Answer:
4.635 *10^12 Neutrinos
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are to determine the number of neutrinos in billions produced, given the power generated by the proton-proton cycle.
We proceed as follows;
In proton-proton cycle generates 26.7 MeV of energy and in this cycle two neutrinos are produced.
From the question, we are given that
Power P = 9.9 watts = 9.9 J/s
Watts is same as J/s
The number of proton-proton cycles required to generate E energy is N = E / E '
Where E ' = Energy generated in proton-proton cycle which is given as 26.7 Mev in the question
Converting Mev to J, we have
= 26.7 x1.6 x10 -13 J
To get the number N which is the number of proton-proton cycle required, we have;
N = 9.9 /(26.7 x1.6 x10^-13) = 2.32 * 10^12
Since we have two proton cycles( proton-proton), it automatically means 2 neutrinos will be produced.
Therefore number of neutrions produced = 2 x Number of proton-proton cycles = 2 * 2.32 * 10^12 = 4.635 * 10^12 neutrinos
A swimmer is treading water with their head above the surface of a pool and sees a penny at the bottom of the pool 5.0 mm below. How deep does the coin appear to be? (Index of refraction of water = 1.33) [Conceptual note: Does the coin appear to be shallower or deeper?]
Answer:
The apparent depth is [tex]D' = 0.00376 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The depth of the water is [tex]D = 5.0 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The refractive index of water is [tex]n = 1.33[/tex]
Generally the apparent depth of the coin is mathematically represented as
[tex]D' = D * [\frac{ n_a}{n} ][/tex]
Here [tex]n_a[/tex] is the refractive index of air the value is [tex]n_a = 1[/tex]
So
[tex]D' = 5.0 *10^{-3} * [\frac{1}{1.33} ][/tex]
[tex]D' = 0.00376 \ m[/tex]
The apparent depth will be 0.00376 m.
What is an index of refraction?
The index of refraction of a substance also known as the refraction index is a dimensionless quantity that specifies how quickly light passes through it in optics.
d is the depth of the water =5.0 mm =5.0 ×10⁻³
n is the refractive index of water =1.33
[tex]\rm n_a[/tex] is the refractive index of wire=1
The apparent depth of the coin is given as;
[tex]\rm D'=D \times \frac{n_a}{n} \\\\ \rm D'=5.0 \times 10^{-3} \times \frac{1}{1.33} \\\\ \rm D'=0.00376 \ m[/tex]
Hence the apparent depth will be 0.00376 m.

?a wire is stretched 30% what is the percentage change in resistance
Answer:
The percentage change in resistance of the wire is 69%.
Explanation:
Resistance of a wire can be determined by,
R = (ρl) ÷ A
Where R is its resistance, l is the length of the wire, A its cross sectional area and ρ its resistivity.
When the wire is stretched, its length and area changes but its volume and resistivity remains constant.
[tex]l_{o}[/tex] = 1.3l, and [tex]A_{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{A}{1.3}[/tex]
So that;
[tex]R_{o}[/tex] = (ρ[tex]l_{o}[/tex]) ÷ [tex]A_{o}[/tex] = (ρ × 1.3l) ÷ ([tex]\frac{A}{1.3}[/tex])
= (1.3lρ) ÷ ([tex]\frac{A}{1.3}[/tex])
= [tex](1.3)^{2}[/tex] × [(ρl) ÷ A]
= 1.69R (∵ R = (ρl) ÷ A)
[tex]R_{o}[/tex] = 1.69R
Where [tex]R_{o}[/tex] is the new resistance, [tex]l_{o}[/tex] is the new length, and [tex]A_{o}[/tex] is the new area after stretching the wire.
The change in resistance of the wire = [tex]R_{o}[/tex] - R
= 1.69R - 1R
= 0.69R
The percentage change in resistance = [tex]\frac{0.69R}{R}[/tex] × 100
= 0.69 × 100
= 69%
The percentage change in resistance of the wire is 69%.
A professor, with dumbbells in his hands and holding his arms out, is spinning on a turntable with an angular velocity. What happens after he pulls his arms inwards
Answer:
His angular velocity will increase.
Explanation:
According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.
The angular momentum of a system = [tex]I[/tex]'ω'
where
[tex]I[/tex]' is the initial rotational inertia
ω' is the initial angular velocity
the rotational inertia = [tex]mr'^{2}[/tex]
where m is the mass of the system
and r' is the initial radius of rotation
Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.
we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to [tex]I[/tex].
From
[tex]I[/tex]'ω' = [tex]I[/tex]ω
since [tex]I[/tex] is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'
therefore, the angular velocity increases.
Two narrow slits are illuminated by a laser with a wavelength of 593 nm. The interference pattern on a screen located x = 4.80 m away shows that the fourth-order bright fringe is located y = 8.20 cm away from the central bright fringe. Calculate the distance between the two slits.
Answer:
The distance is [tex]d = 1.39 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 593 \ nm = 593 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the screen is x = 4.80 m
The location of the fourth order bright fringe is y = 8.20 cm = 0.082 m
The order of the fringe is n = 4
Generally the position of a fringe with respect to the central fringe is mathematically represented as
[tex]y = \frac{ n * x * \lambda }{d}[/tex]
Where d is the distance between the slits, so making d the subject
[tex]d = \frac{\lambda * x * n }{ y }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]d = \frac{ 593 *10^{-9} * 4.80 * 4 }{ 0.082 }[/tex]
[tex]d = 1.39 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
A 1.5 V battery is connected to a 1000 ohm resistor and a 500 ohm resistor in series. The voltage across the 1000 ohm resistor is _____ V.
Answer:
1 volt and 0.5 voltExplanation:
Given data
voltage supplied Vs= 1.5 volts
resistance R1= 1000 ohms
resistance R2= 500 ohms
The total resistance is
Rt= 1000+ 500
Rt= 1500 ohms
The current I is given as
[tex]I= \frac{Vs}{Rt} \\\\ I= \frac{1.5}{1500} = 0.001mA[/tex]
Voltage across R1
[tex]VR1= Vs(\frac{R1}{R1+R2} )=1.5(\frac{1000}{1000+500} )= 1.5(\frac{1000}{1500} )\\ \\\ VR1= 1v[/tex]
Voltage across R2
[tex]VR2= Vs(\frac{R2}{R1+R2} )=1.5(\frac{500}{1000+500} )= 1.5(\frac{500}{1500} ) \\\ VR2=0.5v[/tex]
In series connection the current is the same for all components while the voltage divides across all components,the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage.

