat gained by water at zero to become warm at 32 degree

= m x 4190 x 32 = 134080 m

Total heat gained = 515960 m

So

515960 m = 51587.28

m = .1 kg

= 100 gm

A wedge of glass of refractive index 1.64 has a silver coating on the bottom, as shown in the image attached below.

Determine the smallest distance x to a position where 450-nm light reflected from the top surface of the glass interferes constructively with light reflected from the silver coating on the bottom. The light changes phase when reflected at the silver coating.

Answer:

the smallest distance x  = 2.74 × 10⁻³ m or 2.74 mm

Explanation:

From the given information:

The net phase change is zero because both the light ray reflecting from the air-glass surface and silver plate undergo a phase change of [tex]\dfrac{\lambda}{2}[/tex] , as such the condition for the  constructive interference is:

nΔy = mλ

where;

n = refractive index

Δy = path length (inside the glass)

So, from the diagram;

[tex]\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{10^{-5} \ m}{0.2 \ m}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{y}{x} = 5 \times 10^{-5}[/tex]

[tex]y = 5 \times 10^{-5} x[/tex]

Now;

Δy can now be = 2 ( 5 × 10⁻⁵ [tex]x[/tex])

Δy =1 ×  10⁻⁴[tex]x[/tex]

From nΔy = mλ

n( 1 ×  10⁻⁴[tex]x[/tex] ) = mλ

[tex]x = \dfrac{m \lambda}{n \times 1 \times 10^{-4} }[/tex]

when the thickness is minimum then m = 1

Thus;

[tex]x = \dfrac{1 \times 450 \times 10^{-9} \ m}{1.64 \times 1 \times 10^{-4} }[/tex]

x =  0.00274 m

x = 2.74 × 10⁻³ m or 2.74 mm

Answer:

Explanation:

Given two vectors as follows

E₁ = 13.5 i -12 j

E₂ = -7.4 i - 4.7 j

Resultant E = E₁ + E₂

= 13.5 i -12 j -7.4 i - 4.7 j

E = 6.1 i - 16.7 j

a ) X component of resultant = 6.1 N

b ) y component of resultant = -16.7 N

Magnitude of resultant = √ ( 6.1² + 16.7² )

= 17.75 N

d ) If θ be the required angle

tanθ = 16.7 / 6.1 = 2.73

θ = 70° .

counterclockwise = 360 - 70 = 290°

By working with the vector forces, we will get:

Remember that we can directly add vector forces, so if our two forces are:

F₁ = <13.5 N, -7.5 N>

F₂ = < -12 N, -4.70 N>

Then the resultant force is:

F = F₁ + F₂ = <13.5 N + (-12 N), -7.5 N + ( -4.70 N) >

F = < 1.5 N, -12.2 N>

so we have:

a) The x-component is 1.5 N

b) The y-component is -12.2 N

c) The magnitude will be:

|F| = √( (1.5 N)^2 + (-12.2 N)^2) = 12.29 N

d) The direction of a vector <x, y> measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis is given by:

θ = Atan(y/x)

Where Atan is the inverse tangent function, then here we have:

θ = Atan(-12.2 N/1.5 N) = 277.01°

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A 20 kg boy chases the butterfly with a speed of 2 meter per second.

Angle at which he runs is 70° North of West.

Therefore, Horizontal component (Vx) directing towards West will be,

Vx = v(Cos70°)

Vy = v(Sin70°)

Since momentum of a body is defined by,

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

Therefore, Westerly component of the momentum will be,

Momentum = 20 × (v)(Cos70°)

                   = 20 × 2Cos70°

                   = 13.68

                   ≈ 13.7 kg-meter per second

Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.

Answer:

A)   V = -136.36 V , B)  V = 4.85 10³ V , C)  V = 1.62 10⁴ V

Explanation:

To calculate the potential at an external point of the spheres we use Gauss's law that the charge can be considered at the center of the sphere, therefore the potential for an external point is

          V = k ∑ [tex]q_{i} / r_{i}[/tex]

where [tex]q_{i}[/tex] and [tex]r_{i}[/tex] are the loads and the point distances.

