An object is inside a room that has a constant temperature of 289 K. Via radiation, the object emits three times as much power as it absorbs from the room. What is the temperature (in kelvins) of the object

Answer:

The number is  [tex]Z = 216 \ fringes[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 520 \ nm = 520 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

       The length of the glass plates is [tex]y = 21.1cm = 0.211 \ m[/tex]

      The distance between the plates (radius of wire ) =  [tex]d = 0.028 mm = 2.8 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]

   Generally the condition for constructive  interference in a film is mathematically represented as

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

Where  t is the thickness of the separation between the glass i.e  

    t  = 0 at the edge where the glasses are touching each other and  

     t =  2d at the edge where the glasses are separated by the wire  

   m is the order of the fringe it starts from  0, 1 , 2 ...

So  

       [tex]2 * 2 * d = [m + \frac{1}{2} ] 520 *10^{-9}[/tex]

=>   [tex]2 * 2 * (2.8 *10^{-5}) = [m + \frac{1}{2} ] 520 *10^{-9}[/tex]

=>    

       [tex]m = 215[/tex]

given that we start counting m from zero

   it means that the number of  bright fringes that would appear is

         [tex]Z = m + 1[/tex]

=>    [tex]Z = 215 +1[/tex]

=>     [tex]Z = 216 \ fringes[/tex]

Answer:

0.09N, attractive

Explanation:

It can be deducted from the question that the currents are arranged in parallel settings, then it is obvious that the force on each of the wire will be attractive toward the other wire.

the magnitude of force can be determined by using below formula;

F2 = (μ₀/2π)(I₁I₂/d)I₂

μ₀ = constant = 4π × 10^-7 H/m,

I₁, I₂ = currents= 30A

L = the length o the wire=30m

d = distance between these two wires= 0.06m

Since the current are arranged in the same direction, they exhibit attractive force on each other.

Then plugging the values Into the formula above we have

F₂ = (4π × 10^-7 T.m/A)/2π) × ((30A)²/ 0.06m)× 30 m

= 0.09 N, attractive

Therefore, the magnitude and direction of the force is 0.09 N, attractive

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, ...

Answer:

d. unchanged.

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

Answer:

a) 3.6 ft

b) 12.4 ft

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = 3.6 ft

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = 12.4 ft

Answer:

Option (D) : 0.5 kg

Explanation:

[tex]mass = density \times volume[/tex]

[tex]mass = {2500} \times 0.1 \times 0.05 \times 0.04[/tex]

Mass of block = 0.5 kg

the mass of a rectangular block of density 2.5 ×10³ k gm³ that measures 10cm by 5 cm by 4 cm is 0.5 kg.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. it tells how much mass a body is having for its unit volume. for example egg yolk has 1027kg/m³ of density, means if we collect numbers of egg yolk and keep it in a container having volume 1 m³ then total amount of mass it is having will be 1027kg. Density is a scalar quantity. when we add egg yolk into the water, egg yolk has greater density than water( 997 kg/m³), because of higher density of egg yolk it contains higher mass in same volume as water. hence due to higher mass higher gravitational force is acting on the egg yolk therefore it goes down on the inside the water. water will float upon the egg yolk. same situation we have seen when we spread oil in the water. ( in that case water has higher density than oil. thats why oil floats on the water)

The Volume of the block is,

V = LBD, where L = length, B = breadth , D = depth of the block.

V = 10 × 5 × 4 = 200 cm³

Density of Block = 2.5 ×10³ kg/m³

Density = Mass / Volume

2.5 ×10³ kg/m³ =  Mass /  200 cm³

2.5 ×10³ kg/m³ × 200 cm³ =  Mass

2.5 ×10³ kg/m³ × 0.2 × 10⁻³ m³ =  Mass

Mass = 0.5 kg

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.

