Answer:
W = 122.3 J
Explanation:
First, we need to find out the force applied to the smaller piston. We know that the pressure applied to smaller piston must be equally transmitted to the larger piston. Therefore,
P₁ = P₂
F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂
F₂ = F₁(A₂/A₁)
where,
F₁ = Force of Larger Piston = Weight of car = mg = (1500 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
F₁ = 14700 N
F₂ = Force applied to smaller piston = ?
A₁ = Area of larger piston = πd₁²/4
A₂ = Area of smaller piston = πd₂²/4
Therefore,
F₂ = (14700 N)[(πd₂²/4)/(πd₁²/4)]
F₂ = (14700 N)(d₂²/d₁²)
where,
d₁ = diameter of large piston = 50 cm
d₂ = diameter of small piston = 4 cm
Therefore,
F₂ = (14700 N)[(4 cm)²/(50 cm)²]
F₂ = 94.08 N
Now, for the work done on the car:
Work Done = W = F₂ d
where,
d = displacement of car = 1.3 m
Therefore,
W = (94.08 N)(1.3 m)
W = 122.3 J
In an experiment to measure the wavelength of light using a double slit, it is found that the fringes are too close together to easily count them. To spread out the fringe pattern, one could
Answer:
halve the slit separation
Explanation:
As we know that
In YDS experiment, the equation of fringe width is as follows
[tex]\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}[/tex]
where,
D denotes the separation in the middle of screen and slits
d denotes the distance in the middle of two slits
And to increase the Δx we have to decrease the d i.e, the distance between the two slits
Hence, the first option is correct
Why was Bohr's atomic model replaced by the
modern atomic model?
Answer:
Explanation:
Bohr's atomic model was replaced by the modern atomic model because of its limitations, which included :
(a) Only applicable for Hydrogen and like atoms ( He+1, Li+2 )
(b) Couldn't explain Zeeman Effect (splitting of spectral lines due external magnetic field ) and Stark Effect (splitting of spectral lines due to external electric field).
(c) Inconsistent with De-Broglie's Dual nature of matter and Heisenberg Uncertainty principal, etc.

n ultraviolet light beam having a wavelength of 130 nm is incident on a molybdenum surface with a work function of 4.2 eV. How fast does the electron move away from the metal
Answer:
The speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
wavelength of the ultraviolet light beam, λ = 130 nm = 130 x 10⁻⁹ m
the work function of the molybdenum surface, W₀ = 4.2 eV = 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
The energy of the incident light is given by;
E = hf
where;
h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s
f = c / λ
[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{130*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 15.291*10^{-19} \ J[/tex]
Photo electric effect equation is given by;
E = W₀ + K.E
Where;
K.E is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron
K.E = E - W₀
K.E = 15.291 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
K.E = 8.563 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Kinetic energy of the emitted electron is given by;
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
where;
m is mass of the electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg
v is the speed of the electron
[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2*8.563*10^{-19}}{9.11*10^{-31}}}\\\\v = 1.371 *10^{6} \ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.
An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm^2, separated by a distance of 1.70 mm. A 25.0-V potential difference is applied to these plates. Calculate: a. the electric field between the plates b. the surface charge density c. the capacitance d. the charge on each plate.
Answer:
(a) 1.47 x 10⁴ V/m
(b) 1.28 x 10⁻⁷C/m²
(c) 3.9 x 10⁻¹²F
(d) 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹C
Explanation:
(a) For a parallel plate capacitor, the electric field E between the plates is given by;
E = V / d -----------(i)
Where;
V = potential difference applied to the plates
d = distance between these plates
From the question;
V = 25.0V
d = 1.70mm = 0.0017m
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
E = 25.0 / 0.0017
E = 1.47 x 10⁴ V/m
(c) The capacitance of the capacitor is given by
C = Aε₀ / d
Where
C = capacitance
A = Area of the plates = 7.60cm² = 0.00076m²
ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²F/m
d = 1.70mm = 0.0017m
C = 0.00076 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² / 0.0017
C = 3.9 x 10⁻¹²F
(d) The charge, Q, on each plate can be found as follows;
Q = C V
Q = 3.9 x 10⁻¹² x 25.0
Q = 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹C
Now since we have found other quantities, it is way easier to find the surface charge density.
