(b) Someday a person will walk on Mars, which is 5.6 x 1010 m from earth at the point of closest approach. Determine the minimum time that will be required for that person's voice to reach earth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a). 1.28333 seconds

b). 186.66 seconds

Explanation:

a). Given :

Distance between the earth and the moon, d = [tex]$3.85 \times 10^8$[/tex] m

Speed of the radio waves, c = [tex]$3 \times 10^8$[/tex] m/s

Therefore the time required for the voice of Neil Armstrong to reach the earth via radio waves is given by :

[tex]$t=\frac{d}{c}$[/tex]

 [tex]$=\frac{3.85 \times 10^8}{3 \times 10^8}$[/tex]

 = 1.28333 seconds

b). Distance between Mars and the earth, d = [tex]$5.6 \times 10^{10}$[/tex] m

   Speed of the radio waves, c = [tex]$3 \times 10^8$[/tex] m/s

So, the time required for his voice to reach earth is :

[tex]$t=\frac{d}{c}$[/tex]

 [tex]$=\frac{5.6 \times 10^{10}}{3 \times 10^8}$[/tex]

 = 186.66 seconds

Suppose we have a vacuum with two metal plates separated by 2 meters. One of the plates has a hole in it so that a charged particle coming from the other one can pass through into empty space. ;The plate with a hole is attached to a voltage source of 5,000,000 V and electrons and muons are introduced near the other plate at 0 V. What energies and velocities do the electrons and muons have when they pass through the hole

Answers

Answer:

hello your question has a some missing information below is the missing information

An electron is one of the most fundamental particles in nature. It is everywhere, in all the matter we can see, and it is with electrons that light interacts when it is emitted, absorbed, or scattered in everyday matter. The electron has a more massive cousin called a muon, also with a charge of -1 e, but with a mass of 1.88x10-28 kg. The electron's mass is 9.11x10-31 kg. You can see why a muon is called a "heavy" electron. A muon is also unstable, and left alone at rest in a lab it will turn into an electron, kinetic energy, and two neutrinos with a lifetime of 2.20x10-6 s.

answer :

energy and velocity of Electron : 8*10^-13 J , < 3*10^8 m/s

energy and velocity of Muon :  8*10^-13 J,  9.22 * 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

Determine the energies and velocities of the electrons and Muons when they pass through the hole

i) energy of electron = q1 * V -- ( 1 )

V ( voltage ) = 5 * 10^6 V

q1 ( charge on electron ) = 1.6 * 10^-19 C

back to equation 1 ; energy of electron = ( 1.6 * 10^-19 ) * 5 * 10^6

= 8*10^-13 J

ii) velocity of electron = 1/2 * Me *( Ve)^2

1/2 * Me *( Ve)^2 = 8*10^-13

∴Ve = [tex]\sqrt{(8*10^{-13} )/(9.11*10^{-31} )}[/tex]   <   3*10^8 m/s

iii) energy of muon

= Eu = q*v = 8*10^-13 J

iv ) velocity of Muon = [tex]\sqrt{(8*10^{-13} )/(1.88*10^{-28} )}[/tex]  = 9.22 * 10^7 m/s

One example of angular momentum is someone (like Bill Nye, the Science Guy) on a rotating platform. In a regular year we would have done this in lab ourselves, but since we can't - have a video instead. Assume for now we are talking about when he has his arms pulled in towards his torso and not stretched out. Bill Nye has a mass of 84.0 kg, a height of 1.50 m and a radius of 16.0 cm. He is spinning at a rate of 5.00 rpm (revolutions / minute) by the end of the video. What is his angular momentum based on these numbers

Answers

Answer:

‭0.563 kg-m²/s

Explanation:

Bill Nye's angular momentum L = Iω where I = rotational inertia = 1/2MR² (since we are considering him to be cylinder with his axis of rotation from is top to bottom- that is vertical through his height) where M = his mass = 84.0 kg and R = his radius = 16.0 cm = 0.16 m and ω = angular speed = 5.00 rpm = 5.00 × 2π/60 = π/6 rad/s = 0.524 rad/s

L = Iω

L = 1/2MR²ω

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L = 1/2MR²ω

L = 1/2 × 84.0 kg × (0.16 m)² × 0.524 rad/s

L = 1/2 × 84.0 kg × ‭0.0256‬ m² × 0.524 rad/s

L = 1/2 × ‭1.12681 kg-m²rad/s

L = ‭0.5634 kg-m²rad/s

L ≅ ‭0.563 kg-m²/s

If the girl skater has a mass of 30 kg and moves backward at 5 m/s, what is the velocity or the boy skater
his mass is 50 kg?

