Answer:
a) 1.35 x 10^11 m
b) 0.53 µs
c) 8 ns
Explanation:
Radar involves the use of radio wave which has speed c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
a) for 900 s,
The distance for a round trip = v x t
==> (3 x 10^8) x 900 = 2.7 x 10^11 m
The distance of Venus is half this round trip distance = (2.7 x 10^11)/2 = 1.35 x 10^11 m
b) for a 80.0 m distance of the car from the radar source, the radar will travel a total distance of
d = 2 x 80 = 160 m
the time taken = d/c = 160/(3 x 10^8) = 5.3 x 10^-7 s = 0.53 µs
c) accuracy in distance Δd = 11.5 m
Δt = accuracy in time = Δd/c = 11.5/(3 x 10^8) = 3.8 x 10^-8 = 38 ns
what is defect of vision
Answer:
The vision becomes blurred due to the refractive defects of the eye. There are mainly three common refractive defects of vision. These are (i) myopia or near-sightedness, (ii) Hypermetropia or far – sightedness, and (iii) Presbyopia. These defects can be corrected by the use of suitable spherical lenses.
A plano-convex glass lens of radius of curvature 1.4 m rests on an optically flat glass plate. The arrangement is illuminated from above with monochromatic light of 520-nm wavelength. The indexes of refraction of the lens and plate are 1.6. Determine the radii of the first and second bright fringes in the reflected light.
Given that,
Radius of curvature = 1.4 m
Wavelength = 520 nm
Refraction indexes = 1.6
We know tha,
The condition for constructive interference as,
[tex]t=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]
Where, [tex]\lambda=wavelength[/tex]

[tex]r_{1}=\sqrt{2\times(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\times R}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]r_{1}=\sqrt{2\times(0+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{520\times10^{-9}}{2}\times1.4}[/tex]
[tex]r_{1}=0.603\ mm[/tex]
We need to calculate the radius of second bright fringes
Using formula of radius
[tex]r_{2}=\sqrt{2\times(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\times R}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]r_{1}=\sqrt{2\times(1+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{520\times10^{-9}}{2}\times1.4}[/tex]
[tex]r_{1}=1.04\ mm[/tex]
Hence, The radius of first bright fringe is 0.603 mm
The radius of second bright fringe is 1.04 mm.
Ellen says that whenever the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement of an object from its equilibrium position, the motion of the object is simple harmonic motion. Mary says this is true only if the acceleration is opposite in direction to the displacement. Which one, if either, is correct
Answer:
Both Ellen and Mary are correct.
Explanation:
Both are correct, it's just different ways of saying the same thing.
When the acceleration is always opposite in direction to the displacement, then, the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement of an object from its equilibrium position

A charge of uniform density (0.74 nC/m) is distributed along the x axis from the origin to the point x = 10 cm. What is the electric potential (relative to zero at infinity) at a point, x = 23 cm, on the x axis? Hint: Use Calculus to solve this problem.
Answer:
V = - 3.85 V
Explanation:
The electric potential of a continuous charge distribution is
V = k ∫ dq / r
to find charge differential let's use the concept of linear density
λ = dq / dx
dq = λ dx
the distance from a load element to the point of interest
x₀ = 23 cm = 0.23 m
r = √ (x-x₀)² = x - x₀
we substitute
v = k ∫ λ dx / (x-x₀)
we integrate and evaluate between x = 0 and x = l = 0.10 cm
V = k λ [ln (x-x₀) - ln (-x₀)]
V = k λ ln ((x-x₀) / x₀)
let's calculate
V = 9 10⁹ 0.74 10⁻⁹ ln ((0.23 - 0.10) / 0.23)
V = - 3.85 V

Can you come up with a mathematical relationship, based on your data that shows the relationship between distance from the charges and electric field strength?
Answer:
Explanation:
This question appears incomplete because of the absence of the data been talked about in the question. However, there is a general ruling here and it can be applied to the data at hand.
If an increase in the distance of charges (let's denote with "d") causes the electric field strength (let's denote with"E") to increase, then the mathematical representation can be illustrated as d ∝ E (meaning distance of charge is directly proportional to electric field strength).
But if an increase in the distance of the charges causes the electric field strength to decrease, then the mathematical representation can be illustrated as d ∝ 1/E (meaning distance of charge is inversely proportional to electric field strength).
A scatterplot can also be used to determine this. If there is a positive correlation (correlation value is greater than zero but less than or equal to 1) on the graph, then it is illustrated as "d ∝ E" BUT if there is a negative correlation (correlation value is less than zero but greater than or equal to -1), then it can be illustrated as "d ∝ 1/E".

