Answer:

585×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Distance = rate × time

d = (2.998×10⁸ m/s) (3.25 min) (60 s/min)

d = 585×10⁸ m

A piano wire with mass 2.60g and length 84.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 25.0 N. A wave with frequency 120.0 Hz and amplit

likoan [24]

Answer:

Power will be 0.2023 watt

And when amplitude is halved then power will be 0.0505 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass of the Piano wire m = 2.60 gram = 0.0026 kg

Length of wire l = 84 cm = 0.84 m

So mass density $\mu =\frac{m}{l}=\frac{0.0026}{0.84}=0.0031kg/m$

Tension in the wire T = 25 N

Frequency f = 120 Hz

So angular frequency $\omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 120=753.6rad/sec$

And amplitude A = 1.6 mm = 0.0016 m

We have to find the generated power

Power is given by $P=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu T}\omega ^2A^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \sqrt{0.0031\times 25}\times 753.6^2\times 0.0016^2=0.2023watt$

From the relation we can see that power $P\ \propto\ A^2$

So if amplitude is halved then power will be $\frac{1}{4}$ times

So power will be equal to $\frac{0.2023}{2}=0.0505watt$

imagine riding a single-speed bicycle. why do you have to push harders on the pedals to start the bicycle moving than to keep it

Flura [38]

A large force is required to accelerate the mass of the bicycle and rider. Once the desired constant velocity is reached, a much smaller force is sufficient to overcome the ever-present frictional forces.

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, $E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, $V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V$

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

$E=eV$

e is charge of electron

$E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4$

$E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J$

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is $8\times 10^{-15}\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A 7.0 kg bowling ball has a moment of inertia of 2.8x10-2 kg m2, and a radius of 0.10 m. If it rolls down the lane at an angular

slega [8]

Hi there!

Angular momentum is equivalent to:

$\large\boxed{L = I\omega}$

L = angular momentum (kgm²/s)

I = moment of inertia (kgm²)

ω = angular velocity (rad/sec)

Plug in the given values for moment of inertia and angular speed:

$L = (0.028)(40) = \boxed{1.12 kgm^2/s}$
