.If we had two unknown masses on opposite sides of the pivot, could we calculate both masses given just the information used in the experiment? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, it is impossible to calculate the two masses.

From the statement, there is one known mass on one of the side of the pivot and one "mystery" mass object on the other side of the pivot, so that we have to move that mystery mass or that known mass in a way that it balances both.

We need to know at least one mass. We cannot use any equilibrium condition involving torque  with unknown masses.

When stretched beyond it's elastic limit, a metal rod such as steel​

Answers

Answer:

When an elastic material is stretched, depending on the stress, it might reach a point beyond which it will no longer return to its original size and shape. This point is called the elastic limit.

When the material (such as a metal rod (e.g steel, copper)) is stretched beyond its elastic limit, Hooke's law is no longer obeyed. i.e strain is no longer directly proportional to stress.

What is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation needed to eject electrons from a metal?

Answers

Answer:

λ = hc/(eV + h[tex]f_{0}[/tex])

Explanation:

Let the work function of the metal = ∅

the kinetic energy with which the electrons are ejected = E

the energy of the incident electromagnetic wave = hf

Then, we know that the kinetic energy of the emitted electron will be

E = hf - ∅

because the energy of the incident electromagnetic radiation must exceed the work function for electrons to be ejected.

This means that the energy of the incident e-m wave can be written as

hf = E + ∅

also, we know that the kinetic energy of the emitted electron E = eV

and the work function ∅ = h[tex]f_{0}[/tex]

we can they combine all equations to give

hf = eV + h[tex]f_{0}[/tex]

we know that f = c/λ

substituting, we have

hc/λ = eV + h[tex]f_{0}[/tex]

λ = hc/(eV + h[tex]f_{0}[/tex])    This is the wavelength of the e-m radiation needed to eject electrons from a metal.

where

λ is the wavelength of the e-m radiation

h is the Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10^-34 m^2 kg/s

c is the speed of e-m radiations in a vacuum = 3 x 10^8 m/s

e is the charge on an electron

V is the voltage potential on the electron

[tex]f_{0}[/tex] is the threshold frequency of the metal

Two particles, one with charge −7.97×10−6 C and the other with charge 6.91×10−6 C, are 0.0359 m apart. What is the magnitude of the force that one particle exerts on the other?

Answers

Answer:

-384.22N

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law;

F= Kq1q2/r^2

Where;

K= constant of Coulomb's law = 9 ×10^9 Nm^2C-2

q1 and q2 = magnitudes of the both charges

r= distance of separation

F= 9 ×10^9 × −7.97×10^−6 × 6.91×10^−6/(0.0359)^2

F= -495.65 × 10^-3/ 1.29 × 10^-3

F= -384.22N

One train is at the 20 Km position, another is at the 200Km position, both are approaching, the first with a speed of 30Kmh-1 and the second with a speed of 48 Kmh-1. If they leave at 7:12, what time do they cross? Answer: t = 2.30 H Time: 9:30 am.

Answers

Explanation:

The distance between them is 200 km − 20 km = 180 km.

The relative velocity is 30 km/h − (-48 km/h) = 78 km/h.

The time it takes is 180 km / (78 km/h) = 2.31 hours, or 2 hrs 18 min.

(a) What is the magnification?
(b) What is the image height?
m

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

Size of object, h = 0.066 m

Object distance from the lens, u = 0.210 m (negative)

Focal length of the converging lens, f = 0.14 m

If v is the image distance from the lens, we can find it using lens formula as follows :

[tex]\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{0.14 }+\dfrac{1}{(-0.21)}\\\\v=0.42\ m[/tex]

(a) Magnification,

[tex]m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{0.42}{(-0.21)}\\\\m=-2[/tex]

(b) Magnification, [tex]m=\dfrac{h'}{h}[/tex]

h' is image height

[tex]-2=\dfrac{h'}{0.066}\\\\h'=-2\times 0.066\\\\h'=-0.132\ m[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the wavelength of the light entering an interferometer if 402 bright fringes are counted when the movable mirror moves 0.115 mm?

