If the sun is a medium sized star, why does it look bigger than others?

Physics

Answer:

However, compared to other stars, our Sun is only a medium-sized star, meaning that some stars are much larger than the Sun and some are much smaller. The Sun looks bigger than other stars because it is so much closer to the Earth. The further away an object is, the smaller it appears, even if it is very big.

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.0° from the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. The beam is refracted to
dimaraw [331]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Angle of incidence,i=30^{\circ}

Angle of refraction,r=19.24^{\circ}

a.Refractive index of air,n_1=1

We know that

n_2sinr=n_1sini

n_2=\frac{n_1sin i}{sin r}=\frac{sin30}{sin19.24}=1.517

b.Wavelength of red light in vacuum,\lambda=632.8nm=632.8\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

Wavelength in the solution,\lambda'=\frac{\lambda}{n_2}

\lambda'=\frac{632.8}{1.517}=417nm

c.Frequency does not change .It remains same in vacuum and solution.

Frequency,\nu=\frac{c}{\lamda}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{632.8\times 10^{-9}}

Where c=3\times 10^8 m/s

Frequency,\nu=4.74\times 10^{14}Hz

d.Speed in the solution,v=\frac{c}{n_2}

v=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1.517}=1.98\times 10^8m/s

the electron are accelrated to a speed of 2.40*10^7 in 1.8*10^-9, the force experinced by an electron ?
dalvyx [7]
Force = mass × acceleration

To find acceleration, we can divide the speed by the time it took:

acceleration = 2.40×10^7 / 1.8×10^-9

acceleration = 1.33×10^16

the mass is equal to the mass of an electron

force = (9.11×10^-31)(1.33×10^16)

force = 1.21×10^-14 N

A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000
34kurt
Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

A. Made of the marble.

the mass remains constant when you drop the marble but the rest of the variables change as the marble is dropped, therefore, the only constant variable is its mass.

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg.m^2. The father
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial angular velocity \omega_o = 0

angular acceleration \alpha = 4.44 rad/s²

Using the formula:

\omega = \omega_o+ \alpha t

Making t the subject of the formula:

t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }

where;

\omega = 1.53 \ rad/s^2

∴

t= \dfrac{1.53-0}{4.44 }

t = 0.345 s

b)

Using the formula:

\omega ^2 = \omega _o^2 + 2 \alpha \theta

here;

\theta = angular displacement

∴

\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_o^2}{2 \alpha }

\theta = \dfrac{(1.53)^2 -0^2}{2 (4.44) }

\theta =0.264 \ rad

Recall that:

2π rad = 1 revolution

Then;

0.264 rad = (x) revolution

x = \dfrac{0.264 \times 1}{2 \pi}

x = 0.042 revolutions

c)

Here; force = 270 N

radius = 1.20 m

The torque = F * r

\tau = 270 \times 1.20 \\ \\  \tau = 324 \ Nm

However;

From the moment of inertia;

Torque( \tau) = I \alpha \\ \\  Since( I \alpha) = 324 \ Nm. \\ \\  Then; \\ \\  \alpha= \dfrac{324}{I}

given that;

I = 84.4 kg.m²

\alpha= \dfrac{324}{84.4} \\ \\  \alpha=3.84 \ rad/s^2

For re-tardation; \alpha=-3.84 \ rad/s^2

Using the equation

t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }

t= \dfrac{0-1.53}{ -3.84 }

t= \dfrac{1.53}{ 3.84 }

t = 0.398s

The required time it takes= 0.398s
