11. Differentiate between refraction of light and dispersion of light.​

Physics
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago

Answer:

Refraction refers to any bending of waves due to a change in speed. In the case of light being refracted by a prism, dispersion means that the higher the frequency light bends more. In short, Refraction is the bending of light and Dispersion is the frequency dependece of this behaviour.

What is the electric field due to a point charge of 20uC at a distance of 1 meter away from it?
Anettt [7]

The electric field due to a point charge of 20uC at a distance of 1 meter away from it is 180000 \frac{N}{C}.

First, you have to know that the space surrounding a load suffers some kind of disturbance, since a load located in that space will suffer a force. The disturbance that this charge creates around it is called an electric field.

In other words, an electric field exists in a certain region of space if, when introducing a charge called witness charge or test charge, it undergoes the action of an electric force.

The electric field E created by the point charge q at any point P, located at a distance r, is defined as:

E=K\frac{q}{r^{2} }

where K is the constant of Coulomb's law.

In this case, you know:

  • K= 9×10⁹\frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }
  • q= 20 uC=20×10⁻⁶ C
  • r= 1 m

Replacing in the definition of electric field:

E=9x10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }\frac{20x10^{-6} C}{(1 m)^{2} }

Solving:

<u><em>E=180000 </em></u>\frac{N}{C}<u><em /></u>

Finally, the electric field due to a point charge of 20uC at a distance of 1 meter away from it is 180000 \frac{N}{C}.

Why does nuclear energy have high efficiency
NeX [460]

Answer : The main benefits of Nuclear Energy are because it is more efficient than burning most fossil fuels than the amount of energy that is released from the uranium per gram is much more than fuels such as oil and coal. This is approximately eight thousand times more efficient.

Hope this helps you out! ☺

Two planets P1 and P2 orbit around a star S in circular orbits with speeds v1 = 40.2 km/s, and v2 = 56.0 km/s respectively. If t
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 3.66(10)^{33}kg

Explanation:

We are told both planets describe a circular orbit around the star S. So, let's approach this problem begining with the angular velocity \omega of the planet P1 with a period T=750years=2.36(10)^{10}s:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{V_{1}}{R} (1)

Where:

V_{1}=40.2km/s=40200m/s is the velocity of planet P1

R is the radius of the orbit of planet P1

Finding R:

R=\frac{V_{1}}{2\pi}T (2)

R=\frac{40200m/s}{2\pi}2.36(10)^{10}s (3)

R=1.5132(10)^{14}m (4)

On the other hand, we know the gravitational force F between the star S with mass M and the planet P1 with mass m is:

F=G\frac{Mm}{R^{2}} (5)

Where G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}

In addition, the centripetal force F_{c} exerted on the planet is:

F_{c}=\frac{m{V_{1}}^{2}}{R^{2}} (6)

Assuming this system is in equilibrium:

F=F_{c} (7)

Substituting (5) and (6) in (7):

G\frac{Mm}{R^{2}}=\frac{m{V_{1}}^{2}}{R^{2}} (8)

Finding M:

M=\frac{V^{2}R}{G} (9)

M=\frac{(40200m/s)^{2}(1.5132(10)^{14}m)}{6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}} (10)

Finally:

M=3.66(10)^{33}kg (11) This is the mass of the star S

You drop a rock off the top of a building. It takes 3.4 s to hit the ground. What is the velocity at impact (final velocity)? I
SCORPION-xisa [38]
-- The acceleration of gravity (on Earth) is 9.8 m/s².

-- That means that during every second an object falls,
    it adds 9.8 m/s of speed.

Now !    If it adds 9.8 m/s of speed every second, then
              how fast is it falling at the end of  3.4 seconds ?

This is as close as I can bring you to the answer
without dropping it at your feet, or handing it to you
on a golden tray.
