Answer:
Hey there!
This can be a confusing topic, so it's totally fine if you get confused...
First, Seismic Attenuation is how seismic waves lose energy as they expand and spread.
Secondly, when distance increases, amplitude decreases. This is because the distance (spherical spreading would mean radius) is inversely proportional to amplitude.
Let me know if this helps :)
3. What color of laser light shines through a diffraction grating with a line density of 500 lines/mm if the third maxima from the central maxima (m=3) is at an angle of 45°?
Answer:
Wavelength is 471 nm
Explanation:
Given that,
Lines per unit length of diffraction grating is 500 lines/mm.
The third maxima from the central maxima (m=3) is at an angle of 45°
We need to find the color of laser light shines through a diffraction grating.
The condition for maxima is :
[tex]d\sin\theta=m\lambda[/tex]
d = 1/N, N = number of lines per mm
[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{1}{Nm}\sin\theta\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{10^{-3}}{500\times 3}\sin(45)\\\\\lambda=4.31\times 10^{-7}\\\\\text{or}\\\\\lambda=471\ nm[/tex]
A rectangular coil lies flat on a horizontal surface. A bar magnet is held above the center of the coil with its north pole pointing down. What is the direction of the induced current in the coil?
Answer:
There is no induced current on the coil.
Explanation:
Current is induced in a coil or a circuit, when there is a break of flux linkage. A break in flux linkage is caused by a changing magnetic field, and must be achieved by a relative motion between the coil and the magnet. Holding the magnet above the center of the coil will cause no changing magnetic filed since there is no relative motion between the coil and the magnet.
A small glass bead charged to 5.0 nC is in the plane that bisects a thin, uniformly charged, 10-cm-long glass rod and is 4.0 cm from the rod's center. The bead is repelled from the rod with a force of 910 N. What is the total charge on the rod?
Answer:
Explanation:
Let B= bead
Q = rod
the electric field at the glass bead pocation is
(Gauss theorem)
E = Q / (2 π d L εo)
the force is
F = q E = q Q / (2 π d L εo)
then
Q = 2 π d L εo F / q
Q = 2*3.14*4x10^-2*10^-1*8.85x10^-12*910x10^-4 / 5x10^-9 = 2.87x10^-8 C = 40.5 nC
Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.047 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.60 m away are 8.9 cm apart near the center of the pattern.
Determine the wavelength and frequency of the light.
Answer::
[tex]\lambda = 634 nm[/tex]
[tex]f = 4.73 *10^{14} \ Hz[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of separation is [tex]d = 0.047 \ mm = 0.047 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the screen is [tex]D = 6.60 \ m[/tex]
The width of the fringe is [tex]y = 8.9 \ cm = 0.089 \ m[/tex]
Generally the width of the width of the fringes is mathematically represented as
[tex]y = \frac{\lambda * D }{d }[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = \frac{y * d }{D }[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = \frac{ 0.089 * (0.047 *10^{-3}) }{6.60 }[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = 634 *10^{-9}[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = 634 nm[/tex]
Generally the speed of light is mathematically represented as
[tex]c = f * \lambda[/tex]
=> [tex]f= \frac{ c}{\lambda }[/tex]
=> [tex]f= \frac{ 3.0 *10^{8}}{634 *10^{-9}}[/tex]
=> [tex]f = 4.73 *10^{14} \ Hz[/tex]
Describe and name the different types of collision. In which are the linear momentum and kinetic energy conserved
Answer:
1. Elastic collision
2. Inelastic collision
Explanation:
Elastic collision: collision is said to be elastic if total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision
the collision is described by the equation bellow
[tex]m1U1+ m2U2= m1V1+m2V2[/tex]
Inelastic collision: this type of collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of a body is conserved or when the bodies sticks together and move with a common velocity
the collision is described by the equation bellow
[tex]m1U1+ m2U2= V(m1+m2)[/tex]
A resistance heater having 20.7 kW power is used to heat a room having 16 m X 16.5 m X 12.3 m size from 13.5 to 21 oC at sea level. The room is sealed once the heater is turned on. Calculate the amount of time needed for this heating to occur in min. (Write your answer in 3 significant digits. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature.)
