6.1.115 To approximate the speed of the current of a​ river, a circular paddle wheel with radius 4 ft. is lowered into the water

. If the current causes the wheel to rotate at a speed of 18 revolutions per​ minute, what is the speed of the​ current?

Answer:

1.2 ft/s or 72 ft/min

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the relationship between the angular and linear speed for this particular movement (rotation). As the speed of the current is tangent to the trajectory of the wheel we can define as follows:

v=  \omega r=18  \frac{rev}{min} \times \frac{1min}{60s}\times 4 ft\\v= 1.2 \frac{ft}{s}= 72 \frac{ft}{min}

The speed of the current is 72 ft/min

Kaushik had three pendulum bobs made of steel of the same length but different masses of 10 g, 50 g and 100 g respectively. When
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

c. Time period remains the same in all.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we need to analyze the parameters, upon which the time period of a pendulum depends. We know that the time of a pendulum is given by the following formula:

T = 2π√(L/g)

where,

T = Time period

L = Length of pendulum

g = acceleration due to gravity

The formula clearly shows that the time period of the pendulum depends only upon the length of pendulum and value of g. And the time period of a pendulum does not depend upon the mass of the bob. Hence, the time period for each of the three pendulums will remain same. So, the correct option will be:

<u>c. Time period remains the same in all.</u>

The electron's velocity at that instant is purely horizontal with a magnitude of 2 \times 10^5 ~\text{m/s}2×10 ​5 ​​ m/s then ho
Lesechka [4]

Complete question:

At a particular instant, an electron is located at point (P) in a region of space with a uniform magnetic field that is directed vertically and has a magnitude of 3.47 mT. The electron's velocity at that instant is purely horizontal with a magnitude of 2×10​⁵​​ m/s then how long will it take for the particle to pass through point (P) again? Give your answer in nanoseconds.

[<em>Assume that this experiment takes place in deep space so that the effect of gravity is negligible.</em>]

Answer:

The time it will take the particle to pass through point (P) again is 1.639 ns.

Explanation:

F = qvB

Also;

F = \frac{MV}{t}

solving this two equations together;

\frac{MV}{t} = qVB\\\\t = \frac{MV}{qVB} = \frac{M}{qB}

where;

m is the mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

q is the charge of electron = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

B is the strength of the magnetic field = 3.47 x 10⁻³ T

substitute these values and solve for t

t = \frac{M}{qB} = \frac{9.11 *10^{-31}}{1.602*10^{-19}*3.47*10^{-3}} = 1.639 *10^{-9}  \ s \ = 1.639 \ ns

Therefore, the time it will take the particle to pass through point (P) again is 1.639 ns.

What is a constellation as astronomers define it today? What does it mean when an astronomer says, “I saw a comet in Orion last
MissTica

Explanation:

Constellation: The complete sky has been divided in 88 different areas, in a way we have divided Earth in countries, not necessarily having same shapes and size. These 88 areas are known as constellations. These contains a lot of stars. When we join the brightest stars together we can imagine a shape out of them which is called as Asterism. Most of the people are unaware of this difference. Some of the famous constellations are Orion, Taurus, Gemini, Hydra, Ursa Major etc.

When an astronomer says that there is a comet is in the Orion, he means that a comet is in the boundaries of Orion constellation.
