Bill pushes Karen backward. What can you say about the forces between Bill and Karen?

Answer:

forces acting on the two will be equal and opposite in nature according to Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Karen, $m$ (let)

then, mass of Bill, $2m$

When they are standing near one another and suddenly Bill pushes Karen then this can be treated as elastic collision and the conservation of momentum applies as:

Sum of final and initial momentum of the system is zero.

$m.v_k-2m.v_b=0$

$2v_b=-v_k$

$v_b=-\frac{v_k}{2}$

But the forces acting on the two will be equal and opposite in nature according to Newton's third law of motion.

The distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating is 1900 nm. The grating is illuminated at normal incidence with a

SashulF [63]

Answer:

3.28 degree

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating, d=1900nm= $1900\times 10^{-9}m$

Where $1nm=10^{-9} m$

$\lambda_2=400nm=400\times10^{-9}m$

$\lambda_1=700nm=700\times 10^{-9}m$

We have to find the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum.

We know that

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})$

Using the formula

m=1

$\theta_1=sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times700\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta=21.62^{\circ}$

Now, m=2

$\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{2\times400\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta_2=24.90^{\circ}$

$\Delta \theta=\theta_2-\theta_1$

$\Delta \theta=24.90-21.62$

$\Delta \theta=3.28^{\circ}$

Hence, the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum=3.28 degree

A 27.0-m steel wire and a 48.0-m copper wire are attached end to end and stretched to a tension of 145 N. Both wires have a radi

algol13

Answer:

The time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of steel wire= 27.0 m

Length of copper wire = 48.0 m

Tension = 145 N

Radius of both wires = 0.450 mm

Density of steel wire $\rho_{s}= 7.86\times10^{3}\ kg/m^{3}$

Density of copper wire $\rho_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\ kg/m^3$

We need to calculate the linear density of steel wire

Using formula of linear density

$\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}A$

$\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\mu_{s}=7.86\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2$

$\mu_{s}=5.00\times10^{-3}\ kg/m$

We need to calculate the linear density of copper wire

Using formula of linear density

$\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}A$

$\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\mu_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2$

$\mu_{c}=5.67\times10^{-3}\ kg/m$

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

$v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{s}}}$

$v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}$

$v_{s}=170.3\ m/s$

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

$v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{c}}}$

$v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.67\times10^{-3}}}$

$v_{c}=159.9\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires

$t=t_{s}+t_{c}$

$t=\dfrac{l_{s}}{v_{s}}+\dfrac{l_{c}}{v_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{27.0}{170.3}+\dfrac{48.0}{159.9}$

$t=0.458\ sec$

$t=458\ ms$

Hence, The time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 7400 N

bezimeni [28]

Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north

Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as

F = ma

The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by

F = Eq

Thus

Eq = ma

a = E * q/ m

Where a = acceleration of charge

E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg

a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31

a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 0.132 * 10^19

a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²

As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)

Find the cube roots of 27(cos 327° + i sin 327° ). Write the answer in trigonometric form.

Sati [7]

Answer:

$z^{\frac{1}{3} }= -0.978 + i\cdot 2.836$ , $z^{\frac{1}{3} }= -1.967 - i\cdot 2.265$ , $z^{\frac{1}{3} }= 2.945 - i\cdot 0.571$

Explanation:

The cube root of the complex number can determined by the following De Moivre's Formula:

$z^{\frac{1}{n} } = r^{\frac{1}{n} }\cdot \left[\cos\left(\frac{x + 2\pi\cdot k}{n} \right) + i\cdot \sin\left(\frac{x+2\pi\cdot k}{n} \right)\right]$

Where angles are measured in radians and k represents an integer between $0$ and $n - 1$ .

The magnitude of the complex number is $27$ and the equivalent angular value is $1.817\pi$ . The set of cubic roots are, respectively:

k = 0

$z^{\frac{1}{3} } = 3\cdot \left[\cos \left(\frac{1.817\pi}{3} \right)+i\cdot \sin\left(\frac{1.817\pi}{3} \right)]$

$z^{\frac{1}{3} }= -0.978 + i\cdot 2.836$

k = 1

$z^{\frac{1}{3} } = 3\cdot \left[\cos \left(\frac{3.817\pi}{3} \right)+i\cdot \sin\left(\frac{3.817\pi}{3} \right)]$

$z^{\frac{1}{3} }= -1.967 - i\cdot 2.265$

k = 2

$z^{\frac{1}{3} } = 3\cdot \left[\cos \left(\frac{5.817\pi}{3} \right)+i\cdot \sin\left(\frac{5.817\pi}{3} \right)]$

$z^{\frac{1}{3} }= 2.945 - i\cdot 0.571$
