Malcolm and Ravi raced each other. The average of their maximum speeds was 260 km/h If doubled, Malcolm's maximum speed would be

80km/h end text more than Ravi's maximum speed. What were Malcolm's and Ravi's maximum speeds

Answer

Given,

Average speed of Malcolm and Ravi = 260 km/h

Let speed of the Malcolm be X and speed of the Ravi Y.

From the given statement

$\dfrac{X+Y}{2}=260$

$X + Y = 520$ ....(i)

$2X - Y = 80$ ....(ii)

Adding both the equations

3 X = 600

X = 200 km/h

Putting value in equation (i)

Y = 520 - 200

Y = 320 Km/h

Speed of Malcolm = 200 Km/h

Speed of Ravi = 320 Km/h

In physics, why would an equation like y=mx+b be plotted as a straight line rather than as a parabola, as is done in math?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Both Physics and Math

y=mx+b is plotted as straight line where

m=slope of line

b=intercept on Y-axis

whereas Equation of parabola is something like this

$y^2=4ax$

or

$x^2=4ay$

Math is a tool to solve Physics problems so equations are same in math and physics

A thin soap bubble of index of refraction 1.33 is viewed with light of wavelength 550.0nm and appears very bright. Predict a pos

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The possible thickness of the soap bubble = $1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Refractive index of the soap bubble, $\mu=1.33.$
Wavelength of the light taken, $\lambda = 550.0\ nm = 550.0\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Let the thickness of the soap bubble be $t$ .

It is given that the soap bubble appears very bright, it means, there is a constructive interference takes place.

For the constructive interference of light through a thin film ( soap bubble), the condition of constructive interference is given as:

$2\mu t=\left ( m+\dfrac 12 \right )\lambda.$

where $m$ is the order of constructive interference.

Since the soap bubble is appearing very bright, the order should be 0, as $0^{th}$ order interference has maximum intensity.

Thus,

$2\mu t=\left (0+\dfrac 12\right )\lambda\\t=\dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu}\\\ \ = \dfrac{550\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.33}\\\ \ = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.$

It is the possible thickness of the soap bubble.

You are working in cooperation with the Public Health department to design an electrostatic trap for particles from auto emissio

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Charge (q) on the particle = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C

mass (m) of the particle = 6 × 10⁻⁹ kg

at a distance x = 15 cm , the velocity in the plate = 900 m/s²

For the square plate, the surface charged density σ = -8 × 10⁻⁶ C/m²

To start with calculating the electric field as a result of the square plate; we use the formula;

$E = \dfrac{\sigma }{2 \varepsilon_o}$

$E = \dfrac{8 \times 10^{-6} }{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$

$E = 4.51977 \times 10^5 \ V/m$

On the square plate; The electric force F = Eq

$F = (4.51977 \times 10^5 \ V/m )(3\times 10^{-8} \ C)$

$F = 1.3559 \times 10^{-2} \ N$

The acceleration $a =\dfrac{ F}{m}{$

$a = \dfrac{1.3559\times 10^{-2} \ N}{6 \times 10^{-9} \ Kg}$

$a = 2.25988 \times 10^6 \ m/s^2$

For the particle, the velocity at distance x = 7 m can be calculated by using the formula:

$(\dfrac{1}{2}) mv^2 = \Delta Vq$

$v^2 = \dfrac{2 Eq}{dm}$

$v^2 = \dfrac{2 * 4.51977 \times 10^5 \times 3 \times 10^{-8} }{0.07 \times 6\times 10^{-9} }$

$v^2 = 64568142.86 \ m/s$

$v =\sqrt{ 64568142.86 \ m/s}$

$\mathbf{v = 8.035 \times 10^3 \ m/s}$

From the calculation, we realize that the charge acting between the particle and the plate is said to be "opposite".

Hence, the force is an attractive force.

Similarly, there is a gradual increase exhibited by the velocity of the particle.

Therefore, the particles get to the detector, but the detector failed to get detect due to the velocity which is greater than 1000 m/s.
