The Kentucky Derby is a 1¼ mile race. Mandaloun ran it in 1.52 minutes. Hot Rod Charlie ran at a speed of .79 miles per minute.

Who won the race?

Answer:

Mandaloun won the race.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the time taken by the Hot Rod Charlie:

$s = vt\\t = \frac{s}{v}$

where,

t = time taken by Hot Rod Charlie = ?

s = distance covered = 1.25 miles

v = speed of Hot Rod Charlie = 0.79 miles/min

Therefore,

$t = \frac{1.25\ miles}{0.79\ miles/min} \\t = 1.58 min$

Since Hot Rod Charlie took more time (1.58 min) than the Mandaloun (1.52 min).

<u>Therefore Mandaloun won the race.</u>

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis

arlik [135]

The kinetic energy of the electron is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where $m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, $K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J$ , we can find the value of the speed v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} } = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s$

(a) At what height above Earth’s surface is the energy required to lift a satellite to that height equal to the kinetic energy r

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy at earth surface $U_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}$

Gravitational Potential Energy at height h is $U_2=\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}$

Energy required to lift the satellite $E_1=U_1-U_2$

$E_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}$

Now Energy required to orbit around the earth

$E_2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{orbit}^2=\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}$

$\Delta E=E_1-E_2$

$\Delta E=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}$

$E_1=E_2$ (given)

$\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}=0$

$\frac{1}{R_e}-\frac{3}{2(R_e+h)}=0$

$h=\frac{R_e}{2}$

$h=3.19\times 10^6\ m$

(b)For greater height $E_1$ is greater than $E_2$

thus energy to lift the satellite is more than orbiting around earth

Two polarizers A and B are aligned so that their transmission axes are vertical and horizontal, respectively. A third polarizer

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the angle between the first polariser and the second polariser axis is θ.

By using of law of Malus

(a)

Let the intensity of light coming out from the first polariser is I'

$I' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta$ .... (1)

Now the angle between the transmission axis of the second and the third polariser is 90 - θ. Let the intensity of light coming out from the third polariser is I''.

By the law of Malus

$I'' = I'Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )$

So,

$I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )$

$I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Sin^{2}\theta$

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}Sin^{2}2\theta$

(b)

Now differentiate with respect to θ.

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}\times 2 \times 2 \times Sin2\theta \times Cos 2\theta$

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}\times Sin 4\theta$

Can someone help me with this I don’t understand how to do this

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

You are doing this wrong. Make sure that if you have 2 rows and on the top it has pounds then on the second bottom row you also have pounds so that they cancel each other out.