Each proton-proton cycle generates 26.7 MeV of energy. If 9.9 Watts are generated via by the proton-proton cycle, how many billion neutrinos are produced
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 tank whose bottom is a mirror is filled with water to a depth of 19.6 cm. A small fish floats motionless a distance of 6.40 cm under the surface of the water.
A) What is the apparent depth of the fish when viewed at normal incidence?
B) What is the apparent depth of the image of the fish when viewed at normal incidence?
Answer:
A. 4.82 cm
B. 24.66 cm
Explanation:
The depth of water = 19.6 cm
Distance of fish = 6.40 cm
Index of refraction of water = 1.33
(A). Now use the below formula to compute the apparent depth.
[tex]d_{app} = \frac{n_{air}}{n_{water}} \times d_{real} \\= \frac{1}{1.33} \times 6.40 \\= 4.82 cm.[/tex]
(B). the depth of the fish in the mirror.
[tex]d_{real} = 19.6 cm + (19.6 cm – 6.40 cm) = 32.8 cm[/tex]
Now find the depth of reflection of the fish in the bottom of the tank.
[tex]d_{app} = \frac{n_{air}}{n_{water}} \times d_{real} \\d_{app} = \frac{1}{1.33} \times 32.8 = 24.66\\[/tex]
Charge of uniform density (0.30 nC/m2) is distributed over the xy plane, and charge of uniform density (−0.40 nC/m2) is distributed over the yz plane. What is the magnitude of the resulting electric field at any point not in either of the two charged planes?
Answer: E = 39.54 N/C
Explanation: Electric field can be determined using surface charge density:
[tex]E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_{0}}[/tex]
where:
σ is surface charge density
[tex]\epsilon_{0}[/tex] is permitivitty of free space ([tex]\epsilon_{0} = 8.85.10^{-12}[/tex][tex]C^{2}/N.m^{2}[/tex])
Calculating resulting electric field:
[tex]E=E_{1} - E_{2}[/tex]
[tex]E = \frac{\sigma_{1}-\sigma_{2}}{2\epsilon_{0}}[/tex]
[tex]E = \frac{[0.3-(-0.4)].10^{-9}}{2.8.85.10^{-12}}[/tex]
[tex]E=0.03954.10^{3}[/tex]
E = 39.54
The resulting Electric Field at any point is 39.54N/C.
The magnitude of the resulting electric field at any point should be 28.2 N/C.
Calculation of the magnitude:Since the Charge of uniform density (0.30 nC/m2) should be allocated over the xy plane, and charge of uniform density (−0.40 nC/m2)should be allocated over the yz plane.
So,
E1
= σ1/2ε0
= 0.30e-9/(2*8.85e-12)
= 16.949 N/C
So, direction of E1 is +z
Now
E2 = σ2/2ε0
= 0.40e-9/(2*8.85e-12)
= 22.6 N/C
So, direction of E2 is -x
Now
E = √(E1*E1+E2*E2)
= √(16.949*16.949+22.6*22.6)
= 28.2 N/C

a 2.0 kg block slides on the horizontal, frictionless surface until it counters a spring force constant with
Complete question:
a 2.0 kg block slides on the horizontal, frictionless surface until it counters a spring with force constant of 955 N/m. The block comes to rest after compressing the spring a distance of 4.6 cm. Find the initial speed (in m/s) of the block.
Answer:
The initial speed of the block is 1.422 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the block, m = 2.0 kg
force constant of the spring, K = 955 N/m
compression of the spring, x = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m
Apply Hook's law to determine applied force on the spring;
F = Kx
F = (955 N/m)(0.046 m)
F = 43.93 N
Apply Newton's 2nd law to determine the magnitude of deceleration of the block when it encounters the spring;
F = ma
a = F / m
a = 43.93 / 2
a = 21.965 m/s²
Apply kinematic equation to determine the initial speed of the block;
v² = u² + 2ax
where;
v is the final speed of the block = 0
u is the initial speed of the block
x is the distance traveled by the block = compression of the spring
a is the block deceleration = -21.965 m/s²
0 = u² + 2(-21.965 )(0.046)
0 = u² - 2.021
u² = 2.021
u = √2.021
u = 1.422 m/s
Therefore, the initial speed of the block is 1.422 m/s

