What are some sources of error in a refraction lab using pins and a glass block?

Den pushes a desk 400 cm across the floor. He exerts a force of 10 N for 8 s to move the desk.

stellarik [79]

Answer: The correct option is Option b.

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of work done by an object.

Mathematically,

$P=\frac{W}{t}$ .....(1)

And work done is the product of force exerted on the object times the displacement covered by that object.

Mathematically,

$W=F.s$

Putting this value in above equation, we get:

$P=\frac{F.s}{t}$

where,

P = power = ?W

F = Force exerted = 10N

s = Displacement = 400cm = 4m (Conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm)

t = Time taken = 8s

Putting values in above equation, we get

$P=\frac{10\times 4}{8}\\\\P=5W$

Hence, the correct option is Option b.

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is less than that on Earth. On Mars, a person will weigh than on Earth.

pantera1 [17]

On mars people would way less.
An example of this is that if I weighed 700 pounds (I don't by the way) I would then weigh 500 pounds or less.

Objects with masses of 165 kg and a 465 kg are separated by 0.340 m. (a) Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objec

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(a) $F_{net}$ = 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N, and its direction is towards $m_{2}$ .

(b) It must be placed inside a hollow shell.

Explanation:

Let, $m_{1}$ = 165 kg, $m_{2}$ = 465 kg, $m_{3}$ = 60 kg, and the distance between $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ is 0.340 m.

(a) Since $m_{3}$ is placed midway between $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , then its distance to both masses is 0.170 m.

From the Newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = $\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where all variables have their usual meaning.

Then,

a. $F_{net}$ = $F_{23}$ - $F_{13}$

$F_{13}$ = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*165*60 }{(0.17)^{2} }$

= 2.25 x $10^{-5}$ N

$F_{23}$ = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*465*60 }{(0.17)^{2} }$

= 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ N

∴ $F_{net}$ = = 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ - 2.25 x $10^{-5}$

= 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N

The net force exerted by the two masses on the 60 kg object is 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N.

(ii) / $F_{net}$ / = / $F_{23}$ / - / $F_{13}$ /

= 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ - 2.25 x $10^{-5}$

= 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N

(iii) The direction of the net force is to the right i.e towards $m_{2}$ .

(b) For the net force experienced by the 60 kg object to be zero, it must be placed inside a hollow shell.

A newly discovered particle, the SPARTYON, has a mass 945 times that of an electron. If a SPARTYON at rest absorbs an anti-SPART

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$\nu =1166\times 10^{20}Hz$

Explanation:

We have given the rest mass of SPARTYON = 945 times of mass of electron

We know that mass of electron $=9.11\times 10^{-31}kg$

So mass of SPARTYON $=945\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}=8608.95\times 10^{-31}kg$

Speed of light $c=3\times 10^8m/sec$

According to Einstein equation energy is given by

$E=mc^2=8608.95\times 10^{-31}\times (3\times 10^{8})^2=77480.55\times 10^{-15}j$

Now according to planks's rule

Energy is given by

$E=h\nu$ , here h is plank's constant $h=6.6\times 10^{-34}$

So $77480.55\times 10^{-15}=6.6\times 10^{-34}\nu$

$\nu =1166\times 10^{20}Hz$
