Answer:

Momentum change of the rock = 3835 kgm/s

Chane in earth's velocity = 6.4 x 10⁻²² m/s

Explanation:

m = 50.0 kg, M = 6.0 x 10²⁴ kg

d = 300.0 m

final velocity of rock = v, v² = 2gd = 2 * 9.81 * 300, so v = 76.7 m/s

Momentum change of the rock = mv = 50.0 * 76.7 = 3835 kgm/s

Inital momentum of the rock+earth system = 0

final momentum = 0 (momentum conservation)

momentum of rock and momentum of earth are same magnitude and opposite directions.

mv - MV = 0

Chane in earth's velocity = mv/M = 3835/(6.0 x 10²⁴) = 6.4 x 10⁻²² m/s

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

A 40-cmcm-long tube has a 40-cmcm-long insert that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the tube. A
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

1070 Hz

Explanation:

First, I should point out there might be a typo in the question or the question has inconsistent values. If the tube is 40 cm long, standing waves cannot be produced at 42.5 cm and 58.5 cm lengths. I assume the length is more than the value in the question then. Under this assumption, we proceed as below:

The insert in the tube creates a closed pipe with one end open and the other closed. For a closed pipe, the difference between successive resonances is a half wavelength \frac{\lambda}{2}.

Hence, we have

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=58.5-42.5=16 \text{ cm}

\lambda=32\text{ cm}=0.32 \text{ m}.

The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.

v=f\lambda

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}

f=\dfrac{343}{0.32}=1070 \text{ Hz}