(b) The surface charge density, σ, is the ratio of the charge Q on each plate to the area A of the plates. i.e
σ = Q / A
σ = 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹ / 0.00076
σ = 1.28 x 10⁻⁷C/m²
A circular coil of wire 8.40 cm in diameter has 17.0 turns and carries a current of 3.20 A . The coil is in a region where the magnetic field is 0.610 T.Required:a. What orientation of the coil gives the maximum torque on the coil ?b. What is this maximum torque in part (A) ?c. For what orientation of the coil is the magnitude of the torque 71.0 % of the maximum found in part (B)?
Answer:
a) for the torque to be maximum, sin should be maximum
i.e (sinФ)maximum = 1
b) therefore the Maximum torque is
Tmax = 0.1838 × 1 = 0.1838 N.m
c) Given the torque is 71.0% of its maximum value; Ф = 45.24⁰ ≈ 45⁰
Explanation:
Given that; Diameter is 8.40 cm,
Radius (R) = D/2 = 8.40/2 = 4.20 cm = 0.042 m
Number of turns (N) = 17
Current in the loop (I) = 3.20 A
Magnetic field (B) = 0.610 T
Let the angle between the loop's area vector A and the magnetic field B be
Now. the area of the loop is;
A = πR²
A = 3.14 ( 0.042 )²
A = 0.005539 m²
Torque on the loop (t) = NIABsinФ
t = 17 × 3.20 ×0.005539 × 0.610 × sinФ
t = 0.1838sinФ N.m
for the torque to be maximum, sin should be maximum
i.e (sinФ)maximum = 1
therefore the Maximum torque is
Tmax = 0.1838 × 1 = 0.1838 N.m
Given the torque is 71.0% of its maximum value
t = 0.71 × tmax
t = 0.71 × 0.1838
t = 0.1305
Now
0.1305 N.m = 0.1838 sinФ N.m
sinФ = 0.1305 / 0.1838
sinФ = 0.71001
Ф = sin⁻¹ 0.71001
Ф = 45.24⁰ ≈ 45⁰
A concrete slab shown in Figure 5 is being lifted by using three cables connected to the slab at points A, B and C. The slab is in the xy plane. The vertical force required to lift this slab is 60 kN (F 60 kN). Find the tensions in cables DA, DB and DC (show all your workings that you do to find these)
Answer:
Fad = 28.8 kN
Fbd = 16.4 kN
Fcd = 28.1 kN
Explanation:
First, find the length of each cable.
AD = √((2 m)² + (0.5 m)² + (2.5 m)²)
AD = √10.5 m
AD ≈ 3.24 m
BD = √((1.5 m)² + (1 m)² + (2.5 m)²)
BD = √9.5 m
BD ≈ 3.08 m
CD = √((1 m)² + (1 m)² + (2.5 m)²)
CD = √8.25 m
CD ≈ 2.87 m
Next, use similar triangles to find the x, y, and z components of each tension force.
Fadx = 2/3.24 Fad = 0.617 Fad
Fady = 0.5/3.24 Fad = 0.154 Fad
Fadz = 2.5/3.24 Fad = 0.772 Fad
Fbdx = 1.5/3.08 Fbd = 0.487 Fbd
Fbdy = 1/3.08 Fbd = 0.324 Fbd
Fbdz = 2.5 / 3.08 Fbd = 0.811 Fbd
Fcdx = 1/2.87 Fcd = 0.348 Fcd
Fcdy = 1/2.87 Fcd = 0.348 Fcd
Fcdz = 2.5/2.87 Fcd = 0.870 Fcd
Now sum the forces in the x, y, and z directions:
∑Fx = ma
-0.617 Fad + 0.487 Fbd + 0.348 Fcd = 0
∑Fy = ma
-0.154 Fad − 0.324 Fbd + 0.348 Fcd = 0
∑Fz = ma
60 kN − 0.772 Fad − 0.811 Fbd − 0.870 Fcd = 0
To solve this system of equations algebraically, start by subtracting the first two equations, eliminating Fcd.
