Two people are standing on a 3.12-m-long platform, one at each end. The platform floats parallel to the ground on a cushion of a

ir, like a hovercraft. The two people, the platform and a 3.36-kg ball are all initially at rest. One person throws the 3.36-kg ball to the other, who catches it. The ball travels nearly horizontally. Excluding the ball, the total mass of the platform and people is 119 kg. Because of the throw, this 119-kg mass recoils.

Answer:

The magnitude of displacement is 0.082m

Explanation:

While the ball is in motion,we have MV + mv= 0 ...eq1

Where M = combined mass of the platform and the two people.

V = velocity of the platform

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity of the ball

The distance that the platform moves is given by:

X = Vt ...eq2

Where t is the time that the ball is in the air.

The time the ball is in the air is given by:

L/(v-V) ...eq3

Where L is the length of the platform

The quantity(v-V) = velocity of the ball relative to the platform.

Combining eq2 and eq3

X = (V/(v - V))L

From eq1 , the ratios of the velocities is V/v = -m/M

X = (V/v)L / (1 - (V/v) = (-m/M) L /(1+ (m/M))

X = -mL/(M + m)

X = - (3.36kg × 3.12m) /( 119kg + 3.36kg)

X = - 10.48/ 122.36

X = -0.082m

The minus sign implies that the displacement of the platform is in the opposite direction to the displacement of the ball.

Therefore, the distance moved by the platform is the magnitude of this displacement 0.082m.

Answer:

Displacement = 0.086m

Explanation:

Given

M = Combined mass of the two people and the platform = 119kg

m = mass of the ball = 3.36kg

v = velocity of the ball

V = Recoil velocity of the platform

t = time spent by the ball in the air

L = length of the platform = 3.12m

MV + mv = 0

The distance moved by the platform is given by; x = Vt

Where t = L/(v - V)

v - V represents the velocity of the ball relative to the platform.

Substitute L/(v - V) for t

so, x = VL/(v-V)

From (MV + mv = 0), we have

MV = -mv

V/v = -m/M

So, x = VL/(v-V) becomes

x = ((V/v)L)/(1 - V/v)

x = ((-m/M)L)/(1 + m/M)

x = -mL/(M+m)

x = -(3.36 * 3.12)/(3.36 + 119)

x = -0.08567505720823798627002

x = -0.086m

The negative sign implies that the displacement of the platform is in the opposite direction to the displacement of the ball.

The distance moved by the platform before coming to rest is 0.086m

A circular wire loop of radius 15.0 cm carries a current of 2.60
Korolek [52]
Part (a): Magnetic dipole moment

Magnetic dipole moment = IA, I = Current, A = Area of the loop
Then,
Magnetic dipole moment = 2.6*π*0.15^2 = 0.184 Am^2

Part (b): Torque acting on the loop
T = IAB SinФ, where B = Magnetic field, Ф = Angle
Then,
T = Magnetic dipole moment*B*SinФ = 0.184*12*Sin 41 = 1.447 Nm

Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.84 keV from the co
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

λ  = 65.6 pm

Explanation:

Given that

λo = 65 pm

The initial energy of the electron

E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }

Now by putting the values

E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }

E_o=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{65\times 10^{-12}}

E_o=3.05\times 10^{-15}\ J

E_o=\dfrac{3.05\times 10^{-15}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 10^3}\ KeV

Eo=19.06 KeV

Given that kinetic energy KE= 0.84 KeV

Therefore the final energy

E= Eo - KE

E = 19.06 - 0.84 KeV

E= 18.22 KeV

The wavelength  λ can be find as

E=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{hC}{E}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{19.06 \times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

λ = 6.56 x 10⁻¹¹ m

λ  = 65.6 pm

Consider a sealed 20 cm high electronic box whose base dimensions are 40cm x 40cm placed in a vacuum chamber. The emissivity of
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

T_{surr}=296.289\ K

In Celsius:

T_{surr}=296.289-273\\T_{surr}=23.289^oC

Explanation:

The formula we are going to use is:

\dot Q_{rad}=\epsilon\sigma A_s(T_s^4-T_{surr}^4)

Where:

ε is the emissivity

σ is the Stefan constant

T_s is the final temperature of surrounding surfaces

T_{surr} is the required temperature

A_s is the are of surrounding surface

Calculating The area:

A_s=(0.4)(0.4)+4(0.4)(0.2)\\A_s=0.48\ m^2

σ= 5.67*10^{-8}\ W/m^2.K^4

ε =0.95

T_s=55+273

T_s=328 K

\dot Q_{rad=100 W

100=0.95(5.67*10^{-8})(0.48)(328^4-T_{surr}^4)\\3867693926=(328^4-T_{surr}^4)\\T_{surr}^4=7706623130\\T_{surr}=296.289\ K

In Celsius:

T_{surr}=296.289-273\\T_{surr}=23.289^oC
