Explain how a theodolite works.

Physics
1 answer:
Oksana_A [137]3 years ago
5 0
The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.

a dragster gets to a peed of 112m/s over a distance of 300m from rest. Determine the acceleration of the dragster.
madreJ [45]

A dragster gets to a speed of 112 m/s over a distance of 300 m from the rest, then the acceleration will be 20.9 m/s².

<h3>What is Acceleration?</h3>

The rate of change in an object's velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration in mechanics. The vector quantity of accelerations. The direction of the net force that is acting on an object determines its acceleration.

Since acceleration has both a magnitude and a direction, it is a vector quantity. Velocity is a vector quantity as well. The definition of acceleration is the change in velocity vector over a time interval divided by the time interval.

According to the question, the given values are :

Final velocity, v = 112 m/s.

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Distance, s = 300 m.

Use the equation of motion,

v² - u² = 2as

112 ² - 0 = 2 (a)(300)

a = 12544/600

a = 20.9 m/s².

Hence, the acceleration of the dragster will be 20.9 m/s².

What is the amount of a certain isotope that occurs in a natural sample of an element
amid [387]
I believe it is the percent abundance. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with similar atomic number but different mass number. Natural abundance is the abundance of isotopes of a chemical element as naturally found on the planet. The relative atomic mass of these isotopes is the atomic weight listed for the element in the periodic table.

Q 29.1 a sheet of copper is placed between the poles of an electromagnet with the magnetic field perpendicular to the sheet. whe
Karolina [17]

(a) The force required to remove the sheet increases with increase in speed due to change in magnetic flux.

(b) The area in the magnetic field changes as the sheet is being put in between the poles. Thus, a force would be required to put the sheets.

<h3>Change in magnetic flux </h3>

When the sheet is pulled out, from the electromagnet there is change in magnetic flux given as follows;

Ф = BA

where;

  • B is magnetic field
  • A is area

emf = dФ/dt

F = qVB

Thus, the force required to remove the sheet increases with increase in speed due to change in magnetic flux.

Also, the area in the magnetic field changes as the sheet is being put in between the poles. Thus, a force would be required to put the sheets.
