Answer: in air 33.33 ps and in the glass 50 ps: so the difference 16.67 ps

Explanation: In order to calculate the time for a pulse travellin in air  and in a glass we have to consider the expresion of the speed given by:

v= d/t  v the speed in a medium is given by c/n where c and n are the speed of light and refractive index respectively.

so the time is:

t=d/v=d*n/c

in air

t=0.01 m*1/3*10^8 m/s= 33.33 ps

while for the glass

t=0.01 m*1.5* 3* 10^8 m/s= 50 ps

Finally the difference is (50-33.33)ps = 16.67 ps

Determine the potential difference between the ends of the wire of resistance 5 Ω if 720 C passes through it per minute.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 5 ohms

Charge, q = 720 C

Time, t = 1 min = 60 s

We know that the charge flowing per unit charge is called current in the circuit. It is given by :

I = 12 A

Let V is the potential difference between the ends of a wire. It can be calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = IR

V = 60 Volts

So, the potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

An apparatus similar to the one used in lab uses an oscillating motor at one end to vibrate a long rope with frequency f = 40 Hz
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The displacement in t = 0,  

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Explanation:

Given f = 40 Hz , A = 0.25m , μ = 0.02 kg / m, T = 20.48 N

v = √ T / μ

v = √20.48 N / 0.02 kg /m = 32 m/s

λ = v / f

λ = 32 m/s / 40 Hz = 0.8

K = 2 π / λ

K = 2π / 0.8 = 7.854

φ = X * 360 / λ

φ = 0.5 * 360 / 0.8 = 225 °

Using the model of y' displacement

y (t) = A* sin ( w * t - φ )

When t = 0

y (0) = 0.25 m *sin ( w*(0) - 225 )

y (0) = 0.25 * -0.707

y (0) = - 0.18 m

A 0.15 g honeybee acquires a charge of 22 pC while flying. The electric field near the surface of the earth is typically 100 N/C
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1.50\ *10^{-6} }

Explanation:

Given

e=100 N/C

M=0.15 g

q=\ 22\  pC\\=\ 22\ *10^{-2}

The  ratio of the electric force on the bee to the bee's weight can be determined by the following formula

\frac{fe}{M*9.81}

\frac{22*10^{-12\ *\ 100} }{0.15*\ 10^{-3} *\ 9.81}

=\ 1.50\ *10^{-6}

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>