Water has a specific heat capacity of 1.00 cal/g °C, and copper has a specific heat capacity of 0.092 cal/g °C. If both are heated to 100 °C, which takes longer to cool?
Answer:
The water takes longer, because it is the better insulator here.
Explanation:
Conductors and insulators work similarly in "reverse".
If something is a good heat conductor, then it's good at both absorbing heat energy and giving it away. Insulators are good at resisting temperature changes, but also take longer to cool down once they are heated up.
So because copper is the better conductor here, it will cool faster than the water at the same temperature.

Answer:
object distance p = 13.33 cm
Explanation:
For this problem of finding the image of an object we must use the constructor equation
1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q
where f is the focal length, p and q are the distances to the object and the image, respectively.
In this case they indicate the focal length f = 10 cm, since the person has hyperopia, the image must be formed q = 40 cm, let's find where the object is (p)
1 / p = 1 / f - 1 / q
1 / p = 1/10 - 1/40
1 / p = 0.075

Three ideal polarizing filters are stacked, with the polarizing axis of the second and third filters at 29.0and 58.0, respectively, to that of the first. If unpolarized light is incident on the stack, the light has intensity 110 after it passes through the stack.
If the incident intensity is kept constant, what is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the stack if the second polarizer is removed?
Answer:
I₂ = 143.79
Explanation:
To solve this problem, work them in two parts. A first one where we look for the intensity of the incident light in the set and a second one where we silence the light transmuted by the other set,
Let's start with the set of three curling irons
Beautiful light falls on the first polarized is not polarized, therefore only half the radiation passes
I₁ = I₀ / 2
this light reaches the second polarized and must comply with the Mule law
I₂ = I₁ cos² tea
The angle between the first polarized and the second is Tea = 29.0º
I₂ = I / 2 cos² 29
The light that comes out of the third polarized is
I₃ = I₂ cos² tea
the angle between the third - second polarizer is
tea = 58-29
tea = 29th
I3 = (I₀ / 2 cos² 29) cos² 29
indicate the output intensity
I3 = 110
we clear
I₀ = 2I3 / cos4 29
I₀ = 2 110 / cos4 29
I₀ = 375.96 W / cm²
Now we have the incident intensity in the new set of three polarizers
back to the for the first polarizer
I₁ = I₀ / 2
when passing the second polarizer
I₂ = I1 cos² 29
I2 = IO /2 cos²29
let's calculate
I₂ = 375.96 / 2 cos² 29
I₂ = 143.79
A point source emits sound waves with a power output of 100 watts. What is the sound level (in dB) at a distance of 10 m
Answer:

