Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

 I₄ / Io = 0.388 = 38.8%

Explanation:

For this exercise we will analyze the effect of having two depolarizers with an annulus between them, this is described by Malus's law

         I = Io cos² θ

where tea is the angle between the two polarizers.

For this case we must apply this law to each pair of polarizers.

The light that reaches the first polarizer is non-polarized light, therefore only the light that has polarization is transmitted in the direction of the depolarizer, which is horizontal.

          I₁ = I₀ / 2

this intnesidad reaches the second polarizer that has an angle of 23º with respect to the first polarizer

          I₂ = I₁ cos² 23

          I₂ = I₀ / 2 0.847

This light reaches the third polarizer, which has an angle of 42º with respect to the first polarized one.

Let's find the angle with respect to the 2nd polarizer

          θ = 42- 23

          θ = 19º

we apply the law of Malus

          I₃ = I₂2 cos 19

          I₃ = I₀ 0.847 / 2 0.9455

          I₃ = Io 0.4

This intensity of light reaches the fourth polarizer, with an angle of 14º with respect to the 3polarizer

          I₄ = Io 0.4 cos 14

          I₄ = Io 0.4 0.970

          I₄ = Io 0.388

to give this result as a percentage

          I₄ / Io = 0.388 = 38.8%

A solid circular rod that is 600 mm long and 20 mm in diameter is subjected to an axial force of P = 50 kN. The elongation of the rod is delta = 1.40 mm and its diameter becomes df = 19.9837 mm. Determine the modulus of elasticity (E) and the modulus of elasticity in shear (G). Assume the material does not yield.

Answers

Answer:

a) the modulus of elasticity (E) is 68.22 GPa

b) the modulus of elasticity in shear is 25.28 GPa

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

First we determine the cross-sectional area A of the road;

A = π/4 × d²

given that; diameter d = 20 mm

we substitute

A = π/4 × ( 20 mm )²

A = π/4 × 400 mm

A = 314.159 mm²

Next, we find, the normal stress of the rod σ

σ = P / A

given that load p = 50 kN = 50,000 Newton

we substitute

σ = 50,000 N / 314.159 mm²

σ = 159.155 N/mm²

σ = 159.155 Mpa

Next, is the normal strain ε

ε = δ / L

given that; change in length δ = 1.40 mm and Length of rod L = 600 mm

we substitute

ε = 1.40 mm / 600 mm

ε = 0.002333

Now, we find the modulus of elasticity;

we know that;

σ = Eε

modulus of elasticity E = σ / ε

we substitute

E = 159.155 Mpa / 0.002333

E = 68219.031 MPa

E = ( 68219.031 / 1000 ) GPa

E = 68.22 GPa

Therefore, the modulus of elasticity (E) is 68.22 GPa

b)

we know that the Poisson's ratio v is;

v = -(ε[tex]_{lat[/tex] / ε )

v = - (((d[tex]_f[/tex] - d)/d) / ε )

where d[tex]_f[/tex]  is the final diameter of the rod ( 19.9837  mm ) and ε[tex]_{lat[/tex] is the lateral strain

so we substitute

v = - ((( 19.9837 - 20 ) / 20 ) / 0.002333  )

v = - (( -0.0163 / 20 ) / 0.002333  )

v = - ( - 0.000815 / 0.002333 )

v = - ( - 0.3493 )

v = 0.3493

So, our shear modulus will be;

G = E / 2( 1 + v )

we substitute

G = 68.22 GPa / 2( 1 + 0.3493  )

G = 68.22 GPa / 2( 1.3493  )

G = 68.22 GPa / 2.6986

G = 25.28 GPa

Therefore, the modulus of elasticity in shear is 25.28 GPa

D) bench pressing 30 kilograms a distance of 0.5 meter in 1.5 seconds

Answers

Answer: Lifting 25 kilograms a distance of 2.4 meters in 2.0 seconds

Explanation:

Got it wrong and that’s the answer

Lifting 25 kilograms a distance of 2.4 meters in 2.0 seconds  exerts the same power output. Hence, option (A) is correct.

What is power?

The quantity of energy moved or converted per unit of time is known as power in physics. The watt, or one joule per second, is the unit of power in the International System of Units.

Power is also referred to as activity in ancient writings. A scalar quantity is power.

Power required for lifting 30 kilograms of weights a vertical distance of 0.5 meters in 0.5 second = (30×9.8×0.5)/0.5 watt = 294 watt.

Power required for lifting 25 kilograms a distance of 2.4 meters in 2.0 seconds= (25×9.8×2.4)/2.0watt = 294 watt.

