here's the solution,

we know that,

=》

$wave \: speed = wavelength \times frequency$

so,

=》

$18 = 3 \times f$

=》

$f = \dfrac{18}{3}$

=》

$f = 6$

frequency = 6 hertz

A particle with charge 7.76×10^(−8)C is moving in a region where there is a uniform 0.700 T magnetic field in the +x-direction.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The z-component of the force is $\= F_z = 0.00141 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the particle is $q = 7.76 *0^{-8} \ C$

The magnitude of the magnetic field is $B = 0.700\r i \ T$

The velocity of the particle toward the x-direction is $v_x = -1.68*10^{4}\r i \ m/s$

The velocity of the particle toward the y-direction is

$v_y = -2.61*10^{4}\ \r j \ m/s$

The velocity of the particle toward the z-direction is

$v_y = -5.85*10^{4}\ \r k \ m/s$

Generally the force on this particle is mathematically represented as

$\= F = q (\= v X \= B )$

So we have

$\= F = q ( v_x \r i + v_y \r j + v_z \r k ) \ \ X \ ( \= B i)$

$\= F = q (v_y B(-\r k) + v_z B\r j)$

substituting values

$\= F = (7.7 *10^{-8})([ (-2.61*10^{4}) (0.700)](-\r z) + [(5.58*10^{4}) (0.700)]\r y)$

$\= F= 0.00303\ \r j +0.00141\ \r k$

So the z-component of the force is $\= F_z = 0.00141 \ N$

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 500. km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

a) v= 1732.05m/s

b) d=250000m

c) v= 1414.214m/s

Explanation:

Notation

M= mass of the asteroid

m= mass of the particle moving upward

R= radius

v= escape speed

G= Universal constant

h= distance above the the surface

Part a

For this part we can use the principle of conservation of energy. for the begin the initial potential energy for the asteroid would be $U_i =-\frac{GMm}{R}$ .

The initial kinetic energy would be $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ . The assumption here is that the particle escapes only if is infinetely far from the asteroid. And other assumption required is that the final potential and kinetic energy are both zero. Applying these we have:

$-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0$ (1)

Dividing both sides by m and replacing $\frac{GM}{R}$ by $a_g R$

And the equation (1) becomes:

$-a_g R+\frac{1}{2} v^2=0$ (2)

If we solve for v we got this:

$v=\sqrt{2 a_g R}=\sqrt{2x3\frac{m}{s^2}x500000m}=1732.05m/s$

Part b

When we consider a particule at this surface at the starting point we have that:

$U_i=-\frac{GMm}{R}$

$K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Considering that the particle is at a distance h above the surface and then stops we have that:

$U_f=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}$

$K_f=0$

And the balance of energy would be:

$-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =-\frac{GMm}{R+h}$

Dividing again both sides by m and replacing $\frac{GM}{R}$ by $a_g R^2$ we got:

$-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2 =-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}$

If we solve for h we can follow the following steps:

$R+h=-\frac{a_g R^2}{-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2}$

And subtracting R on both sides and multiplying by 2 in the fraction part and reordering terms:

$h=\frac{2a_g R^2}{2a_g R-v^2}-R$

Replacing:

$h=\frac{2x3\frac{m}{s^2}(500000m)^2}{2(3\frac{m}{s^2})(500000m)-(1000m/s)^2}- 500000m=250000m$

Part c

For this part we assume that the particle is a distance h above the surface at the begin and start with 0 velocity so then:

$U_i=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}$

$K_i=0$

And after the particle reach the asteroid we have this:

$U_f=-\frac{GMm}{R}$

$K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

So the balance of energy would be:

$-\frac{GMm}{R+h}=-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Replacing again $a_g R^2$ instead of GM and dividing both sides by m we have:

$-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}=-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2$

And solving for v:

$a_g R-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}=\frac{1}{2}v^2$

Multiplying both sides by two and taking square root:

$v=\sqrt{2a_g R-\frac{2a_g R^2}{R+h}}$

Replacing

$v=\sqrt{2(3\frac{m}{s^2})(500000m)-\frac{2(3\frac{m}{s^2}(500000m)^2}{500000+1000000m}}=1414.214m/s$

How To do this question

777dan777 [17]

Since it is given that their particles have a large difference in size, we can conclude that the particles of small size get embedded into the space between the particles of large size. Thus it doesn't increased it volume as it should have.

The oscilloscope is set to measure 2 volts per division on the vertical scale. The oscilloscope display a sinusoidal voltage tha

andrew-mc [135]

Answer: 7.2V

Explanation:

Peak values or peak to peak voltage are calculated from RMS values, which implies VP = VRMS × √2, (assuming the source is a pure sine wave).

Since it's a sinusoidal voltage and measuring from an oscilloscope, the peak to peak voltage is gotten thus:

No of division X Volts/divisions

So, 3.6 x 2V = 7.2V