-0.463 Fad + 0.811 Fbd = 0
0.811 Fbd = 0.463 Fad
Fbd = 0.571 Fad
Substitute into either of the first two equations:
-0.617 Fad + 0.487 (0.571 Fad) + 0.348 Fcd = 0
-0.617 Fad + 0.278 Fad + 0.348 Fcd = 0
-0.339 Fad + 0.348 Fcd = 0
0.348 Fcd = 0.339 Fad
Fcd = 0.975 Fad
Now substituting into the third equation:
60 kN − 0.772 Fad − 0.811 Fbd − 0.870 Fcd = 0
60 kN − 0.772 Fad − 0.811 (0.571 Fad) − 0.870 (0.975 Fad) = 0
60 kN − 0.772 Fad − 0.463 Fad − 0.849 Fad = 0
60 kN − 2.083 Fad = 0
Fad = 28.8 kN
Solving for the other two tension forces:
Fbd = 0.571 Fad = 16.4 kN
Fcd = 0.975 Fad = 28.1 kN
Answer:
Tensions of:
DA = 28.81 KN
DB = 16.45 KN
DC = 28.07 KN
Explanation:

If one could transport a simple pendulum of constant length from the Earth's surface to the Moon's, where acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth (1/6) that on the Earth, by what factor would be the pendulum frequency be changed
Answer:
The frequency will change by a factor of 0.4
Explanation:
T = 2(pi)*sqrt(L/g)
Since g(moon) = (1/6)g(earth), the period would change by sqrt[1/(1/6)] = sqrt(6) ~ 2.5 times longer on the moon. Since the period & frequency are inverses, the frequency would be 1/2.5 or 0.4 times shorter on the moon.
g Two point sources emit sound waves of 1.0-m wavelength. The source 1 is at x = 0 and source 2 is at x = 2.0 m along x-axis. The sources, 2.0 m apart, emit waves which are in phase with each other at the instant of emission. Where, along the line between the sources, are the waves out of phase with each other by π radians?
Answer:
constructive interferencia 0, 1 , 2 m
destructive inteferencia 1/4, 3/4. 5/4, 7/4 m
Explanation:
This exercise is equivalent to the double slit experiment, the two sources are in phase and separated by a distance, therefore the waves observed in the line between them have an optical path difference and a phase difference, given by the expression
Δr / λ = Φ / 2π
Δr = Φ/2π λ
let's apply this expression to our case
λ = 1 m
Δr = Φ 1 / 2π
We have constructive interference for angle of Φ = 0, 2π, ...
let's find the values where they occur
Φ Δr
0 0
2π 1
4π 2
Destructive interference occurs by Φ = π /2, 3π / 2, ...
Φ Δr
π/2 ¼ m
3π /2 ¾ m
5π /2 5/4 m
7π /2 7/4 m
In Young's experiment a mixture of orange light (611 nm) and blue light (471 nm) shines on the double slit. The centers of the first-order bright blue fringes lie at the outer edges of a screen that is located 0.497 m away from the slits. However, the first-order bright orange fringes fall off the screen. By how much and in what direction (toward or away from the slits) should the screen be moved, so that the centers of the first-order bright orange fringes just appear on the screen
Answer:
0.5639m
Explanation:
For a young double slit experiment the expression below gives the angular separation for m dark fringe having slit width d and wavelength λ
=sin⁻¹(mλ/d)
mλ /d =y/L
for the first order,
y= mλL/d
For ratio separation y₀/yD=1 and d= 1
y₀/yD= [mλ ₀L₀/d]/[mλD.LD./d]
1=λ ₀L₀/λD.LD.
λD.LD= λ ₀L₀
L₀= λD.LD/ λ ₀..............(1)
Then substitute the given values into (1) we have
L₀=471 *0.497/611
= 0.3831m
Distance by which the screen has to be moved towards the slit is
LD- Lo
0.947-0.3831= 0.5639m

A sinusoidal voltage Δv = (100 V) sin (170t) is applied to a series RLC circuit with L = 40 mH, C = 130 μF, and R = 50 Ω.
Required:
a. What is the impedance of the circuit?
b. What is the maximum current in the circuit?
Answer:
See attached file
Explanation:
A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision.
(a) Is she nearsighted or farsighted?
(b) What type of lens (converging or diverging) is needed to correct her vision?
(c) What focal length contact lens is needed, and what is its power in diopters?
Answer:
(a) nearsighted
(b) diverging
(c) the lens strength in diopters is 1.33 D, and considering the convention for divergent lenses normally prescribed as: -1 33 D
Explanation:
(a) The person is nearsighted because he/she cannot see objects at distances larger than 75 cm.
