Answer:

Explanation:

frequency of tuning fork = 440 Hz

wave length λ = velocity of sound  / frequency

= 343 / 440 m

= .7795 m

= 77.95 cm

λ = 77.95 cm

Let length of rod having fundamental wavelength of 77.95 cm be L

L = λ  /2

L = 77.95 / 2

= 38.975 cm .

length of rod = 38.975 cm .

= 0. 39 m

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

v = \frac{Bqr}{m}

v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

(c) Let K be the kinetic energy

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

r=\frac{mv}{Bq}

r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm

A 100-kg running back runs at 5 m/s into a stationary linebacker. It takes 0.5 s for the running back to be completely stopped.
Elza [17]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

First, we need to find the deceleration of the running back, which is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 0 is his final velocity

u = 5 m/s is his initial velocity

t = 0.5 s is the time taken

Substituting, we have

a=\frac{0-5 m/s}{0.5 s}=-10 m/s^2

And now we can calculate the force exerted on the running back, by using Newton's second law:

F=ma=(100 kg)(-10 m/s^2)=-1000 N

so, the magnitude of the force is 1000 N.

There is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B, pervading all space, perpendicular to the plane of rod and rails. The rod is r
Charra [1.4K]

The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

  • The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
  • The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

        F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

  • The thumb points in the direction of speed.
  • Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.
  • The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

  • If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
  • If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

  • The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.
  • The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

Metals are good conductors of electric current for which of the following reasons?They possess high concentrations of protonsThe
KatRina [158]

The correct answer is: They possess high concentrations of free electrons

The main characteristic of good conductors such as metals is the presence of movable electrically charged particles, or electrons. So, when an electric current is applied to a metal, the electrons will move and allow electricity to pass through them. Materials opposite of metals, with low electron mobility are not good conductors, instead they are called insulators.
