utrino

IgorLugansk [536]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

The alpha particle has the lowest penetrating power of the trio of alpha, beta and gamma particles and can be stopped by a sheet of paper and hence cannot penetrate a human skin. Beta particle has a higher penetrating power than alpha particle (some of it penetrates the human skin and some do not) while the gamma particle has the highest penetrating power (with all of it penetrating the human skin).

From the above description, it can be deduced that the alpha particle will stay and interact with the hand (because of its low penetrating power) as the remaining particles move through the skin.

A series of optical telescopes produced an image that has a resolution of about 0.00350 arc second.
Mila [183]

Answer:

The smallest diameter is D =122 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The resolution of the telescope is \theta  =  0.00350 \ arc \ second

           The wavelength is  \lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m

From the question we are told that

        1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}

So      0.00350 \ arc \ second = x

Therefore

             x =  0.00350  *  \frac{1}{3600 }

              x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o

Now  1^o  =  \frac{\pi}{180}

   So  (9.722*10^{-7})^o =  \theta

  =>    \theta  =  (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}

           \theta  =  1.69*10^{-8} rad

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented  as

          D = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{\theta  }

substituting values

           D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8}  }

           D =122 \ m

I need help with questions b and d, that’s all.<br><br> Thank you.
Mkey [24]

b).  The power depends on the RATE at which work is done.  

Power = (Work or Energy) / (time)

So to calculate it, you have to know how much work is done AND how much time that takes.

In part (a), you calculated the amount of work it takes to lift the car from the ground to Point-A.  But the question doesn't tell us anywhere how much time that takes.  So there's NO WAY to calculate the power needed to do it.

The more power is used, the faster the car is lifted.  The less power is used, the slower the car creeps up the first hill.  If the people in the car have a lot of time to sit and wait, the car can be dragged from the ground up to Point-A with a very very very small power ... you could do it with a hamster on a treadmill.  That would just take a long time, but it could be done if the power is small enough.

Without knowing the time, we can't calculate the power.

...

d).  Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed squared)

On the way up, the car stops when it reaches point-A.  

On the way down, the car leaves point-A from "rest".

WHILE it's at point-A, it has <u><em>no speed</em></u>.  So it has no (<em>zero</em>) kinetic energy.

If a car is accelerating downhill under a net force 3674 N , what additional force would cause the car to have a constant veloci
Semenov [28]

Answer:

For the car to move with constant velocity the additional force required is  F__{dg} }=  -3674 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The net force of the car is  F_{net} = 3674 \  N

Generally the total  force acting on the  car is the net force plus the force due to gravity acting in direction of the car (Let denote it as F__{dg})

So the total force acting on the car is mathematically represented as

        F_{net} + F__{dg}} = F

Here this F representing the total force can be mathematically represented as

      F =  ma

Now for constant velocity to be attained, the acceleration of the car will be zero  

So  at constant velocity

       F =  m * 0

=>    F =   0 \  N

So  

     F_{net} + F__{dg}} = 0

=>   F__{dg} }=  -F_{net}

=>   F__{dg} }=  -3674 \  N