(b) the type of correcting lens has to be such that it counteracts the excessive converging power of the eye of the person, so the lens has to be diverging (which by the way carries by convention a negative focal length)
(c) the absolute value of the focal length (f) is given by the formula:
[tex]f=\frac{1}{d} =\frac{1}{0.75} = 1.33\,D[/tex]
So it would normally be written with a negative signs in front indicating a divergent lens.
You're conducting an experiment on another planet. You drop a rock from a height of 1 m and it hits the ground 0.4 seconds later. What is acceleration due to gravity on the planet ?
Answer:
Here,
v (final velocity) = 0
u (initial velocity) = u
a = ?
s = 1m
t = 0.4s
using the first equation of motion,
0 = u + 0.4a
= -0.4a = u
using the second equation of motion:
1 = 0.4u + 0.08a
from the bold equation
1 = 0.4(-0.4a) + 0.08a
1 = -0.16a + 0.08a
1 = -0.08a
a = -1/0.08
a = -100/8
a = -12.5 m/s/s

g A solenoid 63.5 cm long has 960 turns and a radius of 2.77 cm. If it carries a current of 2.28 A, find the magnetic field along the axis at its center.Find the magnetic field on the solenoidal axis at the end of the solenoid.
Answer:
The value is [tex]B = 0.0043 \ T[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the solenoid is [tex]l = 63.5 = 0.635 \ m[/tex]
The number of turns is [tex]N = 960 \ turns[/tex]
The current is [tex]I = 2.28 \ A[/tex]
Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as
[tex]B = \mu _o * n * I[/tex]
Where n is the number of turn per unit length which is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]n = \frac{N}{l}[/tex]
[tex]n = \frac{960}{0.635}[/tex]
[tex]n = 1512 \ turns /m[/tex]
and [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with value [tex]\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]
So
[tex]B = 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 1512 * 2.28[/tex]
[tex]B = 0.0043 \ T[/tex]
A small omnidirectional stereo speaker produces waves in all directions that have an intensity of 8.00 at a distance of 4.00 from the speaker.
At what rate does this speaker produce energy?
What is the intensity of this sound 9.50 from the speaker?
What is the total amount of energy received each second by the walls (including windows and doors) of the room in which this speaker is located?
Answer:
A. We have that radius r = 4.00m intensity I = 8.00 W/m^
total power = power/ Area ( 4πr2)= 8.00 w/m^2( 4π ( 4.00 m)2=1607.68 W
b) I = total power/ 4πr2= 8.00 W/m2 ( 4.00 m/ 9.5 m)2= 1.418 W/m2
c) E = total power x time= 1607 . 68 W x 1s= 1607.68 J
At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to
Answer:
Ok, the question is incomplete buy ill try to answer this in a general way.
Suppose that you have no-polarized light.
When that light hits one polaroid, the light becomes polarized along some line, and has an intensity I0.
Now, when polarized light hits a polaroid which axis is at an angle θ with respect to the polarization of the light, the intensity of the resulting beam is given by the Malus's law:
I(θ) = I0*cos^2(θ)
For example, if the axis of the polaroid is exactly the same as the one of the polarized light, then we have θ = 0°
and:
I(0°) = I0*cos^2(0°) = I0
So the intensity does not change.
Now, knowing the initial intensity, you can find the angle needed to get a given intensity.
For example, if the question was:
"At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to A"
We should solve:
I(θ) = A = I0*cos^2(θ)
(A/i0) = cos^2(θ)
√(A/I0) = cos(θ)
Acos(√(A/I0)) = θ
A viewing screen is separated from a double slit by 5.20 m. The distance between the two slits is 0.0300 mm. Monochromatic light is directed toward the double slit and forms an interference pattern on the screen. The first dark fringe is 3.70 cm from the center line on the screen.
Required:
a. Determine the wavelength of light.
b. Calculate the distance between the adjacent bright fringes.
Answer:
The wavelength of this light is approximately [tex]427\; \rm nm[/tex] ([tex]4.27\times 10^{-7}\; \rm m[/tex].)The distance between the first and central maxima is approximately [tex]7.40\; \rm cm[/tex] (about twice the distance between the first dark fringe and the central maximum.)Explanation:
WavelengthConvert all lengths to meters:
Separation of the two slits: [tex]0.0300\; \rm mm = 3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m[/tex].Distance between the first dark fringe and the center of the screen: [tex]3.70\; \rm cm = 3.70\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m[/tex].Refer to the diagram attached (not to scale.) Assuming that the screen is parallel to the line joining the two slits. The following two angles are alternate interior angles and should be equal to each other:
The angle between the filter and the beam of light from the lower slit, andThe angle between the screen and that same beam of light.These two angles are marked with two grey sectors on the attached diagram. Let the value of these two angles be [tex]\theta[/tex].