Answer:

The radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of light, I = 1 kW/m²

[tex]Radiation \ Pressure = \frac{Flux \ density}{Speed \ of \ light}[/tex]

I kW = 1000 J/s

The energy flux density = 1000 J/m².s

The speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the radiation pressure of the light is calculated as;

[tex]Radiation \ pressure = \frac{1000}{3*10^{8}} \\\\Radiation \ pressure =3.33*10^{-6} \ Pa[/tex]

Therefore, the radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

Answer:

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:

C = ε₀A/d

where,

C = Capacitance

ε₀ = Permeability of free space

A = Area of plates

d = Distance between plates

FOR CAPACITOR A:

C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F

A = A₁

d = d₁

Therefore,

CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F   ----------------- equation 1

FOR CAPACITOR B:

C = CB = ?

A = A₁/2

d = 2 d₁

Therefore,

CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁

CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)

using equation 1:

CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Answer:

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.

How long is the other pipe?

From above;

The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:

[tex]f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}[/tex]

where n = 1 ( since half wavelength exist between those two pipes)

v = 343 m/s  and L = 2.08 m

Thus, the shorter pipe produces a frequency of :

[tex]f = \dfrac{1*343}{2*2.08}[/tex]

[tex]f = \dfrac{343}{4.16}[/tex]

[tex]f =82.45 \ Hz[/tex]

Also; we know that the beat frequency was given as 8.0 Hz

Then,

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = ( 82.45 - 8.0 )Hz

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = 74.45 Hz

Finally;

From the above equation; make Length L the subject of the formula. Then,

The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{nv}{2f}[/tex]

The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{1*343}{2*74.45}[/tex]

The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{343}{148.9}[/tex]

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Answer:

30.93 cm

Explanation:

Given that:

A person with a near point of 85 cm, but excellent distance vision normally wears corrective glasses

The power of the old pair of lens p = 2.25 diopters

The focal point length = 1/p

The focal point length =  1/2.25

The focal point length = 0.444 m

The focal point length = 44.4 cm

The near point of the person from the glass = (85 -2)cm , This is because the glasses are usually 2 cm from the lens

The near point of the person from the glass = 83 cm

Let consider s' to be the image on the same sides of the lens,

∴ s' = -83 cm

We known that:

the focal length of a mirror image 1/f =1/u +1/v

Assume the near point is at an excellent distance s from the glass where the person wears the corrective glasses.

Then:

1/f = 1/s + 1/s'

1/s = 1/f - 1/s'

1/s = (s' -f)/fs'

s = fs'/(s'-f)

s =( 44.4× -83)/(-83 - 44.4)

s = - 3685.2 / - 127.4

s = 28.93 cm

Thus , the near distance point measured from the eye wearing the old glasses, if they rest 2.0 cm in front of the eye = (28.93 +2.0)cm

= 30.93 cm

Answer:

A = 6.8 km²

Explanation:

A) The sail should be reflective. This is so that, it can produce the maximum radiation pressure.

B) let's begin with the formula used to calculate the average solar sail in orbit around the sun. Thus;

F_rad = 2IA/c

I is given by the formula;

I = P/(4πr²)

Thus;

F_rad = (2A/c) × (P/(4πr²)) = PA/2cπr²

Where;

A is the area of the sail

r is the distance of the sail from the sun

c is the speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

P is total power output of the sun = 3.90 × 10^(26) W

Now,F_rad = F_g

Where F_g is gravitational force.

Thus;

PA/2cπr² = G•m•M_sun/r²

r² will cancel out to givw;

PA/2cπ = G•m•M_sun

Making A the subject, we have;

A = (2•c•π•G•m•M_sun)/P

Now, m = 1.06 × 10⁴ kg and M_sun has a standard value of 1.99 × 10^(30) kg

G is gravitational constant and has a value of 6.67 × 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Thus;

A = (2 × 3 × 10^(8) × π × 6.67 × 10^(-11) × 1.06 × 10^(4) × 1.99 × 10^(30))/(3.90 × 10^(26))

A = 6.8 × 10^(6) m² = 6.8 km²

Answer:

Capacitor, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The unknown element is a Capacitor.

Below is the calculation that proves that it is a capacitor.

We know that for the Capacitor

i = Imax × sin(wt+(pi/2)).

i = Imax × sin ((2 × pi/T) × (T/4) + (pi/2))

i = Imax × sin(3.142) = 0 A

at, t = T/2

wt = (2 × pi/T) × (T/2) = pi

wt + (pi/2) = pi + (pi/2) = ( 3 × pi/2) =

i = Imax × sin(3 × pi/2) = -Imax

Which is in a correct agreement with capacitor  therefore, the answer is a Capacitor.