Power required for lifting  45 kilograms a distance of 2.4 meters in 3.0 seconds =  (45×9.8×2.4)/3.0watt = 352.8 watt.

Power required for lifting  45 kilograms a distance of 0.5 meters in 0.5seconds =  (45×9.8×0.5)/0.5watt = 441 watt.

Answers

The total height of the building from which the brick is thrown is 33.60 meters.

What is Speed?

Speed is the rate of change of position of an object in any direction with respect to time. Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered. The SI unit of speed is m/s (meter per second).

The time of flight of the object from the building is:

t = 2μ sinθ/ g

t = 2 × 15 × sin10/ 9.8

t = 30 × 0.175/ 9.8

t = 0.535 seconds

Total time to cover the distance = 2.9 seconds

Total time = 2.9 - 0.535

Total time = 2.365

μg = μ sinθ

h = 15 × sin10  × 2.365 + 1/2 × 9.8 × (2.365)²

h = 2.625 × 2.365 + 1/2 × 9.8 × (2.365)²

When a low-pressure gas of hydrogen atoms is placed in a tube and a large voltage is applied to the end of the tube, the alors will emit electromagnetic radiation and visible light can be observed. If this light passes through a diffraction grating, the resulting spectrum appears as a pattern of four isolated, sharp parallel lines, called spectral lines. Each spectral line corresponds lo one specific wavelength that is present in the light emitted by the source. Such a discrete spectrum is referred to as a line spectrum
By the early 19th century, it was found that discrete spectra were produced by every chemical element in its gaseous slale. Even though these spectra were found to share the common feature of appearing as a set of isolated lines, it was observed that each element produces its own unique pattern of lines. This indicated that the light emitted by each element contains a specific set of wavelengths that is characteristic of that element.

Part B What is the wavelength of the line corresponding to t=5 in the Balmer series? Express your answer in nanometers to three significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

A)  λ = 4.88 10² nm,  B)   λ = 4.08 10² nm

Explanation:

The spectrum of hydrogen is correctly explained by the Bohr model, where the energy of each level is

          Eₙ = -13.606 /n²       [eV]

the transition generally occurs from a given level to a lower state nf <no, so a transition is

          ΔE = E_f -Eₙ = -13,606 ( [tex]\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_o^2}[/tex] )

to find the wavelength let's use the planck relation

          ΔE = h f

the speed of light is

          c = λ f

we substitute

          ΔE = h c /λ

          λ = [tex]\frac{h \ c}{ \Delta \lambda}[/tex]

       

let's apply this equation to our case

the Balmer series has as final state the level n_f = 2

A) initial state n₀ = 4, final state n_f = 2

         ΔE = -13.606 ( [tex]\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{4^2}[/tex] )

         ΔE = 2.55 eV

let's reduce to SI units

         ΔE = 2.55 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV) = 4.08 10⁻¹⁹ J

     

we calculate

         λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 4.08 10⁻¹⁹

         λ = 4.875 10⁻⁻⁷ m

we reduce to nm

         λ = 4.875 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)

         λ = 487.5 nm

we reduce to three significant figures

         λ = 4.88 10² nm

B) initial state n₀ = 5

          ΔE = -13,606 ( [tex]\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{5^2}[/tex] )

          ΔE = 2,857 eV

we repeat the process of the previous point

         ΔE= 2,857 1.6 10⁺¹⁹ = 4.286 10⁻¹⁹J

we look for the wavelength

           λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 4.88 10⁻¹⁹

           λ = 4.0758 10⁻⁷ m

we reduce to nm

           λ = 4.0758 10² nm

Answers

Answer:

d = 11.1 m

Explanation:

Since the inclined plane is frictionless, this is just a simple application of the conservation law of energy:

[tex] \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} = mgh[/tex]

Let d be the displacement along the inclined plane. Note that the height h in terms of d and the angle is as follows:

[tex] \sin(15) = \frac{h}{d} \\ or \: h = d \sin(15) [/tex]

Plugging this into the energy conservation equation and cancelling m, we get

Solving for d,

[tex]d = \frac{ {v}^{2} }{2g \sin(15) } = \frac{ {(7.5 \: \frac{m}{s}) }^{2} }{2(9.8 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} })(0.259)} \\ = 11.1 \: m[/tex]

The perpendicular force that a surface applies to an item is known as the normal force. FN = m ⋅ g

What is Normal force?

The perpendicular force that a surface applies to an item is known as the normal force. For instance, if you place a book on a table, a gravitational force will cause it to fall. The table pulls on the book in order to counterbalance this force and keep it from dropping. The normal force, often known as the opposing force, is denoted by the symbols FN F N or  NN. "N" stands for the normal force unit (Newton).

