3. Name and describe 3 things that can occur when light hits and object. Provide an example of each.

A cube is 4.4 cm on a side, with one corner at the origin. Part 1 (a) What is the unit vector pointing from the origin to the di

Sidana [21]

Answer:

(a) $\hat{A} = \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}}$

(b) $\theta = 85.44^{\circ}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Side of the cube, a = 4.4 cm

Coordinates of the diagonally opposite corner, A = <4.4, 4.4, 4.4> cm

Now,

(a) To calculate the unit vector:

$\hat{A} = \frac{\vec{A}}{|A|}$

$\hat{A} = \frac{4.4\hat{i} + 4.4\hat{j} + 4.4\hat{k}}{\sqrt{()4.4}^{2} + (4.4)^{2} + (4.4)^{2}}$

$\hat{A} = \frac{4.4(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})}{4.4\sqrt{3}}$

$\hat{A} = \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}}$

(b) To calculate the angle between the two vectors say A and A' is given by:

$\vec{A}\cdot \vec{A'} = \vec{A}\vec{A'}cos\theta$

$\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{\vec{A}\cdot \vec{A'}}{\vec{A}\vec{A'}})$ (1)

Now,

The coordinates of the diagonally opposite corner, A' is <0, 0, 1> cm

Thus

$\vec{A'} = 0\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} + 1\hat{k} = \hat{k}$

Now,

Using equation (1) :

$\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{(\frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}})\cdot \hat{k}}{|A||A'|})$

$|A||A'| = (\sqrt{4.4^{2} +4.4^{2} + 4.4^{2}})(\sqrt{0^{2} + 0^{2} + 0^{2}}) = 7.261$

Thus

$\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{7.261})$

$\theta = cos^{- 1}(0.07946) = 85.44^{\circ}$

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are $1.86\times10^{8}$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter $D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm$

$D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m$

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

$Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}$

$Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}$

Hence, The number of atoms are $1.86\times10^{8}$ .

A car is traveling at a 20.0 m/s for 7.00 s and then suddenly comes to a stop over a 3 s period.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: A) Deceleration of the car is -6.6667 m/s² while it came to stop.

B) The total distance the car travels is 200 meter during the 10 s period.

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial velocity of the car ( $v_{i}$ ) = 20.0 m/s

Final velocity of the car ( $v_{f}$ ) = 0 m/s

Time (in motion) =7.00 s

Time (in rest) =3 s

To find - A) car's deceleration while it came to a stop

B) the total distance the car travels in 10 s

A) The formula to find the deceleration is

Deceleration = (( final velocity - initial velocity ) ÷ Time) (m/s²)

Deceleration = (( $v_{f}$ ) - ( $v_{i}$ )) ÷ time (m/s²)

Deceleration = ( 0.0 - 20 ) ÷ 3 (m/s²)

Deceleration = (- 20) ÷ 3 (m/s²)

Deceleration = - 6.6667 m/s²

(NOTE : Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration so the final result must have the negative sign)

The car's deceleration is - 6.6667 m/s² while it came to a stop

B) The formula to find the distance traveled by the car is

Distance traveled by the car is equals to the product of the speed and time

Distance = Speed × Time (meter)

Distance = 20.0 × 10

Distance = 200 meters

The total distance the car travels during the period of 10 s is 200 meters