Explanation:
Applying,
v = ωr......................... Equation 1
Where v = linear speed, ω = angular speed and r = radius.
Note that,
r = d/2................. Equation 2
Where d = diameter of the wheel.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
v = ωd/2............... Equation 3
make ω the subject of the equation
ω = 2v/d................ Equation 4
Given: v = 4 m/s, d = 60 cm = 0.6 m
Substitute these values into equation 4
ω = 2(4)/0.6
ω = 13.33 rad/s
At sea level, at a latitude where , a pendulum that takes 2.00 s for a complete swing back and forth has a length of 0.993 m. What is the value of g in m/s2 at a location where the length of such a pendulum is 0.970 m
Answer:
a) The value of g at such location is:
[tex]g=9.8005171\,\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
b) the period of the pendulum with the length is 0.970 m is:
[tex]T=1.9767 sec[/tex]
Explanation:
Recall the relationship between the period (T) of a pendulum and its length (L) when it swings under an acceleration of gravity g:
[tex]L=\frac{g}{4\,\pi^2} \,T^2[/tex]
a) Then, given that we know the period (2.0 seconds), and the pendulum's length (L=0.993 m), we can determine g at that location:
[tex]g=\frac{4\,\pi^2\,L}{T^2}\\g=\frac{4\,\pi^2\,0.993}{(2)^2}\\g=\pi^2\,(0.993)\,\frac{m}{s^2} \\g=9.8005171\,\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
b) for this value of g, when the pendulum is shortened to 0.970 m, the period becomes:
How much work is needed to pump all the water out of a cylindrical tank with a height of 10 m and a radius of 5 m
Answer:
Explanation:
volume of water being lifted
= π r² h , where r is radius of cylinder and h is height of cylinder
= 3.14 x5² x 10
= 785 m³
mass of water = 785 x 10³ kg
mass of this much of water is lifted so that its centre of mass is lifted by height
10 / 2 = 5m .
So work done = mgh , m is mass of water , h is displacement of centre of mass and g is acceleration due to gravity
= 785 x 10³ x 9.8 x 5
= 38.465 x 10⁶ J
A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. The skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 950 kg. Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
volume of balloon
= 4/3 T R3
= 4/3 x 3.14 x 6.953
= 1405.47 m3
uplift force
= volume of balloon x density of air x 9.8
= = 1405.47 x 1.29 x 9.8
= 1813.05 x 9.8 N
weight of helium gas
= volume of balloon x density of helium x
9.8
= 1405.47 x .179 x 9.8
= 251.58 x 9.8 N
Weight of other mass = 930 x 9.8 N Total weight acting downwards
= 251.58 x 9.8 +930 x 9.8
= 1181.58 x 9.8 N
If W be extra weight the uplift can balance
1181.58 × 9.8 + W × 9.8 = 1813.05 * 9.8
1181.58+W=1813.05
W= 631.47 kg

a = 5x 10⁻⁶ m .
angle at which first order peak is formed
= λ / a (where λ is wavelength and a is width of slit)
given λ = 617.3 x 10⁻⁹ m
a = 5 x 10⁻⁶
θ = 617.3 x 10⁻⁹ / 5 x 10⁻⁶
= 123.5x 10⁻³ radian .
first order peak is formed at an angle of 123.5 x 10⁻³ radian .

