Answer:

option D

Explanation:

Sunspots are the spot that appears on the sun, this spot appears darker than the surrounding surface of the sun.

Sun magnetic field goes through a cycle and this cycle is called the Sunspot cycle. Every 11 years the magnetic field of the sun completely flips. This sunspot cycle affects activity on the surface of the sun.

Sunspot cycle is the pattern of solar activity where an average number of sunspot gradually increase and decrease.

Hence, the correct answer is option D

Which would be the best metal to use for the insulated wire?

katrin2010 [14]

Copper, because it has the lowest specific electrical resistance.

specific electrical resistance aka volume resistivity is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly that material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .

vlabodo [156]

Answer: $90\°$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}c}$ , being $h$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c$ the speed of light in vacuum.

$\theta)$ the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through $180\°$ :

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))$ (2)

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))$

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}$ (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (4)

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (5)

If we want $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}$ , $1-cos\theta$ must be equal to 1:

$1-cos\theta=1$ (6)

Finding $\theta$ :

$1-1=cos\theta$

$0=cos\theta$

$\theta=cos^{-1} (0)$

Finally:

$\theta=90\°$ This is the scattering angle that will produce $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}$

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical ener

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s$

(a) the force constant of the spring

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m$

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

$A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m$
