An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the

slots at the outside edge of the wheel, travels to a distant mirror, and returns to the wheel just in time to pass through the next slot in the wheel. One such slotted wheel has a radius of 6.0 cm and 400 slots at its edge. Measurements taken when the mirror was L = 500 m from the wheel indicated a speed of light of 3.0 ✕ 105 km/s. (a) What was the (constant) angular speed of the wheel?

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

Relate a real life phenomenon with each branch of physics
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Branches of physics with real life examples

In measuring and understanding nuclear fission (a real life phenomenon), all branches of theoretical and experimental physics have to be employed. Physics branches needed in it are, radiation detection and measurement, nuclear physics, statistical physics, thermodynamics, and almost all others.
