An 80 g, 40 cm long rod hangs vertically on a frictionless, horizontal axle passing through its center. A 15 g ball of clay trav

eling horizontally at 2.0 m/s hits and sticks to the very bottom tip of the rod. To what maximum angle, measured from vertical, does the rod (with the attached ball of clay) rotate?

Answer:

θ  = 12.95º

Explanation:

For this exercise it is best to separate the process into two parts, one where they collide and another where the system moves altar the maximum height

Let's start by finding the speed of the bar plus clay ball system, using amount of momentum

The mass of the bar (M = 0.080 kg) and the mass of the clay ball (m = 0.015 kg) with speed (v₀ = 2.0 m / s)

Initial before the crash

      p₀ = m v₀

Final after the crash before starting the movement

     p_{f} = (m + M) v

     p₀ = p_{f}

     m v₀ = (m + M) v

     v = v₀ m / (m + M)

     v = 2.0 0.015 / (0.015 +0.080)

     v = 0.316 m / s

With this speed the clay plus bar system comes out, let's use the concept of conservation of mechanical energy

Lower

    Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

Higher

    E_{mf} = U = (m + M) g y

   Em₀ = E_{mf}

   ½ (m + M) v² = (m + M) g y

   y = ½ v² / g

   y = ½ 0.316² / 9.8

   y = 0.00509 m

Let's look for the angle the height from the pivot point is

    L = 0.40 / 2 = 0.20 cm

The distance that went up is

     y = L - L cos θ

     cos θ  = (L-y) / L

     θ  = cos⁻¹ (L-y) / L

     θ  = cos⁻¹-1 ((0.20 - 0.00509) /0.20)

      θ  = 12.95º

Which is more reliable—using a manual stop watch or using light gates?<br> Explain.
Kitty [74]
Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.

All but two gaps within a set of Venetian blinds have been blocked off to create a double-slit system. These gaps are separated
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

separation between two gaps, d = 5 cm

angle between central and second order maxima, θ = 0.52°

use

d Sinθ = n λ

n = 2

0.05 x Sin 0.52° = 2 x λ

λ = 2.27 x 10^-4 m

λ = 226.9 micro metre

Help fast please due tomorrow
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Contemporary light microscopes are able to magnify objects up to about a thousand times. Since most cells are between 1 and 100 μm in diameter, they can be observed by light microscopy, as can some of the larger subcellular organelles, such as nuclei, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.

A cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. A living thing, whether made of one cell (like bacteria) or many cells (like a human), is called an organism. Thus, cells are the basic building blocks of all organisms.

Cells have many structures inside of them called organelles. These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive. The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell directs the cell's activities and stores DNA.

If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function.

Parallel light waves hit the surface of a still lake and reflect in the same direction. Which interaction of light and matter do
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Regular reflection

Explanation:

- Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a light wave hits the interface between two different mediums and it bounces off back into the same medium. The angle of reflection (measured between the reflected ray and the perpendicular to the interface) is equal to the angle of incidence (measured between the incident ray and the perpendicular to the interface).

There are two different types of reflection:

- Regular reflection: this occurs when the interface between the two mediums is smooth (such as in the case of the still lake), so all the parallel light waves (which have same angle of incidence) are reflected exactly with the same angle of reflection (so, they come out all with same direction)

- Diffuse reflection: this occurs when the interface between the two mediums is not smooth, so each light ray is reflected with a different angle because it hits the interface with a different angle of incidence.

Therefore, in the case of the still lake, the correct answer is regular reflection.

The absolute potential at a distance of 2.0 m from a negative point charge is-100. V. What is the absolute potential 4.0 m away
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The absolute potential 4.0 m away from the same point charge is -50 V.

(A) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 2.0 m

Potential = -100 V

Absolute potential = 4.0 m

We need to calculate the charge

Using formula of potential

V=\dfrac{kq}{r}

Where, V = potential

q = charge

r = distance

Put the value into the formula

-100=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times q}{2.0}

q=\dfrac{200}{9\times10^{9}}

q=-22.2\times10^{-9}\ C

We need to calculate the potential

Using formula of potential

V=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(-22.2\times10^{-9})}{4.0}

V=-49.95\ V

V=-50\ V

Hence, The absolute potential 4.0 m away from the same point charge is -50 V.
