Why does the temperature decreases at higher altitudes

A strontium vapor laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an a

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

$d=1.29*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD $D=1.4$

Second bright fringe $y_2= 0.803 m$

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

$y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}$

Where

$d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}$

$d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}$

$d=1.29*10^{-6}m$

A certain 100W light bulb has an efficiency of 95%. How much thermal energy will this light bulb add to the inside of a room in

Usimov [2.4K]

Since the bulb consumes 100 watts of power and its efficiency is 95%,
it generates 95 watts of light energy and 5 watts of heat energy whenever
it's turned on.

5 watts means 5 joules of energy per second.

(2.5 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 9,000 seconds

(9,000 seconds) x (5 joules/second) = 45,000 joules of heat in 2.5 hours

A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

A proton and electron are moving in the positive x direction, this shows that their velocity will be in the positive x direction

V = v•i

Magnetic field Is the positive z direction

B = B•k

A. For proton.

Proton has a positive charge of q

Direction of force on proton

Force is given as

F = q(v×B)

F = q( v•i × B•k)

F = qvB (i×k)

From vectors i×k = -j

F = -qvB •j

Then, for the positive charge, the force will act in the negative direction of the y-axis

B. For electron

Electron has a negative of -q

Direction of force on proton

Force is given as

F = q(v×B)

F = -q( v•i × B•k)

F = -qvB (i×k)

From vectors i×k = -j

F = --qvB •j

F = qvB •j

Then, for the negative charge, the force will act in the positive direction of the y-axis

Calculate the time needed for a 0.600 kg hammer to reach the surface of the Earth

USPshnik [31]

The time needed for the hammer to reach the surface of the Earth is 3.54 s.

<h3>Time of motion of the hammer</h3>

The time of motion is calculated as follows;

t = √(2h/g)

where;

h is height of fall
g is acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2 x 10 / 1.6)

t = 3.54 s

Thus, the time needed for the hammer to reach the surface of the Earth is 3.54 s.

You drop a steel ball bearing, with a radius of 2.40 mm, into a beaker of honey. Note that honey has a viscosity of 6.00 Pa/s an

Stells [14]

Answer:

The “terminal speed” of the ball bearing is 5.609 m/s

Explanation:

Radius of the steel ball R = 2.40 mm

Viscosity of honey η = 6.0 Pa/s

$\text { Viscosity has Density } \sigma=1360 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$

$\text { Steel has a density } \rho=7800 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$

$\left.\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { (g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is } 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { on Earth }\right)$

While calculating the terminal speed in liquids where density is high the stokes law is used for viscous force and buoyant force is taken into consideration for effective weight of the object. So the expression for terminal speed (Vt)

$V_{t}=\frac{2 \mathrm{R}^{2}(\rho-\sigma) \mathrm{g}}{9 \eta}$

Substitute the given values to find "terminal speed"

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{2 \times 0.0024^{2}(7800-1360) 9.8}{9 \times 6}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{0.0048 \times 6440 \times 9.8}{54}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{302.9376}{54}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=5.609 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

The “terminal speed” of the ball bearing is 5.609 m/s
