The average human hair has a diameter of 100,000 nm. We can see individual hairs because hair has a diameter greater than the wa

velengths of the visible spectrum. (ranges from about 700 to 400 nm). An individual iron atom has a diameter of about 0.3 nm. Can we ever "see" an individual iron atom with visible light?
a) Yes, because the individual iron atom has a diameter much larger than visible light wavelengths.


b) No, because the individual iron atom has a diameter much smaller than the visible light wavelengths.


c) Can't tell because there is no correlation between size of an object and light reflecting off of it.

How fast would a car have to round 85 m -radius turn for its acceleration to be numerically equal to that of gravity?
Temka [501]

Answer:

A car would need to be moving with a velocity of 28.86 m/s for its acceleration to be numerically equal to the acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation:

Radial acceleration for an object in circular motion is given by

α = v²/r

α = g = 9.8 m/s²

v = ?

r = 85 m

9.8 = v²/85

v² = 9.8 × 85 = 833

v = 28.86 m/s

A net downward force of 20 N causes a book to fall towards the ground at m/s2. What is the book’s mass? Consider air resistance
stira [4]

If we have to figure air resistance into it, then we don't have enough information to find an answer.  

If the air around it is going to have an effect on how it falls, then it'll depend on the thickness of the book, the shape of the book, whether it's a hard-cover or soft-cover, how far the covers stick out past the pages, how smooth or rough the covers are, how bumpy the binding it. and what position you hold it in before you let it go.

(THAT's why we always ignore air resistance, especially when the question is actually about gravity anyway.)

A uniform solid sphere of radius r = 0.510 m and mass m = 15.5 kg turns counterclockwise about a vertical axis through its cente
klasskru [66]

Answer:

5.160384 kg*m²/s

Explanation:

The vector angular momentum P can be found using the following expression:

P = I * w

I refers to the inertia, that for a sphere is found using the expression:

I = \frac{2}{5} * m * r² = \frac{2}{5} * 15.5kg * (0.510m)² = 1.61262 kg*m².

The angular velocity w is given by the problem, and has a value of 3.2 rad/s.

Replacing the data we get:

P = 1.61262 kg*m² * 3.2 rad/s = 5.160384 kg*m²/s
