Identical particles are placed at the 50-cm and 80-cm marks on a meter stick of negligible mass. This rigid body is then mounted

so as to rotate freely about a pivot at the 0-cm mark on the meter stick. If this body is released from rest in a horizontal position, what is the angular speed of the meter stick as it swings through its lowest position

Answer:

5.35 rad/s

Explanation:

From the question, we are toldthat an Identical particles are placed at the 50-cm and 80-cm marks on a meter stick of negligible mass. This rigid body is then mounted so as to rotate freely about a pivot at the 0-cm mark on the meter stick.

Solving this question, the potential energy of the particles must equal to the Kinectic energy i.e

P.E=K.E

Mgh= m½Iω²-------------eqn(*)

Where M= mass of the particles

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.81m/s^2

ω= angular speed =?

h= height of the particles in the stick on the metre stick= ( 50cm + 80cm)= (0.5m + 0.8m)= 130cm=1.3m

If we substitute the values into eqn(*) we have

m×9.81× (1.3m)= 1/2× m×[ (0.5m)² + [(0.8m)²]× ω²

m(12.74m²/s²)= 1/2× m× (0.25+0.64)× ω

m(12.74m²/s²)= 1/2× m× 0.89× ω²

We can cancel out "m"

12.74= 1/2×0.89 × ω²

12.74×2= 0.89ω²

25.48= 0.89ω²

ω²= 28.629

ω= √28.629

ω=5.35 rad/s

Hence, the angular speed of the meter stick as it swings through its lowest position is 5.35 rad/s

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”
dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

1)

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

2)

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1, n_2 are the index of refraction of the two mediums

\theta_1, \theta_2 are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)

Here we want the direction of propagation of the light ray not to change: this means that it must be

sin \theta_1 = sin \theta_2 (1)

However, here we have two mediums "a" and "b" with different index of refraction, so

n_1\neq n_2

Therefore the only angle that can satisfy eq.(1) is

\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 0

So, the light must hit the surface perpendicular to the interface between the two mediums.

Calculate the electric field at the center of a square
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge q_1.

Explanation:

Given:

  • side of a square, a=52.5\ cm
  • charge on one corner of the square, q_1=+45\times 10^{-6}\ C
  • charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square,q_2=q_3=q_4=-27\times 10^{-6}\ C

<u>Distance of the center from each corners</u>=\frac{1}{2} \times diagonals

diagonal=\sqrt{52.5^2+52.5^2}

diagonal=74.25\cm=0.7425\ m

∴Distance of center from corners, b=0.3712\ m

Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times \frac{q}{b^2}

<u>For charge q_1 we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:</u>

E_1=9\times 10^9\times \frac{45\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}

  • E_1=2938775.5\ N.C^{-1}

<u>Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:</u>

E_2=E_3=E_4=9\times 10^9\times \frac{27\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}

  • E_2=E_3=E_4=1763265.3\ N.C^{-1}

<u> Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:</u>

E_y=E_1-E_4

E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}

<u>Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:</u>

E_y=E_2-E_3

E_y=0\ N.C^{-1}

So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge q_1.
