If you are standing at Earth’s North Pole, which of the following will be directly overhead?

Physics
1 answer:
Sidana [21]3 years ago
7 0

The north celestial pole (and also the south) are described as two imaginary points that project on the axis of rotation of the earth, indefinitely towards space and that intersects with the celestial sphere (Remember that the earth has a slight inclination with respect to to its axis of rotation). The north and south celestial poles are directly above the head of someone located at the north or south pole of the earth.

Correct Answer is A.

An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of
Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meE}}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}

\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m

(b) According to Bragg's law,

n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta

n = 1

For nickel, d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=0.010^{\circ}

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.

A cheetah can accelerate from rest to a speed of 21.5 m/s in 6.75 s. What is its acceleration? m/s^2
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Acceleration will be a=3.185m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given final velocity v = 21.5 m/sec

Time t = 6.75 sec

As cheetah starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

From first equation of motion we know that v = u+at, here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So 21.5=0+a\times 6.75

a=3.185m/sec^2

An alien from the newly discovers planet nine weighs himself on his planet and finds his weight to be 3200 N. When he stoves on
White raven [17]

Answer:

2.45 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

On the Earth

W = mg.................. Equation 1

Where W = weight of the alien on the earth, m = mass of the alien on the earth, g = acceleration due to gravity of the earth.

Make m the subject of equation 1

m = W/g................... Equation 2

Given: W = 3200 N

Constant: 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these value into equation 2

m = 3200/9.8

m = 326.5 kg.

Similarly,

On planet 9,

W' = mg'............... Equation 3

Where W' = weight of the alien on planet 9, g' = acceleration due to gravity on planet 9.

make g' the subject of the equation

g' = W'/m............ Equation 4

Given: W' = 800 N

Substitute into equation 4

g' = 800/326.5

g' = 2.45 m/s²