Answer:
t = 23.6 min
Explanation:
First we need to find the mass of air in the room:
m = ρV
where,
m = mass of air in the room = ?
ρ = density of air at room temperature = 1.2041 kg/m³
V = Volume of room = 16 m x 16.5 m x 12.3 m = 3247.2 m³
Therefore,
m = (1.2041 kg/m³)(3247.2 m³)
m = 3909.95 kg
Now, we find the amount of energy consumed to heat the room:
E = m C ΔT
where,
E = Energy consumed = ?
C = Specific Heat of air at room temperature = 1 KJ/kg.⁰C
ΔT = Change in temperature = 21 °C - 13.5 °C = 7.5 °C
Therefore,
E = (3909.95 kg)(1 KJ/kg.°C)(7.5 °C)
E = 29324.62 KJ
Now, the time period can be calculated as:
P = E/t
t = E/P
where,
t = Time needed = ?
P = Power of heater = 20.7 KW
Therefore,
t = 29324.62 KJ/20.7 KW
t = (1416.65 s)(1 min/60 s)
t = 23.6 min

Answer:
1. Transformer 3> Transformer 1 and 2 > Transformer 4
2. Transformer 2,3,5 > Transformer 1 > Transformer 4
Explanation:
From;
Vs/Vp = Ns/Np
Where;
Vp= voltage in primary coil
Vs= voltage in secondary coil
Ns= number of turns in secondary coil
Np= number of turns in primary coil.
Vs= Ns×Vp/Np
Vs= 480 ×2000/4000
Vs= 240 V
Vs= 480 ×1000/2000
Vs=240 V
Vs= 120 × 2000/500
Vs= 480 V
Vs= 240 × 500/1000
Vs= 120 V
2. Ns/Np= Ip/Is
Is= Np×Ip/Ns
Is= 1000 × 100/2000
Is= 50 A
Is= 2000 × 100/1000
Is= 200 A
Is= 1000 × 100/500
Is= 200 A
Is= 500 × 100/2000
Is= 25 A
Is= 4000 × 100/2000
Is= 200 A
A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is propagating in a vacuum in the +z-direction. If at a particular instant and at a certain point in space the electric field is in the +x-direction and has a magnitude of 4.00 V/m, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field of the wave at this same point in space and instant in time?
Answer:
B = 1.33 10⁻⁸ T , the magnetic field must be in the y + direction
Explanation:
In an electromagnetic wave the electric and magnetic fields are in phase
c = E / B
B = E / c
let's calculate
B = 4.00 / 3 10⁸
B = 1.33 10⁻⁸ T
To determine the direction we use that the electric and magnetic fields and the speed of the wave are perpendicular.
If the wave advances in the + Z direction and the electric field is in the + x direction, the magnetic field must be in the y + direction

A student wants to create a 6.0V DC battery from a 1.5V DC battery. Can this be done using a transformer alone
Answer:
Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.
Explanation:
A transformer, alone, can not be used to convert a DC voltage to another DC voltage. If we apply a DC voltage to the primary coil of the transformer, it will act as short circuit due to low resistance. It will cause overflow of current through winding, resulting in overheating pf the transformer.
Hence, the transformer only take AC voltage as an input, and converts it to another AC voltage. So, the output voltage of a transformer is also AC voltage.
So, in order to convert a 6 V DC to 1.5 V DC we need an inverter to convert 6 V DC to AC, then a step down transformer to convert it to 1.5 V AC, and finally a rectifier to convert 1.5 V AC to 1.5 V DC.
Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.
y=k/x, x is halved.
what happens to the value of y
Answer:
y is doubled
Explanation:
If x is halved, that means the value is doubled. Here is an exmaple:
y=1/2. If the denominater is doubled, y would equal y=1/1. So, the value of y has doubled from 0.5 to 1. Therefore, if the denominator is halved, the solution will be doubled.
It is just as difficult to accelerate a car on a level horizontal surface on the Moon as it is here on Earth because
Answer:
Mass of the car is independent of gravity
Explanation:
Here, we want to state the reason why even though we have the acceleration due to gravity absent on the moon, it is still difficult to accelerate a car on a level horizontal level on the moon.
