The wavelength of visible light is about 5500 times longer than the wavelength of x-rays. If you represent the wavelenth of an x

-ray photon by a line 1 inch long, how long a line (in feet) must you draw to represent the wavelength of visible light?

Answer:

458.33 ft

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of of an x- ray photon=1 in

Wavelength of of an x- ray photon==\frac{1}{12}ft

1 in=\frac{1}{12}feet

We have to find the  length of line (in feet) drawn by you to represent the wavelength of visible light.

According to question

Wavelength of visible light=5500\times \frac{1}{12} ft

Wavelength of visible light=\frac{5500}{12}ft

Wavelength of visible light=458.33 ft

Hence, the 458.33 ft line must drawn  by you to represent the wavelength of visible light.

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

A leaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 11 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.9 kg/m. Initial
nalin [4]

Answer:

the work done to lift the bucket = 3491 Joules

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of bucket = 10kg

distance the bucket is lifted = height = 11m

Weight of rope= 0.9kg/m

g= 9.8m/s²

initial mass of water = 33kg

x = height in meters above the ground

Let W = work

Using riemann sum:

the work done to lift the bucket =∑(W done by bucket, W done by rope and W done by water)

= \int\limits^a_b {(Mass of Bucket + Mass of Rope + Mass of water)*g*d} \, dx

Work done in lifting the bucket (W) = force × distance

Force (F) = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Force = 9.8 * 10 = 98N

W done by bucket = 98×11 = 1078 Joules

Work done to lift the rope:

At Height of x meters (0≤x≤11)

Mass of rope = weight of rope × change in distance

= 0.8kg/m × (11-x)m

W done = integral of (mass×g ×distance) with upper 11 and lower limit 0

W done = \int\limits^1 _0 {9.8*0.8(11-x)} \, dx

Note : upper limit is 11 not 1, problem with math editor

W done = 7.84 (11x-x²/2)upper limit 11 to lower limit 0

W done = 7.84 [(11×11-(11²/2)) - (11×0-(0²/2))]

=7.84(60.5 -0) = 474.32 Joules

Work done in lifting the water

At Height of x meters (0≤x≤11)

Rate of water leakage = 36kg ÷ 11m = \frac{36}{11}kg/m

Mass of rope = weight of rope × change in distance

= \frac{36}{11}kg/m × (11-x)m =  3.27kg/m × (11-x)m

W done = integral of (mass×g ×distance) with upper 11 and lower limit 0

W done = \int\limits^1 _0 {9.8*3.27(11-x)} \, dx

Note : upper limit is 11 not 1, problem with math editor

W done = 32.046 (11x-x²/2)upper limit 11 to lower limit 0

W done = 32.046 [(11×11-(11²/2)) - (11×0-(0²/2))]

= 32.046(60.5 -0) = 1938.783 Joules

the work done to lift the bucket =W done by bucket+ W done by rope +W done by water)

the work done to lift the bucket = 1078 +474.32+1938.783 = 3491.103

the work done to lift the bucket = 3491 Joules
