There's an electric field in some region of space that doesn't change with position. An electron starts moving with a speed of 2

tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

speed of Electron $u=2\times 10^7\ m/s$

final speed of Electron $v=4\times 10^7\ m/s$

distance traveled $d=1.2\ cm$

using equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=Final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2\times a\times 1.2\times 10^{-2}$

$a=5\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

acceleration is given by $a=\frac{qE}{m}$

where q=charge of electron

m=mass of electron

E=electric Field strength

$5\times 10^{16}=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\cdot E}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$E=248.3\ kN/C$

How many lenses with different focal lengths can be obtained by combining two surfaces whose radii of curvature are 4.00 cm and

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The lenses with different focal length are four.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of curvature R₁= 4

Radius of curvature R₂ = 8

We know ,

Refractive index of glass = 1.6

When, R₁= 4, R₂ = 8

We need to calculate the focal length of the lens

Using formula of focal length

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{9}{40}$

$f=4.44\ cm$

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = 8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}+\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{3}{40}$

$f=-13.33\ cm$

When , R₁= 4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{3}{40}$

$f=13.33\ cm$

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}-\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{9}{40}$

$f=-4.44\ cm$

Hence, The lenses with different focal length are four.

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F

Alja [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}$

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

$\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}$

$f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}$

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

$\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}$

(b) Calculate the speed s

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}$

How does the change in the temperature of the universe provide evidence for universe expansion that supports the Big Bang Theory

xeze [42]

Question:

1) The universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos accumulates.

2) The universe is warming which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses.

3) The universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses.

4) The universe is warming which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos accumulates.

Answer:

The correct option is;

3) The Universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses

Explanation:

With the temperature measurement carried out using the CSIRO radio telescope, Astronomers have been able to determine a temperature difference in the universe from 5.08 Kelvin 7.2 billion light years away to 2.73 Kelvin in the Universe today, which is in support of the Big Bang theory that as the Universe expanded from a state of extreme temperature that cools down as the Universe expands or the cosmos disperses.
