Answer: 0.5 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency of the George Washington Bridge F = 2.05 Hz

Period T = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles a wave can complete in one second. Hence, frequency is the inverse of period.

i.e F = 1/T

2.05Hz = 1/T

T = 1/2.05Hz

T = 0.488 seconds (Rounded to the nearest tenth as 0.5seconds)

Thus, the period of the George Washington Bridge is 0.5 seconds

The speed of a 2.0-kg object changes from 30 m/s to 40 m/s during a 5.0-second time interval.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

F = 2 * 30 / 5 = 12 N to stop forward motion

F = 2 * 40 / 5 = 16 N to accelerate to 90 degrees

(12^2 + 16^2)^1.2 = 20 N average force applied

Which of the following is true concerning nuclear fusion?

Choice-a is a very rubbery, imprecise, ambiguous, slippery statement. But it's probably less wrong than any of the other choices on the list.

A beam of electrons moving in the x-direction enters a region where a uniform 208-G magnetic field points in the y-direction. Th

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$1.26\cdot 10^7 m/s$

Explanation:

When a charged particle moves perpendicularly to a magnetic field, the force it experiences is:

$F=qvB$

where

q is the charge

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

Moreover, the force acts in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the charge, so it acts as a centripetal force; therefore we can write:

$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit of the particle

The equation can be re-arranges as

$v=\frac{qBr}{m}$

where in this problem we have:

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

$B=208 G=208\cdot 10^{-4}T$ is the strength of the magnetic field

The beam penetrates 3.45 mm into the field region: therefore, this is the radius of the orbit,

$r=3.45 mm = 3.45\cdot 10^{-3} m$

$m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron

So, the electron's speed is

$v=\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(208\cdot 10^{-4})(3.45\cdot 10^{-3})}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}}=1.26\cdot 10^7 m/s$

What what is the change in internal energy if 500 joule of heat is added to a system and 125 joule of work are done on a system

eduard

Answer:

DU = 375 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 500 Joules

Work done = 125 Joules

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.
Q is the quantity of energy.
W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 500 - 125

<em>DU = 375 Joules</em>
