"Find the change in gravitational potential energy that the box undergoes as it rises to its final height."
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a box is 2.6 kg
(1) We need to find the work done on the box by this force as it is pushed up the 5.00-m ramp to a height of 3.00 m.
It means that the position of the object is 3 m i.e. h = 3 m
Work done = Fd
= mgh
So,
[tex]W=2.6\times 9.8\times 3\\\\W=76.44\ J[/tex]
(2) Now the gravitational potential energy that the box undergoes as it rises to its final height is equal to the work done by the box. So,
Change in potential energy = 76.44 J
a. What quantum number of the hydrogen atom comes closest to giving a 61-nm-diameter electron orbit?
b. What are the electron's speed and energy in this state?
Answer:
a
[tex]n = 23[/tex]
b
[tex]v = 87377.95 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The diameter is [tex]d = 61\ nm = 61 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
Generally the radius electron orbit is mathematically represented as
[tex]r = \frac{61 *10^{-9}}{2}[/tex]
=> [tex]r = 3.05*10^{-8} \ m[/tex]
This radius can also be represented mathematically as
[tex]r = n^2 * a_o[/tex]
Here n is the quantum number and [tex]a_o[/tex] is the Bohr radius with a value
[tex]a_o = 0.0529 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
So
[tex]n = \sqrt{\frac{3.05*10^{-8}}{ 0.059*10^{-9}} }[/tex]
=> [tex]n = 23[/tex]
Generally the angular momentum of the electron is mathematically represented as
[tex]L = m * v * r = \frac{n * h }{2 \pi}[/tex]
Here h is the Planck constant and the value is [tex]h = 6.626*10^{-34} J \cdot s[/tex]
m is the mass of the electron with values [tex]m = 9.1*10^{-31} \ kg[/tex]
So
[tex]v = \frac{23 * 6.626*10^{-34} }{2\pi * 9.1 *10^{-31} * 3.05*10^{-8} }[/tex]
[tex]v = 87377.95 \ m/s[/tex]

What is the maximum wavelength of incident light that can produce photoelectrons from silver? The work function for silver is Φ=2.93 eV. (in nm)
Answer: Wavelength of 424 nm can produce photoelectrons from silver
Explanation:
[tex]\phi=h\times \nu_o=\frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
[tex]\phi[/tex] = work function = energy of photon
h = Planck's constant = [tex]6.63\times 10^{-34}Js[/tex]
[tex]\nu_0[/tex] = frequency of the metal
c = speed of light = [tex]3\times 10^8m/s[/tex]
[tex]\lambda[/tex] =longest wavelength of the radiation
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the wavelength of the photons.
[tex]\lambda=\frac{hc}{\phi}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{2.93\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J}[/tex] ( as 1ev=[tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}J[/tex] )
[tex]\lambda=4.24\times 10^{-7}m[/tex]
[tex]1nm=10^{-9}m[/tex]
[tex]\lambda=424nm[/tex]
Here, wavelength of 424 nm can produce photoelectrons from silver
A 2MeV proton is moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 2.5 T.the force on a proton is
Answer:
The force on the proton is 7.85 x 10⁻¹² N
Explanation:
Given;
kinetic energy of the proton, K.E = 2MeV = 2 x 10⁶ x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
= 3.204 x 10⁻¹³ J
magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 2.5 T
The kinetic energy of the proton is given by;
[tex]K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m}\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2*3.204*10^{-13}}{1.67 *10^{-27}}} \\\\v = 1.959*10^7 \ m/s[/tex]
The force on the proton moving perpendicular to magnetic field is given by;
F = qvB
F = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.959 x 10⁷ x 2.5
F = 7.85 x 10⁻¹² N
Therefore, the force on the proton is 7.85 x 10⁻¹² N
A part of a circuit contains an inductor. The current through the inductor is changing uniformly from 2.40A to 0.30A over the course of 1.75s. If the EMF ( voltage change ) from one side of the inductor to the other is 5.70 Volts, what is the value of the inductance
Answer:
The value of the inductance is 4.75 H
Explanation:
Given;
initial current through the inductor, I₁ = 2.4 A
final current through the inductor, I₂ = 0.3 A
duration of change of current, dt = 1.75 s
voltage change of the inductor, V = 5.7 Volts
The voltage change of the inductor is given by;
[tex]V_L = -L\frac{di}{dt}\\\\ V_L = -L(\frac{I_2-I_1}{dt} )\\\\V_L = L(\frac{I_1-I_2}{dt} )\\\\[/tex]
Where;
L is the inductance of the coil;
[tex]5.7 = L(\frac{2.4-0.3}{1.75} )\\\\5.7 = 1.2 L\\\\L = \frac{5.7}{1.2}\\\\ L = 4.75 \ H[/tex]
Therefore, the value of the inductance is 4.75 H

