Answer:

The car will travel 30 miles during the 30-minutes period of acceleration.

Explanation:

Given data :

Initial velocity = v₁ = 50 miles/hour

Final velocity = v₂ = 70 miles/hour

Time = t = 30 min = 0.5 hour

Using the definition of acceleration, we find the acceleration (a)

a = (v₂ - v₁) ÷ t

a = (70 - 50) ÷ 0.5

a = 20 ÷ 0.5

a = 40 miles/hour²

Using 3rd equation of motion, we find the distance travel (s)

2as = v₂² - v₁²

2(40)s = 70² - 50²

80 × s = 4900 - 2500

s = 2400 ÷ 80

s = 30 miles

A 300 MHz electromagnetic wave in air (medium 1) is normally incident on the planar boundary of a lossless dielectric medium wit

Masja [62]

Answer:

Wavelength of the incident wave in air = 1 m

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2 = 0.33 m

Intrinsic impedance of media 1 = 377 ohms

Intrinsic impedance of media 2 = 125.68 ohms

Check the explanation section for a better understanding

Explanation:

a) Wavelength of the incident wave in air

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave in air, f = 300 MHz = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Speed of light in air, c = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Wavelength of the incident wave in air:

$\lambda_{air} = \frac{c}{f} \\\lambda_{air} = \frac{3 * 10^{8} }{3 * 10^{8}} \\\lambda_{air} = 1 m$

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2

The refractive index of air in the lossless dielectric medium:

$n = \sqrt{\epsilon_{r} } \\n = \sqrt{9 }\\n =3$

$\lambda_{2} = \frac{c}{nf}\\\lambda_{2} = \frac{3 * 10^{6} }{3 * 3 * 10^{6}}\\\lambda_{2} = 1/3\\\lambda_{2} = 0.33 m$

b) Intrinsic impedances of media 1 and media 2

The intrinsic impedance of media 1 is given as:

$n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_{0} } }$

Permeability of free space, $\mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m$

Permittivity for air, $\epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m$

$n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} }{8.84 * 10^{-12} } }$

$n_1 = 377 \Omega$

The intrinsic impedance of media 2 is given as:

$n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_r \mu_0}{\epsilon_r \epsilon_{0} } }$

Permeability of free space, $\mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m$

Permittivity for air, $\epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m$

ϵr = 9

$n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} *1 }{8.84 * 10^{-12} *9 } }$

$n_2 = 125.68 \Omega$

c) The reflection coefficient,r and the transmission coefficient,t at the boundary.

Reflection coefficient, $r = \frac{n - n_{0} }{n + n_{0} }$

You didn't put the refractive index at the boundary in the question, you can substitute it into the formula above to find it.

$r = \frac{3 - n_{0} }{3 + n_{0} }$

Transmission coefficient at the boundary, t = r -1

d) The amplitude of the incident electric field is $E_{0} = 10 V/m$

Maximum amplitudes in the total field is given by:

$E = tE_{0}$ and $E = r E_{0}$

E = 10r, E = 10t

What happens in the gray zone between solid and liquid?

Reil [10]

Answer:

Hence from liquid to solid or solid to liquid the transition has to cross the grey zone. This grey zone transition is is very crucial which includes the intermolecular forces acting on the molecules and each atoms which makes the change in state from hot to cold and cold to hot.

Initially, a 2.00-kg mass is whirling at the end of a string (in a circular path of radius 0.750 m) on a horizontal frictionless

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using conservation of angular momentum.

The angular momentum $\vec{L}$ is

$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$

where $\vec{r}$ is the position and $\vec{p}$ the linear momentum.

We also know that the torque is

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} ( \vec{r} \times \vec{p} )$

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d}{dt} \vec{r} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p}$

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{v} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

but, as the linear momentum is $\vec{p} = m \vec{v}$ this means that is parallel to the velocity, and the first term must equal zero

$\vec{v} \times \vec{p}=0$

so

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

But, as the only horizontal force is the tension of the string, the force must be parallel to the vector position measured from the vertical rod, so

$\vec{\tau}_{rod} = 0$

this means, for the angular momentum measure from the rod:

$\frac{d\vec{L}_{rod}}{dt} = 0$

that means :

$\vec{L}_{rod} = constant$

So, the magnitude of initial angular momentum is :

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i| cos(\theta)$

but the angle is 90°, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i|$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = r_i * m * v_i$

We know that the distance to the rod is 0.750 m, the mass 2.00 kg and the speed 5 m/s, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 0.750 \ m \ 2.00 \ kg \ 5 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}$

For our final angular momentum we have:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = r_f * m * v_f$

and the radius is 0.250 m and the mass is 2.00 kg

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

but, as the angular momentum is constant, this must be equal to the initial angular momentum

$7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s} = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

$v_f = \frac{7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}}{ 0.250 m * 2.00 kg}$

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$
