Answer:

The weight of body is 1.3040 gram.

Explanation:

Given that,

The weight y of a fiddler crab is directly proportional to the 1.25 power of the weight x of its claws.

Suppose a crab with a body weight of 1.8 gram has claws weighing 1.1 gram.

Estimate the weight of a fiddler crab with claws weighing 0.85 gram.

Determine the weight of crab body

We need to calculate the value of proportional constant

$y\propto x^{1.25}$

$y=kx^{1.25}$

$k=\dfrac{y}{x^{1.25}}$

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{1.8}{1.1^{1.25}}$

$k=1.5978$

We need to calculate the crab weight

$y=kx^{1.25}$

Here, x = 0.85 g

Put the value into the formula

$y=1.5978\times(0.85)^{1.25}$

$y=1.3040\ gram$

Hence, The weight of body is 1.3040 gram.

A Ferris wheel with a 15-m radius makes three complete revolutions in one minute about its horizontal axis. What is the magnitud

Kay [80]

Answer:

$1.48 m/s^2$ , upward

Explanation:

The passenger on the wheel experiences a centripetal acceleration, which is the one that keeps him in a circular motion.

The direction of this acceleration is always towards the centre of the circular trajectory: so when the passenger is at the lowest point of the ride, the acceleration is upward.

Concerning the magnitude, it is given by

$a=\omega^2 r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r = 15 m is the radius

We need to find the angular velocity; we know that the wheel completes 3 revolutions in one minute. Each revolution corresponds to an angle of $2\pi$ rad, so the total angular displacement is

$\theta = 3 \cdot 2\pi = 6\pi$ rad

And the time is

$t = 1 min = 60 s$

So the angular velocity is

$\omega = \frac{6\pi}{60 s}=0.314 rad/s$

And substituting into the equation of the acceleration,

$a=(0.314)^2(15)=1.48 m/s^2$

The radius of the sphere is (4.3+-0.1)cm. the % error in the vol is???

nevsk [136]

The maximum error in its radius is (0.1) / (4.3) .

We know that volume is proportional to (radius)³, so the error in
volume is proportional to (error in radius)³ .

[ 1 + 0.1/4.3 ]³ = 1.0714

The max volume error is 7.14 %

Explain how you would find the specific wavelength of a light source using a diffraction grating?

Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

Using diffraction grating

Considering the expression:

$d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda$

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

The formula can be written as:

$sin\theta=\frac {\lambda}{d}\times m$ ....1

The location of the bright fringe is determined by :

$y=L\times tan\theta$

Where, L is the distance between the slit and the screen.

For small angle , $sin\theta=tan\theta$

So,

Formula becomes:

$y=L\times sin\theta$

Using 1, we get:

$y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times m$

By finding the distance between the first fringe (m = 1) fringe and the central maximum (y) , wavelength can be calculated as the distance between slit and scree (L) and the distance between the slits (d) are known in an experiment.
