A physics student is riding on a train traveling north. Having read about inertia, the student performs an experiment with a gol

f ball. He reaches over the aisle and drops the ball from rest. Instead of hitting the floor directly below the student’s hand, it hits to the north, i.e., forward of that position. Which of the following might be the cause for this to happen?
(A) The train is moving at constant
(B) The train is speeding up. veloeity
(C) The train is slowing down.
(D) Whatever the cause, it cannot be any of the answers given.

Answer:

(C) The train is slowing down.

Explanation:

Since the ball seems to move <em>forward, </em>the train is slowing down. This is because Newton's 1st Law, objects inside the train tend to keep their previous state of movement, that is, the velocity before the train start slowing down, thus appearing to move forward in relation with the train itself.

A laser with a power of 1.0 mW has a beam radius of 1.0 mm. What is the peak value of the electric field in that beam
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

power of the laser, P = 1.0 mW = 1 x 10⁻³ W

Radius of the beam, R = 1.0 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the beam = πr² = π(1 x 10⁻³ )² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The average intensity of the light = P / A

The average intensity of the light = ( 1 x 10⁻³) / (3.142 x 10⁻⁶)

The average intensity of the light = 318.27 W/m²

The peak value of the electric field is given by;

E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2I_{avg}}{c\epsilon_o}}\\\\E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2(318.27)}{(3*10^8)(8.85*10^{-12})}}\\\\E_o = 489.64 \ V/m

Therefore, the peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m.

Water runs into a fountain, filling all the pipes, at a steady rate of 0.750 m3&gt;s. (a) How fast will it shoot out of a hole 4
kati45 [8]

Answer:

velocity  = 472 m/s

velocity = 52.4 m/s

Explanation:

given data

steady rate = 0.750 m³/s

diameter = 4.50 cm

solution

we use here flow rate formula that is

flow rate = Area × velocity .............1

0.750 = \frac{\pi }{4} × (4.50×10^{-2})²  × velocity

solve it we get

velocity  = 472 m/s

and

when it 3 time diameter

put valuer in equation 1

0.750 = \frac{\pi }{4} × 3 ×  (4.50×10^{-2})²  × velocity

velocity = 52.4 m/s

amm1812

Answer:

4.13Hz

Explanation:

f1 = 1/t1 = 1/0.022 = 45.45 Hz

f2 = 1/t2 = 1/0.0242= 41.32 Hz

No. of beats

= 45.45- 41.32

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 1.0 N

Explanation:

inclination of tray=12^{\circ}

gravitational Force=5 N

Now this gravitational force has two component i.e.

5\sin \theta  is parallel to the tray =1.039 N

5\cos \theta  is perpendicular to the tray =4.890 N
