<h3><u>Answer:- </u></h3>

$\longrightarrow \textsf{D. A bicycle sitting on the ground}$

<h3><u>Solution</u>:-</h3>

<u>Let us check all options -</u>

A) An apple falling from a tree is under the influence of gravity. Thus some force is acting on the apple and it can not said to be in state of equilibrium.

B) A car moving at a constant velocity may said to be in state of equilibrium but the since the car is in motion ,equilibrium is dynamic in nature .Thus , it is not in static equilibrium.

C) A motorcycle speeding up has some acceleration due to some forces. Thus it can also not be said in state of static equilibrium.

D) Since the force acting on bicycle sitting down in zero as well as it is in state of rest , thus bicycle sitting on the ground may said to be in static equilibrium.

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .

vlabodo [156]

Answer: $90\°$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}c}$ , being $h$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c$ the speed of light in vacuum.

$\theta)$ the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through $180\°$ :

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))$ (2)

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))$

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}$ (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (4)

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (5)

If we want $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}$ , $1-cos\theta$ must be equal to 1:

$1-cos\theta=1$ (6)

Finding $\theta$ :

$1-1=cos\theta$

$0=cos\theta$

$\theta=cos^{-1} (0)$

Finally:

$\theta=90\°$ This is the scattering angle that will produce $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}$

Jupiter's semimajor axis is 7.78×1011 m. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. (a) What is the period of Jupiter's orbit in secon

dedylja [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, $a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m$

Mass of the sun, $M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

$T^2\propto a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3$

$T=3.74\times 10^8\ s$

(b) We know that,

$1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s$

or

$1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year$

$3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}$

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.

At what depth of lake water is the pressure equal to 201kpa?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

20m

Explanation:

Pressure = pgh

p = density of water 1000

kg/m^3

g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth of water

Pressure = 201 kPa = 201 x 10^3 Pa

201 x 10^3 = 1000 x 9.81 x h

201 x 10^3 = 9810h

h = 20.49 m

Approximately 20 m
