What device transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy?

In the 1887 experiment by Michelson and Morley, the length of each interferometer arm was 11m. The experimental limit on the mea

For the answer to the question above,
we can get the number of fringes by dividing (delta t) by the period of the light (Which is λ/c).

fringe = (delta t) / (λ/c)

We can find (delta t) with the equation:

delta t = [v^2(L1+L2)]/c^3

Derivation of this formula can be found in your physics text book. From here we find (delta t):

600,000^2 x (11+11) / [(3x10^8)^3] = 2.93x10^-13

2.93x10^-13/ (589x10^-9 / 3x10^8) = 149 fringes

This answer is correct but may seem large. That is because of your point of reference with the ether which is usually at rest with respect to the sun, making v = 3km/s.

Let's take two balls, each of radius 0.1 meters and charge them each to 3 microCoulombs. Then, let's put them on a flat surface

salantis [7]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.

R = 2r

= $2 \times 0.1 m$

= 0.2 m

where, R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.

U = $\frac{k \times Q \times Q}{R}$

= $\frac{8.98 \times 10^{9} \times (3 \times 10^{-6} C)^{2}}{0.1}$

= 0.081 J

As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.

Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, $\frac{U}{2}$ .

Hence, K.E = $\frac{U}{2}$

= $\frac{0.081}{2}$

= 0.0405 J

Now, we will calculate the speed of balls as follows.

V = $\sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times K.E}{m}}$

= $\sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.0405}{4 kg}}$

= 0.142 m/s

Therefore, we can conclude that final speed of one of the balls is 0.142 m/s.

A quarterback back pedals 3.3 meters southward and then runs 5.7 meters northward. For this motion, what is the distance moved?

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The distance moved is 9 meters

The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters

The direction of the displacement is northward

Explanation:

- Distance is the length of the actual path between the initial and the

final position. Distance is a scalar quantity

- Displacement is the change in position, measuring from its starting

position to the final position. Displacement is a vector quantity

The quarterback pedals 3.3 meters southward

That means it moves down 3.3 meters

Then runs 5.7 meters northward

That means it runs up 5.7 meters

The distance = 3.3 + 5.7 = 9 meters

The distance moved is 9 meters

It moves southward (down) for 3.3 meters and then moves northward

(up) for 5.7

It moves from zero to 3.3 down and then moves up to 5.7

The displacement = 5.7 - 3.3 = 2.4 meters northward

The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters

The direction of the displacement is northward

which of the following statements best explains how consumers determine growth in technological areas

Mrac [35]

If these were the missing choices:

a) Consumers fill out questionnaires concerning their need for new products.

b) Consumers vote for politicians who decide which kind of research to support

c) Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy

d) Consumers influence the decisions of private foundations by deciding where to donate money.

My answer would be: c) Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy

Every growth is based on the demand of the people. If a good or service is needed then its demand will increase. If a good or service is not needed then its demand will decrease until such time that said good or service will be eliminated.