A 50g marble is moving at 2m/s when it strikes a 20g marble at rest. Immediately after the collision, the 50g ball is moving at 1m/s. Is this an elastic collision
Answer:
Since the two marbles have different velocities after collision, it can be concluded that the collision is elastic.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of first marble, m₁ = 50g = 0.05 kg
initial velocity of the first marble, u₁ = 2 m/s
mass of second marble, m₂ = 20 g = 0.02 kg
initial velocity of the second marble, u₂ = 0
final velocity of the first marble, v₁ = 1 m/s
Let the final velocity of the second marble, = v₂
Determine the final velocity of the second marble by applying principle of momentum;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
0.05 x 2 + 0.02 x 0 = 0.05 x 1 + 0.02v₂
0.1 = 0.05 + 0.02v₂
0.02v₂ = 0.1 - 0.05
0.02v₂ = 0.05
v₂ = 0.05 / 0.02
v₂ = 2.5 m/s
During inelastic collision both objects will move at the same velocity after collision.
During elastic collision both objects will move at different velocities after collision.
Since the two marbles have different velocities after collision, it can be concluded that the collision is elastic.

a. The resistance R is doubled?
b. The peak emf εo is doubled?
c. The frequency ω is doubled?
Answer:
(a) When the resistance R is doubled, I = 1 A
(b) When the peak emf εo is doubled, I = 4 A
(c) When the frequency ω is doubled, I = 2 A
Explanation:
Given;
peak current through the resistor, I = 2.0 A
According to ohms law the peak current through the circuit is given by;
[tex]I = \frac{V}{R}[/tex]
(a) When the resistance R is doubled;
[tex]I = \frac{V_R}{R} \\\\I_1R_1 = I_2R_2\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1R_1}{R_2} \\\\I_2 = \frac{2*R_1}{2R_1} \\\\I_2 = 1 \ A[/tex]
(b)When the peak emf εo is doubled
[tex]I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{\epsilon_o}{R} \\\\R = \frac{\epsilon_ o}{I} \\\\\frac{\epsilon_ o_1}{I_1} = \frac{\epsilon_ o_2}{I_2} \\\\I_2 = \frac{\epsilon_ o_2 *I_1}{\epsilon _o_1} \\\\I_2 = \frac{2 \epsilon_ o_1 *2}{\epsilon _o_1} \\\\I_2 = 4 \ A[/tex]

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.
Answer:
R_total = 14.57 Ω , V_C = 1.176 V
Explanation:
To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember
* Serial resistance
[tex]R_{eq}[/tex] = ∑ [tex]R_{i}[/tex]
* For resistance in parallel
1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}
We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge
Series resistors
Branch B
R_B = Rb + R4
R_B = 2 + 18
R_B = 20 Ω
Branch C
R_C5 = Rc + R5
R_C5 = 3 + 12
R_C5 = 15 Ω
Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5
1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5
1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666
R_BC = 8.57 Ω
Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance
R_total = R_A + R_BC
R_total = 6 + 8.57
R_total = 14.57 Ω
b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C
Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages
10 = V_a + V_BC
10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)
i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)
i = 10 / (14.57)
i = 0.6863 A
The current in the series circuit is constant
V_BC = i R_BC
V_BC = 0.6863 8.57
V_BC = 5.8819 V
This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.
Branch C
V_BC = i R_C5
i = V_BC / R_C5
i = 5.8819 / 15
i = 0.39213 A
In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant
V_C = i R_C
V_C = 0.39213 3
V_C = 1.176 V

Define fluid flow. Write five difference between uniform and non uniform flow.
Answer:
Fluid Flow is a part of fluid mechanics and deals with fluid dynamics. Fluids such as gases and liquids in motion are called fluid flow. It involves the motion of a fluid subjected to unbalanced forces. This motion continues as long as unbalanced forces are applied.
Difference:
Whereas in real fluids velocity varies across the section. But when the size and shape of cross section are constant along the length of channels under consideration, the flow is said to be uniform. A non-uniform flow is one in which velocity is not constant at a given instant.

