10 N pushes a 10 kg crate to the right. Determine the acceleration of the crate.

1 answer:

8 0

The rate of acceleration of the crate would be 1 m/s^2 because the equation for force is F=ma and when you plug in your numbers you get 10=10a so a=1

The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.708 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light inci

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Angle θ = 30.82°

Explanation:

From Malus’s law, since the intensity of a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared, the intensity I of the transmitted wave is related to the incident wave by; I = I_o cos²θ

where;

I_o is the intensity of the polarized wave before passing through the filter.

In this question,

I is 0.708 W/m²

While I_o is 0.960 W/m²

Thus, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

0.708 W/m² = 0.960 W/m² •cos²θ

Thus, cos²θ = 0.708 W/m²/0.960 W/m²

cos²θ = 0.7375

Cos θ = √0.7375

Cos θ = 0.8588

θ = Cos^(-1)0.8588

θ = 30.82°

Hans Langseth's beard measured 5.33 m in 1927. Consider two charges, q1 = 2.42 nC and an unspecified charge, q2, are separated 5

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-7.89 * 10^(-9) C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

q1 = 2.42 nC = 2.42 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between q1 and q2 = 5.33 m

q3 = 1.0 nC = 1 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between q1 and q3 = 1.9 m

Distance between q2 and q3 = 5.33 - 1.9 = 3.43 m

The net force acting on q3 is:

F = F(q1, q3) + F(q2, q3)

F = (k*q1*q3)/1.9² + (k*q2*q3)/3.43²

F = (9 * 10^(9) * 2.42 * 10^(-9) * 1 * 10^(-9))/3.61 + (9 * 10^(9) * q2 * 1 * 10^(-9))/11.7649

F = 6.033 * 10^(-9) + 0.765*q2

If the net force is zero:

0 = 6.033 * 10^(-9) + 0.765*q2

-0.765*q2 = 6.033 * 10^(-9)

=> q2 = -[6.033 * 10^(-9)]/0.765

q2 = -7.89 * 10^(-9) C

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.

grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution. By definition is defined as:

$\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

$\theta$ = Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

$r = l\theta$

Relacing $\theta$

$r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})$

$r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}$

Replacing with our values we have that,

$r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})$

$r = 3680.91m$

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

$d = 2r$

$d = 2 * (3690.91)$

$d = 7361.8285m$

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m

The train departed 100 meters in 10 seconds How far has the train gone in the last 2 seconds

zzz [600]

Answer:

20 meters.

Explanation:

Since it went 100 meters in 10 seconds, that means it is going 10 meters per second. In 2 seconds, it must have gone 20 meters, if the speed is constant.
