Answer:

The intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

Explanation:

The intensity in terms of electric field is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\epsilon_o E^2

E is electric field

It means, U\propto E^2

In this problem, lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of laser 2.

Let E is electric field in the beam of laser 1 and E' is the electric field in the beam of laser 2. So,

\dfrac{U}{U'}=(\dfrac{E}{E'})^2

We have,

E'=2E

So,

\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{(2E)^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{4E^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\U'=4\times U

So, the intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

Answer:

How much force is required to cause an object with a mass of 850 kg to accelerate at a rate of 2 meters per second squared (m/s^2)?

Explanation:

<em>1700N </em>

<em> Mass multiplied by acceleration gives you the amount of force needed for it.</em>

2. A 50 kg diver is standing on the edge of a 15 m high cliff. What is his potential energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

Imagine Two Artificial Satellites Orbiting Earth At The Same Distance. One Satellite Has A Greater Mass Than The Other One? Whic
Bad White [126]

After reading this whole question, I feel like I've already
earned 5 points !

-- Two satellites at the same distance, different masses:

The forces of gravity between two objects are directly
proportional to the product of the objects' masses.  In
other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object on its surface are proportional to the mass of
the object.  In other words, people with more mass weigh more
on the Earth, and the Earth weighs more on them. 

If the satellites are both at the same distance from Earth,
then the Earth pulls on the one with more mass with greater
force, and also the one with more mass pulls on the Earth
with greater force.

-- Two satellites with the same mass, at different distances:

The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them. 
In other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object are inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. 

If the satellites both have the same mass, then the Earth
pulls on the nearer one with greater force, and also the
nearer one pulls on the Earth with greater force.

-- Resistor in a circuit when the voltage changes:

The resistance depends on how the resistor was manufactured. 
Its resistance is marked on it, and doesn't change.  It remains
the same whether the voltage changes, the current changes,
the time of day changes, the cost of oil changes, etc.

If you increase the voltage in the circuit where that resistor is
installed, the current through the resistor increases.  If the current
remains constant, then you can be sure that somebody snuck over
to your circuit when you weren't looking, and they either installed
another resistor in series with the original one to make the total
resistance bigger, or else they snipped the original one out of the
circuit and quickly connected one with more resistance in its place.

The wave function of a particle is exp(i(kx-omegat)), where x is distance, t is time, and k and co are positive real numbers. Th
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Momentum, p=\hbar k

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle is given by :

y=exp[i(kx-\omega t)]...............(1)

Where

x is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

k is the propagation constant

\omega is the angular frequency

The relation between the momentum and wavelength is given by :

p=\dfrac{h}{\lambda}............(2)

From equation (1),

k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{k}

Use above equation in equation (2) as :

p=\dfrac{h k}{2\pi }

Since, \dfrac{h}{2\pi}=\hbar

p=\hbar k

So, the x-component of the momentum of the particle is \hbar k. Hence, this is the required solution.