If an electromagnetic wave has components Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt) and Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt), in what direction is it traveling?
Answer:
Its traveling in the +x direction
Explanation:
The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.
The electromagnetic wave is travelling in the +x direction.
Electromagnetic waves are waves formed as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field.
Given that:
Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt)
Hence the electric field is moving in the +y direction.
Also, Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt)
Hence the magnetic field is moving in the +z direction
Electric fields and magnetic fields (E and B) in an EM wave are perpendicular to each other and are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
Therefore the direction of the wave is travelling in the +x direction.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 520 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel slits separated by a distance (between centers) of 0.440 mm.
1. If the slits are very narrow, what would be the angular position of the first-order, two-slit, interference maxima?
2. What would be the angular position of the second-order, two-slit, interference maxima in this case?
3. Let the slits have a width 0.310 mm . In terms of the intensity I0 at the center of the central maximum, what is the intensity at the angular position of θ1?
4. What is the intensity at the angular position of θ2?
Answer:
1) θ = 0.00118 rad, 2) θ = 0.00236 rad , 3) I / I₀ = 0.1738, 4) I / Io = 0.216
Explanation:
In the double-slit interference phenomenon it is explained for constructive interference by the equation
d sin θ = m λ
1) the first order maximum occurs for m = 1
sin θ = λ / d
θ = sin⁻¹ λ / d
let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
λ = 520 nm = 520 10⁻⁹ θ = 0.00118 radm
d = 0.440 mm = 0.440 10⁻³ m ³
let's calculate
θ = sin⁻¹ (520 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)
θ = sin⁻¹ (1.18 10⁻³)
θ = 0.00118 rad
2) the second order maximum occurs for m = 2
θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)
θ = sin⁻¹ (2 5¹20 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)
θ = 0.00236 rad
3) To calculate the intensity of the interference spectrum, the diffraction phenomenon must be included, so the equation remains
I = I₀ cos² (π d sin θ /λ ) sinc² (pi b sin θ /λ )
where the function sinc = sin x / x
and b is the width of the slits
we caption the values
x = π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹)
x = 2.21
I / I₀ = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin (2.21) /2.21)²
remember angles are in radians
I / I₀ = cos² (3.0945) [0.363] 2
I / I₀ = 0.9978 0.1318
I / I₀ = 0.1738
4) the maximum second intensity is
I / I₀ = cos² (π d sinθ / λ) sinc² (πb sin θ /λ)
x =π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹)
x = 4.41
I / Io = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin 4.41 / 4.41)²
I / Io = cos² 6.273 0.216
I / Io = 0.216

the number of turns of the coil, N = 1000 turns
area of the coil, A = 0.001 m²
angular frequency of the coil, f = 100 cycles/seconds
magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 0.5 T
The peak output voltage of this generator is given by;
E = NBAω
Where;
ω is the angular velocity = 2πf
E = NBA(2πf)
E = 1000 x 0.5 x 0.001(2 x π x 100)
E = 314.2 V
Therefore, the peak output voltage of this generator is 314.2 V.
The same force is applied to two hoops. The hoops have the same mass, but the larger hoop has twice the radius. How are the angular accelerations of the hoops related
Answer:
The angular accelerations of the hoops are related by the following equation [tex]\alpha _1 = 2\alpha_2[/tex].
Explanation:
Net force on the hoop is given by;
[tex]F_{net} = ma[/tex]
where;
a is linear acceleration
m is the mass
Net torque on the hoop is given by;
[tex]\tau_{net} =I\alpha[/tex]
where;
I is moment of inertia
α is the angular acceleration
But, τ = Fr
[tex]Fr = I \alpha\\\\\alpha = \frac{Fr}{I} \\\\\alpha = \frac{Fr}{mr^2} \\\\\alpha = \frac{F}{mr} \\\\\alpha = \frac{1}{r} (\frac{F}{m} )\\\\(since\ the \ force\ and \ mass \ are \ the \ same, \frac{F}{m} = constant=k)\\\\ \alpha = \frac{k}{r}\\\\k = \alpha r[/tex]
[tex]\alpha _1 r_1= \alpha_2 r_2[/tex]
let the angular acceleration of the smaller hoop = α₁
let the radius of the smaller hoop = r₁
then, the radius of the larger loop, r₂ = 2r₁
let the angular acceleration of the larger hoop = α₂
[tex]\alpha _1 r_1= \alpha_2 r_2\\\\\alpha_2= \frac{ \alpha _1 r_1}{r_2} \\\\\alpha_2=\frac{\alpha _1 r_1}{2r_1} \\\\\alpha_2= \frac{\alpha _1}{2} \\\\\alpha _1 = 2\alpha_2[/tex]
Therefore, the angular accelerations of the hoops are related by the following equation [tex]\alpha _1 = 2\alpha_2[/tex]

