Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

While space walking, when the astronaut gets detached from the space ship, she floats in space holding a wrench. In order to get back to the spaceship, she should throw the wrench in the opposite direction of the spaceship. This action would  cause a reaction on her own body and she would be pushed away from the wrench and towards the spaceship. Thus, she can return back to the spaceship in this way.

Ultraviolet light from a distant star is traveling at 3.0 × 108 m/s. How long will it take for the light to reach Earth if it mu
Deffense [45]

Answer : Time taken for the light to reach earth is 3.7\times 10^4\ Hours

Explanation :

Given that,

Speed of Ultraviolet light, v = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Distance covered by the light, d = 4\times 10^{13}\ km=4\times 10^{16}\ km

We have to find the time taken (t) by the light to reach on the surface of earth.

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{4\times 10^{16}\ km}{3\times 10^8\ m/s}

t = 133333333.333 seconds

t=37037.03

or

t=3.7\times 10^4\ Hours

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1.70 m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.550 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 1
Nikitich [7]
Resistance = ρ * (L/A) and Rf = Ri * ([1 + α * (Tf – Ti)] 
ρ = Resistivity L = length in meters A = cross sectional area in m^2 α = temperature coefficient of resistivity 
L = 1.50 m Area = π * r^2 r = d/2 = 0.25 cm = 2.5 * 10^-3 m Area = π * (2.5 * 10^-3)^2 

The cylindrical rod is similar to a resistor. Since the current is decreasing, the resistance must be increasing. This means the resistance is increasing as the temperature increases. Resistance = Voltage ÷ Current At 20˚, R = 15 ÷ 18.5 At 92˚, R = 15 ÷ 17.2 

Now you know the resistance at the two temperatures. Let’s determine the resistivity at the two temperatures. Resistance = ρ * (L/A) ρ = Resistance * (A/L) 
At 20˚, ρ = (15 ÷ 18.5) * [π * (2.5 * 10^-3)^2] ÷ 1.5 = At 92˚, ρ = (15 ÷ 17.2) * [π * (2.5 * 10^-3)^2] ÷ 1.5 = 
Now you know the resistivity at the two temperatures. Let’s determine the temperature coefficient of resistivity for the material of the rod. 
Rf = Ri * ([1 + α * (Tf – Ti)] Rf = 15 ÷ 17.2, Ri = 15 ÷ 18.5, Tf = 92˚, Ti = 20˚ 
15 ÷ 17.2 = 15 ÷ 18.5 * [1 + α * (92 – 20)] Multiply both sides by (18.5 ÷ 15) (18.5 ÷ 15) * (15 ÷ 17.2) = 1 + α * 72 Subtract 1 from both sides (18.5 ÷ 15) * (15 ÷ 17.2) – 1 = α * 72 Divide both sides by 72 α = 1.05 * 10^-3

A glass optical fiber is used to transport a light ray across a long distance. The fiber has an index of refraction of 1.540 and
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

73.13°

Explanation:

According to snell's law,

n1sinθi = n2sinθr

n1/n2 = sinθr/sinθi

Critical angle is the angle of incidence at the denser medium when the angle of incidence at the less dense medium is 90°

This means i=C and r = 90°

The Snell's law formula will become

n1/n2 = sinC/sin90°

n2/n1 = 1/sinC

Where n1 is the refractive index of the less dense medium = 1.473

n2 is the refractive index of the denser medium = 1.540

Substituting the values in the formula,

1.540/1.473 = 1/sinC

1.045 = 1/sinC

SinC = 1/1.045

SinC = 0.957

C = sin^-1(0.957)

C = 73.13°

What are the horizontal and vertical velocities of a stunt bike that leaves a ramp at 100 km/hr and at an angle of 35 degrees?
Alex787 [66]

Horizontal velocity: 81.9 km/h

Vertical velocity: 57.4 km/h

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by resolving the velocity vector into its component along the horizontal and vertical direction.

The horizontal velocity of the stunt bike is given by:

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v = 100 km/h is the magnitude of the velocity

\theta=35^{\circ} is the angle of projection

Substituting, we find

v_x = (100)(cos 35^{\circ})=81.9 km/h

The vertical velocity instead is given by

v_y = v sin \theta

where

v=100 km/h

\theta=35^{\circ}

Substituting,

v_y = (100)(sin 35^{\circ})=57.4 km/h
