1. Define friction, and explain why it occurs.​

Physics

Rzqust [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. Even surfaces that look smooth to the unaided eye make look rough or bumpy when viewed under a microscope.

Answer:

The simplest way to put it is that friction is a force in which there is a resistance between material elements when they slide against each other. There is no completely accurate answer as to why friction occurs, but scientists believe that it is because of tiny bumps on the surface of a material.

If it takes you 10 seconds to increase from 0 km/h to 50 km/h, what is your acceleration?
ZanzabumX [31]
Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time. Your Δv is +13.9, since you increased speed by 50 km/h which is 13.9 m/s, and your Δt is 10s. 13.9/10 = 1.39 m/s^2, the standard units for acceleration. Make sense?

The tangential acceleration of a cart moving at a constant speed in a horizontal circle is:
qaws [65]

Answer:

a=0                                  ∵ \alpha=0\ rad.s^{-1}

Explanation:

The tangential acceleration of a cart moving at a constant speed in a circle is:

The angular velocity is constant when the circular speed is constant.

We know that the (instantaneous) tangential velocity of such object is given by:

v=r.\omega

Now for angular acceleration we have a constant angular speed:

\alpha=0\ rad.s^{-1}

And angular acceleration is related to tangential acceleration as:

a=r.\alpha

\Rightarrow a=0

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of oil slick a thin layer of oil is formed on water . This thin layer creates a rainbow of colour . The phenomenon is due to interference of light waves , one reflected from the upper surface of oil and the other reflected from the lower surface of the oil.

For formation of bright colour

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of oil ,  t is thickness of oil layer  λ is wave length of light falling on the layer .

given μ = 1.2 ,   λ = 750 x 10⁻⁹   ,

2 x 1.2 t = ( 2n + 1 ) 750 x 10⁻⁹ / 2

For minimum thickness n = 0

2.4 t = 375 x 10⁻⁹

t = 156.25 n m

B ) If the refractive index of layer of medium below oil is less than that of oil , the condition of formation of colour changes

The new condition is

2 μ t = n λ

2  x 1.5 t  = 750 nm ,         n = 1 for minimum wavelength .

t = 250 nm

C ) Light mostly transmitted means dark spot is formed at that point .

For that to be observed from water side , the condition is

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

λ = 4μ t / ( 2n + 1 )

For maximum wavelength n = 0

λ = 4μ t

= 4 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 1200 nm .

A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a circular loop of diameter 13 cm formed from wire of diameter 2.6 mm
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Rate of change of magnetic field is 3.466\times 10^3T/sec        

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the circular loop is 13 cm = 0.13 m

So radius of the circular loop r=\frac{0.13}{2}=0.065m

Length of the circular loop L=2\pi r=2\times 3.14\times 0.065=0.4082m

Wire is made up of diameter of 2.6 mm

So radius r=\frac{2.6}{2}=1.3mm=0.0013m

Cross sectional area of wire A=\pi r^2=3.14\times0.0013^2=5.30\times 10^{-6}m^2

Resistivity of wire \rho =2.18\times 10^{-8}m

Resistance of wire R=\frac{\rho L}{A}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-8}\times 0.4082}{5.30\times 10^{-6}}=1.67\times 10^{-3}ohm

Current is given i = 11 A

So emf  e=11\times 1.67\times 10^{-3}=0.0183volt

Emf induced in the coil is e=-\frac{d\Phi }{dt}=-A\frac{dB}{dt}

0.0183=5.30\times 10^{-6}\times \frac{dB}{dt}

\frac{dB}{dt}=3.466\times 10^3=T/sec

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?
Oduvanchick [21]
First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1}  -  \frac{1}{n2} )
We insert the values

a = 2.18 \times  {10}^{ - 18}  \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } -  \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} }  )
= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
wavelength =  \frac{h \times c}{a}
Finally we insert the values
\frac{6.626 \times  {10}^{ - 34}  \times 3 \times  {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times  {10}^{ - 18} }  = 9.376 \times  {10}^{ - 8}
Which is the same as 93.8 nm
