Answer:

Atmosphere mainly absorbs infra red radiation UV radiations and radio waves.

Explanation:

Infrared radiations and ultra violet and radio waves are mainly absorbed by the atmosphere. Atmosphere mainly passes visible range of radiations to the earth surface. Since atmosphere consists many gases such as:- carbon dioxide, water vapor, ozone and many more. These gases also absorbs radiations from the sun and mainly acts transparent to the visible range.

A circular coil of radius 5.0 cm and resistance 0.20 Ω is placed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the c

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The induced current in the coil at the time 2 s is 0.00263 A

Explanation:

The equation for induced emf is equal to:

$\epsilon =-\frac{d}{dt} (BAcos\theta )$

Where

B = magnetic field

A = area

θ = angle

$\epsilon =-Acos0\frac{d}{dt} B\\\epsilon =-(\pi r^{2} )\frac{d}{dt} (0.5e^{-0.2t} )\\\epsilon =0.1 (\pi r^{2} )e^{-0.2t}$

For t = 2 s

$\epsilon =0.1*\pi *0.05^{2} *e^{-0.2*2} =5.26x10^{-4} V$

The induced current is:

$I=\frac{\epsilo }{R} =\frac{5.26x10^{-4} }{0.2} =0.00263A$

A slender rod is 90.0 cm long and has mass 0.120 kg. A small 0.0200 kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.070

likoan [24]

Given Information:

length of slender rod = L = 90 cm = 0.90 m

mass of slender rod = m = 0.120 kg

mass of sphere welded to one end = m₁ = 0.0200 kg

mass of sphere welded to another end = m₂ = 0.0700 kg (typing error in the question it must be 0.0500 kg as given at the end of the question)

Required Information:

Linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere = v = ?

Answer:

Linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere = 1.55 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the sphere can by calculated using

ΔKE = ½Iω²

Where I is the moment of inertia of the whole setup ω is the speed and ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy

The moment of inertia of a rigid rod about center is given by

I = (1/12)mL²

The moment of inertia due to m₁ and m₂ is

I = (m₁+m₂)(L/2)²

L/2 means that the spheres are welded at both ends of slender rod whose length is L.

The overall moment of inertia becomes

I = (1/12)mL² + (m₁+m₂)(L/2)²

I = (1/12)0.120*(0.90)² + (0.0200+0.0500)(0.90/2)²

I = 0.0081 + 0.01417

I = 0.02227 kg.m²

The change in the potential energy is given by

ΔPE = m₁gh₁ + m₂gh₂

Where h₁ and h₂ are half of the length of slender rod

L/2 = 0.90/2 = 0.45 m

ΔPE = 0.0200*9.8*0.45 + 0.0500*9.8*-0.45

The negative sign is due to the fact that that m₂ is heavy and it would fall and the other sphere m₁ is lighter and it would will rise.

ΔPE = -0.1323 J

This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy therefore,

ΔKE = ½Iω²

0.1323 = ½(0.02227)ω²

ω² = (2*0.1323)/0.02227

ω = √(2*0.1323)/0.02227

ω = 3.45 rad/s

The linear speed is

v = (L/2)ω

v = (0.90/2)*3.45

v = 1.55 m/s

Therefore, the linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere as its passes through its lowest point is 1.55 m/s.

A student used a tuning fork of frequency 320 Hz and observed that the speed of sound was 339 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of t

Helen [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength as a function of speed and frequency. In mathematical terms it can be expressed as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

Where,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

According to our values the frequency (f) is 320Hz and the speed (v) is 339m / s.

Replacing in the given equation we have to,

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}\\\lambda = \frac{339}{320}\\\lambda = 1.059m\approx 1.06m$

Therefore the wavelength of this sound wave is 1.06m
