You are using a small telescope to view two closely spaced light bulbs located a mile away. Each light bulb is emitting blue lig

ht. At this distance, the light bulbs are still too close together for you to distinguish them as separate bulbs. If they were emitting red light instead, would you have a better or worse chance of distinguishing them as separate bulbs?

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on resolving power of instruments . Resolving power of instruments is related to wavelength of light as follows

resolving power of telescope ∝  1 / λ

Higher the resolving power closer the object that can be looked separately.

Wave length of blue light is shorter than that of red light so resolving power in case of blue light will be higher. So we have better chance of distinguishing separate bulbs when color light is blue.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

U1 = 1.6 m/s

U2 = -1.1 m/s

M1 = 1850 kg

M2 = 1400 kg

V1 = 0.27 m/s

Using momentum- collision equation,

M1U1 + M2U2 = M1V1 + M2V2

1850 × 1.6 - 1400 × 1.1 = 1850 × 0.27 + 1400 × V2

1420 = 499.5 + 1400V2

V2 = 0.6575 m/s

B.

KE = 1/2 × MV^2

KEa1 + KEa2 = KEb1 + KEb2

Delta KE = KE2 - KE1

KEa1 = 2368 J

KEb1 = 847 J

KEa2 = 67.433 J

KEb2 = 302.6 J

KE1 = KEa1 + KEb1

= 3215 J

KE2 = 370.033 J

Delta KE = -2845 J.

What is the main difference between an internal cumbustion engine and a external combination engine
aleksandrvk [35]
Internal and external combustion engines are two types of heat engines: they convert thermal energy into mechanical energy. The main difference between internal and external combustion engine is that in internal combustion engines, the working fluid burns inside the cylinder, whereas in external combustion engines, combustion takes place outside the cylinder and heat is then transferred to the working fluid.

(a) Triply charged uranium-235 and uranium-238 ions are being separated in a mass spectrometer. (The much rarer uranium-235 is u
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 cm

(b) Yes

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of Uranium-235 ion, m = 3.95\times 10^{- 25}\ kg

Mass of Uranium- 238, m' = 3.90\times 10^{- 25}\ kg

Velocity, v = 3.00\times 10^{5}\ m/s

Magnetic field, B = 0.250 T

q = 3e

Now,

To calculate the path separation while traversing a semi-circle:

\Delta x = 2(R_{U_{35}} - 2R_{U_{38}})

The radius of the ion in a magnetic field is given by:

R = \frac{mv}{qB}

\Delta x = 2(R_{U_{35}} - 2R_{U_{38}})

\Delta x = 2(\frac{mv}{qB} - \frac{m'v}{qB})

\Delta x = 2(\frac{m - m'}{qB}v)

Now,

By putting suitable values in the above eqn:

\Delta x = 2(\frac{3.95\times 10^{- 25} - 3.90\times 10^{- 25}}{3\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19}\times 0.250}\times 3.00\times 10^{5}) = 2.5\ cm

\Delta x = 1.25\ cm

(b) Since the order of the distance is in cm, thus clearly this distance is sufficiently large enough in practical for the separation of the two uranium isotopes.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer: The electric field is given in three regions well defined; 0<r<2; 2<r<4; 4<r<5 and r>5

Explanation:  In order to solve this problem  we have to use the gaussian law in the mentioned regions.

Region 1; 0<r<2

∫E.ds=Qinside the gaussian surface/ε0

inside of the solid conducting sphere the elevctric field is zero because the charge is located at the surface on this sphere.

Region 2; 2<r<4;

E.4*π*r^2=8,84/ε0

E=8,84/(4*π*ε0*r^2)

Region 3; 4<r<5

E=0 because is inside the conductor.

Finally

Region 4; r>5

E.4*π*r^2=(8,84-2.02)/ε0
