A 2.0 kg puck is at rest on a level table. It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go. H
lukranit [14]

Answer:

d = 6.32 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a puck, m = 2 kg

It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go.

We need to find the distance covered by the puck when move from rest in 2.25 s.

We know that,

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\a=2.5\ m/s^2

Let d is the distance moved in 2.25 s. Using second equation of motion,

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times (2.25)^2\\\\d=6.32\ m

So, it will move 6.32 m from rest in 2.25 seconds.

An earth satellite travels in a circular orbit at 20,000 mph if the radius of the orbit is 4,300 mi what angular velocity is gen
Bumek [7]

Answer:

0.00129rad/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity is expressed as;

v = wr

w is the angular velocity

r is the radius

Given

v =  20,000 mph

r = 4300mi

Get w;

w = v/r

w = 20000* 0.44704/4300*1609.34

w = 8940.8/6,920,162

w = 0.00129rad/s

Hence the angular velocity generated is 0.00129rad/s

A wire is oriented along the x-axis. It is connected to two batteries, and a conventional current of 2.6 A runs through the wire
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, the magnitude of magnetic force is given as;

|F_{mg}^> | = I(B^> × L^> )

given that

I = 2.6 A

B^> = 0.17

L^> = 0.52

so we substitute

|F_{mg}^> | = 2.6( 0.17i" × 0.52j" )

|F_{mg}^> | = 0.2298 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of 32^{\circ} (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let v_{1} denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let v_{\text{air}} denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of \theta_{1} to the normal and exited with an angle of \theta_{\text{air}}. By Snell's Law, the sine of \theta_{1}\! and \theta_{\text{air}}\! would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}.

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle \theta_{c}, total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now 90^{\circ}. (in this case, \theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}.)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}.

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1}).

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For 0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}, \sin(\theta) is monotonically increasing with respect to \theta. In other words, for \!\theta in that range, the value of \sin(\theta)\! increases as the value of \theta\! increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with \theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}, the medium with the larger critical angle \theta_{c} = 32^{\circ} would have a larger \sin(\theta_{c}). such that light would travel faster in that medium.