The path difference between the two beams is approximately equal to the length of the segment highlighted in green. In order to produce the first dark fringe from the center of the screen (the first minimum,) the length of that segment should be [tex]\lambda / 2[/tex] (one-half the wavelength of the light.)
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta \approx \frac{\text{Path difference}}{\text{Slit separation}} = \frac{\lambda / 2}{3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m}[/tex].
On the other hand:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \cot \theta &\approx \frac{\text{Distance between central peak and first minimum}}{\text{Distance between the screen and the slits}} \\ &= \frac{3.70\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m}{5.20\; \rm m} \approx 0.00711538\end{aligned}[/tex].
Because the cotangent of [tex]\theta[/tex] is very close to zero,
[tex]\cos \theta \approx \cot \theta \approx 0.00711538[/tex].
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\lambda /2}{3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m} \approx \cos\theta\approx 0.00711538[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned}\lambda &\approx 2\times 0.00711538 \times \left(3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m\right) \\ &\approx 4.26 \times 10^{-7}\; \rm m = 426\; \rm nm\end{aligned}[/tex].
Distance between two adjacent maximaIf the path difference is increased by one wavelength, then the intersection of the two beams would move from one bright fringe to the next one.
The path difference required for the central maximum is [tex]0[/tex].The path difference required for the first maximum is [tex]\lambda[/tex].The path difference required for the second maximum is [tex]2\,\lambda[/tex].On the other hand, if the distance between the maximum and the center of the screen is much smaller than the distance between the screen and the filter, then:
[tex]\begin{aligned}&\frac{\text{Distance between image and center of screen}}{\text{Distance between the screen and the slits}} \\ &\approx \cot \theta \\ &\approx \cos \theta \\ &\approx \frac{\text{Path difference}}{\text{Slit separation}}\end{aligned}[/tex].
Under that assumption, the distance between the maximum and the center of the screen is approximately proportional to the path difference. The distance between the image (the first minimum) and the center of the screen is [tex]3.70\; \rm cm[/tex] when the path difference is [tex]\lambda / 2[/tex]. The path difference required for the first maximum is twice as much as that. Therefore, the distance between the first maximum and the center of the screen would be twice the difference between the first minimum and the center of the screen: [tex]2 \times 3.70\; \rm cm = 7.40\; \rm cm[/tex].
You plan to take your hair blower to Europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 V instead of the 120 V seen in the United States. The blower puts out 1700 W at 120 V.Required:a. What could you do to operate your blower via the 240V line in Europe? which one is it?b. What current will your blower draw from a European outlet?c. What resistance will your blower appear to have when operated at 240 ?
Answer:
a) Connect a series resistance of 8,47 ohms
b)14,16 [A]
c) r = 10,96 ohms
Explanation:
My blower requires 120 (v) then, I have to connect a series resistor to make the nominal 240 (v) of the European voltage outlet drop to 120 (V) but at the same time keep the level of current to operate my blower
In America
P = V*I
1700 (w) = 120*I
I = 1700/120 [A]
I = 14,16 [A] current needed for the blower
In Europe
120 (v) (the drop of voltage I need) when a current of 14,16 passes through to series resistor is
V = I*R 120 = 14,16* R R = 8,47 ohms
c) P = I*r²
1700 (w) = 14,16 (A) * r²
r² = 120,06
r = 10,96 ohms
A father and his son want to play on a seesaw. Where on the seesaw should each of them sit to balance the torque?
Answer:
A The father should sit closer to the pivot.
C The longer wrench makes the job easier because less force is needed when there is more distance from the pivot.
A As far from the head of the hammer as possible because this will maximize torque.
D at the opposite side of the seesaw towards the middle
:) gl
Explanation:
If a father and his son want to play on a seesaw then to balance the torque of the seesaw the father should sit near the pivot as he had more weight as compared to his son, while the son should sit a little farther from the pivot point as compared to his father.
What is the mechanical advantage?
Mechanical advantage is defined as a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, It is used to analyze the forces in simple machines like levers and pulleys.
