An enormous thunderstorm covers Dallas-Ft. Worth. Your best friend Clark is a storm chaser and heads to the center of the storm

to take some readings while you stay dry at home. While Clark is at the center of the storm, he sees and hears lightning strike a tree that is 150 m from where he is standing. You are 127 km from the tree. How long does it take for the sound to reach Clark

Answer:

t = 0.437 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound is a constant that is worth v = 343 m / s

           v = d / t

            t = d / v

the time it takes for the sound to reach Clark at d = 150 m is

           t = 150/343

           t = 0.437 s

This same sound takes much longer to reach you

          t₂ = 127 10³/343

          t₂ = 370 s

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 530 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.7 ns . When a sla
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

\lambda'=78.086\ nm

Explanation:

Given:

  • wavelength of light in the air, \lambda=530\times 10^{-9}\ m
  • time taken to travel from the source to the photocell via air, t=16.7\ s
  • time taken to reach the photocell via air and glass slab, t'=21.3\times 10^{-9}\ s
  • thickness of the glass slab, x=0.87\ m

<u>Now we have the relation for time:</u>

\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}

hence,

t=\frac{d}{c}

c= speed of light in air

16.7\times 10^{-9}=\frac{d}{3\times 10^8}

d=16.7\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^8

d=5.01\ m

For the case when glass slab is inserted between the path of light:

\frac{(d-x)}{c} +\frac{x}{v} =t' (since light travel with the speed c only in the air)

here:

v = speed of light in the glass

\frac{(5.01-0.87)}{3\times 10^8} +\frac{0.87}{v} =21.3\times 10^{-9}

v=4.42\times 10^7\ m.s^{-1}

Using Snell's law:

\frac{\lambda}{\lambda'} =\frac{c}{v}

\frac{530}{\lambda'} =\frac{3\times 10^8}{4.42\times 10^7}

\lambda'=78.086\ nm

Mac and Keena are experimenting with pulses on a rope. Mac vibrates one end up and down while Keena holds the other end. This creates a pulse which they observe moving from end to end. How does the position of a point on the rope before the start of the pulse compare to its position after the pulse passes? Explain your reasoning.

A spacecraft at rest has moment of inertia of 100 kg-m^2 about an axis of interest. If a 1 newton thruster with a 1 meter moment
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

18 radians

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Torque = Force × Moment arm

= 1N × 1M

= 1N-M

Torque = I\alpha

\alpha = \frac{torque}{I}\\\\= \frac{1}{100}\\\\= 0.01 rad/s^2

Now

\theta = w_ot + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\\\\w_o = 0\\\\\theta = 0 \times 60 + \frac{1}{2} \times 0.01 \times 60^2\\\\= 18\ radians

Here t = 1 minutes = 60 seconds