A) We apply this equation to our case

          V = k (q₁ / r₁ + q₂ / r₂)

They ask us for the potential at the midpoint of separation

         r = 3.30 / 2 = 1.65 m

this distance is much greater than the radius of the spheres

let's calculate

         V = 9 10⁹ (1.1 10⁻⁸ / 1.65  + (-3.6 10⁻⁸) / 1.65)

         V = 9 10¹ / 1.65 (1.10 - 3.60)

         V = -136.36 V

B) The potential at the surface sphere A

r₂ is the distance of sphere B above the surface of sphere A

              r₂ = 3.30 -0.02 = 3.28 m

              r₁ = 0.02 m

we calculate

             V = 9 10⁹ (1.1 10⁻⁸ / 0.02  - 3.6 10⁻⁸ / 3.28)

             V = 9 10¹ (55 - 1,098)

             V = 4.85 10³ V

C) The potential on the surface of sphere B

      r₂ = 0.02 m

      r₁ = 3.3 -0.02 = 3.28 m

      V = 9 10⁹ (1.10 10⁻⁸ / 3.28  - 3.6 10⁻⁸ / 0.02)

       V = 9 10¹ (0.335 - 180)

       V = 1.62 10⁴ V

Answer:

C. The magnitude of the electron's acceleration inside the field

D. The radius of the circular path the electron travels

Explanation:

The radius of the electron's motion in a uniform magnetic field is given by

[tex]R = \frac{MV}{qB}[/tex]

where;

m is the mass of the electron

q is the charge of the electron

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

V is speed of the electron

R is the radius of the electron's

Thus, the radius of the of the electron's motion will change since it depends on speed of the electron.

The magnitude of the electron's acceleration inside the field  is given by;

[tex]a_c = \frac{V^2}{R}[/tex]

where;

[tex]a_c[/tex] is centripetal acceleration of electron

Thus, the magnitude of the electron's acceleration inside the field will change since it depends on the electron speed.

The time the electron is in the magnetic field is given by;

[tex]T = \frac{2\pi M}{qB}[/tex]

The time of electron motion will not change

The magnitude of the net force acting on the electron inside the field will not change;

[tex]qVB = \frac{MV^2}{R} \\\\qVB - \frac{MV^2}{R} = 0[/tex]

Therefore, the correct options are "C" and "D"

Answer:

Let [tex]x(t)[/tex] denote the position (in meters, with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring) of this mass at time [tex]t[/tex] (in seconds.) Note that this question did not specify the direction of this motion. Hence, assume that the gravity on this mass can be ignored.

a. [tex]\displaystyle x(t) = -\frac{9}{7}\, e^{-2 t} + \frac{2}{7}\, e^{-9 t}[/tex].

b. [tex]\displaystyle x(t) = \frac{2}{7}\, e^{-2 t} - \frac{9}{7}\, e^{-9 t}[/tex].

Explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] denote the position of this mass (in meters, with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring) at time [tex]t[/tex] (in seconds.) Let [tex]x^\prime[/tex] and [tex]x^{\prime\prime}[/tex] denote the first and second derivatives of  [tex]x[/tex], respectively (with respect to time [tex]t[/tex].)

Construct an equation using [tex]x[/tex], [tex]x^\prime[/tex], and [tex]x^{\prime\prime}[/tex], with both sides equal the net force on this mass.

The first equation for the net force on this mass can be found with Newton's Second Law of motion. Let [tex]m[/tex] denote the size of this mass. By Newton's Second Law of motion, the net force on this mass would thus be equal to:

[tex]F(\text{net}) = m\, a = m\, x^{\prime\prime}[/tex].

The question described another equation for the net force on this mass. This equation is the sum of two parts:

Assume that there's no other force on this mass. Combine the restoring force and the damping force obtain an expression for the net force on this mass:

[tex]F(\text{net}) = -k\, x - 11\, x^\prime[/tex].

Combine the two equations for the net force on this mass to obtain:

[tex]m\, x^{\prime\prime} = -k\, x - 11\, x^\prime[/tex].

From the question:

Hence, the equation will become:

[tex]x^{\prime\prime} = -18\, x - 11\, x^\prime[/tex].

