Answer:

B) AU is increased by 3,000,000 miles every 15 years

Explanation:

Statement B is wrong because the AU (Astronomical Unit, which is defined as the distance between the centre of the Sun and the centre of the Earth) is approximately constant.

To be more precise, the distance between the Earth and the Sun increases approximately by 15 cm every year. This means that after 15 years, the AU will be increased by

15 cm x 15 = 225 cm = 2.25 m

Which is totally different from 3,000,000 miles of statement B. Therefore, this statement is wrong.

a person can throw a 300 gram ball at 25 m/s the maximum height the person can throw the ball on Earth?​
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Elevation =31.85[m]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of energy conservation. This consists of transforming kinetic energy into potential energy or vice versa. For this specific case is the transformation of kinetic energy to potential energy.

We need to first identify all the input data, and establish a condition or a point where the potential energy is zero.

The point where the ball is thrown shall be taken as a reference point of potential energy.

E_{p} = E_{k} \\where:\\E_{p}= potential energy [J]\\ E_{k}= kinetic energy [J]

m = mass of the ball = 300 [gr] = 0.3 [kg]

v = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}  * m* v^{2} \\E_{k}= \frac{1}{2} * 0.3* (25)^{2} \\E_{k}= 93.75 [J]

93.75=m*g*h\\where:\\g = gravity = 9.81 [m/s^2]\\h = elevation [m]\\replacing\\h=\frac{E_{k}}{m*g} \\h=\frac{93.75}{.3*9.81} \\h=31.85[m]

A system consists of N particles that can occupy two energy levels: a nondegenerate ground state and a three-fold degenerate exc
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Ng = 0.893 N,  Ne = 0.107N

Explanation:

Number of particles in Ground state = Ng

Number of particles in Excited state = Ne

Ne/Ng = e^{(-ΔE)/kt}

Since excited state is 3 fold degenerate

Ne/Ng =3 x e^{(-ΔE)/kt}

ΔE = Energy difference between ground and excited states = 0.25eV

T = 960 K

Constant k = 8.617 x 10^-5 eV/K

Ne/Ng = 3 x e^{-0.25/(8.617x10^-5) x 960}

           = 3 x e^(-3.188645)

           = 3 x 0.0412 = 0.1237 ≅ 0.12

Ne = 0.12 Ng

but Ne + Ng = N, where is N is total number of particles, substituting Ne into equation we get,

Ng(1 + 0.12) = N

Ng = N/1.12 = 0.893N

and Ne = 0.12 x 0.893 N = 0.107 N

A stretched string has a mass per unit length of 5.12 g/cm and a tension of 19.3 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has an ampl
Sati [7]

Answer:

a. 0.143 mm b. 77.6 rad/m c. 483.18 rad/s  d. +1

Explanation:

a. ym

Since the amplitude is 0.143 mm, ym = amplitude = 0.143 mm

b. k

We know k = wave number = 2π/λ where λ = wavelength.

Also, λ = v/f where v = speed of wave in string = √(T/μ) where T = tension in string = 19.3 N and μ = mass per unit length = 5.12 g/cm = 5.12 ÷ 1000 kg/(1 ÷ 100 m) = 0.512 kg/m and f = frequency = 76.9 Hz.

So, λ = v/f = √(T/μ)/f

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

λ = √(T/μ)/f

= √(19.6 N/0.512 kg/m)/76.9 Hz

= √(38.28 Nkg/m)/76.9 Hz

= 6.187 m/s ÷ 76.9 Hz

= 0.081 m

= 81 mm

So, k = 2π/λ

= 2π/0.081 m

= 77.6 rad/m

c. ω

ω = angular frequency = 2πf where f = frequency of wave = 76.9 Hz

So, ω = 2πf

= 2π × 76.9 Hz

= 483.18 rad/s

d. The correct choice of sign in front of ω?

Since the wave is travelling in the negative x - direction, the sign in front of ω is positive. That is +1.
