Answer:

The complete question is

NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, low-mass sail and the energy and momentum of sunlight for propulsion. (a) Should the sail be absorbing or reflective? Why? (b) The total power output of the sun is 3.9 x 10^26  W. How large a sail is necessary to propel a 10,000-kg spacecraft against the gravitational force of the sun? Express your result in square kilometers. (c) Explain why your answer to part (b) is independent of the distance from the sun.

a) The sail should be reflective because, an incident electromagnetic wave, in this case, light wave, impacts twice the energy density on a reflective sail, and hence twice the force on a totally reflective sail as would be impacted on a sail that is totally absorbing.

For totally reflective, F = (2I/c)A    ....1

for totally reflective, F = (I/c)A       ....2

where I is the intensity of the light

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

A is the area the sail

b) The intensity of the light from the sun = power/area

==> I = [tex]\frac{3.9*10^{26}}{4\pi r^{2} }[/tex]

where r is the distance from the sun and the sail

The Force from the sail from equation 1  is therefore

[tex]F[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2*3.9*10^{26}*A}{4\pi r^{2} *3*10^{8}}[/tex] = [tex]2.069*10^{17}\frac{A}{r^{2}}[/tex]

gravitational force between the sail and the sun [tex]F_{g}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{GMm}{r^{2}}[/tex]

where

G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^−11 m^3⋅s−2⋅kg−1.

m is the mass of the sail = 10000 kg

M is the mass of the sun = 1.99 x 10^30 kg.

==> [tex]F_{g}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1.99*10^{30}*10000}{r^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.33*10^{24}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Equating the forces, we have

[tex]2.069*10^{17}\frac{A}{r^{2}}[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{1.33*10^{24}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

the distance cancels out

A = (1.33 x 10^24)/(2.069 x 10^17) = 6428226.196 m^2

==> 6428.2 km^2

c) The force of the solar radiation is proportional to the intensity of the sun from the light, and the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. Also, the force of gravitation  is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, so they both cancel out.

A fixed 11.2-cm-diameter wire coil is perpendicular to a magnetic field 0.53 T pointing up. In 0.10 s , the field is changed to 0.24 T pointing down. What is the average induced emf in the coil?

Answers

Answer:

The average induced emf in the coil is 0.0286 V

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the wire, d = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

initial magnetic field, B₁ = 0.53 T

final magnetic field, B₂ = 0.24 T

time of change in magnetic field, t = 0.1 s

The induced emf in the coil is calculated as;

E = A(dB)/dt

where;

A is area of the coil = πr²

r is the radius of the wire coil = 0.112m / 2 = 0.056 m

A = π(0.056)²

A = 0.00985 m²

E = -0.00985(B₂-B₁)/t

E = 0.00985(B₁-B₂)/t

E = 0.00985(0.53 - 0.24)/0.1

E = 0.00985 (0.29)/ 0.1

E = 0.0286 V

Therefore, the average induced emf in the coil is 0.0286 V

We have that for the Question, it can be said that the average induced emf in the coil is

E=0.028565V

From the question we are told

A fixed 11.2-cm-diameter wire coil is perpendicular to a magnetic field 0.53 T pointing up. In 0.10 s , the field is changed to 0.24 T pointing down. What is the average induced emf in the coil?

Generally the equation for the Average emf induced   is mathematically given as

[tex]Emf_a=-NA\frac{dB}{dt}\\\\Where\\\\Area\\\\a=\pir^2\\\\a=\pi(0.056)^2\\\\a=0.00985\\\\[/tex]

Hence

[tex]dB=0.24-0.53\\\\dB=-0.29T[/tex]

Therefore

Answers

Answer:

the net work is zero

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

        W = F. ds

Bold type indicates vectors

In this problem, the friction force does not decrease, therefore it will be zero.

Consequently for work on a closed path it is zero.

The work in going from the initial point (0, 0, 0) to the end of each segment is positive and when it returns from the point of origin the angle is 180º, therefore the work is negative, consequently the net work is zero

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

Answers

Answer:

T_object = 380.35 K

Explanation:

From Stefan–Boltzmann law, the power output is given by the formula:

P = σAT⁴

where;

σ is Stefan-Boltzmann constant

A is area of the radiating surface.

T is temperature of the body

Now, we are told that the power the object emitted is 3 times the power absorbed from the room.

Thus, we have;

P_e = 3P_a

Where P_e is power emitted and P_a is power absorbed.

