Answer:

It will take both pumps 3.08 hours to fill the tank working together.

Explanation:

Pump A can fill the tank in 5 hours. Assuming that the pump gives out a steady flow of water, in one hour, pump A can fill 1/5th of the tank. Similarly, pump B in an hour, fills up 1/8th of the tank.

We must add up these two values, in order to find how much of the tank the two pumps can fill up together in one hour.

1/5 +1/8 =13/40

So 13/40 of the tank is filled in an hour. We need to find how many hours it will take for the entire tank to be filled. To do so, divide 40 by 13. This gives:

3.08 hours to fill up the tank.

A magnetic field is entering into a coil of wire with radius of 2(mm) and 200 turns. The direction of magnetic field makes an an
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

b) <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

c) <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

Explanation:

The radius of the wire r = 2 mm = 0.002 m

the number of turns N = 200 turns

direction of the magnetic field ∅ = 25°

magnetic field strength B = 0.02 T

varying time = 2 sec

The cross sectional area of the wire = \pi r^{2}

==> A = 3.142 x 0.002^{2} = 1.257 x 10^-5 m^2

Field flux Φ = BA cos ∅ = 0.02 x 1.257 x 10^-5 x cos 25°

==> Φ = 2.278 x 10^-7 Wb

The induced EMF is given as

E = NdΦ/dt

where dΦ/dt = (2.278 x 10^-7)/2 = 1.139 x 10^-7

E = 200 x 1.139 x 10^-7 = <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) If the two ends are connected to a resistor of 20 Ω, the current through the resistor is given as

I = E/R

where R is the resistor

I = (2.278 x 10^-5)/20 = <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em> </em>c) power delivered to the resistor is given as

P = IE

P = (1.139 x 10^-6) x (2.278 x 10^-5) = <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

Suppose you want to make an interferometer with two slits to show the wave nature of light to your friends. The most convenient
nevsk [136]

Answer:

a) the pattern is bright,  b)  y = 8.25 mm, c) the distance increases with the wavelength increases

Explanation:

This is a team building exercise to perform interference experiments, where the separation of the slits is d = 1 m = 1 10⁻³ m and the distance to the screen L = 1.5 m  

Constructive interference occurs when the path difference is equal to an integer number of wavelengths  

             d sin θ = m λ  

a) The center of the two-ray pattern has the same length so the intensity is MAXIMUM, that is, the pattern is bright  

b) to find the distance let's use trigonometry  

   tan θ= y / L  

   tan θ =sin θ/cos θ= sin θ  

because the angles are small  

we substitute  

     y = \frac{m \lambda L}{d} 

let's calculate  

     y = 10 550 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

     y = 8.25 10⁻³ m

c) for this part the incident light must be white or polychrome light  

let's find the distance (y) for some colors, in the first order  

Violet λ = 400  

y = 1 400 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 6 10⁻⁴ m  

green λ = 500 nm  

y = 1 500 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 7.5 10⁻⁴ m  

yellow λ = 600 nm  

y = 1 600 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1.10⁻³  

y = 9 10⁻⁴ m  

lam λ = 700 nm  

y = 1 700 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1. 10⁻³  

y = 1.05 10⁻³ m  

violet, green, orange, red  

the distance increases with the wavelength increases

d) To find the wavelength we must measure the distance y from the center of the slit for various interference orders and using the equation we can find the wavelength of rationality

Q. At what point in a waterfall do the drops of water contain the most kinetic energy ?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

2.When they reach the bottom of the fall

Explanation:

The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with  decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).

Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall

What is special about nitrogen, and what is its main function in the atmosphere
Vlad [161]
Nitrogen is the most abundant of the gases present in the atmosphere. 78 percent of the atmospheric air comprises of nitrogen, oxygen makes up for 21 percent and all other gases make up for the remaining one percent. Oxygen is a highly flammable gas and in the absence of nitrogen it would not have been possible to utilize this atmospheric oxygen, hence the presence of nitrogen reduces its flammability and also neutralizes the toxicity of other gases.
