Answer:

a.87.6 m/s

b.18.25 Hz

Explanation:

the equation for the wave speed is expressed as

v=\sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m}}\\

where v is the speed,

           T is the tension in Newton

           l is the length

and      m is the mass

Now since

T=8.0N\\m=2.5g=0.0025kg\\l= 240cm=2.40cm\\

by substituting values into the equation, we have

v=\sqrt{\frac{8*2.40}{0.0025} } \\v=87.6m/s\\

b. the expression for the frequency is giving as

Frequency,f=\frac{v}{2l} \\f=\frac{87.6}{2*2.40} \\f=18.25Hz\\.

Note we 2L as the wavelength because we solving for the fundamental frequency as stated in the question.

Through what potential difference would you need to accelerate an alpha particle, starting from rest, so that it will just reach
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V

Explanation:

GIVEN

diameter = 15 fm  =15 \times 10^{-15}m

we use here energy conservation

K_{i}+U_{i} =K_{f}+U_{f}

there will be some initial kinetic  energy but after collision kinetic energy will zero

K_{i} + 0 = 0 + \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _{0}} \frac{(2e)(92e)}{7.5 \times 10^{-15}}

on solving these equations we get kinetic energy initial

KE_{i} = 5.65\times 10 ^{-12} \times \frac  {1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

KE_{i} = 35.33 J ..............(i)

That is, the alpha particle must be fired with 35.33 MeV of kinetic energy. An alpha particle with charge q = 2  e

and gains kinetic energy K  =e∆V  ..........(ii)

 by accelerating through a potential difference ∆V

Thus the alpha particle will

just reach the {238}_U nucleus after being accelerated through a potential difference  ∆V

equating (i) and second equation we get

e∆V  = 35.33 Me V

\Delta V = \frac{35.33}{2}  MV\\\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V

The tungsten filament of a light bulb has an operating temperature of about 2 100 K. If the emitting area of the filament is 1.0
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

75 W

Explanation:

T = temperature of the filament = 2100 K

A = Emitting area of the filament = 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²

e = Emissivity = 0.68

\sigma = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Using Stefan's law, Power output of the light bulb is given as

P = \sigma e AT^{4} \\P = (5.67\times10^{-8}) (0.68) (10^{-4}) (2100)^{4}\\P = 75 W
