A 12.0-cm long cylindrical rod has a uniform cross-sectional area A = 5.00 cm2. However, its density increases linearly from 2.6

0 g/cm3 at one end to 18.5 g/cm3 at the other end. This linearly increasing density can be described using the equation ???? = B + Cx. (a) Find the constants B and C required for this rod, assuming the low-density end is placed at x = 0 cm and the high-density end is at x = 12 cm. (b) The mass of the rod can be found using:m=dV=Adx=(B+Cx)Adx

Answer:

(a) The constants required describing the rod's density are B=2.6 and C=1.325.

(b) The mass of the road can be found using $A\int_0^{12}\left(B+Cx)dx$

Explanation:

(a) Since the density variation is linear and the coordinate x begins at the low-density end of the rod, we have a density given by

$2.6\frac{g}{cm^3}+\frac{18.5\frac{g}{cm^3}-2.6\frac{g}{cm^3}}{12 cm}x = 2.6\frac{g}{cm^3}+1.325x\frac{g}{cm^2}$

recalling that the coordinate x is measured in centimeters.

(b) The mass of the rod can be found by having into account the density, which is x-dependent, and the volume differential for the rod:

$m=\int\rho dv=\int\left(B+Cx\right)Adx=5\int_0^{12}\left(2.6+1.325x\right)dx=126.6$ ,

hence, the mass of the rod is 126.6 g.

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the distance to the screen is 100 cm. What is the phas

Anni [7]

Answer:

The phase difference is $\Delta \phi = 180^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between the slits is $d = 0.2 \ mm = \frac{0.2}{1000} = 0.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance to the screen is $D = 100 cm = \frac{100}{100} = 1 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 400nm$

The distance of the wave from the central maximum is $L = 5mm = 5*10^{-3} m$

Generally the path difference of this waves is mathematically represented as

$y = d sin \theta$

Here $\theta$ is the angle between the the line connecting the mid-point of the slits with the screen and the line connecting the mid-point of the slits to the central maximum

This implies that

$tan \theta = \frac{L}{D}$

=> $\theta = tan ^{-1} \frac{L}{D}$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{5*10^{-3}}{1}]$

$\theta =0.2865$

Substituting values into the formula for path difference

$y = 0.2 *10^{-3} sin(0.2864)$

$y = 9.997*10^{-7} \ m$

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda } * y$

Substituting values

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{400 *10^{-9} } \ * 9.997*10^{-7}$

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi$

Converting to degree

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi radians = 5 (180^o) = 180^o$

the solution is subtracted by 360° in order to get the actual angle

Two subway stops are separated by 1210 m. If a subway train accelerates at 1.30 m/s2 from rest through the first half of the dis

solong [7]

Answer:

Part 1) Time of travel equals 61 seconds

Part 2) Maximum speed equals 39.66 m/s.

Explanation:

The final speed of the train when it completes half of it's journey is given by third equation of kinematics as

$v^{2}=u^2+2as$

where

'v' is the final speed

'u' is initial speed

'a' is acceleration of the body

's' is the distance covered

Applying the given values we get

$v^2=0+2\times 1.30\times \frac{1210}{2}\\\\v^{2}=1573\\\\\therefore v=39.66m/s$

Now the time taken to attain the above velocity can be calculated by the first equation of kinematics as

$v=u+at\\\\v=0+1.30\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{39.66}{1.30}=30.51seconds$

Since the deceleration is same as acceleration hence the time to stop in the same distance shall be equal to the time taken to accelerate the first half of distance

Thus total time of journey equals $T=2\times 30.51\approx61seconds$

Part b)

the maximum speed is reached at the point when the train ends it's acceleration thus the maximum speed reached by the train equals $39.66m/s$