A 300 MWe (electrical power output) Power Plant having a thermal efficiency of 40% is cooled by sea water. Due to environmental regulations the seawater can only increase temperature by 5 C during the process. How much sea water (minimum) must be used in kg/s for cooling if the plant operates at it's rated capacity?
Answer:
m = 22,877 kg / s
Explanation:
Let's solve this exercise in parts, first look for the amount of heat generated by the plant and then the amount of water to dissipate this heat
The plant generates a power of 300 MW at a rate of 40%, let's use a direct ratio rule to find the heat. If the power is 400 MW it corresponds to 40%, what heat (Q) corresponds to the other 60%
Q = 300 60% / 40%
Q = 450 MW
having the amount of heat generated we can use the calorimeter equation,
Q = m [tex]c_{e}[/tex] [tex](T_{f} - T_{o})[/tex]
m = Q / c_{e} (T_{f} - T_{o})
let's use the maximum temperature change allowed
(T_{f} - T_{o}) = 5
the specific heat of sea water is 3934 J / kg ºC, note that it is less than that of pure water, due to the salts dissolved in sea water
power and energy are related
W = Q / t
Q = W t
let's calculate

For a beam of light in air (n = 1) reflecting off glass (n = 1.5), what is Brewster's angle to the nearest degree?
Answer: 56°
Explanation:
Brewster's angle refers to the angle at the point where light of a certain polarization passes through a transparent dielectric surface and is transmitted perfectly such that no reflection is made.
The formula is;
[tex]= Tan^{-1} (\frac{n_{2} }{n_{1}} )[/tex]
[tex]= Tan^{-1} (\frac{1.5 }{1} )[/tex]
= 56.30993247
= 56°
In the summer of 2010 a huge piece of ice roughly four times the area of Manhattan and 500 m thick caved off the Greenland mainland.
Required:
a. How much heat would be required to melt this iceberg (assumed to be at 0°C) into liquid water at 0°C?
b. The annual U.S. energy consumption is 1.2 x 10^20 J. If all the U.S. energy was used to melt the ice, how many days would it take to do so?
Answer:
a
[tex]Q = 5.34 *10^{19} \ J[/tex]
b
[tex]T = 0.445 * 365 = 162. 413 \ days[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The area of Manhattan is [tex]a_k = 87.46 *10^{6} \ m^2[/tex]
The area of the ice is [tex]a_i = 4* 87.46 *10^{6 } = 3.498 *10^{8}\ m^2[/tex]
The thickness is [tex]t = 500 \ m \\[/tex]
Generally the volume of the ice is mathematically represented is
[tex]V = a_i * t[/tex]
substituting value
[tex]V = 500 * 3.498*10^{8}[/tex]
[tex]V = 1.75 *10^{11}\ m^3[/tex]
Generally the mass of the ice is
[tex]m_i = \rho_i * V[/tex]
Here [tex]\rho_i[/tex] is the density of ice the value is [tex]\rho _i = 916.7 \ kg/m^3[/tex]
=> [tex]m_i = 916.7 * 1.75*10^{11}[/tex]
=> [tex]m_i = 1.60 *10^{14} \ kg[/tex]
Generally the energy needed for the ice to melt is mathematically represented as
[tex]Q = m _i * H_f[/tex]
Where [tex]H_f[/tex] is the latent heat of fusion of ice and the value is [tex]H_f = 3.33*10^{5} \ J/kg[/tex]
=> [tex]Q = 1.60 *10^{14} * 3.33*10^{5}[/tex]
=> [tex]Q = 5.34 *10^{19} \ J[/tex]
Considering part b
We are told that the annual energy consumption is [tex]G = 1.2*10^{20 } \ J / year[/tex]
So the time taken to melt the ice is
[tex]T = \frac{ 5.34 *10^{19}}{ 1.2 *10^{20}}[/tex]
[tex]T = 0.445 \ years[/tex]
converting to days
[tex]T = 0.445 * 365 = 162. 413 \ days[/tex]
what conventions are used in SI to indicate units
Answer:
Conventions used in SI to indicate units are as follows:
Only singular form of units are used. for example: use kg and not kgs.Do not use full stop after the abbreviations of any unit. for example: do not use kg. or cm.Use one space between last numeric digit and SI unit. for example: 10 cm, 9 km.Symbols and words should not be mixed. for example: use Kilogram per cubic and not kilogram/m3.While writing numerals, only the symbols of the units should be written. for example: use 10 cm and not Ten cm.Units named after a scientist should be written in small letters. for example: newton, henry.Degree sign should not be used when the kelvin unit is used. for exmaple: use 37° and not 37°k