Answers

Question: Two people stand facing each other at a roller-skating rink then push off each other. If the girl skater has a mass of 30 kg and moves backward at 5 m/s, what is the velocity of the boy skater if his mass is 50 kg?

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

The Law of conservation of momentum

Momentum of the girl skater = momentum of the boy skater

MV = mv...................... Equation 1

Where M = mass of the girl skater, V = velocity of the girl skater, m = mass of the boy skater, v = velocity of the boy skater

From the question, we were asked to calculate v

v = MV/m.................. Equation 1

Given: M = 30 kg, V = 5 m/s, m = 50 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

v = (30×5)/50

v = 3 m/s

Hence the velocity of the the boy skater is 3m/s

A vertical spring with a spring constant of 420 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained, a 0.15-kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 3.7 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height above the compressed spring was the block dropped

Answers

Answer:

19.53 cm

Explanation:

The computation of the height is as follows:

Here we applied the conservation of the energy formula

As we know that

P.E of the block = P.E of the spring

 m g h = ( 1 ÷ 2) k x^2

where

m = 0.15

g = 9.81

k = 420

x = 0.037

So now put the values to the above formula

(0.15) (9.81) (h) = 1 ÷2 × 420 × (0.037)^2

1.4715 (h) = 0.28749

h = 0.19537 m

= 19.53 cm

If the acceleration of the body is towards the center, what is the direction of the unbalanced force ? Using a complete sentence , describe the direction of the net force that causes the body to travel in a circle at a constant speed.

Answers

Accelerating objects are changing their velocity. Velocity is often thought of as an object's speed with a direction. Thus, objects which are accelerating are either changing their speed or changing their direction. They are either speeding up, slowing down or changing directions. Changing the velocity in any one of these three ways would be an example of an accelerated motion.

Answers

Answer:

83.3 m

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying on of the formula of velocity

V = d/t.................. Equation 1

Where V = average velocity, d = distance, t = time.

make d the subject of the equation

d = V×t................. Equation 2

Given: V = 9.8 m/s, t = 8.5 s

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = 9.8×8.5

d = 83.3 m

Hence the total distance covered by the rabbit is 83.3 m

In the process of nuclear fusion the union of light nuclear produces heavier nuclei, this process is still in the experimental phase and there are no commercial reactors for the production of electricity.

Checking the different statements is correct :

Fission reactors are used to generate electricity, but fusion is not yet practical enough to be used

Nuclear fission reactors are used to generate electricity, but fusion is not yet practical enough to be used.

A particle cannot generally be localized to distances much smaller than its de Broglie wavelength. This means that a slow neutron appears to be larger to a target particle than does a fast neutron, in the sense that the slow neutron will probably be found over a large volume of space. For a thermal neutron at room temperature (300 K), find (a) the linear momentum and (b) the de Broglie wavelength. Compare this effective neutron size with both nuclear and atomic dimensions.

Answers

Answer:

a)   p = 1.381 10⁻²⁹ kg m / s, b)  λ = 4.80 10⁻⁵ m,

c)  λ/a₀ = 9.6 10⁴ = 10⁵,   λ/aₙ = 4.80 10⁹

Explanation:

a) as the neutral goes at speeds much lower than the speed of light we can use the classical relationships, as the neutral all the thermal energy is the energy of the neutron

           E = p c

           K T = pc

           p = k T / c

           p = [tex]\frac{ 1.381 \ 10^{-23} \ 300}{3 \ 10^8}[/tex]

           p = 1.381 10⁻²⁹ kg m / s

b) the expression for the de Broglie wavelength

          p = h / λ

          λ = h / p

          λ =[tex]\frac{ 6.63 \ 10^{-34} }{1.381 \ 10^{-29}}[/tex]

          λ = 4.80 10⁻⁵ m

c) let's compare this size with the size of atoms a₀ = 0.5 10⁻⁹ m

         λ/a₀ = [tex]\frac{ 4.80 \ 10^{-5} }{0.5 \ 10^{-9}}[/tex]

         λ/a₀ = 9.6 10⁴ = 10⁵

c) let's compare with the atomic nucleus size aₙ = 10⁻¹⁴ m

          λ/aₙ = [tex]\frac{4.80 \ 10^{-5} }{10^{-14} }[/tex]

In the areas that are getting more rays from the sun, it gets warmer.  Think about it like this, because the earth is tilted, part of it is more in the shade and part of it is more in the light. And its colder in the shade, so thats why seasons happen and why they dont happen at the same time.