Mechanical advantage = output force(load) /input force (effort)
As given in the problem statement If a father and his son wish to play on a seesaw,
The father should sit close to the pivot because he weighs more than his son, and the son should sit a little farther away from the pivot point than his father. This will help balance the torque of the seesaw.
Thus, the father should sit near the pivot on the one side and the son should sit a little farther from the pivot of a seesaw on the other side.

A race-car drives around a circular track of radius RRR. The race-car speeds around its first lap at linear speed v_iv i v, start subscript, i, end subscript. Later, its speed increases to 4v_i4v i 4, v, start subscript, i, end subscript. How does the magnitude of the car's centripetal acceleration change after the linear speed increases
Answer:
The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration increases by 16 times when the linear speed increases by 4 times.
Explanation:
The initial centripetal acceleration, a of the race-car around the circular track of radius , R with a linear speed v is a = v²/R.
When the linear speed of the race-car increases to v' = 4v, the centripetal acceleration a' becomes a' = v'²/R = (4v)²/R = 16v²/R.
So the centripetal acceleration, a' = 16v²/R.
To know how much the magnitude of the car's centripetal acceleration changes, we take the ratio a'/a = 16v²/R ÷ v²/R = 16
a'/a = 16
a' = 16a.
So the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration increases by 16 times when the linear speed increases by 4 times.
A string is stretched and fixed at both ends, 200 cm apart. If the density of the string is 0.015 g/cm, and its tension is 600 N, what is the wavelength (in cm) of the first harmonic?
Answer:
200cm
Explanation:
Answer:
100cm
Explanation:
Using
F= ( N/2L)(√T/u)
F1 will now be (0.5*2)( √600/0.015)
=> L( wavelength)= 200/2cm = 100cm
What is the thinnest soap film (excluding the case of zero thickness) that appears black when illuminated with light with a wavelength of 580 nm
Answer:
Explanation:
In case of soap film , light gets reflected from denser medium , hence interference takes place between two waves , one reflected from upper and second from lower surface . For destructive interference the condition is
2μt = nλ where μ is refractive index of water , t is thickness , λ is wavelength of light and n is an integer .
2 x 1.34 x t = 1 x 580
t = 216.42 nm .
Thickness must be 216.42 nm .
A vertical spring stretches 3.8 cm when a 13-g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 20 g that oscillates in simple harmonic motion. Calculate the period of motion.
Answer:
The period of motion is 0.5 second.
Explanation:
Given;
extension of the spring, x = 3.8 cm = 0.038 m
mass of the object, m = 13 g = 0.013 kg
Determine the force constant of the spring, k;
F = kx
k = F / x
k = mg / x
k = (0.013 x 9.8) / 0.038
k = 3.353 N/m
When the object is replaced with a block of mass 20 g, the period of motion is calculated as;
[tex]T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\\\T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.02}{3.353} } \\\\T = 0.5 \ second[/tex]
Therefore, the period of motion is 0.5 second.
(4) Use the preliminary observations to answer these questions; Compared to no polarizer or analyzer in the optical path, by what percent does the light intensity decrease when (a) The polarizer is introduced into the optical path? (b) The both polarizer and analyzer are introduced into the optical path?
Answer:
a) I = I₀/2, b) I = I₀/2 cos² θ
Explanation:
To answer these questions, let's analyze a little the way of working of a polarized
* When a non-polarized light hits a polarizer, the electric field that is not in the direction of the polarizer is absorbed, so the transmitted light is
i = I₀ / 2
and is polarized in the direction of the polarizer
* when a polarized light reaches the analyzer it must comply with Malus's law
I = I₁ cos² θ
where the angle is between the polarized light and the analyzer.
With this, let's answer the questions
a) When a polarizer is placed in the non-polarized light path, half of it is absorbed and only the light that has polarization in the direction of the polarizer is transmitted with an intensity of
I = I₀/2
b) when a polarizer and an analyzer are fitted, the intensity of the light transmitted by the analyzer is
I = I₀/2 cos² θ
where the final value depends on the angle between the polarizer and the analyzer.
Let's look at two extreme cases
θ = 0 I = Io / 2
θ = 90º I = 0
What happens to the deflection of the galvanometer needle (due to moving the magnet) when you increase the number of loops
Answer:
If the magnet is moved, the galvanometer needle will deflect, showing that current is flowing through the coil which will increase total induced electromotive force
Explanation:
galvanometer is an instrument that can detect and measure small current in an electrical circuit.
