Answer:

Pseudoscience

Explanation:

Pseudoscience is defined as set of ideas that present themselves as a science, but they do not fulfill the criteria to be called science. In the same way, in the middle of 20th century some people called earth is flat. They challenged the spherical shape of earth. But their hypothesis does not fulfill the criteria of science. Therefore, the statements of flat earth society are pseudoscience.

Early black-and-white television sets used an electron beam to draw a picture on the screen. The electrons in the beam were acce

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

speed of electrons = 3.25 × $10^{7}$ m/s

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × $10^{17}$ g.

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × $10^{-4}$ m

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 3 kV

magnetic field = 0.66 T

solution

law of conservation of energy

PE = KE

qV = 0.5 × m × v²

v = $\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 3}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

v = 3.25 × $10^{7}$ m/s

and

magnetic force on particle movie in magnetic field

F = Bqv

ma = Bqv

a = $\frac{Bqv}{m}$

a = $\frac{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

a = 3.82 × $10^{18}$ m/s²

and acceleration in term g

a = $\frac{3.82\times 10^{18}}{9.81}$

a = 3.9 × $10^{17}$ g

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × $10^{17}$ g.

and

electron moving in circular orbit has centripetal force

F = $\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Bqv = $\frac{mv^2}{r}$

r = $\frac{mv}{Bq}$

r = $\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

r = 2.76 × $10^{-4}$ m

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × $10^{-4}$ m

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f

olga2289 [7]

The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

1 / (5 per second) = 0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period. But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

= (5 per second) x (1cm) = 5 cm per second

dedylja [7]

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION

The cube of wood having an edge dimension of 19.7cm and a density of 647kg/m3 floats on water

(a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level answer in cm

(b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface answer in kg

Answer:

a)6.29cm

b)2.78 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Let us calculate the volume first, we were given dimension as 19.7cm=0.197m

Volume is (0.197 meters)³ = 0.00764m³

Then we can calculate the mass as;

Given mass is 647 kg/m³ x 0.00774m³ = 4.947kg

The weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

weight = 4.947 x 9.8 N/kg = 48.44N

By Floating we can say the the buoyancy force has to equal the weight (48.44 N) which has

which is equal to the weight of volume of the displaced water. Or the mass, the calculation is the same.

We know that density of fresh water at 20ºC is 998 kg/m³

Then we can calculate the volume of displaced water as

4.947 kg / 998 kg/m³ = 0.00496 m³

We know that the displaced water has a shape of a rectangular solid with 0.197 meters on the two horizontal dimensions, and h as the height to the surface then

V = 0.197²h = 0.00496

0.00496= 0.197²h

h = 0.1278 meters or 12.78 cm

Then the the distance exposed, would be 19.7–12.78 = 6.29 cm

b) ifthe cube is fully submerged, the volume of the displaced water is 0.00774m³

mass of displaced water is 0.00774m³ x 998 kg/m³ = 7.724 kg

Added mass is the mass of the displaced water – mass of block

= 7.724–4.947 = 2.78 kg
