Answer:

g = 0.905 gE

W = 67.9 N

Explanation:

given data

mass of Venus mv = 81.5% = 0.815

radius Rv = 94.9% = 0.949

weighs W = 75.0 N

solution

we apply here acceleration due to gravity at earth surface that is

g = $\frac{Gm}{R^2}$ = 9.80 m/s² ............1

so

g = $\frac{G(0.815)}{0.949R^2}$

g = 0.905 gE

and

W = m gv

W = 0.905 m gE

W = 0.905 × 75

W = 67.9 N

When monochromatic light shines perpendicularly on a soap film (n = 1.33) with air on each side, the second smallest nonzero fil

Anika [276]

Let us start from considering monochromatic light as an incidence on the film of a thickness t whose material has an index of refraction n determined by their respective properties.

From this point of view part of the light will be reflated and the other will be transmitted to the thin film. That additional distance traveled by the ray that was reflected from the bottom will be twice the thickness of the thin film at the point where the light strikes. Therefore, this relation of phase differences and additional distance can be expressed mathematically as

$2t + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_{film} = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda_{film}$

We are given the second smallest nonzero thickness at which destructive interference occurs.

This corresponds to, m = 2, therefore

$2t = 2\lambda_{film}$

$t = \lambda_{film}$

The index of refraction of soap is given, then

$\lambda_{film} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}$

Combining the results of all steps we get

$t = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}$

Rearranging, we find

$\lambda_{vacuum} = tn$

$\lambda_{vacuum} = (278)(1.33)$

$\lambda_{vacuum} = 369.74nm$

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc

4vir4ik [10]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Cars A nad B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance $D_{A}$ beyond the starting line at t = 0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed $v_{A}$ . Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A and thus Car B travels at a constant speed $v_{B}$ , which is greater than $v_{A}$ .

Part A: How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

Part B: How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities.

Answer: Part A: $t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Part B: $x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Explanation: First, let's write an equation of motion for each car.

Both cars travels with constant speed. So, they are an uniform rectilinear motion and its position equation is of the form:

$x=x_{0}+vt$

where

$x_{0}$ is initial position

v is velocity

t is time

Car A started the race at a distance. So at t = 0, initial position is $D_{A}$ .

The equation will be:

$x_{A}=D_{A}+v_{A}t$

Car B started at the starting line. So, its equation is

$x_{B}=v_{B}t$

Part A: When they meet, both car are at "the same position":

$D_{A}+v_{A}t=v_{B}t$

$v_{B}t-v_{A}t=D_{A}$

$t(v_{B}-v_{A})=D_{A}$

$t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Car B meet with Car A after $t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$ units of time.

Part B: With the meeting time, we can determine the position they will be:

$x_{B}=v_{B}(\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} )$

$x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Since Car B started at the starting line, the distance Car B will be when it passes Car A is $x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$ units of distance.

What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.5 kg and hits the cathers glove with a force of 25n

ioda

Acceleration is found if we have the force and mass.

With the following equation: F = ma, we can find the missing values.

F = 25n
M = 0.5 kg
a = ?

a = f/m
a = 25/0.5
a = 50

a = 50 m/s

So, the acceleration is 50 m/s^2

how does spatial pattern of heights illustrate the relationship between temperature density and the rate of vertical pressure ch

Anika [276]

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.

Generally, the relationship between temperature, density and rate of vertical pressure is given as;

$\rho = \frac{PM}{RT}$

$\frac{dP}{dz} = -\rho g\\\\$

where;

<em>ρ is density</em>
<em>T is temperature</em>
<em>dP is rate of change of vertical pressure</em>

Thus, from the formula above, we can conclude the following relationship between temperature, density and the rate of vertical pressure change in spatial pattern of heights.

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.
