Complete question is;
The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 6.50 m apart. As you sit in the chair, your head is 3.00 m from the nearer mirror. Looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (The mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) How far away does the back of your head appear to be?
Answer:
13 m
Explanation:
We are given;
Distance between two nearly parallel mirrors; d = 6.5 m
Distance between the face and the nearer mirror; x = 3 m
Thus, the distance between the back-head and the mirror = 6.5 - 3 = 3.5m
Now, From the given values above and using the law of reflection, we can find the distance of the first reflection of the back of the head of the person in the rear mirror.
Thus;
Distance of the first reflection of the back of the head in the rear mirror from the object head is;
y' = 2y
y' = 2 × 3.5
y' = 7
The total distance of this image from the front mirror would be calculated as;
z = y' + x
z = 7 + 3
z = 10
Finally, the second reflection of this image will be 10 meters inside in the front mirror.
Thus, the total distance of the image of the back of the head in the front mirror from the person will be:
T.D = x + z
T.D = 3 + 10
T.D = 13m
A load of 1 kW takes a current of 5 A from a 230 V supply. Calculate the power factor.
Answer:
Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Load = 1 Kw = 1000 watt
Current (I) = 5 A
Supply (V) = 230 V
Find:
Power factor.
Computation:
Power factor = watts / (V)(I)
Power factor = 1,000 / (230)(5)
Power factor = 1,000 / (1,150)
Power factor = 0.8695
Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)
If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 5.5 × 10^-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radiation must have a wavelength of about the size of the atom itself.
Required:
a. What is its frequency?
b. What type of electromagnetic radiation might this be?
Answer:
a) 5.5×10^17 Hz
b) visible light
Explanation:
Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;
λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m
Since;
c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1
f= c/λ
f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10
f= 5.5×10^17 Hz
The electromagnetic wave is visible light
Water pressurized to 3.5 x 105 Pa is flowing at 5.0 m/s in a horizontal pipe which contracts to 1/2 its former radius. a. What are the pressure and velocity of the water after the contraction
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the Continuity equation
v X A = v' xA'
so if A is 1/2of A' then A velocity must be 2 times the A'
after-contraction v = 2 x 5.0m/s = 10m/s
Using the Bernoulli equation
p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂
, the "h" terms cancel
3.5 x 10^ 5Pa + ½ x 1000kg/m³x (5.0m/s)² = p₂ + ½ x 1000kg/m³ x (10m/s)²
p₂ = 342500pa
With the same block-spring system from above, imagine doubling the displacement of the block to start the motion. By what factor would the following change?
A. Kinetic energy when passing through the equilibrium position.
B. Speed when passing through the equilibrium position.
Answer:
A) K / K₀ = 4 b) v / v₀ = 4
Explanation:
A) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy
in the problem it indicates that the displacement was doubled (x = 2xo)
starting point. At the position of maximum displacement
Em₀ = Ke = ½ k (2x₀)²
final point. In the equilibrium position
[tex]Em_{f}[/tex] = K = ½ m v²
Em₀ = Em_{f}
½ k 4 x₀² = K
(½ K x₀²) = K₀
K = 4 K₀
K / K₀ = 4
B) the speed value
½ k 4 x₀² = ½ m v²
v = 4 (k / m) x₀
if we call
v₀ = k / m x₀
v = 4 v₀
v / v₀ = 4
A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several times. A 5.0 μg dust particle is suspended in midair just above the center of the carpet.
Required:
What is the charge on the dust particle?
Answer:
The charge on the dust particle is [tex]q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length is [tex]l = 2.0 \ m[/tex]
The width is [tex]w = 4.0 \ m[/tex]
The charge is [tex]q = -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C[/tex]
The mass suspended in mid-air is [tex]m_a = 5.0 \mu g = 5.0 *10^{-6} \ g = 5.0 *10^{-9} \ kg[/tex]
Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = \frac{q}{ 2 * A * \epsilon _o}[/tex]
Where [tex]\epsilon _o[/tex] is the permittivity of free space with value [tex]\epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12} \ \ m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot s^4 \cdot A^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 * (2 * 4 ) * 8.85*10^{-12}}[/tex]
[tex]E = -70621.5 \ N/C[/tex]
Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles
[tex]F__{E}} = F__{G}}[/tex]
=> [tex]q_d * E = m * g[/tex]
=> [tex]q_d = \frac{m * g}{E}[/tex]
=> [tex]q_d = \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}[/tex]
=> [tex]q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C[/tex]
If mirror M2 in a Michelson interferometer is moved through 0.233 mm, a shift of 792 bright fringes occurs. What is the wavelength of the light producing the fringe pattern?