Rearrange to obtain:

[tex]x^{\prime\prime} + 11\, x^\prime + 18\; x = 0[/tex].

[tex]x^{\prime\prime} + 11\, x^\prime + 18\; x = 0[/tex] fits the pattern of a second-order homogeneous ODE with constant coefficients. Its auxiliary equation is:

[tex]m^2 + 11\, m + 18 = 0[/tex].

The two roots are:

Let [tex]c_1[/tex] and [tex]c_2[/tex] denote two arbitrary real constants. The general solution of a second-order homogeneous ODE with two distinct real roots [tex]m_1[/tex] and [tex]m_2[/tex] is:

[tex]x = c_1\, e^{m_1\cdot t} + c_2\, e^{m_2\cdot t}[/tex].

For this particular ODE, that general solution would be:

[tex]x = c_1\, e^{-2 t} + c_2\, e^{-9 t}[/tex].

Note, that if [tex]x(t) = c_1\, e^{-2 t} + c_2\, e^{-9 t}[/tex] denotes the position of this mass at time [tex]t[/tex], then [tex]x^\prime(t) = -2\,c_1\, e^{-2 t} -9\, c_2\, e^{-9 t}[/tex] would denote the velocity of this mass at time

For section [tex]\rm a.[/tex]:

[tex]\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& x(0) = -1 \\ &x^\prime(0) = 0\end{aligned}\right. \implies \left\lbrace\begin{aligned} &c_1 + c_2 = -1 \\ &-2\, c_1 - 9\, c_2 = 0\end{aligned}\right. \implies \left\lbrace\begin{aligned} &c_1 = -\frac{9}{7} \\ &c_2 = \frac{2}{7}\end{aligned}\right.[/tex].

Hence, the particular solution for section [tex]\rm a.[/tex] will be:

[tex]\displaystyle x(t) = -\frac{9}{7}\, e^{-2 t} + \frac{2}{7}\, e^{-9 t}[/tex].

Similarly, for section [tex]\rm b.[/tex]:

[tex]\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& x(0) = -1 \\ &x^\prime(0) = 11\end{aligned}\right. \implies \left\lbrace\begin{aligned} &c_1 + c_2 = -1 \\ &-2\, c_1 - 9\, c_2 = 11\end{aligned}\right. \implies \left\lbrace\begin{aligned} &c_1 = \frac{2}{7} \\ &c_2 = -\frac{9}{7}\end{aligned}\right.[/tex].

Hence, the particular solution for section [tex]\rm b.[/tex] will be:

[tex]\displaystyle x(t) = \frac{2}{7}\, e^{-2 t} - \frac{9}{7}\, e^{-9 t}[/tex].

Answer:

The power required by the pump is nearly 230.588 kW

Explanation:

Flow rate of the pump Q = 1 m^3/s

the head flow H = 20 m

specific weight of water γ = 9800 N/m^3

efficiency of the pump η = 85%

First note that specific gravity of water is the product of the density of water and acceleration due to gravity.

γ = ρg

where ρ is density. For water its value is 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

The power to lift this water at this rate will be gotten from the equation

P = ρgQH

but ρg = γ

therefore,

P = γQH

imputing values, we'll have

P = 9800 x 1 x 20 = 196000 W

But the centrifugal pump that will be used will only be able to lift this amount of water after the efficiency factor has been considered. The power of pump needed must be greater than this power.

we can say that

196000 W is 85% of the power of the pump power needed, therefore

196000 = 85% of [tex]P_{p}[/tex]

where [tex]P_{p}[/tex] is the power of the pump needed

85% = 0.85

196000 = 0.85[tex]P_{p}[/tex]

[tex]P_{p}[/tex] = 196000/0.85 = 230588.24 W

Pump power = 230.588 kW

Answer:

λ = 5.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 520 nm

Explanation:

From Young's Double Slit Experiment, we know the following formula for the distance between consecutive bright fringes:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = fringe spacing = distance of 1st bright fringe from center = 0.00322 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 3.1 m

d = Separation between slits = 0.0005 m

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

0.00322 m = λ(3.1 m)/(0.0005 m)

λ = (0.00322 m)(0.0005 m)/(3.1 m)

λ = 5.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 520 nm

Answer:

    I₂ = 0.25 I₀

Explanation:

To know the light transmitted by a filter we must use the law of Malus

          I = I₀ cos² θ

In this case, the intensity of the light that passes through the first polarizer is I₀, it reaches the second polarized, which is at 45⁰, therefore the intensity I1 comes out of it.

