Answer:

<h3>a.</h3>
  • After it has traveled through 1 cm : I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 I_0
  • After it has traveled through 2 cm : I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 I_0
<h3>b.</h3>
  • After it has traveled through 1 cm : od( 1\ cm) =  0.2606
  • After it has traveled through 2 cm :  od( 2\ cm) =  0.5211

Explanation:

<h2>a.</h2>

For this problem, we can use the Beer-Lambert law. For constant attenuation coefficient \mu the formula is:

I(x) = I_0 e^{-\mu x}

where I is the intensity of the beam, I_0 is the incident intensity and x is the length of the material traveled.

For our problem, after travelling 1 cm:

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 1 cm}

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}

I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 \ I_0

After travelling 2 cm:

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 2 cm}

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}

I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 \ I_0

<h2>b</h2>

The optical density od is given by:

od(x) = - log_{10} ( \frac{I(x)}{I_0} ).

So, after travelling 1 cm:

od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.5488 \ I_0}{I_0} )

od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.5488 )

od( 1\ cm) = - (  - 0.2606)

od( 1\ cm) =  0.2606

After travelling 2 cm:

od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.3012 \ I_0}{I_0} )

od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.3012 )

od( 2\ cm) = - (  - 0.5211)

od( 2\ cm) =  0.5211

A 26-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 630 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

  F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

          I = F t = Δp

To find the time we use that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), let's use the uniform movement ratio

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

Reduce SI system

          m = 26 g ( 1 kg/1000g) = 26 10⁻³ kg

          d = 50 mm ( 1m/ 1000 mm) = 50 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate

         t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

         t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

With this value we use the momentum and momentum relationship

        F t = m v - m v₀

As the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

       F = m (v-vo) / t

       F = 26 10⁻³ (-500 - 630) / 8.33 10⁻⁵

       F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

The negative sign indicates that the force is exerted against the bullet

A ball on the end of a rope is moving in a vertical circle near the surface of the earth. Point A is at the top of the circle; C
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Tension in the string will increase

Explanation:

As we know that tension in the string at any angle with the vertical is given as

T - mgcos\theta = m\omega^2 R

now we have

T = mgcos\theta + m\omega^2 R

also we know that

angular speed of the stone is directly depending on the time period of the motion

so it is given as

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

since the frequency of the revolution is increased from n = 1 rev/s to 2 rev/s

so the angular speed would be doubled

So here we can say that

tension in the string will increase when we will increase the frequency of revolution.