Answer:

Option C: E = 75 N/C

Explanation:

We are given;

Uniform linear density; λ = 6.7 nC/m = 6.7 × 10^(-9) C/m

Distance on the y-axis; d = 1.6 m

Now, the formula for electric field with uniform linear density is given as;

E = λ/(2•π•r•ε_o)

Where;

E is electric field

λ is uniform linear density = 6.7 × 10^(-9) C/m

r is distance = 1.6m

ε_o is a constant = 8.85 × 10^(-12) C²/N.m²

Thus;

Answer:

A) P_rad.abs = 2.4 × 10^(-8) Pa and P_rad.ref = 4.8 × 10^(-8) Pa

B) P_rad.abs = 2.369 × 10^(-13) atm and P_rad.ref = 4.738 × 10^(-13) atm

Explanation:

A) The formula for radiation pressure for absorbed light is given as;

P_rad = I/c

Where I is the intensity = 7.20 W/m² and c is the speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

Thus;

P_rad = 7.2/(3 × 10^(8))

P_rad.abs = 2.4 × 10^(-8) Pa

Now formula for radiation pressure for reflected light is given as;

P_rad = 2I/c

Thus;

P_rad = (2 × 7.2)/(3 × 10^(8))

P_rad.ref = 4.8 × 10^(-8) Pa

B) Now, 1.013 × 10^(5) Pa = 1 atm

Thus, for the absorbed surface, we have;

P_rad.abs = (2.4 × 10^(-8))/(1.013 × 10^(5))

P_rad.abs = 2.369 × 10^(-13) atm

For the reflecting surface, we have;

P_rad_ref = (4.8 × 10^(-8))/(1.013 × 10^(5))

P_rad.ref = 4.738 × 10^(-13) atm

v = 0.89 c = 2.67 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The time dilation consequence of the special theory of relativity shall be used here, From time dilation formula we have:

t = t₀/√[1 - v²/c²]

where,

t = time measured by the person on earth = 2.50 s

t₀ = rest time of the intergalactic rock star = 1.30 s

v = relative speed of the rock star = ?

Therefore,

2.5 s = (1.3 s)/√[1 - v²/c²]

√[1 - v²/c²] = 1.3/2.5

√[1 - v²/c²] = 0.52

[1 - v²/c²] = 0.52²

[1 - v²/c²] = 0.2074

v²/c² = 1 - 0.2074

v²/c² = 0.7926

v/c = √0.7926

v = 0.89 c

where,

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = (0.89)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)

v = 0.89 c = 2.67 x 10⁸ m/s

a = Δv/Δt = 11 ft/s ÷ 0.16 s = 68.75 ft/s²

Since torque τ = Tk = Iα where I = moment of inertia of larger drum = Mk² where m = mass of larger drum = 4 lbs, k = radius of gyration of larger drum = 1.25 inches, T = tension due to larger drum and α = angular acceleration of larger drum.

So, T = Iα/k = Mk²α/k = Mαk = Ma (since a = αk )

T = 4 lbs × 68.75 ft/s² = 275 lb

The tension due to the smaller drum is T' = 6 lb  .

So the net tension in the belt is T'' = T - T' = 275 lb - 6 lb = 269 lb

Answer:

Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm

Explanation:

The distance between the consecutive maxima, in Young's Double Slit Experiment is given bu the following formula:

Δx = λD/d

So, the distance between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen will be given as:

Δx = 4λD/d

where,

Δx = distance between eighth order maximum and fourth order maximum=?

λ = wavelength = 487 nm = 4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit separation = 0.2 mm = 2 x 10⁻⁴ m

D = Distance between slits and screen = 48 cm = 0.48 m

Therefore,

Δx = (4)(4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m)(0.48 m)/(2 x 10⁻⁴ m)

Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm

Answer:

Objects that are closer together have a stronger force of gravity between them.

Explanation:

For example, the moon is closer to Earth than it is to the more massive sun, so the force of gravity is greater between the moon and Earth than between the moon and the sun.
