A block oscillating up and down on a spring comes to the top of its path, where it is momentarily at rest. At the instant it is

at rest, what is the direction of the rate of change of its momentum?

True [87]3 years ago

Opposite to the direction of the velocity which led it to its current position.

Explanation:

The direction of momentum when a vertically oscillating block comes to the rest momentarily will be opposite to the direction of the velocity that it has just followed to reach reach its current position.

The direction of change in momentum at the bottom will be upwards and at the top will be downwards.

The change in momentum is mathematically defined as:

\Delta P=m.v_f-m.v_i

where:

m= mass of the block

v_f= final velocity of the block

v_i= initial velocity of the block

When the block comes to rest it is due to the result of continuously decreasing velocity.

Question #5: Explain how a reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope. List the two different types of reflec
Anni [7]

The main component in a reflecting telescope is a mirror where the light will bounce off and is then focused into a smaller area. In contrast, a refracting telescope uses lenses that focus the light as it travels towards the other end.

Two different types of reflecting telescopes are:

1.Cassegrain reflector

2.Newtonian telescope

Explanation:

  • The distinction between the two is in how they manipulate the incoming light in order to magnify the image. The main component in a reflecting telescope is a mirror where the light will bounce off and is then focused into a smaller area.
  • Key advantage of reflecting telescopes is how big you can make them. With lenses, the maximum size is limited to about one meter, largely because of the problems stated above as well as the skyrocketing costs.
  • The Newtonian telescope, also called the Newtonian reflector, is a type of reflecting telescope invented Sir Isaac Newton, using a concave primary mirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror. The Newtonian telescope's simple design has made it very popular with amateur telescope makers.
  • The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas, the main characteristic being that the optical path folds back onto itself, relative to the optical system's primary mirror entrance aperture.

A non-ideal 12.2 V battery is connected across a resistor R. The internal resistance of the battery is 1.9Ohm. Calculate the pot
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

R=100 Ohm, V=11.97 volts and I=0.12 amperes

R=10 Ohm, V=10.25 volts and I=1.20 amperes

R=2 Ohm, V=6.26 volts

Explanation:

The potential difference (voltage) of a battery with internal resistance is:

V=\xi-Ir (1)

with \xi the electromotive force (the voltage the batteries say to has) , I the current and r the internal resistance. By Ohm's law the current that passes through the resistor is:

I=\frac{V}{R} (2)

using (2) on (1):

V=\xi-\frac{V*r}{R}

solving for V:

V+\frac{V*r}{R}=\xi

V=\frac{\xi}{1+\frac{r}{R}} (3)

R=100 Ohm

V=\frac{12.2}{1+\frac{1.9}{100}}=11.97 V

R=10 Ohm

V=\frac{12.2}{1+\frac{1.9}{10}}=10.25 V

R=2 Ohm

V=\frac{12.2}{1+\frac{1.9}{2}}=6.26 V

Because we have now the values of I on the circuit (is the same through all the components because is a series circuit)

We use back substitution on (1) to find the current:

R=100 Ohm

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{11.97}{100}=0.12 A

R=10 Ohm

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{11.97}{10}=1.20 A
