A revolving searchlight on an island 6 miles from shore turns at the rate of 2 revolutions per minute in the clockwise direction

. At what speed is the light beam travelling along the straight shoreline the instant it makes an angle of 45◦ with the shoreline? (recall: one revolution = 2π radians.)

Answer:

 Revolving velocity = 2 km/s

Explanation:

Velocity of circular motion = Radius x Angular velocity.

Angular velocity, ω = 2πf, where f is the frequency of circular motion.

Here frequency, f = 2 revolutions per minute

                     f = \frac{2}{60} =0.033revolutions per second.  

Angular velocity, ω = 2πf = 0.209 radians/second.

Radius = 6 miles = 6 x 1.6 x 10³ = 9.6 x 10³ m.

Linear velocity =  9.6 x 10³ x 0.209 = 2006.4 m/s= 2 km/s

Revolving velocity = 2 km/s

Images formed by a convex mirror are always ​
gladu [14]

Answer:

Images formed by a convex mirror are always ​virtual

Explanation:

A virtual image is always created by a convex mirror, and it is always situated behind the mirror. The picture is vertical and situated at the focus point when the item is far away from the mirror. As the thing approaches the mirror, the image follows suit and increases until it reaches the same height as the object.

What is the wavelength (in air) of a 13.0 khz vlf radio wave?
bonufazy [111]
Since,
Speed = Frequency * WaveLength

=> WaveLength = Speed / Frequency --- (A)

Frequency = 13.0 kHz.
As the radio waves are electromagnetic waves, their speed is equals to the speed of light. Therefore,
Speed = C = 3 *  10^{8}  m/ s^{2}

Plug in the values in equation(A):

A => WaveLength = \frac{3 * 10^{8}}{13*10^{3}}

Ans: Wavelength = 23.077 kilometers.

32. (FR) A mass moving at 25 m/s slides along a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction is 0.30. (A) Use force and
scoray [572]

Answer:

A)s = 104.16 m

b)s= 104.16 m

Explanation:

Given that

u = 25 m/s

μ = 0.3

The friction force will act opposite to the direction of motion.

Fr= μ m g

Fr= -  m a

a=acceleration

μ m g = - m a

a= - μ g

a= - 0.3 x 10 m/s²          ( take g= 10 m/s²)

a= - 3  m/s²

The final speed of the mass is zero ,v= 0

We know that

v² = u² +2 a s

s=distance

0² = 25² - 2 x 3 x s

625 = 6 s

s = 104.16 m

By using energy conservation

Work done by all the forces =Change in the kinetic energy

- Fr.s=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

Negative sign because force act opposite to the displacement.

- \mu\ m\ g \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

-\mu\ g \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2-\dfrac{1}{2}u^2

-0.3\times 10\times \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 25^2

- 3 x 2 x s = - 625

s= 104.16 m
