You place a 3.0-m-long board symmetrically across a 0.5-m-wide chair to seat three physics students at a party at your house. If

60-kg Dan sits on the left end of the board and 50-kg Tahreen on the right end of the board, where should 54-kg Komila sit to keep the board stable? Ignore the mass of the board and treat each student as point-like objects The positive r-direction is to the right, and the origin is at the center of the chair
Part A Determine the coordinate of the leftmost point on the board where Komila can sit to keep the board stable
Part B Determine the coordinate of the rightmost point on the board where Komila can sit to keep the board stable

Answer:

A) for leftmost point the coordinate is -0.28m that means it should be 0.28m towards the right.

B) for rightmost case the coordinate is 0.28m which is where komila should sit.

Answer:

3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

Explanation:

Given:

The radiations are UV radiation.

The frequency of the radiations absorbed (f) = 9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz

The wavelength of the radiations absorbed (λ) = ?

We know that, the speed of ultraviolet radiations is same as speed of light.

So, speed of UV radiation (v) = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Now, we also know that, the speed of the electromagnetic radiation is related to its frequency and wavelength and is given as:

v=f\lambda

Now, expressing the above equation in terms of wavelength 'λ', we have:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'λ'. This gives,

\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\times 10^{6}\ \mu m\ [1\ m=10^6\ \mu m]\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-1}=0.32\ \mu m

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiations absorbed by the ozone is nearly 3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

What is the difference between continuous and a discontinuous spectrum?
aleksklad [387]
A continuous spectrum contains all the wavelengths 

A discontinuous spectrum has strips of specific colors and can be used to identify the elements making it.

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use which type of satellite system?
inessss [21]

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use "Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The umbrella term for all global satellite tracking systems is GNSS i.e Global Satellite Navigation System. This involves satellite constellations circulating over the surface of the earth and continuous signal transmission that allow users to evaluate their location.

A satellite array of 18–30 medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites distributed across several orbital planes typically achieves greater coverage for each network. The specific systems differ, but use > 50 ° orbital inclinations and approximately twelve hours orbital cycles.

Solve this physics for me <br>please with steps<br>​
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The answers are located in each of the explanations showed below

Explanation:

a)

(i) Surface Tension: The tensile force that causes this tension acts parallel to the surface and is due to the forces of attraction between the molecules of the liquid. The magnitude of this force per unit of length is called surface tension.

σ = F/l [N/m]

where:

F = force [N]

l = length [m]

σ = Surface Tension [N/m]

(ii) Frequency is the number of repetitions per unit of time of any periodic event.

f = 1/T [1/s] or [s^-1] or [Hz]

where:

T = period [s] or [seconds]

f = frecuency [Hz] or [hertz]

(iii) Each of the units will be shown for each variable

v = velocity [m/s]

a = accelertion [m/s^2]

s = displacement [m]

[\frac{m}{s} ]^{2} =[\frac{m}{s} ]^{2} + 2* [\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]*[m]\\

[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ] =[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ] +  [\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } ]

[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ]

b) To find the velocity we must derivate the function X with respect to t because this derivate will give us the equation for the velocity, it means:

v=\frac{dx}{dt} \\v = 0.75*2*t+5*t

(i) X = 0.75*t^{2} +5*t+1\\X = 0.75*(4)^{2} +5*(4)+1\\X = 33 [m]

ii) replacing in the derivated equation.

v=1.5*(4)+5\\v=11[m/s]

iii) the average velocity is defined by the expresion v = x/t

v = \frac{x-x_{0} }{t-t_{0} } \\

x_{0}=0.75(2)^{2}+5(2)+1 \\ x_{0}=14[m]\\x=0.75(7)^{2}+5(7)+1\\x=72.75[m]\\t = 7 [s]t0= 2[s]Now replacing:[tex]v_{prom} = \frac{72.75-14}{7-2} \\v_{prom} = 11.75 [m/s]

a) Pascal's principle or Pascal's law, where the pressure exerted on an incompressible fluid and in balance within a container of indeformable walls is transmitted with equal intensity in all directions and at all points of the fluid.

Therefore:

P1 = pressure at point 1.

P2 = pressure at point 2.

P1 = F1/A1

P2= F2/A2

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }=\frac{F_{2}}{A_{2} }  \\F_{1}=A_{1}*(\frac{F_{2}}{A_{2} })

b) One of the applications of the surface tension is the <u>capillarity</u> this is a property of liquids that depends on their surface tension (which, in turn, depends on the cohesion or intermolecular force of the liquid), which gives them the ability to climb or descend through a capillary tube.

Other examples of surface tension:

The mosquitoes that can sit on the water.

A clip on the water.

Some leaves that remain floating on the surface.

Some soaps and detergents on the water.
