A 72.8-kg swimmer is standing on a stationary 265-kg floating raft. The swimmer then runs off the raft horizontally with a veloc
nalin [4]

Answer:

-1.43 m/s relative to the shore

Explanation:

Total momentum must be conserved before and after the run. Since they were both stationary before, their total speed, and momentum, is 0, so is the total momentum after the run off:

m_sv_s + m_rv_r = 0

where m_s = 72.8, m_r = 265 are the mass of the swimmer and raft, respectively. v_s = 5.21 m/s, v_r are the velocities of the swimmer and the raft after the run, respectively. We can solve for v_r

265v_r + 72.8*5.21 = 0

v_b = -72.8*5.21/265 = -1.43 m/s

So the recoil velocity that the raft would have is -1.43 m/s after the swimmer runs off, relative to the shore

Atoms of two different elements must have different
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Number of neautrons

Explanation:

Atoms from two different elements may have the same number of neutrons, but never the same number of protons. The number of protons is unique to the element and represents the atomic number. (sorcastic.org)

Accelerating charges radiate electromagnetic waves. Calculate the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton of mass mp moving
Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Let m_p is the mass of proton. It is moving in a circular path perpendicular to a magnetic field of magnitude B.

The magnetic force is balanced by the centripetal force acting on the proton as :

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=qvB

r is the radius of path,

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

Time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

T=\dfrac{2\pi m_p}{qB}

Frequency of proton is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{qB}{2\pi m_p}

The wavelength of radiation is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi m_pc}{qB}

So, the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton is \dfrac{2\pi m_pc}{qB}. Hence, this is the required solution.

65. A length of wire is bent into a closed loop and a magnet is plunged into it, inducing a voltage and, consequently, a current
natulia [17]

Answer:

Resistance of the second wire is twice the first wire.

Explanation:

Let us first see the formula of resistance;

R = pxL/A

Here L is the lenght of the wire, A the area and p is the resistivity of wire.

As we are given that the length of second wire is double than that of the first wire, hence the resistance of second wire would be double.

Since we have two loop in second case, inducing double voltage but as resistance is doubled so the current would remain same according to ohms law

I = V/R
