During an experiment of momentum, trolley, X, of mass (2.34 ± 0.01) kg is moving away from another trolley, Y, of mass (2.561 ±

Alla [95]

Answer:

P = 1 (14,045 ± 0.03 ) k gm/s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked about the uncertainty of the momentum of the two carriages

Δ (Pₓ / Py) =?

Let's start by finding the momentum of each vehicle

car X

Pₓ = m vₓ

Pₓ = 2.34 2.5

Pₓ = 5.85 kg m

car Y

Py = 2,561 3.2

Py = 8,195 kgm

How do we calculate the absolute uncertainty at the two moments?

ΔPₓ = m Δv + v Δm

ΔPₓ = 2.34 0.01 + 2.561 0.01

ΔPₓ = 0.05 kg m

Δ $P_{y}$ = m Δv + v Δm

ΔP_{y} = 2,561 0.01+ 3.2 0.001

ΔP_{y} = 0.03 kg m

now we have the uncertainty of each moment

P = Pₓ / $P_{y}$

ΔP = ΔPₓ/P_{y} + Pₓ ΔP_{y} / P_{y}²

ΔP = 8,195 0.05 + 5.85 0.03 / 8,195²

ΔP = 0.006 + 0.0026

ΔP = 0.009 kg m

The result is

P = 14,045 ± 0.039 = (14,045 ± 0.03 ) k gm/s

Suppose we have a laser emitting a diffraction-limited beam (=632 nm) with a 2-mm diameter. How big a light spot from this lase

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

λ = wave length = 632 x 10⁻⁹

slit width a = 2 x 10⁻³ m

angular separation of central maxima

= 2 x λ /a

= 2 x 632 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ rad

width in m of light spot.

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ x 376000 km

= 237.632 km

A train at a constant 60.0 km/h moves east for 40.0 min, then in a direction 50.0 degrees east of due north for 20.0 min, and th

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = 7.57 km/h$

Part b)

$\theta = 67.5 degree$ North of East

Explanation:

Speed of train towards East = 60 km/h

displacement towards East is given as

$d_1 = 40 km$

now it turns towards 50 degree East of North

so its distance is given as

$d_2 = 20 km(sin50 \hat i + cos50\hat j)$

$d_2 = 15.3 \hat i + 12.8 \hat j$

then finally it moves towards west for 50 min

$d_3 = -50 \hat i$

Now the total displacement of the train is given as

$d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3$

$d = (40 + 15.3 - 50)\hat i + 12.8 \hat j$

$d = 5.3\hat i + 12.8 \hat j$

now total time duration of the motion is given as

$T = 40 min + 20 min + 50 min$

$T = 1.83 h$

now average velocity is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{5.3\hat i + 12.8\hat j}{1.83}$

$v_{avg} = 2.89\hat i + 6.99\hat j$

Part a)

magnitude of the average velocity is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{2.89^2 + 6.99^2}$

$v = 7.57 km/h$

Part b)

Direction of the velocity is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{6.99}{2.89}$

$\theta = 67.5 degree$ North of East

A toy car moves 8 min 4 s at the constant velocity. What is the car's velocity?

Schach [20]

Explanation:

Formula:

$velocity = (d \div t)$

d = distance given

t = the amount of time given

Substitute the given values into the formula for velocity:

$v = 8 \div 4$

velocity is shortened for v.

8 (distance) divided by 4 (time) equals the velocity.

Solve:

$2 = 8 \div 4$

The velocity of the toy car equals: B. 2 m/s.
