Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, $m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg$

Mass of the truck, $m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg$

Initial velocity of the car, $u_1=22\ m/s$

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2$

$v_2=15.7\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).

An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm

61. A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigerator that runs with a current of 3.00 A

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Part a)

$percentage = 21.3$ %

Part b)

$percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}$ %

Explanation:

As we know that total power used in the room is given as

$P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + P_4$

here we have

$P_1 = (110)(3) = 330 W$

$P_2 = 100 W$

$P_3 = 60 W$

$P_4 = 3 W$

$P = 330 + 100 + 60 + 3$

$P = 493 W$

Part a)

Since power supply is at 110 Volt so the current obtained from this supply is given as

$110\times i = 493$

$i = 4.48 A$

now resistance of transmission line

$R = \frac{\rho L}{A}$

$R = \frac{(2.8 \times 10^{-8})(10\times 10^3)}{\pi(4.126\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$R = 5.23 \ohm$

now power loss in line is given as

$P = i^2 R$

$P = (4.48)^2(5.23)$

$P = 105 W$

Now percentage loss is given as

$percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100$

$percentage = \frac{105}{493} \times 100$

$percentage = 21.3$ %

Part b)

now same power must have been supplied from the supply station at 110 kV, so we have

$110 \times 10^3 (i ) = 493$

$i = 4.48\times 10^{-3} A$

now power loss in line is given as

$P = i^2 R$

$P = (4.48 \times 10^{-3})^2(5.23)$

$P = 1.05 \times 10^{-4} W$

Now percentage loss is given as

$percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100$

$percentage = \frac{1.05 \times 10^{-4}}{493} \times 100$

$percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}$ %

The second minimum in the diffraction pattern of a 0.11-mm-wide slit occurs at 0.72°. What is the wavelength of the light?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

691.13 nm

Explanation:

d = width of the slit = 0.11 x 10⁻³ m

θ = angle of diffraction pattern = 0.72° degree

λ = wavelength of the light = ?

m = order = 2 (since second minimum)

for the second minimum diffraction pattern we use the equation

d Sinθ = m λ

Inserting the values

(0.11 x 10⁻³) Sin0.72 = (2) λ

λ = 691.13 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 691.13 nm

According to perception of movement, in order to sense movement, humans need to see an object _____.

lesya692 [45]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- a. change its position relative to other objects.

Perception of motion can be described as a phenomenon of inferring the direction and speed and of objects, which are moving in a visual scene.

An object is said to be in motion if its position is changed with respect to objects that are present in its surrounding.

Thus, in order to sense motion of objects, humans beings are required to see an object change its position with respect to other objects.
