Answer:

C. 39 m/s

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the total force required to move the train along the inclined plane. So, it is clear that the work done will be equal to the component of the weight that is parallel to the inclined plane, because there is no frictional force present:

Force = F = mg Sin θ

where,

m = mass of train = 3.3 x 10⁶ kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

θ = Angle of Inclination = 0.64°

Therefore,

F = (3.3 x 10⁶ kg)(9.8 m/s²)Sin 0.64°

F = 3.612 x 10⁵ N

Now, the formula for power is:

P = FV

V = P/F

where,

V = Velocity of Train = ?

P = Power of Engine = 14 MW = 1.4 x 10⁷ W

Therefore,

V = 1.4 x 10⁷ W/3.612 x 10⁵ N

V = 38.75 m/s

which is approximately equal to:

C. 39 m/s

A circular loop of wire with 10 turns, radius 0.241 m and resistance 0.235 Ohms is connected to a 13.1 V power supply. The magne

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Given Information:

Resistance of circular loop = R = 0.235 Ω

Radius of circular loop = r = 0.241 m

Number of turns = n = 10

Voltage = V = 13.1 V

Required Information:

Magnetic field = B = ?

Answer:

Magnetic field = 0.00145 T

Explanation:

In a circular loop of wire with n number of turns and radius r and carrying a current I induces a magnetic field B

B = μ₀nI/2r

Where μ₀= 4πx10⁻⁷ is the permeability of free space and current in the loop is given by

I = V/R

I = 13.1/0.235

I = 55.74 A

B = 4πx10⁻⁷*10*55.74/2*0.241

B = 0.00145 T

Therefore, the magnetic field at the center of this circular loop is 0.00145 T

What is the angular speed of (a) the second hand, (b) the minute hand, and (c) the hour hand of a smoothly running analog watch?

Agata [3.3K]

A)We know the formula of the angular speed is ω = 2π / TWhere T is the time period.When second hand completes one revolution then the time taken is 60s.So T = 60sThen the angular speed of the second hand is ω= 2π / (60s) = 0.1047 rad/sb)When the minute hand completes one revolution the time taken is T = 1 hr = 3600sThen the angular speed of the minute hand is ω =(2π) / (3600s) = 0.001745 rad/sc)When the hour hand completes one revolution then the timeperiod is T = 12hrs = (12)(3600)sThen the angular speed of the hour hand is ω =(2π) / [(12)(3600)s] = 1.45444 x 10^-4 rad/s

The viewing screen in a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light. Fringe C is the central maximum. The fringe separation

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Part A:

a) If the wavelength of the light is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

Part B:

b) If the spacing between the slits is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will increase.

Part C:

a) If the distance to the screen is decreased the fringe spacing will decrease.

Part D:

The dot in the center of fringe E is $920\ x\ 10^{-9} m$ farther from the left slit than from the right slit.

Explanation:

In the double-slit experiment there is a clear contrast between the dark and bright fringes, that indicate destructive and constructive interference respectively, in the central peak and then is less so at either side.

The position of bright fringes in the screen where the pattern is formed can be calculated with

$\vartriangle y =\frac{m \lambda L}{d}$

$m=0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 3,.....$

m is the order number.
$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the monochromatic light.
L is the distance between the screen and the two slits.
d is the distance between the slits.

Part A: a) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the wavelength of the light $\lambda$ is decreased the overall effect will be that the fringes are going to be closer. That means that the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

Part B: b) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the spacing between the slits d is decreased the fringes are going to be wider apart. That means the fringe spacing Δy will increase.
Part C: a) In the above equation we can see that if the distance to the screen L is decreased the fringes are going to be closer. That means the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

Part D: We are told that the central maximum is the fringe C that corresponds with m=0. That means that fringe E corresponds with the order number m=2 if we consider it to be the second maximum at the rigth of the central one. To calculate how much farther from the left slit than from the right slit is a dot located at the center of the fringe E in the screen we use the condition for constructive interference. That says that the path length difference Δr between rays coming from the left and right slit must be $\vartriangle r=m \lambda$

We simply replace the values in that equation :

$\vartriangle r= m \lambda =2.\ 460\ nm$

$\vartriangle r= 920\ x\ 10^{-9} m$

The dot in the center of fringe E is $920\ x\ 10^{-9}m$ farther from the left slit than from the right slit.
