Answer:

B. It has mass

Explanation:

The Newtons Universal gravitacion law is : F = G. $\frac{m1 m2}{d^{2} }$ , where F is the force exerted , m1 and m2 are the earth's mass and the object's mass, d is the distance and G the gravitacional constant. Comparing to the options we can say that the Earth exerts a gravitational force on objects on its surface because of its mass.

A turntable is designed to acquire an angular velocity of 32.4 rev/s in 0.5 s, starting from rest.

horrorfan [7]

Well, the acceleration is the difference of speeds divided by the time period. $\frac{32.4}{0.5}=64.8rev/s^2$ .
One rev/s is $2\pi rad/s^2$ , so our final result is $64.8*2\pi=407.15rad/s^2$ .

Answer:

0.000003782 m

0.000001891 m

0.000001197125 m

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength = 248 nm

D = Diameter of beam = 1 cm

f = Focal length = 0.625 cm

The angle is given by

$\theta=\dfrac{1.22\lambda}{D}$

The width is given by

$d=2\theta f\\\Rightarrow d=2\dfrac{1.22\lambda f}{D}\\\Rightarrow d=2\dfrac{1.22\times 248\times 10^{-9}\times 6.25\times 10^{-2}}{1\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow d=0.000003782\ m$
