Does every light source emit only one type of light?
blsea [12.9K]

Yes it is possible. Spectrum of emitted light depends upon the chemical composition of the source. and the way of its excitation. a clear example to us is that of sun.

A solid, horizontal cylinder of mass 18.0 kg and radius 1.70.0 m rotates with an angular speed of 40 rad/s about a fixed vertica
Radda [10]

Answer:39.88 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of cylinder m_1=18 kg

radius R=1.7 m

angular speed \omega =40rad/s

mass of m_2=0.8 kg dropped at r=0.3 m from center

let \omega _2 be the final angular velocity of cylinder

Conserving Angular momentum

L_1=L_2

\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}\right )\omega =\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}+m_2r^2\right )\omega _2

\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}\right )\cdot 40=\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}+0.8\cdot 0.3^2\right )\omega _2

26.01\times 40=26.082\times \omega _2

\omega _2=39.88 rad/s

*A car is going through a dip in the road whose curvature approximates a circle of radius 150m. At what velocity will the occupa
Valentin [98]

Answer:

v= 14.85 m/s

Explanation:

  • When at the bottom of the dip, the only force that keeps the car in the circular trajectory, is the centripetal force.
  • This force is not a new force, is just the net force aiming to the center of the circle.
  • In this case, is just the difference between the normal force (always perpendicular to the surface, pointing upward) and the force that gravity exerts on the car (which is known as the weight), pointing downward.
  • So, we can write the following expression:

       F_{cent} = F_{n} - F_{g}  (1)

  • It can be showed that the centripetal force is related to the speed by the following expression:
  • F_{cent} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)
  • The normal force, it is called the apparent weight, because it would be the weight as measured by a scale.
  • Replacing (2) in (1), and solving for Fn, we get:

       F_{n} = m*\frac{v^{2} }{r} + m*g (3)

  • Now, we need to find the value of v that makes Fn, exactly 15% more than the weight m*g, so we can write the following equation:

      F_{n} = 1.15*F_{g} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} +F_{g}  (4)

  • Replacing Fg by its value, simplifying, and solving for v, we get:

       v = \sqrt{0.15*g*r} = \sqrt{9.8 m/s2*0.15*150m} = 14.85 m/s (5)
