Answer:
I = 7.96 W / m²
Explanation:
The light bulb emits a power of P = 100W, this power is distributed over the surface of a sphere, thus the emission is in all directions.
Intensity is defined by power per unit area
I = P / A
The area of a sphere is
A = 4π r²
we substitute
I = P / (4π r²)
in this case it tells us that the distance is r = 1 m
let's calculate
I = 100 / (4π 1²)
I = 7.96 W / m²

At a rock concert, a dB meter registered 131 dB when placed 2.6 m in front of a loudspeaker on the stage. The intensity of the reference level required to determine the sound level is 1.0×10−12W/m2.
a) What was the power output of the speaker, assuming uniform spherical spreading of the sound and neglecting absorption in the air?
b) How far away would the sound level be 86 dB?
Answer:
Explanation:
A) 131 dB = 10*log(I / 1e-12W/m²)
where I is the intensity at 2.6 m away.
13.1 = log(I / 1e-12W/m²
1.25e13= I / 1e-12W/m²
I = 1.25 x10^1W/m²
power = intensity * area
P = I * A = 12.5W/m² * 4π(2.6m)² =1061 W ◄
B) 86 dB = 10*log(I / 1e-12W/m²)
8.6 = log(I / 1e-12W/m²)
3.98e8 = I / 1e-12W/m²
I = 3.98e-4 W/m²
area A = P / I = 1061W / 3.98e-4W/m² = 2.66e6 m²
A = 4πr²
2.66e6 m² = 4πr²
r = 14.5m ◄

B= 4π x 10^-7 × 2266.67 ×0.48
B= 1.37 ×10^-3 T
an electron starts from rest from a fixed point charge with q. what total potential difference accelerates the electron to being very far away from Q
Answer:
V = (k*Q)/R
Explanation:
Total potential difference accelerates the electron to being very far away from Q is;
V = (k*Q)/R
Where,
V is the Potential Difference in Joules per Coulomb
k is the constant
Q is the charge in Coulomb
R is Electron distance in cm or m
Example
An electron starts from rest 66.1 cm from a fixed point charge with Q = -0.120 μC. What total potential difference accelerates the electron from being very far away from Q
For k = 9.0*10^9 N*m^2/C^2
V = (k*Q)/R
V = (9.0*10^9 * -0.120*10^-6)/0.661
V = -1633.9 Volt.
The answer will change to positive because V = (k*Q)/R is negative at the outset and Zero far away.
The electron (with a negative charge) has a positive energy in the beginning and that gets converted into a positive kinetic energy "far away".
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.

Thus, the intensity of sound at rock concert is 10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.
Consider two parallel plate capacitors. The plates on Capacitor B have half the area as the plates on Capacitor A, and the plates in Capacitor B are separated by twice the separation of the plates of Capacitor A. If Capacitor A has a capacitance of CA-17.8nF, what is the capacitance of Capacitor? .
Answer:
CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:
C = ε₀A/d
where,
C = Capacitance
ε₀ = Permeability of free space
A = Area of plates
d = Distance between plates
FOR CAPACITOR A:
C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F
A = A₁
d = d₁
Therefore,
CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F ----------------- equation 1
FOR CAPACITOR B:
C = CB = ?
A = A₁/2
d = 2 d₁
Therefore,
CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁
CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)
using equation 1:
CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)
CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Answer:
A) E(r) = 1.3957 × 10^(5) N/C
B) E(r) = 9.8864 × 10⁴ N/C
C) E(r) = 1.13 × 10^(5) N/C
Explanation:
We are given;
q = 6 nc = 6 × 10^(-9) C
L = 10 cm = 0.1 m
d = 4.4 cm = 0.044 m
r1 = 1 cm = 0.01 m
r2 = 2 cm = 0.02 m
r3 = 3 cm = 0.03 m
Formula for the electric field strength in this question is given as;
E(r) = q/(2π(ε_o)rL) + q/(2π(ε_o)(d - r)L)
When factorized, we have;
E(r) = q/(2π(ε_o)L) × [(1/r) + (1/(d - r))]
Plugging in the relevant values for q/(2π(ε_o)L)
We know that (ε_o) has a constant value of 8.854 × 10^(−12) C²/N².m
Thus; q/(2π(ε_o)L) = (6 × 10^(-9))/(2π(8.854 × 10^(−12)0.1) = 1078.53
Thus;
E(r) = 1078.52 [1/r + 1/(d - r)]
A) E1 is at r = 1 cm = 0.01m
Thus;
E(r) = 1078.52 (1/0.01 + (1/(0.044 - 0.01))
E(r) = 1.3957 × 10^(5) N/C
B) E2 is at r = 2 cm = 0.02 m
Thus;
E(r) = 1078.52 (1/0.02 + (1/(0.044 - 0.02))
E(r) = 9.8864 × 10⁴ N/C
C) E2 is at r = 3 cm = 0.03 m
Thus;
E(r) = 1078.52 (1/0.03 + (1/(0.044 - 0.03))
E(r) = 1.13 × 10^(5) N/C