If the magnet is moved, the galvanometer needle will deflect, showing that current is flowing through the coil. If it is move in a way into the coil,the needle deflect in that way and if it move in another way, it will deflect in the other way.
The total induced emf is equal to the emf induced in each loop by the changing magnetic flux, then multiplied by the number of loops and an increase in the number of loops will cause increase in the total induced emf.
In a photoelectric-effect experiment it is observed that no current flows unless the wavelength is less than 540 nmnm . Part A What is the work function of this material
Answer:
Φ = 36.84 × 10^(-20) J
Explanation:
In the photoelectric effect, the energy of the incoming photon is usually used in part to extract the photoelectron from the material (work function) and then the rest is converted into kinetic energy of the photoelectron which is given by the formula;
K_max = hf - Φ
where;
hf represents the energy of the incoming photon
h is the Planck's constant
f is the light frequency
Φ is the work function of the material
K_max is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.
From the question, we are told that no current flows unless the wavelength is less than 540 nm. This means that when the wavelength has this value, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is zero i.e K_max = 0. Thus the energy of the incoming photons is just enough to extract the photoelectrons from the material.
Thus,
hf - Φ = 0
hf = Φ - - - (1)
We are given the wavelength as;
λ = 540 nm = 540 × 10^(-9) m
Now, let's find the frequency of the light by using the relationship between frequency and wavelength. The equation is;
f = c/λ
Where c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s
f = (3 × 10^(8))/(540 × 10^(-9))
f = 5.56 × 10^(14) Hz
Thus, from equation 1,we can now find the work function;
Φ = hf
h is Planck's constant and has a value of 6.626 × 10^(-34) J.s
Thus;
Φ = 6.626 × 10^(-34) × 5.56 × 10^(14)
Φ = 36.84 × 10^(-20) J
Suppose you exert a force of 185 N tangential to the outer edge of a 1.73-m radius 76-kg grindstone (which is a solid disk).
Required:
a. What torque is exerted?
b. What is the angular acceleration assuming negligible opposing friction?
c. What is the angular acceleration if there is an opposing frictional force of 20.0 N exerted 1.50 cm from the axis?
Answer:
a. 320.06 Nm b. 2.814 rad/s² c. 2.811 rad/s².
Explanation:
a. The torque exerted τ = Frsinθ where F = tangential force exerted = 185 N, r = radius of grindstone = 1.73 m and θ = 90° since the force is tangential to the grindstone.
τ = Frsinθ
= 185 N × 1.73 m × sin90°
= 320.05 Nm
So, the torque τ = 320.05 Nm
b. Since torque τ = Iα where I = moment of inertia of grindstone = 1/2MR² where M = mass of grindstone = 76 kg and R = radius of grindstone = 1.73 m
α = angular acceleration of grindstone
τ = Iα
α = τ/I = τ/(MR²/2) = 2τ/MR²
substituting the values of the variables, we have
α = 2τ/MR²
= 2 × 320.05 Nm/[76 kg × (1.73 m)²]
= 640.1 Nm/227.4604 kgm²
= 2.814 rad/s²
So, the angular acceleration α = 2.814 rad/s²
c. The opposing frictional force produces a torque τ' = F'r' where F' = frictional force = 20.0 N and r' = distance of frictional force from axis = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m.
So τ' = F'r' = 20.0 N × 0.015 m = 0.3 Nm
The net torque on the grindstone is thus τ'' = τ - τ' = 320.05 Nm - 0.3 Nm = 319.75 Nm
Since τ'' = Iα
α' = τ''/I where α' = its new angular acceleration
α' = 2τ/MR²
= 2 × 319.75 Nm/[76 kg × (1.73 m)²]
= 639.5 Nm/227.4604 kgm²
= 2.811 rad/s²
So, the angular acceleration α' = 2.811 rad/s²
What happens to the magnetic field when you reverse the direction of current by sliding the battery voltage bar past 0 volts
Answer:
The polarity of the magnetic field changes
Explanation:
This because The magnetic field generated is always perpendicular to the direction of the current and parallel to the solonoid. Hence if we reverse the current the direction of magnetism also reverses. In other words the magnetic poles gets reversed (North pole becomes south pole and the south pole becomes the north pole)
