Explanation:

Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.

A bowling ball is launched from the top of a building at an angle of 35° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 15 m/s. T

Mamont248 [21]

Let $y_0$ be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when $y=0$ after $t=2.9\,\mathrm s$ . Solve for $y_0$ :

$0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m$

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).

Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m

faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.

<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>

It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.

We have the expression for slit width w as,

$w=\frac{2*wavelength*d}{a}$

where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.

Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,

$d=\frac{w*a}{2*wavelength} =\frac{8*10^{-3}*0.17*10^{-3}}{560*10^{-9}*2} \\\\d=1.214m$

Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

The force needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies inversely as the radius of the curve and jointly as the weight of

motikmotik

Explanation:

It is given that, the force needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies inversely as the radius of the curve and jointly as the weight of the car and the square of the car's speed such that,

$F\propto \dfrac{mgv^2}{r}$

$F=\dfrac{kmgv^2}{r}$

mg is the weight of the car

r is the radius of the curve

v is the speed of the car

Case 1.

F = 640 pounds

Weight of the car, W = mg = 2600 pound

Radius of the curve, r = 650 ft

Speed of the car, v = 40 mph

$640=\dfrac{k(2600)(40)^2}{650}$

k = 0.1

Case 2.

Radius of the curve, r = 750 ft

Speed of the car, v = 30 mph

$F=\dfrac{0.1\times 2600\times (30)^2}{750}$

F = 312 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field B with a velocity v at right angles to the field. It moves in a circle with p

alukav5142 [94]

A) d. 10T

When a charged particle moves at right angle to a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude os given by

$F=qvB$

where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field.

This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the particle in a circular motion - so we can write

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

which can be rewritten as

$v=\frac{qB}{mr}$

The velocity can be rewritten as the ratio between the lenght of the circumference and the period of revolution (T):

$\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{qB}{mr}$

So, we get:

$T=\frac{2\pi m r^2}{qB}$

We see that this the period of revolution is directly proportional to the mass of the particle: therefore, if the second particle is 10 times as massive, then its period will be 10 times longer.

B) $a. f/10$

The frequency of revolution of a particle in uniform circular motion is

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Therefore, if the period of the more massive particle is 10 times that of the smaller particle:

T' = 10 T

Then its frequency of revolution will be:

$f'=\frac{1}{T'}=\frac{1}{(10T)}=\frac{f}{10}$