The answer to this is that the mass of the car that we want to accelerate is independent of gravity.
Had it been that gravity has an effect on the mass of the said car, then we might conclude that it will not be difficult to accelerate the car on a horizontal surface on the moon.
But due to the fact that gravity has no effect on the mass of the car to be accelerated, then the problem we have on earth with accelerating the car is the same problem we will have on the moon if we try to accelerate the car on a horizontal level surface.

Astronomers discover an exoplanet (a planet of a star other than the Sun) that has an orbital period of 3.75
Earth years in its circular orbit around its sun, which is a star with a measured mass of 3.23×1030kg
. Find the radius of the exoplanet's orbit.
Answer:
[tex]r=4.24\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Orbital time period, T = 3.75 earth years
Mass of star, [tex]m=3.23\times 10^{30}\ kg[/tex]
We need to find the radius of the exoplanet's orbit. It is a concept of Kepler's third law of motion i.e.
[tex]T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3[/tex]
r is the radius of the exoplanet's orbit.
Solving for r we get :
[tex]r=(\dfrac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2})^{1/3}[/tex]
We know that, [tex]1\ \text{earth year}=3.154\times 10^7\ \text{s}[/tex]
So,
[tex]r=(\dfrac{(3.75\times 3.154\times 10^7)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 3.23\times 10^{30}}{4\pi^2})^{1/3}\\\\r=4.24\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]
So, the radius of the exoplanet's orbit is [tex]4.24\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex].

To clearly see an image, the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged. What frequency is needed to image a fetus at 8 weeks of gestation that is 1.6 cm long?
A. 380 kHz
B. 3.8 kHz
C. 85 kHz
D. 3.8 MHz
Answer:
380 kHz
Explanation:
The speed of sound is taken as 1500 m/s
The length of the fetus is 1.6 cm long
The condition is that the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged.
For this 1.6 cm baby, the wavelength must not exceed
λ = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of 1.6 cm = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x 1.6 cm = 0.4 cm =
0.4 cm = 0.004 m this is the wavelength of the required ultrasonic sound.
we know that
v = λf
where v is the speed of a wave
λ is the wavelength of the wave
f is the frequency of the wave
f = v/λ
substituting values, we have
f = 1500/0.004 = 375000 Hz
==> 375000/1000 = 375 kHz ≅ 380 kHz

Did the kinetic frictional coefficient (for the wood/aluminum and felt/aluminum cases) vary with area of contact
Answer:
Explanation:
Friction is defined as a force which acts at the surface of separation between two objects in contact and tends to oppose motion of one over the other.
While kinetic friction is the force that must be overcome so that a body can move with uniform speed over another.
Hence let consider one of the laws of friction which states that: '' Frictional force is independent of the area of the surfaces in contact.''
The value did not vary with area. This is because when calculating the kinetic fiction, the total contact area is not relevant and only the total weight of the system as well of as the block is put into consideration.
P-weight blocks D and E are connected by the rope which passes through pulley B and are supported by the isorectangular prism articulated to the ground at its vertex A, while vertex C is attached to the vertical cord fixed to the ground. If the coefficient of friction between the prism and the blocks is 0.4; determine the maximum angle that measures the inclination of the AC face with respect to the horizontal so that the system remains in equilibrium.
Answer:
21.8°
Explanation:
Let's call θ the angle between BC and the horizontal.
Draw a free body diagram for each block.
There are 4 forces acting on block D:
Weight force P pulling down,
Normal force N₁ pushing perpendicular to AB,
Friction force N₁μ pushing parallel up AB,
and tension force T pushing parallel up AB.
There are 4 forces acting on block E:
Weight force P pulling down,
Normal force N₂ pushing perpendicular to BC,
Friction force N₂μ pushing parallel to BC,
and tension force T pulling parallel to BC.