Answers

Answer:

The  value is  [tex]\lambda = 572 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  number of  bright fringes is  n =  402

     The  displacement of the mirror is  [tex]\delta l = 0.115 \ mm = 1.15 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]

 

Generally the number of fringes is mathematically represented as

       [tex]n = \frac{2 * \delta l }{\lambda }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\lambda = \frac{2 * \delta l }{n }[/tex]

=>     [tex]\lambda = \frac{2 * 1.15*10^{-4} }{402 }[/tex]

=>   [tex]\lambda = 572 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

light of wavelength 610 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum on one side of the central meximum and the first minimum on the other side is 1.23°. What is the width of the slit?

Answers

Answer:

The width of the slit is    [tex]d = 5.68 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 610 \ nm = 610 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

     The  angle is  [tex]\theta = 1.23 ^o[/tex]

Generally the angle between the first minimum on one side and that the central maximum is evaluated as

            [tex]\theta _1 = \frac{\theta}{2}[/tex]

=>         [tex]\theta _1 = \frac{1.23}{2}[/tex]

=>         [tex]\theta _1 = 0.615 ^o[/tex]

Generally the condition for minimum diffraction is mathematically represented  as

        [tex]d sin \theta_1 = n\lambda[/tex]

For first minimum n = 1

=>    [tex]d = \frac{n \lambda }{ sin (\theta_1)}[/tex]

=>    [tex]d = \frac{1 * 610 *10^{-9}}{ sin (0.615)}[/tex]

=>    [tex]d = 5.68 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]

= 13.953 x 10⁻²² / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ eV .

= 8.6 x 10⁻³ eV

A relaxed biceps muscle requires a force of 25.0N for an elongation of 3.0 cm; under maximum tension, the same muscle requires a force 500N for the same elongation. Find the Young's modulus for the muscle tissue under each of these conditions if the muscle can be modeled as a uniform cylinder with an initial length of 0.200 m and a cross-sectional area of 50 cm^2.

Answers

3.3 x10^4N/m²

6.7 x105N/m²

Explanation:

Let the young modulus of the relaxed biceps be

Y= F¹Lo/ deta L1 x A

= 25 x0.2/ 0.03* 50cm²(1m²

0.0004cm^-²)

= 3.3x10^4N/m²

But young modules of muscle under maximum tension will be

Y= F"Lo/ deta L" x A

= 500x 0.2/ 0.03* 50cm²(1m²

0.0004cm^-²)

= 6.7 x10^5N/m²

The Young's Modulus of the relaxed muscle and the muscle under maximum tension is 3.3×10⁴ N/m² and 6.6×10⁵ N/m² respectively.

Young's Modulus:

Assuming the biceps muscle as a uniform cylinder with an initial length of L = 0.2 m and cross-sectional area of A = 50cm² = 0.05m²

(i) For the relaxed muscle:

Force required for elongation of ΔL = 0.03m is, F = 25 N

Young's Modulus (Y) = stress/strain

Now, stress =  F/A,

and strain = ΔL/L

thus,

Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)

Y = FL/AΔL

Y = (25×0.2)/(0.05×0.03)

Y = 3.3×10⁴ N/m²

(ii)(i) For the muscle under maximum tension:

Force required for elongation of ΔL = 0.03m is, F = 500 N

Young's Modulus (Y) = stress/strain

Now, stress =  F/A,

and strain = ΔL/L

thus,

Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)

Y = FL/AΔL

Y = (500×0.2)/(0.05×0.03)

Y = 6.6×10⁵ N/m²

A source vibrating at constant frequency generates a sinusoidal wave on a string under constant tension. If the power delivered to the string is tripled, by what factor does the amplitude change

Answers

Answer:

n = 1,732    the amplitude must be increased by a factor of 1,732

Explanation:

The power delivered by a wave is given by

                  P = E / t

                  P = ½ μ w² v A²

let's apply this expression to our case the power tripled

                3P₀ = ½ μ w² v A’²

                 

let's write the amplitude function of a initial amplitude

               A ’= n A₀

where n is a number

               3 P₀ = (½ μy w² v  A₀²) n²

               3P₀ = P₀ n²

               n = √ 3

               n = 1,732

therefore the amplitude must be increased by a factor of 1,732

A volleyball is released three times from three different heights: 5 m, 10 m, and 20 m. Which statement is correct about the volleyball?

