Answer:

T = 5.36 s

Explanation:

given,

depth of the mine shaft = 122.5 m

speed of the sound = 340 m/s

time taken = ?

time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom

using equation of motion

$s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

initial speed , u = 0 m/s

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 122.5}{9.8}}$

t = 5 s

time taken by the sound to travel

d =v x t

$t = \dfrac{d}{v}$

$t = \dfrac{122.5}{340}$

t = 0.36 s

total time taken for the sound to reach carol after dropping the stone

T = 5 + 0.36

T = 5.36 s

Shari uses the data in the table to predict how her weight on Venus would compare with her weight on Earth.

spin [16.1K]

Answer : <em>Her weight is lower on Venus because the acceleration due to gravity is lower.</em>

Explanation :

Venus is also called as Earth's twin. This is because both the mass and the size of Earth and Venus are almost same. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is $9.8\ m/s^2$ while on Venus is $8.87\ m/s^2$ .

So, when Shari measure her weight on Venus she found her weight is lower on Venus. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is lower on the surface of Venus as compared to the Earth.

Since, $w=mg$

i.e. weight depends on g.

<em>So, correct prediction is (b)</em>

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 68 pm. What is the least uncertainty in any simultane

umka21 [38]

Answer:

$\Delta p_x=7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along the x-axis is, $\Delta x=68\ pm=68\times 10^{-12}\ m$

We need to find the east uncertainty in any simultaneous measurement of the momentum component of this electron.

We know that the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle gives the relation between the uncertainty in position and the momentum of electron as :

$\Delta p_x{\cdot}\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi }$

Putting all the values, we get :

$\Delta p_x{\cdot}\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta x}\\\\\Delta p_x \ge \dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 68\times 10^{-12}}\\\\\Delta p_x\ge 7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s$

So, the momentum component of this electrons is greater than $7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s$ .

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Magnitude of kinetic force is the product of the normal force and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Explanation:

The kinetic frictional force is the force which is experienced in the moving surfaces of bodies.The magnitude of the force is affected by the coefficient of kinetic friction between the material of two bodies in contact. Mathematically, it is expressed as;

Fk=μk*η

where;

Fk=force of kinetic friction
μk=coefficient of kinetic friction
η=normal force
