Answer:

Incomplete question, check attachment for the graph needed to solve problem.

A 8.1nm........

Explanation:

Electric Field is given as

E=V/d

Where V is voltage

And d is the distance apart

E is the electric field

The voltage V just before action of potential is -70mV,

The value d=8.1nm

d=8.1×10^-9m

E=V/d

E=-70×10^-3/8.1×10^-9

E=-8.6×10^6 N/C

Then the magnitude of the electric field is 8.6×10^6N/C

A clarinetist, setting out for a performance, grabs his 3.070 kg clarinet case (including the clarinet) from the top of the pian

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

the vertical acceleration of the case is 1.46 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the clarinet case, m = 3.07 kg

upward force applied by the man, F = 25.60 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

the upward force on the clarinet case = its weight acting downwards + downward force due to its downward accelaration

F = mg + m(-a)

the acceleration is negative due to downward motion from the top of the piano.

F = mg - ma

ma = mg - F

$a = \frac{mg - F}{m} \\\\a = \frac{(3.07 \times 9.8) \ - \ 25.6}{3.07} \\\\a = 1.46 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the vertical acceleration of the case is 1.46 m/s²

Add these two velocity vectors to find the magnitude of their resultant vector.

hammer [34]

The magnitude of their resultant vector is 4.6 meters/seconds

Since we are to add the velocity vectors in order to find the magnitude of their resultant vector.

Hence:

Resultant vector magnitude=5.8 meters/seconds + (1.2 meters/seconds)

Resultant vector magnitude=5.8 meters/seconds-1.2 meters/seconds

Resultant vector magnitude 4.6 meters/seconds

Inconclusion The magnitude of their resultant vector is 4.6 meters/seconds

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?

dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

$I = MR^2$

Here,

M = Mass

R = Radius of the hoop

The precession frequency is given as

$\Omega = \frac{Mgd}{I\omega}$

Here,

M = Mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d = Distance of center of mass from pivot

I = Moment of inertia

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

Replacing the value for moment of inertia

$\Omega= \frac{MgR}{MR^2 \omega}$

$\Omega = \frac{g}{R\omega}$

The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then

$\omega = 1000rpm (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})$

$\omega = 104.7rad/s$

Replacing our values we have that

$\Omega = \frac{9.8m/s^2}{(8*10^{-2}m)(104.7rad)}$

$\Omega = 1.17rad/s$

The precession frequency is

$\Omega = \frac{2\pi rad}{T}$

$T = \frac{2\pi rad}{\Omega}$

$T = \frac{2\pi}{1.17}$

$T = 5.4 s$

Therefore the precession period is 5.4s

The pupil of the human eye can vary in diameter from 2.00 mm in bright light to 8.00 mm in dim light. The eye has a focal length

Zarrin [17]

The indicated data are of clear understanding for the development of Airy's theory. In optics this phenomenon is described as an optical phenomenon in which The Light, due to its undulatory nature, tends to diffract when it passes through a circular opening.

The formula used for the radius of the Airy disk is given by,

$y_r=1.22\frac{\lambda f}{d}$
