At an instant when a particle of mass 80 g has a velocity of 25 m/s in the positive y direction, a 75-g particle has a velocity

of 20 m/s in the positive x direction. What is the speed of the center of mass of this two-particle system at this instant?
a. 16 m/s
b. 45 m/s
c. 23 m/s
d. 20 m/s
e. 36 m/s

Answer:

16 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

y momentum = 0.080 *25 = 2

x momentum = 0.075*20 = 1.5

total momentum = √(4 + 2.25)

Total momentum = √6.25

Total momentum = 2.5

total mass = mass of x and y momentum = 0.075 + 0.080 = 0.155

speed of mass center = total momentum / total mass = 2.5/0.155 = 16.

And thus, the speed of the center of mass of this two-particle system at this instant is 16 m/s

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 571nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength, $\lambda=571 nm=571\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

R=75 cm= $\frac{75}{100}=0.75 m$

1 m=100 cm

$d=0.640 mm=0.64\times 10^{-3} m$

$1 mm=10^{-3} m$

$a=0.434 mm=0.434\times 10^{-3} m$

$y=0.830 mm=0.830\times 10^{-3} m$

$I_0=5.00\times 10^{-4}W/m^2$

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{R}$

$\theta=\frac{0.830\times 10^{-3}}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}$

$\theta=1.1\times 10^{-3}rad$

$tan\theta\approx \theta$

Because $\theta$ is small.

$\phi=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}$

$\sin\theta\approx \theta$ ,

Therefore

$\phi=\frac{2\times\pi\times 0.64\times 10^{-3}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}}{571\times 10^{-9}}$

$\phi=7.74 rad$

$\beta=\frac{2\pi a\theta}{\lambda}$

$\beta=5.3 rad$

$I=I_0cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}{\frac{\beta}{2}})^2$

$I=5\times 10^{-4}cos^2(\frac{7.74}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{5.3}{2}}{\frac{5.3}{2}})^2$

$I=8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

An 80-cm uniform 10-kg bar is resting on two scales, one at either end. A smaller 4-kg mass (m) is placed at a distance of d = 2

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer

given,

length of bar = 80 cm

mass of the bar = 10 kg

smaller mass = 4 kg

distance = 20 cm

$s_1 + s_2 = 10 + 4$

$s_1 + s_2 = 14\ kg$

taking moment about B

$s_1 \times 0.8 - 10 \times 0.4 - 4 \times 0.6 = 0$

$s_1 \times 0.8 = 6.4$

$s_1 = 8\ N$

$s_2 = 14 - s_1$

$s_2 = 14 - 8$

$s_2 = 6 N$

difference between two scale = 8 - 6

= 2 N

What advantages does an electromagnet have over a permanent magnet?

KonstantinChe [14]

Electromagnets can be turned off, this makes it easier to release things from the magnetic field.

Hope this helps :)