what is the pressure of the gas inside the apparatus on teh right if the outside pressure P atm = 750mmHg
Complete question:
Check file uploaded for diagram of the apparatus
Answer:
The pressure of the gas inside the apparatus is 1000 mmHg
Explanation:
Given;
outside pressure, Patm = 750 mmHg
change in height of the two columns, Δh = 25 cm = 250 mm
The pressure of the gas inside the apparatus is given by;
P(gas) = P(atm) + P(Hg)
where;
P(atm) is the outside pressure
P(Hg) is the gauge pressure = height difference of the two columns.
P(gas) = 750 mmHg + 250 mmHg
P(gas) = 1000 mmHg
Therefore, the pressure of the gas inside the apparatus is 1000 mmHg
The pressure of the gas inside the apparatus is 1000 mmHg.
Calculation of the pressure:Since
outside pressure, Patm = 750 mmHg
change in height of the two columns, Δh = 25 cm = 250 mm
so we know that
The pressure of the gas inside the apparatus is
P(gas) = P(atm) + P(Hg)
here;
P(atm) is the outside pressure
P(Hg) is the gauge pressure = height difference of the two columns.
So,
P(gas) = 750 mmHg + 250 mmHg
P(gas) = 1000 mmHg

An evacuated tube uses an accelerating voltage of 40 kV to accelerate electrons to hit a copper plate and produce x rays. Nonrelativistically, what would be the maximum speed of these electrons
Answer:
1.187 x 10^8 m/s
Explanation:
the potential of the electric field V = 40 kV = 40000 V
the charge on an electron e = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
The energy of an accelerated electron in an electric field is given as
E = eV
E = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 40000 = 6.4 x 10^-15 J
This energy is equal to the kinetic energy with which the electron moves, according to the conservation of energy.
The kinetic energy = [tex]\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}[/tex]
where
m is the mass of the electron = 9.109 x 10^-31
v is the speed of the electron.
Equating the energy, we have
6.4 x 10^-15 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*9.109*10^-31*v^{2}[/tex]
6.4 x 10^-15 = 4.55 x 10^-31 [tex]v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v^{2}[/tex] = 1.41 x 10^16
[tex]x^{2} v = \sqrt{1.41*10^{16}}[/tex] = 1.187 x 10^8 m/s
A 11.0kg bucket is lowered vertically by a rope in which there is 164N of tension at a given instant.
Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the bucket.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Answer:
The magnitude of the acceleration is 5.11 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
Tension on the rope, T = 164 N
mass of the bucket, m = 11 kg
Weight of the rope is given by;
W = mg = 11 x 9.8 = 107.8 N
According to Newton's second law of motion, the tension on the rope is given by;
T = W - ma
ma = W - T
ma = 107.8N - 164N
ma = -56.2 N
a = -56.2 / m
a = -56.2 / 11
a = -5.11 m/s²
The magnitude of the acceleration is 5.11 m/s²

While taking the stairs it takes you 10 seconds to reach the top. The next time you take the same stairs, it takes you 5 seconds to reach the top stair. During which of these trips up the stairs did you use more power to climb? Explain your answer in complete sentences with proper spelling, grammar, and other language mechanics.
Answer:
P₂ = 2 P₁
we conclude that in the second time the power used is double that in the first rise
Explanation:
In this exercise we are asked the power to climb the stairs, if we assume that we go up with constant speed, we use an energy equal to the potential energy due to the difference in height of the stairs, as this height is constant the potential energy does not change and therefore therefore the energy used by us does not change either.
Now we can analyze the required power,
P = W / t
From the analysis of the previous paragraph the work is equal to the energy used, according to the work energy theorem,
therefore the first time the power is
P₁ = E / 10
P₁ = 0.1 E
for the second time the power is
P₂ = E / 5
P₂ = 0.2 E
we see that the power in the second case is
P₂ = 2 P₁
Therefore, we conclude that in the second time the power used is double that in the first rise.