The frequency of light emitted from hydrogen present in the Andromeda galaxy has been found to be 0.10% higher than that from hydrogen measured on Earth.
Is this galaxy approaching or receding from the Earth, and at what speed?
Answer:
3x10^5m/s
Explanation:
See attached file
Explanation:
The speed of the light emitted from the earth is approaching the galaxy at [tex]3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex].
Doppler's Effect
According to the Doppler effect, the difference between the frequency at which light wave leave a source and reaches an observer is caused by the relative motion of the observer and the wave source.
Given that the difference in the frequency is 0.10 %. The speed of light emitted from the galaxy can be calculated by the Doppler effect.
[tex]\dfrac {\Delta f}{f} = \dfrac {v}{c}[/tex]
Where f is the frequency of the light, v is the speed of light emitted from the galaxy and c is the speed of light emitted from the earth.
[tex]\dfrac {0.10 f}{100 f} = \dfrac {v}{3\times 10^8}[/tex]
[tex]v = 3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the speed of the light emitted from the earth is approaching the galaxy at [tex]3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex].

A 17.0 g bullet traveling horizontally at 785 m/s passes through a tank containing 13.5 kg of water and emerges with a speed of 534 m/s.
What is the maximum temperature increase that the water could have as a result of this event? (in degrees)
Answer:
The maximum temperature increase is [tex]\Delta T = 0.0497 \ ^oC[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the bullet is [tex]m = 17.0 \ g =0.017 \ kg[/tex]
The speed is [tex]v_1 = 785 \ m/s[/tex]
The mass of the water is [tex]m_w = 13.5 \ kg[/tex]
The velocity it emerged with is [tex]v_2 = 534 \ m/s[/tex]
Generally due to the fact that energy can nether be created nor destroyed but transferred from one form to another then
the change in kinetic energy of the bullet = the heat gained by the water
So
The change in kinetic energy of the water is
[tex]\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} m (v_1^2 - v_2 ^2 )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\Delta KE =0.5 * 0.017 * (( 785)^2 - (534) ^2 )[/tex]
[tex]\Delta KE = 2814.1 \ J[/tex]
Now the heat gained by the water is
[tex]Q = m_w* c_w * \Delta T[/tex]
Here [tex]c_w[/tex] is the specific heat of water which has a value [tex]c_w = 4190 J/kg \cdot K[/tex]
So since [tex]\Delta KE = Q[/tex]
we have that
[tex]2814.1 = 13.5 * 4190 * \Delta T[/tex]
[tex]\Delta T = 0.0497 \ ^oC[/tex]

b. 220Hz 440Hz 66 Hz
c. 110Hz, 330Hz, 550Hz
d. 330 Hz, 550Hz, 440Hz
e. 660Hz, 1100Hz, 220Hz
Answer:
A. 110Hz,220Hz, 330 Hz
Explanation:
for organ open at open both ends;
the length of the organ for the fundamental frequency, L = A---->N + N----->A
A---->N = λ /4 and N----->A = λ /4
L = λ /4 + λ /4 = λ /2
[tex]L = \frac{\lambda}{2} \\\\\lambda = 2L[/tex]
λ = 2 x 1.5m = 3.0 m
Wave equation is given by;
V = Fλ
Where;
V is the speed of sound
F is the frequency of the wave
F = V/ λ
F₀ = V / 2L
Where;
F₀ is the fundamental frequency
F₀ = 330 / 2(1.5)
F₀ = 330 / 3
F₀ = 110 Hz
the length of the organ for the first overtone, L = A---->N + N----->A + A----->N + N----->A
L = 4λ /4
L = λ
λ = 1.5 m
F₁ = 330 / 1.5
F₁ = 220 Hz
Thus, F₁ = 2F₀
For open organ at one end
the length of the organ for the fundamental frequency, L = N------A
L = λ /4
λ = 4L
F₀ = V/4L
F₀ = 330 / (4 x 0.75)
F₀ = 110 Hz
the length of the organ for the first overtone, L = N-----N + N-----A
L = λ/2 + λ / 4
L = 3λ /4
F₁ = 3F₀
F₁ = 3 x 110
F₁ = 330 Hz
Thus the fundamental frequency for both organs is 110 Hz,
The first overtone for the organ open at both ends is 220 Hz
The first overtone for the organ open at one end is 330 Hz
The correct option is "A. 110Hz,220Hz, 330 Hz"
The correct option is option (A)
the frequencies produced by the pipes are (A) 110Hz,220Hz, 330 Hz
Frequencies and overtones:(I) For an organ pipe open at open both ends the frequency of different modes is given by:
F = nv/2L
where
F is the frequency
L is the length of the organ pipe
v is the speed of the wave
and, n is the mode of frequency
the fundamental frequency corresponds to n = 1, given by:
F₀ = v/2L
F₀ = 330 / 2(1.5)
F₀ = 330 / 3
F₀ = 110 Hz
The first overtone corresponds to n = 2, the second overtone corresponds to n = 3, and so on...
F₁ =2v/2L
F₁ = 330 / 1.5
F₁ = 220 Hz
Thus, F₁ = 2F₀
The difference between successive overtones is F₀
(II) For an organ pipe open at one end the frequency of different modes is given by:
F = nv/4L
where
F is the frequency
L is the length of the organ pipe
v is the speed of the wave
and, n is the mode of frequency
the fundamental frequency corresponds to n = 1, given by:
F₀ = V/4L
F₀ = 330 / (4 x 0.75)
F₀ = 110 Hz
For an organ pipe open at one end, only those overtones are present which correspond to odd n, that is n = 3,5,...so:
F₁ = 3F₀
F₁ = 3 x 110
F₁ = 330 Hz