So, we have;

σA(T_object)⁴ = 3σA (T_room)⁴

σA will cancel out to give;

(T_object)⁴ = 3(T_room)⁴

We are given T_room = 289 K

Thus;

(T_object)⁴ = 3 × 289⁴

(T_object) = ∜(3 × 289⁴)

T_object = 380.35 K

UV radiaGon having a wavelength of 120 nm falls on gold metal, to which electrons are bound by 4.82 eV. What is the maximum kineGc energy of the ejected photoelectrons

Answers

Answer:

K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

First we calculate the energy of photon:

E = hc/λ

where,

E = Energy of Photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength = 120 nm = 1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m)

E = (16.565 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

E = 10.35 eV

Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric equation we know that:

Energy of Photon = Work Function + K.E of Electron

10.35 eV = 4.82 eV + K.E

K.E = 10.35 eV - 4.82 eV

K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will be "8.85 × 10⁻¹⁹ J".

Kinetic energy

According to the question,

Speed of light, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Wavelength, λ = 120 nm or,

                        = 1.2 × 10⁻⁷ m

Plank's Constant, h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Now,

The energy of photon will be:

→ E = [tex]\frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]

By substituting the values,

     = [tex]\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 20^8}{1.2\times 10^{-7}}[/tex]

     = [tex]\frac{16.565\times 10^{-19}}{\frac{1 \ eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}} }[/tex]

     = 10.35 eV

By using Einstein's Photoelectric equation,  

Energy of Photon = Work function + K.E

                   10.35 = 4.82 + K.E

                       K.E = 10.35 - 4.82

                             = 5.53 eV or,

                             = 8.85 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

front wheel drive car starts from rest and accelerates to the right. Knowing that the tires do not slip on the road, what is the direction of the friction force the road applies to the rear tire

Answers

Answer:

The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.

Explanation:

This question suggests that the car is accelerating forward. Thus, the easiest way for us to know what friction is doing is for us to know what happens when we turn friction off.

Now, if there is no friction and the car is stopped, if we push down on the accelerator, it will make the front wheels to spin in a clockwise manner. This spin occurs on the frictionless surface with the rear wheels doing nothing while the car doesn't move.

Now, if we apply friction to just the front wheels, the car will accelerate forward while the back wheels would be dragging along the road and not be spinning. Thus, friction opposes the motion and as such, it must act im a direction opposite to where the car is going. This must be static friction.

The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.

If the distance from your eye's lens to the retina is shorter than for a normal eye, you will struggle to see objects that are

Answers

Answer:

far away

Explanation:

There are different types of eye defect ranging from short sightedness, longsighted, astigmatism, presbyopia etc.

If someone is only able to see close ranged object clearly but not far distant object, then such person is suffering from short sightedness or myopia. This occurs when the light rays entering the eye does not converge on the retina. Instead of converging on the retina, the light ray is formed on a point in front of the retina. This causes the distance from the eye's lens to the retina shorter compared to that of a normal eye. This eye defect is usually corrected using concave lens in order to diverge the rays thereby allowing it to focus on the retina.

Hence, if the distance from your eye's lens to the retina is shorter than for a normal eye, you will struggle to see objects that are far away (at a far distant).

How would the interference pattern change for this experiment if a. the grating was moved twice as far from the screen and b. the line density of the grating were doubled?

Answers

Answer:

a) the distance between the interference fringes is reduced by half

b) the distance between stripes is doubled

Explanation:

Interference experiments constructive interference is described by the expression

          d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry to find the distance between the interference fringes

              tan θ=  y / L

dodne y is the distance from the central maximum, L the distance from the slit to the observation screen. In general these experiments are carried out at very small angles

            tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

we substitute

             sin θ = y / L

             

            d y / L = m  λ

           y = m λ / d L

a) it asks us when the screen doubles its distance

           L ’= 2 L

subtitute in the equation

           y ’= m λ / (d 2L)

           y ’=( m λ / d L) /2

           y ’= y / 2

the distance between the interference fringes is reduced by half

b) the density of the network doubles

      if the density doubles in the same distance there are twice as many slits, so the distance between them is reduced by half

            d ’= d / 2

we substitute

          y ’= m λ (L d / 2)

          y ’= m λ / (L d) 2

          y ’= y 2

the distance between stripes is doubled

so that in 9.02 s, it will have covered a distance of

[tex]x=\dfrac a2(9.02\,\mathrm s)^2\approx102\,\mathrm m[/tex]

The car has tires with diameter d = 58.5 cm = 0.585 m, and hence circumference π d ≈ 1.84 m. Divide the distance traveled by the tire circumference to determine how many revolutions it makes:

[tex]\dfrac{102\,\mathrm m}{1.84\,\mathrm m}\approx55.7\,\mathrm{rev}[/tex]

(b) The wheels have average angular velocity

[tex]\omega=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2=\dfrac{\theta_f-\theta_i}{\Delta t}[/tex]

where [tex]\omega[/tex] is the average angular velocity, [tex]\omega_i[/tex] and [tex]\omega_f[/tex] are the initial and final angular velocities (rev/s), [tex]\theta_i[/tex] and [tex]\theta_f[/tex] are the initial and final angular displacements (rev), respectively, and [tex]\Delta t[/tex] is the duration of the time between initial and final measurements. The second equality holds because acceleration is constant.

