An experiment based at New Mexico’s Apache Point observatory uses a laser beam to measure the distance to the Moon with millimet

er precision. The laser power is 120 GW, although it’s pulsed on for only 90 ps. The beam emerges from the laser with a diameter of 7.0 mm. It’s then beamed into a telescope aimed at the Moon. When the beam leaves the telescope, it has the telescope’s full 3.5-mm diameter. By the time it reaches the Moon, the beam has expanded to a diameter of 6.5 km.
a. Find the intensity of the beam as it leaves the laser. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
b. Find the intensity of the beam as it leaves the telescope. Express your answer with the appropriate units.

What is the instantaneous speed at 5 seconds? (remember s=d/t)
TEA [102]
5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.

Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.
_________

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph. For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron
slega [8]

Answer:

a)   v_average = 11 m / s, b)  t = 0.0627 s

, c)    F = 7.37 10⁵ N

, d)   F / W = 35.8

Explanation:

a) truck speed can be found with kinematics

         v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The fine speed zeroes them

           a = v₀² / 2x

           a = 22²/2 0.69

           a = 350.72 m / s²

The average speed is

           v_average = (v + v₀) / 2

           v_average = (22 + 0) / 2

           v_average = 11 m / s

b) The average time

          v = v₀ - a t

          t = v₀ / a

          t = 22 / 350.72

          t = 0.0627 s

c) The force can be found with Newton's second law

             F = m a

             F = 2100 350.72

             F = 7.37 10⁵ N

.d) the ratio of this force to weight

             F / W = 7.37 10⁵ / (2100 9.8)

             F / W = 35.8

.e) Several approaches will be made:

- the resistance of air and tires is neglected

- It is despised that the force is not constant in time

- Depreciation of materials deformation during the crash

When a 12 V battery is connected to a 6 uF capacitor, how much energy is stored
adoni [48]

The energy stored in a capacitor is

E = (1/2) · (capacitance) · (voltage)²

E = (1/2) · (6 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (12 V)²

E = (3 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (144 V²)

<em>E = 4.32 x 10⁻⁴ Joule</em>

(That's 0.000432 of a Joule)

A car moving at a speed of 36 km/h reaches the foot of a smooth
boyakko [2]

Answer:

d = 10.2 m

Explanation:

When the car travels up the inclined plane, its kinetic energy will be used to do the work in climbing up. So according to the law of conservation of energy, we can write that:

Kinetic\ Energy\ of\ the \ Car = Work\ Done\ while\ moving\ up\ the\ plane\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = Fd

where,

m = mass of car

v = speed of car at the start of plane = (36 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 10 m/s

F = force on the car in direction of inclination = W Sin θ

W = weight of car = mg

θ = Angle of inclinition = 30°

d = distance covered up the ramp = ?

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = mgdSin\theta\\\frac{1}{2}v^{2} = gdSin\theta\\\frac{1}{2}(10\ m/s)^{2} = d(9.81\ m/s^{2}) Sin\ 30^{0}

<u>d = 10.2 m</u>