Sum of forces on D in the perpendicular direction:
∑F = ma
N₁ − P sin θ = 0
N₁ = P sin θ
Sum of forces on D in the parallel direction:
∑F = ma
T + N₁μ − P cos θ = 0
T = P cos θ − N₁μ
T = P cos θ − P sin θ μ
T = P (cos θ − sin θ μ)
Sum of forces on E in the perpendicular direction:
∑F = ma
N₂ − P cos θ = 0
N₂ = P cos θ
Sum of forces on E in the parallel direction:
∑F = ma
N₂μ + P sin θ − T = 0
T = N₂μ + P sin θ
T = P cos θ μ + P sin θ
T = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)
Set equal:
P (cos θ − sin θ μ) = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)
cos θ − sin θ μ = cos θ μ + sin θ
1 − tan θ μ = μ + tan θ
1 − μ = tan θ μ + tan θ
1 − μ = tan θ (μ + 1)
tan θ = (1 − μ) / (1 + μ)
Plug in values:
tan θ = (1 − 0.4) / (1 + 0.4)
θ = 23.2°
∠BCA = 45°, so the angle of AC relative to the horizontal is 45° − 23.2° = 21.8°.

To get an idea of the order of magnitude of inductance, calculate the self-inductance in henries for a solenoid with 1500 loops of wire wound on a rod 13 cm long with radius 2 cm
Answer:
The self-inductance in henries for the solenoid is 0.0274 H.
Explanation:
Given;
number of turns, N = 1500 turns
length of the solenoid, L = 13 cm = 0.13 m
radius of the wire, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m
The self-inductance in henries for a solenoid is given by;
[tex]L = \frac{\mu_oN^2A}{l}[/tex]
where;
[tex]\mu_o[/tex] is permeability of free space = [tex]4\pi*10^{-7} \ H/m[/tex]
A is the area of the solenoid = πr² = π(0.02)² = 0.00126 m²
[tex]L = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}(1500)^2*(0.00126)}{0.13} \\\\L = 0.0274 \ H[/tex]
Therefore, the self-inductance in henries for the solenoid is 0.0274 H.
What is the maximum wavelength of incident light for which photoelectrons will be released from gallium
Answer:
292 nm
Explanation:
The work function of gallium ∅ = 94.25 eV = 6.81 x 10^-19 J
at maximum wavelength, the energy of the photons is equal to its work function
Energy of the electron = hf
but hf = hc/λ
where h is the planck's constant = 6.63 × 10-34 m^2 kg/s
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
λ is the wavelength that this occurs, which is the maximum wavelength
Equating, we have
hc/λ = ∅
substituting, we have
(6.63 × 10-34 x 3 x 10^8)/λ = 6.81 x 10^-19
(1.989 x 10^-25)/(6.81 x 10^-19) = λ
λ = 292.07 x 10^-9 = 292 nm
A mass M slides downward along a rough plane surface inclined at angle \Theta\:Θ= 32.51 in degrees relative to the horizontal. Initially the mass has a speed V_0\:V 0 = 6.03 m/s, before it slides a distance L = 1.0 m down the incline. During this sliding, the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by friction is equal to the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by the gravitational force. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the incline?
Answer: μ = 0.8885
Explanation: Force due to friction is calculated as: [tex]F_{f} = \mu.N[/tex]
At an inclined plane, normal force (N) is: N = mgcosθ, in which θ=32.51.
Power associated with work done by friction is [tex]P=F_{f}.x[/tex]. The variable x is displacement the object "spent its energy".
Power associated with work done by gravitational force is P = mghcosθ, where h is height.
The decline forms with horizontal plane a triangle as draw in the picture.
To determine force due to friction:
[tex]F_{f}.x=mghcos(\theta)[/tex]
[tex]F_{f}=\frac{mghcos(\theta)}{x}[/tex]
Replacing force:
[tex]\frac{m.g.h.cos(\theta)}{x} = \mu.m.g.cos(\theta)[/tex]
[tex]\mu=\frac{h}{x}[/tex]
Calculating h using trigonometric relations:
[tex]sin(32.51) = \frac{h}{1}[/tex]
h = sin(32.51)
Coefficient of Kinetic friction is
[tex]\mu=\frac{sin(32.51)}{1}[/tex]
μ = 0.8885
For these conditions, coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.8885.