        I₁ = I₀ cos² 45

        I₁ = I₀ 0.5

this is the light that reaches the third polarizer, which is at 45⁰ with respect to the second, from this comes the intensity I₂

       I₂ = I₁ cos² 45

       I₂ = (I₀ 0.5) 0.5

       I₂ = 0.25 I₀

this is the intensity of the light transmitted by the set of polarizers

Cy = 1.3 x 10³ k-N

Support Ay:

Since ∑ F = 0,           A + C - F - D = 0

q = C V    charge on 1 capacitor

q = 1 * 10E-6 * 110 = 1.1 *  10E-4  C per capacitor

N = Q / q = 1 / 1.1 * 10E-4  = 9091 capacitors

9.09 × 10³ capacitors must be connected in parallel.

Given C = 1.00μF = 1 × 10⁻⁶ F

          q = 1.00 C

          V = 110 V

The equivalent capacitance is given by

Ceq = q/V

where q = total charge on all the capacitors

             V = potential difference

For N number of identical capacitors in parallel,

Ceq = NC

Therefore,

NC = q/V

N = q/VC

Putting on the values in the above formula,

N = 1/ (110)(1 × 10⁻⁶)

V2 = 21.44cm^3

Explanation:

Given that: the initial volume of the bubble = 1.3 cm^3

Depth = h = 160m

Where P2 is the atmospheric pressure = Patm

P1 is the pressure at depth 'h'

Density of water = ρ = 10^3kg/m^3

Patm = 1.013×10^5 Pa.

Patm = 101300Pa

g = 9.81m/s^2

P1 = P2+ρgh

P1 = Patm +ρgh

P1 = 1.013×10^5+10^3×9.81×160.

P1 = 101300+1569600

P1 = 1670900 Pa

For an ideal gas law

PV =nRT

P1V1/P2V2 = 1

V2 = ( P1/P2)V1

V2 = (P1/Patm)V1

V2 = ( 1670900 /101300 Pa) × 1.3

V2 = 1670900/101300

V2 = 16.494×1.3

V2 = 21.44cm^3

The volume of the bubble can be determined using ideal gas law. The volume of the bubble when it reaches surface is 21.44 [tex]\bold {cm^3}[/tex].

The formula of the pressure of the static fluid

P1 = P2+ρgh

Where,

P1 -  pressure at depth 'h'

P2 -  atmospheric pressure = [tex]\bold {1.013x10^5 }[/tex] =  1670900 Pa

h - Depth = 160m

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the resistivity of an object to find the diameter.

Resistivity P = RA/L

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

L is the length of the material

Since A = πd²/4

P = R( πd²/4)/L

P = Rπd²/4L ... 1

If the second wire of the same material and length is found to have resistance R/9, the resistivity of the second material will be;

P₂ = (R/9)A₂/L₂

P₂ = (R/9)(πd₂²/4)/L₂

P₂ = (Rπd₂²/36)/L₂

P₂ = (Rπd₂²)/36L₂

Since the length and resistivity are the same;

P = P₂  and L =L₂

Equating 1 and 2;

Rπd²/4L =  (Rπd₂²)/36L₂

Rπd²/4L =  (Rπd₂²)/36L

d² = d₂²/9

d₂² = 9d²

Taking the square root of both sides;

√d₂² = √9d²

d₂ = 3d

Therefore the diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire

Answer:

Ok, the minimal quantity of charge that we can find is on the electron or in the proton (the magnitude is the same, but the sign is different)

Where the charge of a single proton is:

C = 1.6x10^-19 C

Now, you need to remember that when we are working with charges, we are working with discrete math:

What means that?

If the minimum positive is the charge of one proton, then the consecutive charge will be the charge of two protons (there is no somethin in between)

So the consecutive charge will be:

C = 2*1.6x10^-19 C = 3.2x10^-19 C.

