At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 56.0 NN at

the surface of the earth. In this problem, use 9.80 m/s2m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

Question:

At the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is g=1.81 m/s². A watermelon weighs 56.0 N at the surface of the earth.

(a) What is the watermelon’s mass on the earth’s surface?

(b) What would be its mass and weight on the surface of Io?

Answer:

The answer to the question is

(a) 5.71 kg

(b) 10.34 N

Explanation:

The Weight of an object is given by

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

on Earth the weight of the watermelon = 56 N

Therefore

The mass of the watermelon = \frac{Weight}{Acceleration.due . to . gravity} = 56/9.8 = 5.71 kg

(b) On the surface of lo, the weight of the watermelon will be

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

Where acceleration due to gravity on lo = 1.81 m/s²

Therefore the weight of the watermelon on lo = 1.81×5.7

= 10.34 N

Answer: 5.71kg and 10.33N

Explanation:

Recall,

Weight =mass × g

Where w = 56.0 N , g = 9.8 m/s2

56= m × 9.8

M = 56/9.8

M = 5.71 kg

At the surface of the moon, the mass still remains 5.71kg because it is a fundamental quantity it does not change irrespective of position.

Weight at the moon surface will change as a result of change in gravity. Hence, weight = mg

Where g=1.81m/s2, m= 5.71

W = 5.71×1.81

W = 10.33N

Consider an optical cavity of length 40 cm. Assume the refractive index is 1, and use the formula for Icavity vs wavelength to p
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Diode Lasers  

Consider a InGaAsP-InP laser diode which has an optical cavity of length 250  

microns. The peak radiation is at 1550 nm and the refractive index of InGaAsP is  

4. The optical gain bandwidth (as measured between half intensity points) will  

normally depend on the pumping current (diode current) but for this problem  

assume that it is 2 nm.  

(a) What is the mode integer m of the peak radiation?  

(b) What is the separation between the modes of the cavity? Please express your  

answer as Δλ.  

(c) How many modes are within the gain band of the laser?  

(d) What is the reflection coefficient and reflectance at the ends of the optical  

cavity (faces of the InGaAsP crystal)?  

(e) The beam divergence full angles are 20° in y-direction and 5° in x-direction  

respectively. Estimate the x and y dimensions of the laser cavity. (Assume the  

beam is a Gaussian beam with the waist located at the output. And the beam  

waist size is approximately the x-y dimensions of the cavity.)  

Solution:  

(a) The wavelength λ of a cavity mode and length L are related by  

n

λ = , where m is the mode number, and n is the refractive index.  

So the mode integer of the peak radiation is

Is 2/2 1 or 0? please help lol
Komok [63]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for such mathematical operations, we can wee that the slash represents a fraction or a division, say 8 ÷ 4 = 2, 6 ÷ 3 = 2, 20 ÷ 4 = 5, etc. In such a way, since the operation 2/2, represents 2 ÷ 2, it is clear that two is once in 2, therefore, the result is:

2 ÷ 2 = 1.

A solution is oversaturated with solute. which could be done to decrease the oversaturation?
Grace [21]
<span>A solution is oversaturated with solute. The thing that could be done to decrease the oversaturation is to add more solvent in order to decrease the concentration of the solute. You can also increase the temperature to increase solubility of the solute. Hope this answers the question.</span>

A large sphere has a mass of 175 kg and is suspended by a chain from the ceiling. The mass of the chain is 12.0 kg. What is the
Elina [12.6K]

Each point in the chain supports the weight of all the mass below it.

At the bottom end of the chain, the weight is  (175 x 9.8) = 1,715 N .
At the top of the chain, the weight is  (175 + 12) x (9.8) = 1,833 N .

The tension in the chain varies linearly from  1,715N  at the bottom
to  1,833N  at the top.