Explanation:
Given
Power, P = 100 W
Distance, d = 10 m
Required
Determine the Sound Level
First, the sound intensity as to be calculated; This is done, as follows;
[tex]I = \frac{P}{4\pi d^2}[/tex]
Substitute for P, d and take π as 3.14
[tex]I = \frac{100}{4 * 3.14 * 10^2}[/tex]
[tex]I = \frac{100}{4 * 3.14 * 100}[/tex]
[tex]I = \frac{100}{1256}[/tex]
[tex]I = 0.0796Wm^{-2}[/tex] --- Approximated
Next is to calculate the Sound Level, as follows
[tex]L = 10 * Log(\frac{I}{I_o})[/tex]
Where [tex]I_o = 10^{-12} Wm^{-2}[/tex]
Substitute for I and Io
[tex]L = 10 * Log(\frac{0.0796}{10^{-12}})[/tex]
[tex]L = 10 * Log(0.0796*10^{12)[/tex]
[tex]L = 10 * Log(0.0796*10^{12)[/tex]
[tex]L = 10 * 10.901[/tex]
[tex]L = 109.01 db[/tex]
Hence, the sound level is 109.01 decibels
Two protons moving with same speed in same direction repel each other but what about two protons moving with different speed in the same direction?
Answer:In the case of two proton beams the protons repel one another because they have the same sign of electrical charge. There is also an attractive magnetic force between the protons, but in the proton frame of reference this force must be zero! Clearly then the attractive magnetic force that reduces the net force between protons in the two beams as seen in our frame of reference is relativistic. In particular the apparent magnetic forces or fields are relativistic modifications of the electrical forces or fields. As such modifications, they cannot be stronger than the electrical forces and fields that produce them. This follows from the fact that switching frames of reference can reduce forces, but it can’t turn what is attractive in one frame into a repulsive force in another frame.
In the case of wires the net charges in two wires are zero everywhere along the wires. That makes the net electrical forces between the wires very nearly zero. Yet the relativistic magnetic forces and fields will be of the same sort as in the case of two beams of charges of a single sign. This is true even in the frame of reference of what we think as the moving charges, that is, the electrons. In the frame of reference moving at the drift velocity of these current-carrying electrons, it is the protons or positively charged ions that are moving in the other direction. Consequently in any frame of reference for current-carrying wires in parallel, the net electrical force will be essentially zero, and there will be a net attractive magnetic force
Explanation:
Explanation:
Particles with similar charges (both positive or both negative) will always repel each other, regardless of their speed or direction.

