A student from Sidney, Australia compares the distance he obtained from the 1-st spark mark to the 25-th spark mark, with the si

milar result of a student who did the experiment in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Both students operated identical setups powered with 60 Hz AC, reported no missing spark marks, and achieved precision of their measurements in four significant figures. What difference in the results was found

Answer:

The difference is obviously due tithe different gravitational constants as a result of variation in radius if the earth in Maryland and sydney

So

To calculate the difference

We use

distance s = 1/2 gt²

T = time difference between first spark and 25th spark will now be

24x (1/F)

= 24/60

= 0.4 sec

Therefore differnce in reading will be 0.5 x(9.8104 - 9.7967)x 0.42

= 0.002877 units

an apple in a tree has a gravitational potential energy of 175J and a mass of 0.36g . how high from the ground is the apple
Neko [114]
The equation for potential energy is denoted as; 

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!





Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

Unpolarized light of intensity Io is incident on a stack of 7 polarizing filters, each with its axis rotated 17°cw with respect
mash [69]

The ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity, I₀ is It/I₀ = 0.2925

To answer the question, we need to know what polarization of light is.

<h3>What is polarization of light?</h3>

This is when the electric field vector of light is oscillating in one plane.

  • Now for light of intensity I' which is initially unpolarized, its intensity after polarization is I = 1/2I'.
  • Also, for light initially polarized, its intensity after polarization is I"' = I"cos²Ф where Ф is the angle between the initial direction and the direction of polarization.
<h3>Intensity of light through each polarized filter</h3>

Given that we have 7 polarizing filters, each rotated 17° cw with respect to the previous filter.

So, since the light is initially unpolarized,

  • The intensity through the first polarizing filter is I₁ = 1/2I₀ where I₀ is the initial intensity.
  • The intensity through the second polarizing filter is I₂ = I₁cos²17°= 1/2I₀cos²17°
  • The intensity through the third polarizing filter is I₃ = I₂cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁴17°
  • The intensity through the fourth polarizing filter is I₄ = I₃cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁶17°
  • The intensity through the fifth polarizing filter is I₅ = I₄cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁸17°
  • The intensity through the sixth polarizing filter is I₆ = I₅cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos¹⁰17°
  • The intensity through the seventh polarizing filter is I₇ = I₆cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos¹²17°.
<h3>The ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity</h3>

Since I₇ is the last intensity I₇ = It = 1/2I₀cos¹²17°.

So, It/I₀ = 1/2cos¹²17°

= 1/2(0.9563)¹²

= 1/2 × 0.5850

= 0.2925

So, the ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity, I₀ is It/I₀ = 0.2925
