Newton's second law of motion states that

D. the force acting on a body equals the rate of change of momentum

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration. Mathematically:

$F=ma$

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

We can re-write the acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

So we can re-write the equation as

$F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

However, the term $m\Delta v$ represents the change in momentum of the body, $\Delta p$ (assuming its mass to be constant). Therefore, we can further rewrite the equation as

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

which means that the force acting on a body equals the rate of change of momentum (option D).

The spacing between the plates of a 1.0 μF capacitor is 0.050 mm. a) What is the surface area of the plates? b) How much charge

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

(a) surface area of the plate will be equal to $1.129m^2$

(b) Charge on the capacitor is equal to $1.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Explanation:

We have given spacing between the plates d = 0.05 mm = $5\times 10^{-5}m$

Value of capacitance $C=1\mu F=10^{-6}F$

(A) Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is equal to $C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}$

So $10^{-6}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times A}{10^{-5}}$

$A=1.129m^2$

So surface area of the plate will be equal to $1.129m^2$

(B) It is given that capacitor is charged by 1.5 volt

So voltage V = 1.5 volt

Charge on the capacitor is equal to $Q=CV$

So $Q=1.5\times 10^{-6}C$

How many number of musicians constitute a big band?

nikitadnepr [17]

Big band is music group (a group of people who perform instrumental and/or vocal music ) playing jazz or jazz-influenced popular music and which was popular during the Swing Era from the mid-1930s until the late 1940s. These big bands contained saxophones, trumpets, trombone and other instruments and typically consisted of approximately 12 to 25 musicians.

An electron in the n = 5 level of an h atom emits a photon of wavelength 1282.17 nm. to what energy level does the electron move

lions [1.4K]

This is an interesting (read tricky!) variation of Rydberg Eqn calculation.
Rydberg Eqn: 1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 1282.17 nm = 1282.17×10^-9 m
R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1
n2 = 5 (emission)
Hence 1/(1282.17 ×10^-9) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/n1^2 – 1/25^2]
Some rearranging and collecting up terms:
1 = (1282.17 ×10^-9) (1.09737× 10^7)[1/n2 -1/25]
1= 14.07[1/n^2 – 1/25]
1 =14.07/n^2 – (14.07/25)
14.07n^2 = 1 + 0.5628
n = √(14.07/1.5628) = 3
