Answer:θ = (x/y) x 100.

where x = UFP -LFP -another scale, and y = UFP - LFP for celsius scale.

=> {(45-30)/(180-30)} x 100 = 10.0oC

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 530 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.7 ns . When a sla

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength of light in the air, $\lambda=530\times 10^{-9}\ m$

time taken to travel from the source to the photocell via air, $t=16.7\ s$

time taken to reach the photocell via air and glass slab, $t'=21.3\times 10^{-9}\ s$

thickness of the glass slab, $x=0.87\ m$

<u>Now we have the relation for time:</u>

$\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

hence,

$t=\frac{d}{c}$

c= speed of light in air

$16.7\times 10^{-9}=\frac{d}{3\times 10^8}$

$d=16.7\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^8$

$d=5.01\ m$

For the case when glass slab is inserted between the path of light:

$\frac{(d-x)}{c} +\frac{x}{v} =t'$ (since light travel with the speed c only in the air)

here:

v = speed of light in the glass

$\frac{(5.01-0.87)}{3\times 10^8} +\frac{0.87}{v} =21.3\times 10^{-9}$

$v=4.42\times 10^7\ m.s^{-1}$

Using Snell's law:

$\frac{\lambda}{\lambda'} =\frac{c}{v}$

$\frac{530}{\lambda'} =\frac{3\times 10^8}{4.42\times 10^7}$

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

g ≈ 7.4 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on planet XX is ...

g = GM/r² = (6.67·10^-11 × 4·10^22)/(6·10^5)^2

g ≈ 7.4 m/s²

A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same route, now with a headwind, tak

Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph$

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph$

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

$V_{plane} = 175 mph$

$v_{wind} = 25 mph$

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12

bazaltina [42]

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair

μ_s= $F_{max}/F_{n}$

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴ $F_{n}$ =mg

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s= $F_{max}/mg$

μ_{s} = $=165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )$

= 0.67
