A boat with a horizontal tow rope pulls a waterskier. She skis off to the side, the rope makes an angle of 15° with the forward

direction of motion. If the tension in the rope is 180 N, how much work does the rope two on the scare during the forward displacement of 300 m?

Answer:

<h3>13,976.23Joules</h3>

Explanation:

Workdone by the rope is expressed using the formula;

W = Fd sin(theta)

F is the tension in the rope = 180

d is the displacement = 300m

theta is the angle of inclination = 15°

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

W = 180(300)sin15

W = 54000sin 15

W = 13,976.23

Hence the workdone by the rope is 13,976.23Joules

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .

vlabodo [156]

Answer: $90\°$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}c}$ , being $h$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c$ the speed of light in vacuum.

$\theta)$ the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through $180\°$ :

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))$ (2)

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))$

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}$ (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (4)

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (5)

If we want $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}$ , $1-cos\theta$ must be equal to 1:

$1-cos\theta=1$ (6)

Finding $\theta$ :

$1-1=cos\theta$

$0=cos\theta$

$\theta=cos^{-1} (0)$

Finally:

$\theta=90\°$ This is the scattering angle that will produce $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}$

If you place a paper clip very close to a magnet, the paper clip

Alik [6]

The answer is “D. all of the above”!

Metal from the paper clip is attracted to the magnet, so it will naturally move toward and stick to the magnet. This will cause the paper clip to temporarily become a magnet for other metals. I hope this helped!

The gravitational force strength on the moon is 1.63N/Kg if the rock on the moon weighs 200N how much does the same rock weigh o

FromTheMoon [43]

m = Q(on moon) * G(on moon) = 200N * 1.63N/kg = 326kg

Q(Earth)= g * m = 10m/s2 * 326kg = 3260N
