Astronauts on the first trip to Mars take along a pendulumthat has a period on earth of 1.50 {\rm s}. The period on Mars turns o

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

3.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the free-fall acceleration on the planet.

In this problem, we know that the period of the pendulum on Earth is:

$T_e = 1.50 s$

while the period of the same pendulum on Mars is

$T_m = 2.45 s$

And since the length of the pendulum L does not change, we can write:

$\frac{T_e}{T_m}=\frac{2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_e}}}{2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_m}}}=\sqrt{\frac{g_m}{g_e}}$

where

$g_e = 9.8 m/s^2$ is the free-fall acceleration on Earth

$g_m = ?$ is the free-fall acceleration on Mars

Re-arranging the equation and substituting numbers, we find:

$g_m = \frac{T_e^2}{T_m^2}g_e=\frac{(1.50 s)^2}{(2.45 s)^2}(9.8 m/s^2)=3.7 m/s^2$

The heater element of a 120 V toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. The resistivity of nichrome

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The power drawn by the toaster is closest to:

(A) 370 W

Explanation:

First we calculate the resistance of the nichrome wire (R).

$R=\frac{pL}{A} =\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } \\$

Where radious (r), resistance coefficient (p), and Length (L)

$r=\frac{0.48}{2} 10^{-3} m\\\\L=5.4 m\\p=1.3*10^{-3}\varOmega \\\\\\Replacing:\\\\R=\frac{1.3(10)^{-6} *5.4}{\pi* 0.24^{2} (10)^{-6}} =38.7940$

After replace the value in the ohm law power formula to obtain the power consumed:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R} =\frac{120^2}{38.7940} =371.191 Watts$

What is the total magnification for each lens setting on a microscope with 15x oculars and 4x, 10x, 45x, and 97x objectives lens

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

M = 60x

M = 150x

M = 675x

M = 1455 x

Explanation:

In a microscope the total magnification is found by multiplying the magnification of the ocular (eye piece) and objective lens.

$m_e$ =Ocular magnification = 15x

$m_o$ =Objective magnification = 4x

Total magnification

$M=m_e\times m_o\\\Rightarrow M=15\times 4\\\Rightarrow M=60x$

M = 60x

$M=m_e\times m_o\\\Rightarrow M=15\times 10\\\Rightarrow M=150x$

M = 150x

$M=m_e\times m_o\\\Rightarrow M=15\times 45\\\Rightarrow M=675x$

M = 675x

$M=m_e\times m_o\\\Rightarrow M=15\times 97\\\Rightarrow M=1455x$

M = 1455 x
