Answer:

0.8%

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of oscillations; n = 20

Time taken; t = 25 s

Formula for period of oscillation;

T = t/n = 25/20 = 1.25 s

We are told that the least count is 0.2 s. Thus, error is; ΔT = 0.2 s

percentage error in the measurement of time is given by;

(0.2/(20 × 1.25)) × 100% = 0.8%

You are on a sled at the top of a hemispherical, snowy hill of radius 13 m. You begin to slide down the hill. How fast are you m
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be loss of potential energy due to loss of height and gain of kinetic energy .

loss of height = R - R cos 14 ,    R is radius of hemisphere .

R ( 1 - cos 12 )

= 13 ( 1 - .978 )

h = .286 m

loss of potential energy

= mgh

= m x 9.8 x .286

= 2.8 m

gain of kinetic energy

1/2 m v ² = mgh

v² = 2 g h

v²  = 2 x 9.8 x 2.8

v = 7.40 m /s

Answer:

15 Kg m/s

Explanation:

momentum p = mv

p is momentum

m is mass (kg)

v is velocity (m/s)

p = (3) (5m/s)

p= 15 Kg m/s

What charges must the particles have to create the electric field shown
Leviafan [203]

<u>Correct Option:</u>

X shows positive while Y shows negative charges, create the electric field as shown.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The idea of an electric field provides a way to define how starlight travels to enter our eyes across huge distances of empty space.The electric field is a quantity of vectors that is present at any point in space. The electric field at a region shows the force that, if put at that position, will operate upon a positive charge device.

The direction of the electric field points directly at a positive point charge, and straight at a negative point charge. The field direction is implemented to the force direction exert on a positive test charge. It is externally from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.

(a) Triply charged uranium-235 and uranium-238 ions are being separated in a mass spectrometer. (The much rarer uranium-235 is u
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 cm

(b) Yes

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of Uranium-235 ion, m = 3.95\times 10^{- 25}\ kg

Mass of Uranium- 238, m' = 3.90\times 10^{- 25}\ kg

Velocity, v = 3.00\times 10^{5}\ m/s

Magnetic field, B = 0.250 T

q = 3e

Now,

To calculate the path separation while traversing a semi-circle:

\Delta x = 2(R_{U_{35}} - 2R_{U_{38}})

The radius of the ion in a magnetic field is given by:

R = \frac{mv}{qB}

\Delta x = 2(R_{U_{35}} - 2R_{U_{38}})

\Delta x = 2(\frac{mv}{qB} - \frac{m'v}{qB})

\Delta x = 2(\frac{m - m'}{qB}v)

Now,

By putting suitable values in the above eqn:

\Delta x = 2(\frac{3.95\times 10^{- 25} - 3.90\times 10^{- 25}}{3\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19}\times 0.250}\times 3.00\times 10^{5}) = 2.5\ cm

\Delta x = 1.25\ cm

(b) Since the order of the distance is in cm, thus clearly this distance is sufficiently large enough in practical for the separation of the two uranium isotopes.