The wheels start at rest, so

Answers

Answer:

λ = 6.61 x 10⁻⁷ m = 661 nm

Explanation:

From the Young's Double Slit experiment, the the spacing between adjacent bright or dark fringes is given by the following formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = fringe spacing = 2.86 mm = 2.86 x ⁻³ m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 2.12 m

d = slit separation = 0.49 mm = 0.49 x 10⁻³ m

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.86 x 10⁻³ m = λ(2.12 m)/(0.49 x 10⁻³ m)

(2.86 x 10⁻³ m)(0.49 x 10⁻³ m)/(2.12 m) = λ

λ = 6.61 x 10⁻⁷ m = 661 nm

(b) If some of the incident light (at θi = 46.5°) enters the material and travels below the surface, what is the angle of refraction (in degrees)?

Answers

Answer:

a) 1.05

b) 43.6°

Explanation:

a) The index refraction that describes the material can be found using Brewster's law:

[tex] \theta_{1} = arctan(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}) [/tex]

where:

n₁ is the refractive index of the initial medium through which the light propagates (air) = 1

n₂ is the index of the material=?

θ₁ = 46.5°    

[tex] n_{2} = n_{1}tan(\theta_{1}) = tan(46.5) = 1.05 [/tex]

Hence, the material's index refraction is 1.05.

b) The angle of refraction can be found as follows:

[tex] n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theta_{2}) [/tex]

[tex]sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{sin(46.5)}{1.05} = 0.69[/tex]

[tex] \theta_{2} = arcsin(0.69) = 43.6^{\circ} [/tex]

Therefore, the angle of refraction is 43.6°.

A cart rolls 2 m to the right then rolls back 1 m to the left.
a. What is the total distance rolled by the cart?

Answers

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance covered by the cart to the right is 2 m

Distance covered by the cart to the left is 1 m

We need to find the total distance rolled by the cart. Total distance is equal to the sum of the distances covered by an object. It does depend on the direction.

Total distance = 2 m + 1 m

D = 3 m

The cart rolled to a total distance of 3 m.

A transformer consists of a 500-turn primary coil and a 2000-turn secondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0 A, what is the current in the primary

Answers

Answer:

12A

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the relationship between  the electromotive force (emf), current and number of turns of a coil in a transformer is expressed as shown:

[tex]\dfrac{V_s}{V_p} = \dfrac{N_s}{N_p} = \dfrac{I_p}{I_s}[/tex]  where;

Vs and Vp are the emf in the secondary and primary coil respectively

Ns and Np are the number if turns in the secondary and primary coil respectively

Ip and Is are the currents in the secondary and primary coil respectively

Since the are all equal to each other, then we can equate any teo of the expression as shown;

[tex]\dfrac{N_s}{N_p} = \dfrac{I_p}{I_s}[/tex]

Given parameters

Np = 500-turns

Ns = 2000-turns

Is = 3.0Amp

Required

Current in the primary coil (Ip)

Using the relationship [tex]\dfrac{N_s}{N_p} = \dfrac{I_p}{I_s}[/tex]

[tex]I_p = \dfrac{N_sI_s}{N_p}[/tex]

[tex]I_p = \dfrac{2000*3}{500} \\\\I_p = \frac{6000}{500}\\ \\I_p = 12A\\[/tex]

Hence the current in the primary coil is 12Amp

A wave travelling along the positive x-axis side with a
frequency of 8 Hz. Find its period, velocity and the distance covered
along this axis when its wavelength and amplitude are 40 and 15 cm
respectively.​

Answers

Explanation:

The frequency is given to be f = 8 Hz.

Period is the inverse of frequency.

T = 1/f = 0.125 s

Velocity is wavelength times frequency.

v = λf = (0.40 m) (8 Hz) = 3.2 m/s

The wave travels 3.2 meters every second.

Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeansat home and across the Atlanticdecided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery. Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage? Economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement. The growing demand for sugar made the lives of enslaved people even worse. Turning Africans into objects was important for the sugar industry to succeed.