The volleyball accelerates more quickly toward the ground when released from a higher height.

The volleyball accelerates the same amount toward the ground each time.

The volleyball accelerates more slowly toward the ground when released from a higher height.

The volleyball may accelerate more quickly or slowly depending on its mass.

A student is setting up an experiment with 10 different balls. The student wants to measure which ball hits the ground with the largest force when released from a box 5 feet above the ground. Which quantity should be measured to correctly calculate the force with which each ball hits the ground?

the initial velocity of each ball
the mass of each ball
the rate at which the velocity of each ball increases
the final velocity of each ball right before hitting the ground

Answers

Explanation:

1)

The answer is

The volleyball accelerates the same amount toward the ground each time.

Because gravitational acceleration is constant irrespective of altitude(height) or mass of the object.

2)

The answer is

the mass of each ball

because gravitational force is given by

F = mg

since g is a constant, he only needs to measure the mass if each ball

The concepts of free fall and Newton's second law allow to find the correct answers

1) Acceleration is constant

2) The mass of the body

The game of volleyball consists of throwing the balls from the serve to pass it to the other court, this is a two-dimensional movement type projectile launch, in this type of movement the acceleration is the constant on the y axis, it is called acceleration of the gravity and vale (g = 9.8 m / s²)

1) Let's review the different statements of the first part regarding acceleration.

a) The ball accelerates faster as it goes down

   False. Acceleration is constant

b) The ball accelerates the same amount

   True. Acceleration is constant and directed on the vertical axis

c) The ball accelerates slower or faster

     False. Acceleration is constant

The vertical launch of kinematics, establishes that the ball as it descends it goes faster with an acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity, in this part it is asked to look for the force of the ball when it reaches the ground, for this the second is used Newton law

           F = m a

where in this case the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity

          a = g

          F = m g

Let's review the different claims

a) Initial velocity

    False. To calculate the force you only need the mass since acceleration is constant

b) The mass

    True. The product of the mass and the acceleration of gravity gives the force with which the ball hits the ground

c) Increasing speed

    False. Increasing speed allows calculating acceleration not force

d) The final speed

     False. Force does not depend on the speed of the body

In conclusion using the concepts of free fall and Newton's second law we can find the correct answers:

1)  Acceleration is constant

2) Body mass

: An experienced spear fisherman sees a small fish swimming in a tidal pool. If the fisherman sees the fish at approximately a 40o angle (measured from vertical), he knows that he must release his spear at what angle

Answers

Answer:

He should aim below 40°

Explanation:

Because

His eyes are being deceived about the real location of the fish, because the light coming from the fish is refracting away from the normal, if traced from the vertical as it passes into the air and to his eye . so, he will perceive the fish as being shallower than it really is. So if he throws the spear which will travel in a straight line directly at where he perceives the fish to be, the spear will pass above its head so he needs to need to aim lower than 40°

c) When a neutron reaches a detector, can we say which slit the neutrons passed through? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

9.91*10^-7 m

4.955*10^-6 m

Explanation:

Given that

v = 0.4 m/s

d = 1 m

L = 10 m

h = 6.62*10^-34 Js

m(neutron) = 1.67*10^-27 kg

To find the debroglie wavelength of the neutron, we use the formula

λ = h/mv

Now, we plug in the values we have listed.

λ = 6.62*10^-34 / (1.67*10^-27 * 0.4)

λ = 6.62*10^-34 / 6.68*10^-28

λ = 9.91*10^-7 m

b)

y1 = L (m + ½) λ/d, where m = 0

y1 = L (0 + ½) λ/d

y1 = L (½) λ/d

y1 = L/2 * λ/d or

y1 = Lλ/2d

now, we substitute the values for each of them, we have

y1 = (10 * 9.91*10^-7) / (2 * 1)

y1 = 9.91*10^-6 / 2

y1 = 4.955*10^-6 m

g stAn experienced spear fisherman sees a small fish swimming in a tidal pool. If the fisherman sees the fish at approximately a 40o angle (measured from vertical), he knows that he must release his spear at what angle