So, because we are working in discrete math, we can not have any object that has charge between  1.6x10^-19 C and 3.2x10^-19 C.

Particularly, 2.0x10^-19 C is in that range, so we can conclude that:

No, an object can not carry a charge of 2.0x10^-19 C.

Ns = 50000 turns

Answer:

2.78 cm³/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = v/A'.................... Equation 1

Where Q = Average flow rate, A' = inverse of Area, v = velocity of the car.

Given: v = 100 km/h, A' = 10 km/L

Substitute this value into equation 1

Q = 100/10

Q = 10 L/h.

Now, we convert L/h to cm³/s.

Since,

1 L = 1000 cm³, and

1 h = 3600 s

Therefore,

Q = 10(1000/3600) cm³/s

Q = 2.78 cm³/s

Answer:

c. The incident light must have at least as much energy as the electron work function

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted from a metal surface when a light ray or photon strikes it. An electron either absorbs one whole photon or it absorbs none. After absorbing a photon, an electron either leaves the surface of metal or dissipate its energy within the metal in such a short time  interval that it has almost no chance to absorb a second photon. An increase in intensity of light source  simply increase the number of photons and thus, the number of electrons, but the energy of electron  remains same. However, increase in frequency of light increases the energy of photons and hence, the

energy of electrons too.

Therefore, the energy of photon decides whether the electron shall be emitted or not. The minimum energy required to eject an electron from the metal surface, i.e. to overcome the  binding force of the nucleus is called ‘Work Function’

Hence, the correct option is:

c. The incident light must have at least as much energy as the electron work function

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum is 1.1 kilogram-meters per second, b) The change in the magnitude of the ball's momentum is -0.055 kilogram-meters per second, c) D. The magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum.

Explanation:

a) This phenomenon can be modelled by means of the Principle of Momentum Conservation and the Impact Theorem, whose vectorial form is:

[tex]\vec p_{o} + Imp = \vec p_{f}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\vec p_{o}[/tex], [tex]\vec p_{f}[/tex] - Initial and final momentums, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

[tex]Imp[/tex] - Impact due to collision, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

The impact experimented by the ball due to collision is:

[tex]Imp = \vec p_{f} - \vec p_{o}[/tex]

By using the definition of momentum, the expression is therefore expanded:

[tex]Imp = m \cdot (\vec v_{f}-\vec v_{o})[/tex]

Where:

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the ball, measured in kilograms.

[tex]\vec v_{o}[/tex], [tex]\vec v_{f}[/tex] - Initial and final velocities, measured in meters per second.

If [tex]m = 0.275\,kg[/tex], [tex]\vec v_{o} = -2.10\,j\,\left [\frac{m}{s} \right][/tex] and [tex]\vec v_{f} = 1.90\,j\,\left [\frac{m}{s} \right][/tex], the vectorial change of the linear momentum is:

[tex]Imp = (0.275\,kg)\cdot \left[1.90\,j+2.10\,j\right]\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right][/tex]

[tex]Imp = 1.1\,j\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right][/tex]

The magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum is 1.1 kilogram-meters per second.

b) The magnitudes of initial and final momentums of the ball are, respectively:

[tex]p_{o} = (0.275\,kg)\cdot \left(2.10\,\frac{m}{s} \right)[/tex]

[tex]p_{o} = 0.578\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex]

[tex]p_{f} = (0.275\,kg)\cdot \left(1.90\,\frac{m}{s} \right)[/tex]

[tex]p_{o} = 0.523\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex]

The change in the magnitude of the ball's momentum is:

[tex]\Delta p = p_{f}-p_{o}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta p = 0.523\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} - 0.578\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta p = -0.055\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}[/tex]

The change in the magnitude of the ball's momentum is -0.055 kilogram-meters per second.

c) The quantity calculated in part a) is more related to the net force acting on the ball during its collision with the floor, since impact is the product of net force, a vector, and time, a scalar, and net force is the product of the ball's mass and net acceleration, which creates a change on velocity.

In a nutshell, the right choice is option D.
