Answer:

The current through the tube is 73.39A.

Explanation:

The relationship between the resistivity \rho, the electric field E, and the current density J is given by

\rho = \dfrac{E}{J}

This equation can be solved for J to get:

J = \dfrac{E}{\rho}

Since the current is I = J\cdot A

I= J\cdot A  = \dfrac{E}{\rho} \cdot A

Now, for the tube of mercury \rho = 9.84*10^{-7}\: \Omega \cdot m, E = 23N/C, and the area is A = \pi r^2 = \pi (1.0*10^{-3}m)^2 = 3.14*10^{-6}m^2; therefore,

I= \dfrac{23N/C}{9.84*10^{-7}\Omega\cdot m } *3.14*10^{-6}m^2

\boxed{I = 73.39A.}

Hence, the current through the mercury tube is 73.39A.

You are observing the radiation from a distant active galaxy and you notice that the amplitude of the signal varies in strength
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Period of the signal.

Explanation:

So, this question is all about a concept in physics or astronomy which is called or known as Radiation Astronomy and Galactic Nuclei that are active. This concept talks most about Quasars; a powerful radiating object which derives its power from black holes.

When You take a look at Quasars, we get the to know that the more you think you can see, the more they move away from us.

Thus, when "You are observing the radiation from a distant active galaxy and you notice that the amplitude of the signal varies in strength regularly over a certain period. The maximum possible size for the source of this radiation can now be calculated from the "PERIOD OF THE SIGNAL.

NB: not the amplitude but the period.

A 1000.0 kg truck accelerates from 20.0 m/s to 25.0 m/s over a distance of 300.0 m. What is the average net force on the truck?
choli [55]

Answer:

The average net force on the truck is 375 Newtons.

Explanation:

Using Newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have :

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2×a×s

where, v = final velocity = 25 m/s

u = initial velocity = 20 m/s

a = acceleration

s = distance traveled = 300 m

Using these values in the above equation, we get acceleration = 0.375 m/s^{2}

Using Newton's second law, we have:

F=m×a

where m = mass = 1000 kg

a= acceleration = 0.375 m/s^{2}

Putting values we have F=375 N

Consider two diffraction gratings. One grating has 3000 lines per cm, and the other one has 6000 lines per cm. Both gratings are
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>The 6000 lines per cm grating, will produces the greater dispersion .</em>

Explanation:

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic (usually one  that has ridges or rulings on their surface rather than dark lines) structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions.

The directions of the light beam produced from a diffraction grating depend on the spacing of the grating, and also on the wavelength of the light.

For a plane diffraction grating, the angular positions of principle maxima is given by

(a + b) sin ∅n = nλ

where

a+b is the distance between two consecutive slits

n is the order of principal maxima

λ is the wavelength of the light

From the equation, we can see that without sin ∅ exceeding 1, increasing the number of lines per cm will lead to a decrease between the spacing between consecutive slits.

In this case, light of the same wavelength is used. If λ and n is held constant, then we'll see that reducing the distance between two consecutive slits (a + b) will lead to an increase in the angle of dispersion sin ∅. So long as the limit of sin ∅ not greater that one is maintained.
