What statement illustrates how engineering has influenced society

A very thin oil film (n = 1.25) floats on water (n = 1.33). What is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for gree

mixer [17]

Answer:

200 nm is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for green light with a wavelength of 500 nm

Explanation:

If two reflected waves interfere constructively ,strong reflection is produced. Two reflected waves will experience a phase change

For constructive interference

$2\times n\times t=m\lambda$

for thinnest film m=1

refractive index should be taken for film n=1.25

thickness of the thinnest film is

$t=\frac{m\lambda}{2n} \\t=\frac{1\times 500}{2\times 1.25} \\t=200 nm$

Power Rating of a Resistor. The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too gr

IgorLugansk [536]

(a) 273.9 V

The power rating of the resistor is given by

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where

P is the power rating

V is the potential difference across the resistor

R is the resistance

If the maximum power rating is $P=5.0 W$ , and the resistance of the resistor is $R=15 k\Omega = 15000 \Omega$ , then we can find the maximum potential difference across the resistor by re-arranging the previous equation for V:

$V=\sqrt{PR}=\sqrt{(5.0 W)(15000 \Omega)}=273.9 V$

(b) 1.6 W

In this case, we have:

$R=9.0 k\Omega = 9000 \Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$V=120 V$ is the potential difference across the resistor

So we can find the power rating by using the same formula of part (a):

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{9000 \Omega}=1.6 W$

(c) Maximum voltage: 14.1 V; Rate of heat: 2.00 W and 3.00 W

Here we have two resistors of

$R_1 = 100 \Omega\\R_2 = 150 \Omega$

and each resistor has a power rating of

P = 2.00 W

So the greatest potential difference allowed in the first resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_1}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(100 \Omega)}=14.1 V$

While the greatest potential difference allowed in the second resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_2}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(150 \Omega)}=17.3 V$

So the greatest potential difference allowed not to overheat either of the resistor is 14.1 V.

In this condition, the power dissipated on the first resistor is 2.00 W, while the power dissipated on the second resistor is

$P_2 = \frac{V^2}{R_2}=\frac{(14.1 V)^2}{150 \Omega}=1.33 W$

And this corresponds to the rate of heat generated in the first resistor (2.00 W) and in the second resistor (1.33 W).

) A satellite of mass m has an orbital period T when it is in a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. If the satellite in

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

$T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.

The low-frequency speaker of a stereo set has a surface area of 0.06 m2 and produces 2.03 W of acoustical power. What is the int

zimovet [89]

Answer:

33.83W/m²

Explanation:

The intensity of the speake at the surface is

I = P/A

I = 2.03W / 0.06m²

I = 33.83W/m²

The force of gravity on Jupiter is much stronger than the force of gravity on earth what is the answer?

Pachacha [2.7K]

This would be true. On Jupiter you would weigh 234 pounds if you were 100 pounds on Earth.
