Answer:

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

latitude = 40 degree

to find out

Calculate the acceleration of a person

solution

we know that here 40 degree = 0.698 rad

acceleration of person = g - ω²R ...............1

and 1 rotation complete in 24 hours = 360 degree

here g is 9.81

so we know Earth angular speed ω = 7.27 × $10^{-5}$ rad/s and R is earth radius that is 6.37 × $10^{6}$ m

put here value in equation 1 we get

acceleration of person = g - ω²R

acceleration of person = 9.81 - (7.27 × $10^{-5}$ )² × 6.37 × $10^{6}$

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

what is the necessary condition within the hydrogen atom for balmer line photons to be absorbed by the hydrogen atom

luda_lava [24]

Explanation :

When an electron jumps from one energy level to another, the energy of atom gets changed.

If a photon gets absorbed, the electron will move to higher energy levels and then fall back to the lower energy levels. Then each time a photon will be absorbed whose energy is given by difference between the initial and final energy levels i.e

In Balmer series, the transition is from higher energy levels to n = 2.

So, the necessary condition for Balmer series is that the electron should be at first excited state or n = 2 level as shown in figure.

A flat sheet is in the shape of a rectangle with sides of lengths 0.400 m and 0.600 m. The sheet is immersed in a uniform electr

Katen [24]

Answer:

ФE = 9.403W

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude of the electric flux trough the sheet, you use the following formula:

$\Phi_E=\vec{A}\cdot \vec{E}=AEcos\theta$ (1)

A: area of the rectangular sheet = (0.400m)(0.600m) = 0.24m^2

E: magnitude of the electric field = 95.0N/C

θ: angle between the direction of the electric field and the normal to the surface of the sheet

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

$\Phi_E=(0.24m^2)(95.0N/m)cos(20\°)=9.304W$

The magnitude of the electric flux is trough the sheet is 9.403W

g a mass of 1.3 kg is pushed horizontally against a massless spring with a spring constant of 58 n/m until the spring compresses

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: $1.102\ J$

Explanation:

Given

Mass $m=1.3\ kg$

Spring constant $k=58\ N/m$

Compression in the spring $x=19.5\ cm\ or\ 0.195\ m$

When the mass leaves the spring, the elastic potential energy of spring is being converted into kinetic energy of mass i.e.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 58\cdot (0.195)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=1.102\ J$

The kinetic energy of the mass is 1.102 J.

Coherent light with wavelength = 600 nm falls on two very narrow closely spaced slits and the interference pattern is observed o

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 1.2mm.

Explanation:

The physicist Thomas Young establishes, through its double slit experiment, a relationship between the interference (constructive or destructive) of a wave, the separation between the slits, the distance between the two slits to the screen and the wavelength.

$\Lambda x = L\frac{\lambda}{d}$ (1)

Where $\Lambda x$ is the distance between two adjacent maxima, L is the distance of the screen from the slits, $\lambda$ is the wavelength and d is the separation between the slits.

If light pass through two slits a diffraction pattern in a screen will be gotten, at which each bright region corresponds to a crest, a dark region to a trough, as consequence of constructive interference and destructive interference in different points of its propagation to the screen.

Therefore, d can be isolated from equation 1.

$d = L\frac{\lambda}{\Lambda x}$ (2)