Answers

Answer:

  θ = 28.9

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where we use index 1 for air and index 2 for water where the fish is

        sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

in this case the air repair index is 1 and the water 1.33

we substitute

        sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.33 sin t 40

        sin θ = 0.4833

         

        θ = sin⁻¹ 0.4833

        θ = 28.9

Generally the lens equation is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f}[/tex]

At  image  distance  u =  1.5 m

       [tex]\frac{1}{1.5} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{50 *10^{-3}}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\frac{1}{50 *10^{-3}} - \frac{1}{1.5} = \frac{1}{v}[/tex]

=>[tex]v = 0.052 \ m[/tex]

At  image  distance  [tex]u = 30\ cm = 0.30 \ m[/tex]

        [tex]\frac{1}{0.3} + \frac{1}{v_1} = \frac{1}{50 *10^{-3}}[/tex]

=>     [tex]\frac{1}{50 *10^{-3}} - \frac{1}{0.30 } = \frac{1}{v_1}[/tex]

=>    [tex]v_1 = 0.06 \ m[/tex]

The distance the lens need to move is evaluate as

   [tex]z = |v - v_1|[/tex]

   [tex]z = |0.052 - 0.06|[/tex]

   [tex]z = 0.009 \ m[/tex]

(01.02 MC) Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answer. Mrs. Jennings was a widow, with an ample jointure.1 She had only two daughters, both of whom she had lived to see respectably married, and she had now therefore nothing to do but to marry all the rest of the world. In the promotion of this object she was zealously active, as far as her ability reached; and missed no opportunity of projecting weddings among all the young people of her acquaintance. She was remarkably quick in the discovery of attachments, and had enjoyed the advantage of raising the blushes and the vanity of many a young lady by insinuations of her power over such a young man; and this kind of discernment enabled her soon after her arrival at Barton decisively to pronounce that Colonel Brandon was very much in love with Marianne Dashwood. She rather suspected it to be so, on the very first evening of their being together, from his listening so attentively while she sang to them; and when the visit was returned by the Middletons' dining at the cottage, the fact was ascertained by his listening to her again. It must be so. She was perfectly convinced of it. It would be an excellent match, for he was rich and she was handsome. Mrs. Jennings had been anxious to see Colonel Brandon well married, ever since her connection with Sir John first brought him to her knowledge; and she was always anxious to get a good husband for every pretty girl. The immediate advantage to herself was by no means inconsiderable, for it supplied her with endless jokes against them both. At the park she laughed at the colonel, and in the cottage at Marianne. To the former her raillery was probably, as far as it regarded only himself, perfectly indifferent; but to the latter it was at first incomprehensible; and when its object was understood, she hardly knew whether most to laugh at its absurdity, or censure its impertinence, for she considered it as an unfeeling reflection on the colonel's advanced years, and on his forlorn condition as an old bachelor. Mrs. Dashwood, who could not think a man five years younger than herself, so exceedingly ancient as he appeared to the youthful fancy of her daughter, ventured to clear Mrs. Jennings from the probability of wishing to throw ridicule on his age. "But at least, mama, you cannot deny the absurdity of the accusation, though you may not think it intentionally ill-natured. Colonel Brandon is certainly younger than Mrs. Jennings, but he is old enough to be my father; and if he were ever animated enough to be in love, must have long outlived every sensation of the kind. It is too ridiculous! When is a man to be safe from such wit, if age and infirmity will not protect him?" "Infirmity!" said Elinor,2 "do you call Colonel Brandon infirm? I can easily suppose that his age may appear much greater to you than to my mother; but you can hardly deceive yourself as to his having the use of his limbs!" "Did not you hear him complain of the rheumatism? and is not that the commonest infirmity of declining life?" "My dearest child," said her mother laughing, "at this rate you must be in continual terror of my decay; and it must seem to you a miracle that my life has been extended to the advanced age of forty." "Mama, you are not doing me justice. I know very well that Colonel Brandon is not old enough to make his friends yet apprehensive of losing him in the course of nature. He may live twenty years longer. But thirty-five has nothing to do with matrimony."
