On the Moon’s surface, lunar astronauts placed a corner reflector, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. What percent correction is needed to account for the delay in time due to the slowing of light in Earth’s atmosphere? Assume the distance to the Moon is precisely 3.84×108 m , and Earth’s atmosphere (which varies in density with altitude) is equivalent to a layer 30.0 km thick with a constant index of refraction n = 1.000293.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]T_d=2.8*10^-^6\%[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance b/w Earth and the moon [tex]d_e=3.84×10^8 m[/tex]

Thickness of Earth's atmosphere[tex]d_t=30km[/tex]

Constant index of refraction [tex]n = 1.000293.[/tex]

Generally the equation for percentage of time delay [tex]T_d[/tex] is mathematically given as

[tex]T_d=\frac{d(n-1)}{rm}*100\%[/tex]

[tex]T_d=\frac{(35*10^3)(1.000293-1)()100)}{3.674*10^8} *\%[/tex]

[tex]T_d=2.8*10^-^6 \%[/tex]

Therefore the general percentage correction needed because of tym deley is given as

[tex]T_d=2.8*10^-^6\%[/tex]

Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet. In 2006, Pluto was categorized with three other objects in the solar system that are about the same small size as Pluto: Ceres, Makemake and Eris. These objects, along with Pluto, are much smaller than the "other" planets. Here is another one Pluto is a dwarf planet that lies in the Kuiper Belt. It's an area full of icy bodies and other dwarf planets at the edge of our solar system. Because Pluto is the biggest known object in this region, some call it "King of the Kuiper Belt."

One thing is certain. Pluto and its neighborhood are very peculiar. If scientists could unravel some of their mysteries, we would know more about how our solar system formed. Hope this helps! Mark brainly pls!

difference between centrifugal and semi-centrifugal clutches​

Answers

Centrifugal clutch: These are automatic clutches under the action of centrifugal forces. ... Semi – centrifugal clutch: The manual type of clutches which have a pedal assist to it and the clutches becomes free as the system gains rpm time to time. These clutches are used to remove driver effort in racing cars.

Answer:

Semi-centrifugal clutches are used in high powered race cars, to reduce the driver effort. Working is just like semi-centrifugal clutch.

The clutch action is purely under centrifugal force.

At low engine rpm the centrifugal force is low, so there is slip, as engine rpm increases, so does the centrifugal force.

What range of the electromagnetic spectrum does this wave belong to?

Answers

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

Infrared radiation

The infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum covers the range from roughly 300 GHz to 400 THz (1 mm – 750 nm). It can be divided into three parts: Far-infrared, from 300 GHz to 30 THz (1 mm – 10 μm). The lower part of this range may also be called microwaves or terahertz waves.

A string with a length of 0.75 m is fixed at both ends. (a) What is the longest possible wavelength for the traveling waves that can interfere to form a standing wave on this string? (b) If waves travel with a speed of 130 m/s on this string, what is the frequency associated with this longest wavelength?

Answers

Answer:

a) Longest wavelength is: [tex]\lambda_{1}=2*0.75=1.5\: m[/tex]

b) The frequency associated with this longest wavelength is: [tex]f=86.7\: Hz[/tex]

Explanation:

a)

The wavelength equation of a standing wave is given by:

[tex]\lambda_{n}=\frac{2}{n}L[/tex]

Where:

L is the length of the stringn is a natural number

We use n=1 to find the longest possible wavelength, so we will have:

[tex]\lambda_{1}=2L[/tex]

[tex]\lambda_{1}=2*0.75=1.5\: m[/tex]

b)

The speed of the wave is given by:

[tex]v=f\lambda[/tex]

So we just need to find the f (frequency).

[tex]f=\frac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]f=\frac{130}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]f=86.7\: Hz[/tex]

Suppose that a particle accelerator is used to move two beams of particles in opposite directions. In a particular region, electrons move to the right at 4910 m/s and protons move to the left at 2583 m/s. The particles are evenly spaced with 0.0758 m between electrons and 0.0577 m between protons. Assuming that there are no collisions and that the interactions between the particles are negligible, what is the magnitude of the average current in this region

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "[tex]17.28 \times 10^{-14}\ A[/tex]"

Explanation:

Calculating the number of electrons passing in per second:

[tex]\to n_e = \frac{4910}{0.0758} = 6.4 \times 10^5[/tex]

Calculating the current in electron:

[tex]\to I_e = 6.4 \times 10^5 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 10.24 \times 10^{-14}\ A[/tex]

Calculating the number of protons passing in per second:

[tex]\to n_p = \frac{2583}{0.0577} = 4.4 \times 10^{4}[/tex]

Calculating the current in proton:

[tex]\to I_p = 4.4 \times 10^{4} \times 1.6 x 10^{-19} = 7.04 \times 10^{-14} \ A[/tex]

Calculating the total current:

[tex]\to I = I_p + I_e = 17.28 \times 10^{-14}\ A[/tex]

a 12v battery delivers a 3.6 a current to an electric motor. How much power was delivered to the current?

Answers

Answer:

P = 43.2 W

Explanation:

Known:

Voltage = 12 v = 12 kgm^2s^-3A^-

Current = 3.6 A

Unknown:

Power =?

Strategy:

We need an equation the relates voltage, power, and current. According to Watt's Law, the power in a circuit is a product of voltage and current.

This defines the relationship between power, voltage, and current.

The mathematical expression of watt's law is P = IV where p is the power delivered or generated by a given source, I is current, and V is the voltage.

Solution:

P = 3.6 A * (12 kgm^2s^-3A^-1)

P = (43.2 kgm^2s^-3A)/A [ I have moved the A^-1 into the denominator as A so that we can see that we have the same term in the numerator and denominator.

P = 43.2 kgm^2s^-3

P = 43.2 W

For a 1.0 cm2 patch of skin, 3.7 mJ of ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 254 nm will produce reddening; at 300 nm wavelength, 13 mJ are required. Part A What is the photon energy corresponding to each of these wavelengths

Answers

Answer:

Energy = 7.83 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Energy = 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon in terms of wavelength can be calculated by the following formula:

[tex]Energy = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\[/tex]

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light

Now, for λ = 254 nm = 2.54 x 10⁻⁷ m:

[tex]Energy = \frac{(6.63\ x\ 10^{-34}\ Js)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{2.54\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\[/tex]

Energy = 7.83 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, for λ = 300 nm = 3 x 10⁻⁷ m:

[tex]Energy = \frac{(6.63\ x\ 10^{-34}\ Js)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{3\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\[/tex]

Energy = 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

A wave pulse travels along a stretched string at a speed of 100 cm/s. What will be the speed in cm/s if the string's tension is quadrupled, the length halved and its mass is doubled

Answers

Answer:

The new velocity of the string is 100 centimeters per second (1 meter per second).

Explanation:

The speed of a wave through a string ([tex]v[/tex]), in meters per second, is defined by the following formula:

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T\cdot L}{m} }[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]T[/tex] - Tension, in newtons.

[tex]L[/tex] - Length of the string, in meters.

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

The expression for initial and final speeds of the wave are:

Initial speed

[tex]v_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{T_{o}\cdot L_{o}}{m_{o}} }[/tex] (2)

Final speed

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{(4\cdot T_{o})\cdot (0.5\cdot L_{o})}{2\cdot m_{o}} }[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T_{o}\cdot L_{o}}{m_{o}} }[/tex] (3)

By (2), we conclude that:

[tex]v =v_{o}[/tex]

If we know that [tex]v_{o} = 1\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the new speed of the wave in the string is [tex]v = 1\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex].
