I took the test, its constructive interference

Edit: this is kind of a trick question. took the test again it was the same question yet this time the answer was destructive. Good luck with that

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is F1. Planet 2, which is twice as massive as planet 1 and orbits at t

Andrej [43]

Answer:

ratio = 1 : 4.5

Explanation:

If m₁ is the mass of the star and m₂ the mass of the planet, the force of gravity F₁ for planet 1 is given by:

$F_1=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

The force F₂:

$F_2=\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(3r)^2}$

The ratio:

$\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{2}{9}$

A 0.35 m2 coil with 50 turns rotates at 5 radians per sec2 in a magnetic field of 0.6 Tesla. What is the value of the rms curren

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

11.25 amps

Explanation:

For transformers, the magnetic flux

$\Phi _{max} = \beta \times A$

Therefore;

$\Phi _{max} = 0.6 \times 0.35 = 0.21 \ Weber$

Ф = Фmax (cosωt) = 0.21·(cos(5·t))

From Faraday's law of induction, we have;

ε = -N × dΦ/dt

Which gives;

dΦ/dt = -1.05(sin (5t) )

ε = -N × dΦ/dt = -50× -1.05(sin (5t) )

ε = 52.5(sin (5t) )

I = ε/R = 52.5(sin (5t) )/3.3 = 15.9091(sin (5t) ) amps

The peak current is therefore = 15.9091 amps

The rms current = Peak current /√2 = 15.9091/(√2) = 11.25 amps.

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the di

vekshin1

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$

where D = 100, 000 ly

Let's divide the Area by the number of civilization; if we do that ; we will be able to get 'n' disk that is randomly distributed; so ;

$d= \frac{A}{N} =\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$

The distance between each disk is further calculated by finding the radius of the density which is shown as follows:

$d = \pi r^2 e$

$r^2_e= \frac{d}{\pi}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{d}{\pi} }$

replacing d = $\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$ in the equation above; we have:

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}{\pi} }$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{100,000}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = 500 ly$

The distance (s) between each civilization = $2(r_e)$

= 2 (500 ly)

= 1000 light-years (ly)

Find the wavelength of the third line in the lyman series, and identify the type of em radiation.

Natalija [7]

The wavelength of the third line in the Lyman series, and identify the type of EM radiation

In this series, the spectral lines are obtained when an electron makes a transition from any high energy level (n=2,3,4,5... ). The wavelength of light emitted in this series lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

1 / lambda = R(h)* ( $\frac{1}{(n1)^{2} }$ - $\frac{1}{(n2)^{2} }$ )