Answer:
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 589 nm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of the mirror shift is [tex]k = 0.233 \ mm = 0.233*10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The number of fringe shift is n = 792
Generally the wavelength producing this fringes is mathematically represented as
[tex]\lambda = \frac{ 2 * k }{ n }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\lambda = \frac{ 2 * 0.233*10^{-3} }{ 792 }[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 5.885 *10^{-7} \ m[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 589 nm[/tex]

If the
refractive index of benzere is 2.419,
what is the speed of light in benzene?
Answer:
[tex]v=1.24\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The refractive index of benzene is 2.419
We need to find the speed of light in benzene. The ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium equals the refractive index. So,
[tex]n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\v=\dfrac{c}{n}\\\\v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.419}\\\\v=1.24\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]
So, the speed of light in bezene is [tex]1.24\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex].

A 70 kg man floats in freshwater with 3.2% of his volume above water when his lungs are empty, and 4.85% of his volume above water when his lungs are full.
Required:
a. Calculate the volume of air he inhales - called his lung capacity - in liters.
b. Does this lung volume seem reasonable?
Answer:
Explanation:
A) Vair = 1.3 L
B) Volume is not reasonable
Explanation:
A)
Assume
m to be total mass of the man
mp be the mass of the man that pulled out of the water
m1 be the mass above the water with the empty lung
m2 be the mass above the water with full lung
wp be the weight that the buoyant force opposes as a result of the air.
Va be the volume of air inside man's lungs
Fb be the buoyant force due to the air in the lung
given;
m = 78.5 kg
m1 = 3.2% × 78.5 = 2.5 kg
m2 = 4.85% × 78.5 = 3.8kg
But, mp = m2- m1
mp = 3.8 - 2.5
mp = 1.3kg
So using
Archimedes principle, the relation for formula for buoyant force as;
Fb = (m_displaced water)g = (ρ_water × V_air × g)
Where ρ_water is density of water = 1000 kg/m³
Thus;
Fb = wp = 1.3× 9.81
Fb = 12.7N
But
Fb = (ρ_water × V_air × g)
So
Vair = Fb/(ρ_water × × g)
Vair = 12.7/(1000 × 9.81)
V_air = 1.3 × 10^(-3) m³
convert to litres
1 m³ = 1000 L
Thus;
V_air = 1.3× 10^(-3) × 1000
V_air = 1.3 L
But since the average lung capacity of an adult human being is about 6-7litres of air.
Thus, the calculated lung volume is not reasonable
Explanation:
If Superman really had x-ray vision at 0.12 nm wavelength and a 4.1 mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could he distinguish villains from heroes, assuming that he needs to resolve points separated by 5.4 cm to do this?
Answer:
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m
Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m
Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m
Find:
Maximum altitude to see(L)
Computation:
Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)
D / L = 1.22(λ / d)
0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]
0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 1.47 × 10⁶
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)
a transformer changes 95 v acorss the primary to 875 V acorss the secondary. If the primmary coil has 450 turns how many turns does the seconday have g
Answer:
The number of turns in the secondary coil is 4145 turns
Explanation:
Given;
the induced emf on the primary coil, [tex]E_p[/tex] = 95 V
the induced emf on the secondary coil, [tex]E_s[/tex] = 875 V
the number of turns in the primary coil, [tex]N_p[/tex] = 450 turns
the number of turns in the secondary coil, [tex]N_s[/tex] = ?
The number of turns in the secondary coil is calculated as;
[tex]\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{E_p}{E_s}[/tex]
[tex]N_s = \frac{N_pE_s}{E_p} \\\\N_s = \frac{450*875}{95} \\\\N_s = 4145 \ turns[/tex]
Therefore, the number of turns in the secondary coil is 4145 turns.
A flat loop of wire consisting of a single turn of cross-sectional area 7.30 cm2 is perpendicular to a magnetic field that increases uniformly in magnitude from 0.500 T to 3.50 T in 1.00 s. What is the resulting induced current if the loop has a resistance of 2.60
Answer:
-0.73mA
Explanation:
Using amphere's Law
ε =−dΦB/ dt
=−(2.6T)·(7.30·10−4 m2)/ 1.00 s
=−1.9 mV
Using ohms law
ε=V =IR
I = ε/ R =−1.9mV/ 2.60Ω =−0.73mA
If one could transport a simple pendulum of constant length from the Earth's surface to the Moon's, where acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth (1/6) that on the Earth, by what factor would be the pendulum frequency be changed
Answer:
The frequency will change by a factor of 0.4
Explanation:
T = 2(pi)*sqrt(L/g)
Since g(moon) = (1/6)g(earth), the period would change by sqrt[1/(1/6)] = sqrt(6) ~ 2.5 times longer on the moon. Since the period & frequency are inverses, the frequency would be 1/2.5 or 0.4 times shorter on the moon.
