Answer:

Therefore, light travelling at 3.0x10^8 meters per second takes 500 seconds (8 minutes, 20 seconds) to reach the Earth, which is 1.5x10^11 meters away from the sun

Biologists think that some spiders "tune" strands of their web to give enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those a
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter d=20 \mu m

density \rho =1300 kg/m^3

frequency \nu =150 Hz

Length of silk strand L=14 cm

Velocity in the string is as follows

\nu =\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

The expression for Fundamental Frequency

f=\frac{\nu }{2l}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{m}{l}}}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{Tl}{\rho V}}

Squaring

f^2=\frac{1}{4l^2}\times \frac{Tl}{\rho V}

T=4\rho \cdot A\cdot l^2\cdot f^2

T=4\times 1300\times \frac{\pi }{4}(20\times 10^{-6})^2\times (0.14)^2\times 150^2

T=7.2\times 10^{-4} N

How much heat (in kJ) is needed to convert 866 g of ice at −10°C to steam at 126°C? (The specific heats of ice and steam are 2.0
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

2671.3 kJ

Explanation:

m = 866 g at - 10 degree C converts into steam at 126 degree C.

The following steps are there

(1) ice at - 10 degree C converts into ice at 0 degree C

H1 = m x specific heat of ice x ΔT

H1 = 866 x 2.03 x 10 = 17579.8 J

(ii) ice at 0 degree C converts into water at 0 degree C

H2 = m x Latent heat of fusion = 866 x 334 = 289244 J

(iii) water at 0 degree C converts into water at 100 degree C

H3 =  m x specific heat of water x ΔT

ΔH3 = 866 x 4.186 x 100 = 362507.6 J

(iv) water at 100 degree C converts into steam at 100 degree C

H4 = m x Lateant heat of vaporisation

H4 = 866 x 2260 = 1957160 J

(v) seam at 100 degree C converts into steam at 126 degree C

H5 = m x specific heat of steam x ΔT

H5 = 866 x 1.99 x 26 = 44806.84 J

The total heat required is

H = H1 + H2 + H3 + H4 + H5

H = 2671298.24 J = 2671.3 kJ

A bungee jumper has a mass of 60kg and uses a 25m long bungee cord (unstretched length) with an elastic coefficient of 800N/m. a
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a ) 2.68 m / s

b )  1.47 m

Explanation:

The jumper will go down with acceleration as long as net force on it becomes zero . Net force of (mg - kx ) will act on it  where kx is the restoring force acting in upward direction.

At the time of equilibrium

mg - kx = 0

x = mg / k

= (60 x 9.8 ) / 800

= 0.735 m

At this moment , let its velocity be equal to V

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy of jumper + elastic energy of cord = loss of potential energy of the jumper

1/2 m V² + 1/2 k x² = mg x

.5 x 60 x V² + .5 x 800 x .735 x .735 = 60 x 9.8 x .735

30 V² + 216.09 = 432.18

V = 2.68 m / s

b ) At lowest point , kinetic energy is zero and loss of potential energy will be equal to stored elastic energy.

1/2 k x² = mgx

x = 2 m g / k

= (2 x 60 x 9.8) / 800

= 1.47 m

A beam of light from a monochromatic laser shines into a piece of glass. The glass has thickness L and index of refraction n=1.5
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

15/f s

Explanation:

The refractive index n = 1.5 of the glass is n = λ₁/λ₂ where λ₁ = wavelength of monochromatic light in vacuum = L/10 and λ₂ = wavelength of monochromatic laser in glass.

So, λ₂ = λ₁/n.

We know the speed of light in glass, v = fλ₂ and λ₂ = v/f.

The light covers a distance d = L in time, t = d/v (since v = d/t)

So, the time it takes the pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other is t = d/v = L/fλ₂ = L/fλ₁/n = nL/fλ₁ = nL/fL/10 = 10 × 1.5/f = 15/f s

So, the time it takes the pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other is t = 15/f s

A player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory
____ [38]

At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball's acceleration is zero but its velocity is not zero.

<h3>What's the velocity of the ball at the highest point of the trajectory?</h3>
  • At the highest point, the ball doesn't go more high. So its vertical velocity is zero.
  • However, the ball moves horizontal, so its horizontal component of velocity is non - zero i.e. u×cosθ.
  • u= initial velocity, θ= angle of projection

<h3>What's the acceleration of the ball at the highest point of projectile?</h3>
  • During the whole projectile motion, the earth exerts the gravitational force with a acceleration of gravity along vertical direction.
  • But as there's no acceleration along vertical direction, so the acceleration along vertical direction is zero.

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration is zero and velocity is non-zero at the highest point projectile motion.

Disclaimer: The question was given incomplete on the portal. Here is the complete question.

Question: Player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory

A- neither the ball's velocity nor its acceleration are zero.

B- the ball's acceleration points upward.

C- the ball's acceleration is zero but its velocity is not zero.

D- the ball's velocity points downward.