Mars Rover When the Mars rover was deployed on the surface of Mars in July 1997, radio signals took about 12 minmin to travel from Earth to the rover.
How far was Mars from Earth at that time?
Answer:
s = 2.16 x 10¹¹ m
Explanation:
Since, the waves travelling from Earth to the Mars rover are electromagnetic. Therefore, there speed must be equal to the speed of light. So, from the equation given below:
s = vt
where,
s = the distance between Earth and Mars = ?
v = speed of the wave = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
t = time taken by the radio signals to reach the rover from Earth
t = (12 min)(60 s/1 min) = 720 s
Therefore,
s = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)(720 s)
s = 2.16 x 10¹¹ m

From the question we are told that
The diameter of the wire is [tex]d = 5.68 \ mm = 0.00568 \ m[/tex]
The magnetic field is [tex]B = 0.100 \ T[/tex]
Generally the radius of the wire is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]r = \frac{d}{2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]r = \frac{ 0.00568}{2}[/tex]
[tex]r = 0.00284 \ m[/tex]

The electric current in a circuit is the flow of charges through a circuit with time.
The charges through the circuit are due to the electrons that flow through the circuit.
An individual electrons has a charge of -1.60 x 10^-19 C on it.
If the current through the circuit is -0.75 C/s, then the number of electrons that are delivered is gotten by dividing the charge per second by the charge on an electron.

Suppose you drop paperclips into an open cart rolling along a straight horizontal track with negligible friction. As a result of the accumulating paper clips, explain whether the momentum and kinetic energy increase, decrease, or stay the same.
Answer:
Stay the same
Explanation:
Since, friction is negligible:
Initial Momentum = Final Momentum
Initial KE = Final KE
m1 * v1 = m2 * v2
When m increases v decreases.
The momentum and kinetic energy remain the same if you drop paper clips into an open cart rolling along a straight horizontal track with negligible friction.
What is friction?Between two surfaces that are sliding or attempting to slide over one another, there is a force called friction. For instance, friction makes it challenging to push a book down the floor. Friction always moves an object in a direction that is counter to the direction that it is traveling or attempting to move.
Given:
The paperclips into an open cart rolling along a straight horizontal track with negligible friction,
Calculate the momentum, Since friction is negligible,
Initial Momentum = Final Momentum
Initial Kinetic Energy = Final Kinetic Energy
m₁ × v₁ = m₁ × v₂

Explanation:
The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.
In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from
v = fλ
that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.
where v is the speed of the sound wave
f is the frequency
λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

Explanation:
Electromagnetic radiation is more common than you think. Radio and TV stations emit radio waves when they broadcast their programs; microwaves cook your food in a microwave oven; dentists use X rays to check your teeth. Even though they have different names and different applications, these types of radiation are really all the same thing: electromagnetic (EM) waves, that is, energy that travels in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Which of the following statements correctly describe the various applications listed above?
a) All these technologies use radio waves, including low-frequency microwaves.
b) All these technologies use radio waves, including high-frequency microwaves.
c) All these technologies use a combination of infrared waves and high-frequency microwaves.
d) Microwave ovens emit in the same frequency band as some wireless Internet devices.
e) The radiation emitted by wireless Internet devices has the shortest wavelength of all the technologies listed above.
f) All these technologies emit waves with a wavelength in the range 0.10 to 10.0 m.
g) All the technologies emit waves with a wavelength in the range 0.01 to 10.0 km.
Answer:
d) Microwave ovens emit in the same frequency band as some wireless Internet devices.
Explanation:
Microwave are radio waves of short wavelength, from about 10 centimetres to one millimetre, in the Super High Frequency and the Extremely High Frequency bands. Microwaves can penetrate into materials and deposit their energy below the surface which is why is is used in microwave heating found in microwave oven. Transmission of data sometimes involves the use of microwaves to send and receive information over a long distance. Microwaves are the mainly used in radar, used for satellite communication, and wireless networking technologies such as Wi-Fi.

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.
