cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

  • As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.  
  • Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.  
  • The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.
  • The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

A boy shooting a rubber band across the classroom --> 
Elastic potential energy transformed into kinetic energy 
<span>The initial energy is the energy stored in the muscles of the boy's arm, which is elastic potential energy. This is converted into motion of the rubber, therefore kinetic energy

On top of the slide, all the energy of the child is gravitational potential energy due to its height with respect to the ground (E=mgh). when it moves down the slide, this is converted into kinetic energy, because the child acquires a speed v (E=1/2 mv^2)

1-A car moves toward east 12km is represented as A and it turns towards south 16km is represented as B. What is the resultant ve
hjlf

1. A-20 km south east

The car's displacement consists of two components into two different directions. Using a system of coordinates in which x represents the east direction and y represents the south direction, the two displacements are:

d_x = 12 km east

d_y = 16 km south

Since the two components are orthogonal to each other, we can find the resultant displacement by using Pythagorean's theorem:

d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(12 km)^2+(16 km)^2}=\sqrt{400}=20 km

and the direction is between the two original directions, so south-east.

2. D. 10 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the total time the stone took to hit the ground. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 78.4 m, and since the motion is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, we have

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

From which we find the total time of the fall, t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(78.4 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=4 s

Now we can consider the horizontal motion of the stone: we know that the stone travels for d = 40 m in a time of t = 4 s, therefore the horizontal velocity of the stone is

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{40 m}{4 s}=10 m/s

3. B=32.32 m

As in the previous problem, we have to calculate the total time it takes for the stone to reach the river first. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 20 m, we have

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=2.0 s

And since the stone is traveling horizontally at v = 16 m/s, the horizontal distance covered is

d=vt=(16 m/s)(2 s)=32 m

So, the closest answer is B.

A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 38 km/h and returns down the hill at a constant speed of 66 km/h. Calculate the a
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Average speed will be 48.23 km/h

Explanation:

Let the distance up to hill is = d km

Speed when car goes to hill = 38 km/h

So time required t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{d}{38}hour

Speed when car return from hill = 66 km/h

So time required to return fro hill t=\frac{d}{66}h

Total time t_{total}=\frac{t}{38}+\frac{t}{66}

Total distance = d+d =2d

So average speed=\frac{total\ distance}{total\ time}=\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{38}+\frac{d}{66}}=48.23km/h

Determine the binding energy per nucleon of an mg-24 nucleus. the mg-24 nucleus has a mass of 24.30506. a proton has a mass of 1
My name is Ann [436]

The mass of Mg-24 is 24.30506 amu, it contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons.

Theoretical mass of Mg-24:

The theoretical mass of Mg-24 is:

Hydrogen atom mass = 12 × 1.00728 amu = 12.0874 amu

Neutron mass = 12 x 1.008665 amu = 12.104 amu

Theoretical mass = Hydrogen atom mass + Neutron mass = 24.1913 amu

Note that the mass defect is:

Mass defect = Actual mass - Theoretical mass : 24.30506 amu- 24.1913 amu= 0.11376 amu

Calculating the binding energy per nucleon:

\frac{B.E.}{nucleon}=\frac{(0.11376amu)(931Mev/amu}{24nucleons}  = 4.41294 Mev/nucleon

So approximately 4.41294 Mev/necleon