A common illustration of Newton's third rule of motion is the normal force.

When one object applies force to another, the other applies a force in the opposite direction and of equal magnitude to the first object (action equals reaction).

Therefore, the force applied by the item to the surface is equal to the normal force. The calculations change according to the surface's slope.

The formula is as follows for an object laying on a flat surface:

FN = m ⋅ g

where

The mass of an object is m.

Gravitational acceleration is denoted by g.

The normal force (FN F N ) for an item on a flat surface is equal to its gravitational force, according to Newton's third law ( WW).

Answers

Proxima Centauri otherwise known as Alpha Centauri C, is the closest star to our solar system, located about 4.24 light-years away. It was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes, the director of the Union Observatory in South Africa. Innes identified Proxima Centauri as a possible member of the Alpha Centauri system after noticing that the star had a similar proper motion to Alpha Centauri A and B.

Proxima Centauri was first observed through telescopes, which allowed scientists to study the star's spectra and estimate its distance from Earth. In the following decades, scientists continued to study Proxima Centauri through telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, which provided high-resolution images of the star.

In 2016, the European Southern Observatory announced the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting Proxima Centauri, called Proxima Centauri b. This discovery was made using the radial velocity method, which measures the star's small wobbles caused by the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet.

What are the major challenges facing the discovery of Proxima Centauri?

Despite the advances in our understanding of Proxima Centauri, no spacecraft have ever reached this star. The distance between Proxima Centauri and Earth is so vast that it would take tens of thousands of years to reach the star using current propulsion technology.

One potential solution to this problem is the use of interstellar travel, which would allow humans to travel to Proxima Centauri within a human lifetime. There are several proposed methods for interstellar travel, including using a starship propelled by fusion engines or a massive light sail pushed by a beam of lasers. However, these technologies are still in the theoretical stage and have not yet been developed.

There are also many other challenges that must be overcome in order for humans to travel to Proxima Centauri. For example, humans would need to find a way to protect themselves from the high levels of radiation that they would be exposed to during the journey. They would also need to find a way to provide enough food, water, and other resources to sustain themselves for the duration of the trip.

Overall, while it is theoretically possible for humans to travel to Proxima Centauri, it would be a massive undertaking that would require significant technological advancements and the development of new solutions to many challenges.

What is the efficiency of an engine that exhausts 440 J of heat to a cold reservoir and receives 570 J of heat from a hot reservoir? *

Answers

Answer:

Efficiency = 77%

Explanation:

Input energy = 570 J

Output energy = 440 J

To find the efficiency;

[tex] Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100 [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] Efficiency = \frac {440}{570} * 100 [/tex]

[tex] Efficiency = 0.7719 * 100 [/tex]

Efficiency = 77.19 ≈ 77%

Therefore, the efficiency of the engine is 77 percent.

Imagine that you are observing the region of space where a cloud of gas and dust is beginning to collapse inward to form a star (the object that initially forms in this process is called a protostar). Will the atoms in the collapsing cloud move away from one another, move closer to one another, or stay at the same locations? 2) What physical interaction, or force, causes the atoms to behave as you described they would in Question 1?

Answers

Answer:

1. The atoms in the collapsing cloud would move closer to one another.

2. Gravity

Explanation:

1. This is because there is a force of attraction between the atoms of the collapsing cloud. Thus, the atoms in the collapsing cloud would move closer to one another.

2. This is because gravity is the force of attraction between masses. Now, the collapsing cloud of dust contains mass of atoms, and as the atoms come together due to gravity, they form a larger mass which develops into a star.

(a) The atoms in the collapsing cloud would move closer to one another.

(b)  Due to the force of interaction between masses that is gravity

What is force of attraction?

(a) The atoms will come closer

This is because there is a force of attraction between the atoms of the collapsing cloud. Thus, the atoms in the collapsing cloud would move closer to one another.

(b) Due to the gravitational attraction

This is because gravity is the force of attraction between masses. Now, the collapsing cloud of dust contains mass of atoms, and as the atoms come together due to gravity, they form a larger mass which develops into a star.

Hence

(a) The atoms in the collapsing cloud would move closer to one another.

(b)  Due to the force of interaction between masses that is gravity

______is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change regardless
of location
__________which one
Friction
Mass
Weight

Answers

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

The weight of an object is dependent upon the mass and the value of acceleration due to gravity:

W = mg

Since the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) changes from planet to planet. Hence, the weight of an object also changes with location.

Friction depends upon the material of surfaces and the weight.

F = (coefficient of friction)W

Since weight changes with location. Therefore, the friction also changes with location.

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter contained in the body. It remains constant anywhere in the universe.

Hence, the correct option is:

Mass
