Each of 100 identical blocks sitting on a frictionless surface is connected to the next block by a massless string. The first bl

ock is pulled with a force of 100 N. What is the tension in the string connecting block 100 to block 99? What is the tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51?

Answer:

The tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51 is 50 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of block = 100

Force = 100 N

let m be the mass of each block.

We need to calculate the net force acting on the 100th block

Using second law of newton

F=ma

100=100m\times a

ma=1\ N

We need to calculate the tension in the string between blocks 99 and 100

Using formula of force

F_{100-99}=ma

F_{100-99}=1

We need to calculate the total number of masses attached to the string

Using formula for mass

m'=(100-50)m

m'=50m

We need to calculate the tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51

Using formula of tension

F_{50}=m'a

Put the value into the formula

F_{50}=50m\times a

F_{50}=50\times1

F_{50}=50\ N

Hence, The tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51 is 50 N.

Calculate the heat flux (in W/m^2) through a sheet of a metal 14 mm thick if the temperatures at the two faces are 350 and 140°C
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of conductive heat transfer in watts is:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

where k is the heat conductivity, s is the thickness, A is the area, and ΔT is the temperature difference.

a)

Given k = 52.4 W/m/K, s = 0.014 m, and ΔT = 350-140 = 210 K, we can find q/A:

q/A = (52.4 / 0.014) (210)

q/A = 786,000 W/m²

b)

Given that A = 0.42 m², we can find q:

q = (0.42 m²) (786,000 W/m²)

q = 330,120 W

A watt is a Joule per second.  Convert to Joules per hour:

q = 330,120 J/s * 3600 s/hr

q = 1.19×10⁹ J/hr

c)

If we change k to 1.8 W/m/K:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

q = (1.8 / 0.014) (0.42) (210)

q = 11,340 J/s

q = 4.08×10⁷ J/hr

d)

If k is 52.4 W/m/K and s is 0.024 m:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

q = (52.4 / 0.024) (0.42) (210)

q = 192,570 J/s

q = 6.93×10⁸ J/hr

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.15 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
Ket [755]
The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
E=hf
where h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} m^2 kg s^{-1} is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is f=7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
E=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg s^{-1})(7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=4.7 \cdot 10^{-19}J