a. Assuming that the friction force actingon the crate is constant, find its magnitude.
b. How fast is teh crate moving when it reachesthe bottom of the ramp?
Answer:
a) The magnitude of the friction force is 55.851 newtons, b) The speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp is 2.526 meters per second.
Explanation:
a) This situation can be modelled by the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem, where friction represents the only non-conservative force exerting on the crate in motion. Let consider the bottom of the straight ramp as the zero point. The energy equation for the crate is:
[tex]U_{g,1}+K_{1} = U_{g,2}+K_{2}+ W_{fr}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]U_{g,1}[/tex], [tex]U_{g,2}[/tex] - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.
[tex]K_{1}[/tex], [tex]K_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.
[tex]W_{fr}[/tex] - Work losses due to friction, measured in joules.
By applying the defintions of translational kinetic and gravitational potential energies and work, this expression is now expanded:
[tex]m\cdot g \cdot y_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot y_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{2}^{2} + \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g \cdot \cos \theta[/tex]
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the crate, measured in kilograms.
[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.
[tex]y_{1}[/tex], [tex]y_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final height of the crate, measured in meters.
[tex]v_{1}[/tex], [tex]v_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final speeds of the crate, measured in meters per second.
[tex]\mu_{k}[/tex] - Kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.
[tex]\theta[/tex] - Ramp inclination, measured in sexagesimal degrees.
The equation is now simplified and the coefficient of friction is consequently cleared:
[tex]y_{1}-y_{2}+\frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2}) = \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta[/tex]
[tex]\mu_{k} = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \cdot \left[y_{1}-y_{2}+\frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2}) \right][/tex]
The final height of the crate is:
[tex]y_{2} = (1.6\,m)\cdot \sin 30^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]y_{2} = 0.8\,m[/tex]
If [tex]\theta = 30^{\circ}[/tex], [tex]y_{1} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]y_{2} = 0.8\,m[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]v_{1} = 5\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]v_{2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], the coefficient of friction is:
[tex]\mu_{k} = \frac{1}{\cos 30^{\circ}}\cdot \left\{0\,m-0.8\,m+\frac{1}{2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}\cdot \left[\left(5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right] \right\}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_{k} \approx 0.548[/tex]
Then, the magnitude of the friction force is:
[tex]f =\mu_{k}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta[/tex]
If [tex]\mu_{k} \approx 0.548[/tex], [tex]m = 12\,kg[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]\theta = 30^{\circ}[/tex], the magnitude of the force of friction is:
[tex]f = (0.548)\cdot (12\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot \cos 30^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]f = 55.851\,N[/tex]
The magnitude of the force of friction is 55.851 newtons.
b) The energy equation of the situation is:
[tex]m\cdot g \cdot y_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot y_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{2}^{2} + \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g \cdot \cos \theta[/tex]
[tex]y_{1}+\frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot v_{1}^{2} =y_{2} + \frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot v_{2}^{2} + \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta[/tex]
Now, the final speed is cleared:
[tex]y_{1}-y_{2}+ \frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot v_{1}^{2} -\mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta= \frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot v_{2}^{2}[/tex]
[tex]2\cdot g \cdot (y_{1}-y_{2}-\mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta) + v_{1}^{2} = v_{2}^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v_{2} = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot (y_{1}-y_{2}-\mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)+v_{1}^{2}}[/tex]
Given that [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]y_{1} = 0.8\,m[/tex], [tex]y_{2} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]\mu_{k} \approx 0.548[/tex], [tex]\theta = 30^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]v_{1} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], the speed of the crate at the bottom of the ramp is:
[tex]v_{2}=\sqrt{2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot [0.8\,m-0\,m-(0.548)\cdot \cos 30^{\circ}]+\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]v_{2}\approx 2.526\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
The speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp is 2.526 meters per second.
Two beams of coherent light start out at the same point in phase and travel different paths to arrive at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P, the two beams must travel paths that differ by:_____
a. a whole number of half-wavelengths.
b. a whole number of wavelengths.
c. an odd number of half-wavelengths.
Answer:
(B) a whole number of wavelengths.
Explanation:
Two beams of coherent light start out at the same point in phase and travel different paths to arrive at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P, the two beams must travel paths that differ by a whole number of wavelengths.
When the resultant effect of the combination of two identical waves result in their annihilation or complete cancellation of the effect of each other, destructive interference takes place. Hence to have two wave sources producing waves that have the same frequency wavelength and amplitude and which are always in phase with each other or have a constant phase difference are said to be Coherent source
An unstable particle at rest spontaneously breaks into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the first fragment is 3.00 10-28 kg, and that of the other is 1.86 10-27 kg. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.844c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment
Answer: Speed = [tex]3.10^{-31}[/tex] m/s
Explanation: Like in classical physics, when external net force is zero, relativistic momentum is conserved, i.e.:
[tex]p_{f} = p_{i}[/tex]
Relativistic momentum is calculated as:
p = [tex]\frac{mu}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
where:
m is rest mass
u is velocity relative to an observer
c is light speed, which is constant (c=[tex]3.10^{8}[/tex]m/s)
Initial momentum is zero, then:
[tex]p_{f}[/tex] = 0
[tex]p_{1}-p_{2}[/tex] = 0
[tex]p_{1} = p_{2}[/tex]
To find speed of the heavier fragment:
[tex]\frac{mu_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{c^{2}} } }=\frac{mu_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.86.10^{-27}u_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }=\frac{3.10^{-28}.0.844.3.10^{8}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.844c)^{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.86.10^{-27}u_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }=1.42.10^{-19}[/tex]
[tex]1.86.10^{-27}u_{1} = 1.42.10^{-19}.{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex](1.86.10^{-27}u_{1})^{2} = (1.42.10^{-19}.{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } })^{2}[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38}.(1-\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{9.10^{16}} )[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38} -[2.02.10^{-38}(\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{9.10^{16}} )][/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38} -2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1}[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2}+2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1} = 2.02.10^{-38}[/tex]
[tex]2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1} = 2.02.10^{-38}[/tex]
[tex]u^{2}_{1} = \frac{2.02.10^{-38}}{2.24.10^{-23}}[/tex]
[tex]u_{1} = \sqrt{9.02.10^{-62}}[/tex]
[tex]u_{1} = 3.10^{-31}[/tex]
The speed of the heavier fragment is [tex]u_{1} = 3.10^{-31}[/tex]m/s.
A 0.2-stone is attached to a string and swung in a circle of radius 0.6 m on a horizontal and frictionless surface. If the stone makes 150 revolutions per minute, the tension force of the string on the stone is:
Answer:
2960 N
Explanation:
Convert rev/min to rad/s:
150 rev/min × (2π rad/rev) × (1 min / 60 s) = 50π rad/s
Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:
∑F = ma
T = m v² / r
T = m ω² r
T = (0.2 kg) (50π rad/s)² (0.6 m)
T = 2960 N
