A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]

Physics

inna [77]3 years ago

This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.

There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.

If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that.  But the question doesn't give us the time. 

It depends on the material of the surface.  Was the clam dropped onto dirt ? 
Into a dumpster ?  Onto grass ?  Concrete ?  Styrofoam ?  Mud ?  The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.

I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher.  It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.

Solenoid constructed with 50 turns of wire and has inductance L. if we made another solenoid identical in length and cross secti
Vlad [161]

Answer:

It would have an inductance closest to 16 L.

Explanation:

Inductance for a one solenoid can be calculated with a formula following:

L=μ*N^2*A/l

Then, in this situation we are increasing the number of turns by 4 without any length change. First solenoid with 50 turn has inductance L which is:

L= μ*50^2*A/l=2500*μ*A/l

When we increase the number of turns by four, it will increase to:

L'=μ*200^2*A/l=40000*μ*A/l=16 L

The length of a cylindrical axon is 8 cm and its radius of 8μm,and the thickness of the membrane is 0.01μm,dielectric constant (
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

9.965 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of the axon C = εA/d where ε = dielectric constant = 24.78 × 10⁻¹² F/m, A = surface area of axon = 2πrL where r = radius of axon = 8 μm = 8 × 10⁻⁶ m and L = length of axon = 8 cm = 8 × 10⁻² m and d = thickness of membrane = 0.01 μm = 0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

So, C = εA/d

C = ε2πrL/d

Substituting the of the values variables into the equation, we have

C = ε2πrL/d

C =  24.78 × 10⁻¹² F/m × 2π × 8 × 10⁻⁶ m × 8 × 10⁻² m/0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

C =  9964.63 × 10⁻²⁰ Fm/0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

C =  996463 × 10⁻¹⁴ F

C = 9.96463 × 10⁻⁹ F

C = 9.96463 nF

C ≅ 9.965 nF

Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through polystyrene. The waveleng
klemol [59]

Answer:

Speed:

2.01x10^{8}m/s

Wavelength:

4.24x10^{-7}m

Frequency:

4.74x10^{14}Hz

Explanation:

The speed of the laser as it travels through polystyrene can be determine by means of the equation of the refraction index:

n = \frac{c}{v} (1)

Where c is the speed of light and v is the speed of the laser in the medium.

Therefore, v will be isolated from equation 1

v = \frac{c}{n}

v = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1.490}

v = 2.01x10^{8}m/s

Hence, the speed of the laser has a value of 2.01x10^{8}m/s

Frenquency:

Since, wavelength is the only one who depends on the media. Therefore the frequency in both medium will be the same.  

To determine the frequency it can be used the following equation

c = \nu \cdot \lambda  (2)

Where c is the speed of light, \nu is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength

Then, \nu wil be isolated from equation 2.

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}  (3)

Before using equation 3 it is necessary to express \lamba in units of meters.

\lambda = 632.8nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9}nm} ⇒ 6.328x10^{-7}m

\nu = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{6.328x10^{-7}m}

\nu = 4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}

\nu = 4.74x10^{14}Hz

Hence, the frequency of the laser has a value of 4.74x10^{14}Hz

Wavelength:

To determine the wavelength it can be used:

v = \nu \cdot \lambda

\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}

Where v is the speed of the laser through the polystyrene.

\lambda = \frac{2.01x10^{8}m/s}{4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}}

\lambda = 4.24x10^{-7}m

Hence, the wavelength of the laser has a value of 4.24x10^{-7}m
