As the earth rotates through one revolution, a person standing on the equator traces out a circular path whose radius is equal t

o the radius of the earth (6.38×10^6). What is the average speed of this person in meters per second? If we are standing in latitude 43° north what is our average speed?

Answer:

The average speed will be "1038 mph".

Explanation:

Period for one revolution is:

T = 24 hours

= 86,400 sec

x = c = 2πr

The given values is:

r = 6.38×10⁶ m

Now,

⇒ $T=\frac{2 \pi r}{v}$

Or,

⇒ $v=\frac{2 \pi r}{T}$

On substituting the values, we get

$=\frac{2 \pi (6.38\times 10^6)}{86,400}$

$=464 \ min/sec$

$=(464 \frac{min}{sec}) (\frac{3600 \ sec}{1 \ hour} )(\frac{1 \ mi}{1609 \ m} )$

$=1038 \ mph$

A diffraction grating is illuminated simultaneously with red light of wavelength 670 nm and light of an unknown wavelength. The

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

dsin∅ = m× λ

so, dsin∅red = 3(670nm)

also, dsin∅? =5λ?

however ,if they overlap then dsin∅red = dsin∅?

3(670nm) /5 =402nm

∴λ = 402nm

If a soap bubble is 115 nm thick, what wavelength is most strongly reflected at the center of the outer surface when illuminated

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$611.8$ nm

Explanation:

$n_{oil}$ = Index of refraction of soap bubble = 1.33

$t$ = thickness of the soap bubble = 115 nm = 115 x 10⁻⁹ m

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = ?

$m$ = order = 0

For reflection , the necessary condition is

$2 n_{oil} t = (m + 0.5) \lambda$

$2 (1.33)(115\times 10^{-9})= (0 + 0.5) \lambda$

$\lambda = 6.118\times 10^{-7}$

$\lambda = 611.8$ nm

elena55 [62]

Answer:

a) $\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$ , b) $\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force experimented by a particle has the following vectorial form:

$\vec F_{B} = q\cdot \vec v \times \vec B$

The charge of the electron is equal to $-1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product can be solved by using determinants:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\-4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &-5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

b) The charge of the proton is equal to $1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product has the following determinant:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$