A sharp edged orifice with a 60 mm diameter opening in the vertical side of a large tank discharges under a head of 6 m. If the coefficient of contraction is 0.68 and the coefficient of velocity is 0.92, what is the discharge?
Answer:
The discharge rate is [tex]Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The diameter is [tex]d = 60 \ mm = 0.06 \ m[/tex]
The head is [tex]h = 6 \ m[/tex]
The coefficient of contraction is [tex]Cc = 0.68[/tex]
The coefficient of velocity is [tex]Cv = 0.92[/tex]
The radius is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]r = \frac{d}{2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]r = \frac{ 0.06 }{2}[/tex]
[tex]r = 0.03 \ m[/tex]
The area is mathematically represented as
[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]A = 3.142 * (0.03)^2[/tex]
[tex]A = 0.00283 \ m^2[/tex]
The discharge rate is mathematically represented as
[tex]Q = Cv *Cc * A * \sqrt{ 2 * g * h}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]Q = 0.68 * 0.92* 0.00283 * \sqrt{ 2 * 9.8 * 6}[/tex]
[tex]Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s[/tex]

Mention the importance of writing the physical quantities as vectors.
Answer:
Knowledge of vectors is important because many quantities used in physics are vectors. If you try to add together vector quantities without taking into account their direction you'll get results that are incorrect.
Explanation:
An example of the importance of vector addition could be the following:
Two cars are involved in a collision. At the time of the collision car A was travelling at 40 mph, car B was travelling at 60 mph. Until I tell you in which directions the cars were travelling you don't know how serious the collision was.
The cars could have been travelling in the same direction, in which case car B crashed into the back of car A, and the relative velocity between them was 20 mph. Or the cars could have been travelling in opposite directions, in which case it was a head on collision with a relative velocity between the cars of 100 mph!

The electric field 2.8 cm from a small object points toward the object with a strength of 180,000 N/C. What is the object's charge?
Answer:
2.1×10¹⁸ C
Explanation:
Using,
E = kq/r²...................... Equation 1
Where E = Electric field, q = charge, r = distance, k = coulombs constant.
make q the subject of the equation
q = Er²/k.................. Equation 2
Given: E = 180000 N/C, r = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m
Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C².
Substitute these values into equation 2
q = 180000(9×10⁹)/0.028²
q = 2.1×10¹⁸ C
Hence the object charge is 2.1×10¹⁸ C
g A projectile is fired from the ground at an angle of θ = π 4 toward a tower located 600 m away. If the projectile has an initial speed of 120 m/s, find the height at which it strikes the tower
Answer:
The projectile strikes the tower at a height of 354.824 meters.
Explanation:
The projectile experiments a parabolic motion, which consist of a horizontal motion at constant speed and a vertical uniformly accelerated motion due to gravity. The equations of motion are, respectively:
Horizontal motion
[tex]x = x_{o}+v_{o}\cdot t \cdot \cos \theta[/tex]
Vertical motion
[tex]y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t \cdot \sin \theta +\frac{1}{2} \cdot g \cdot t^{2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]x_{o}[/tex], [tex]x[/tex] - Initial and current horizontal position, measured in meters.
[tex]y_{o}[/tex], [tex]y[/tex] - Initial and current vertical position, measured in meters.
[tex]v_{o}[/tex] - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.
[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.
The time spent for the projectile to strike the tower is obtained from first equation:
[tex]t = \frac{x-x_{o}}{v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta}[/tex]
If [tex]x = 600\,m[/tex], [tex]x_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]v_{o} = 120\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}[/tex], then:
[tex]t = \frac{600\,m-0\,m}{\left(120\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{4} }[/tex]
[tex]t \approx 7.071\,s[/tex]
Now, the height at which the projectile strikes the tower is: ([tex]y_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], [tex]t \approx 7.071\,s[/tex], [tex]v_{o} = 120\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex])
[tex]y = 0\,m + \left(120\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (7.071\,s)\cdot \sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (7.071\,s)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]y \approx 354.824\,m[/tex]
The projectile strikes the tower at a height of 354.824 meters.