The Kelvin temperature of the hot reservoir of an engine is twice that of the cold reservoir, and work done by the engine per cycle is 50 J.
Calculate:
(a) the efficiency of the engine,
(b) the heat absorbed per cycle, and
(c) the heat rejected per cycle.
Answer:
a) 50%
b) 100 J
c) 50 J
Explanation:
The cold temperature of the reservoir = [tex]T_{c}[/tex]
according to the problem, it is stated that the hot reservoir of an engine is twice that of the cold reservoir, therefore,
the hot temperature of the reservoir [tex]T_{h}[/tex] = [tex]2T_{c}[/tex]
The work done by the engine = 50 J
a) The max efficiency obtainable from a heat engine η = [tex]1 - \frac{T_{c} }{T_{h} }[/tex]
since [tex]T_{h}[/tex] = [tex]2T_{c}[/tex], the equation becomes
η = [tex]1 - \frac{T_{c} }{2T_{c} }[/tex] =
η = [tex]1 - \frac{1 }{2 }[/tex] = 0.5 = 50%
b) The heat absorbed per cycle will be gotten from
η = [tex]\frac{W}{Q}[/tex]
η is the efficiency of the system = 0.5
where W is the work done = 50 J
Q is the heat absorbed = ?
substituting, we have
0.5 = [tex]\frac{50}{Q}[/tex]
Q = 50/0.5 = 100 J
c) The heat rejected per cycle = 50% of the absorbed heat
==> 0.5 x 100 J = 50 J
2. A 15 kg mass fastened to the end of a steel wire of un-
stretched length 0.5 m is whirled in a vertical circle with an
angular velocity of 2 rev/s at the bottom of the circle. The cross
section of the wire is 0.02 cm2. Calculate the elongation of the
wire when the weight is at the lowest point of the path. Steel
has Y.M.= 2.0 x 1011 Pa. [1.66mm]
Explanation:
Elongation of the wire is:
ΔL = F L₀ / (E A)
where F is the force,
L₀ is the initial length,
E is Young's modulus,
and A is the cross sectional area.
ΔL = T (0.5 m) / ((2.0×10¹¹ Pa) (0.02 cm²) (1 m / 100 cm)²)
ΔL = T (1.25×10⁻⁶ m/N)
T = (80,000 N/m) ΔL
Draw a free body diagram of the mass at the bottom of the circle. There are two forces: tension force T pulling up and weight force mg pulling down.
Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:
∑F = ma
T − mg = mv²/r
T − mg = mω²r
T − (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (15 kg) (2 rev/s × 2π rad/rev)² (0.5 m + ΔL)
T − 147 N = (2368.7 N/m) (0.5 m + ΔL)
Substitute:
(80,000 N/m) ΔL − 147 N = (2368.7 N/m) (0.5 m + ΔL)
(80,000 N/m) ΔL − 147 N = 1184.35 N + (2368.7 N/m) ΔL
(797631.3 N/m) ΔL = 1331.35 N
ΔL = 0.00167 m
ΔL = 1.67 mm
A narrow beam of white light is incident on a sheet of quartz. Thebeam disperses in the quartz, with red light (λË700nm)traveling at an angle of 26.3o with respect to thenormal and violet light (λË400nm) traveling at25.7o. The index of refraction of quartz for red lightis 1.45. What is the index of refraction of quartz for violetlight?
Answer:
The index of refraction of quartz for violet light is 1.47.
Explanation:
It is given that, a narrow beam of white light is incident on a sheet of quartz.
The beam disperses in the quartz, with red light at an angle, [tex]\theta_r=26.3^{\circ}[/tex] wrt to the normal and violet light traveling at an angle of [tex]\theta_v=25.7^{\circ}[/tex]
The index of refraction of quartz for red light is 1.45.
We need to find the index of refraction of quartz for violet light.
Using Snell's law of red light as follows :
[tex]\mu_a\sin\theta_i=\mu_r\sin\theta_r[/tex]
Here,
[tex]\mu_a[/tex] is the refractive index of air
[tex]\theta_i[/tex] is the angle of incidence
We can find the value of angle of incidence as follows :
[tex]\sin\theta_i=\dfrac{\mu_r \sin\theta_r}{\mu_a}\\\\\sin\theta_i=\dfrac{1.45\times \sin(26.3)}{1}\\\\\theta_i=\sin^{-1}(0.642)\\\\\theta_i=39.79^{\circ}[/tex]
Now again using Snell's law for violet light as follows :
[tex]\mu_a\sin\theta_i=\mu_v\sin\theta_v\\\\\mu_v=\dfrac{\mu_a\sin\theta_i}{\sin\theta_v}\\\\\mu_v=\dfrac{1\times \sin(39.79)}{\sin(25.7)}\\\\\mu_v=1.47[/tex]
So, the index of refraction of quartz for violet light is 1.47.
