If one could transport a simple pendulum of constant length from the Earth's surface to the Moon's, where acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth (1/6) that on the Earth, by what factor would be the pendulum frequency be changed
Answer:
The frequency will change by a factor of 0.4
Explanation:
T = 2(pi)*sqrt(L/g)
Since g(moon) = (1/6)g(earth), the period would change by sqrt[1/(1/6)] = sqrt(6) ~ 2.5 times longer on the moon. Since the period & frequency are inverses, the frequency would be 1/2.5 or 0.4 times shorter on the moon.

A 70 kg man floats in freshwater with 3.2% of his volume above water when his lungs are empty, and 4.85% of his volume above water when his lungs are full.
Required:
a. Calculate the volume of air he inhales - called his lung capacity - in liters.
b. Does this lung volume seem reasonable?
Answer:
Explanation:
A) Vair = 1.3 L
B) Volume is not reasonable
Explanation:
A)
Assume
m to be total mass of the man
mp be the mass of the man that pulled out of the water
m1 be the mass above the water with the empty lung
m2 be the mass above the water with full lung
wp be the weight that the buoyant force opposes as a result of the air.
Va be the volume of air inside man's lungs
Fb be the buoyant force due to the air in the lung
given;
m = 78.5 kg
m1 = 3.2% × 78.5 = 2.5 kg
m2 = 4.85% × 78.5 = 3.8kg
But, mp = m2- m1
mp = 3.8 - 2.5
mp = 1.3kg
So using
Archimedes principle, the relation for formula for buoyant force as;
Fb = (m_displaced water)g = (ρ_water × V_air × g)
Where ρ_water is density of water = 1000 kg/m³
Thus;
Fb = wp = 1.3× 9.81
Fb = 12.7N
But
Fb = (ρ_water × V_air × g)
So
Vair = Fb/(ρ_water × × g)
Vair = 12.7/(1000 × 9.81)
V_air = 1.3 × 10^(-3) m³
convert to litres
1 m³ = 1000 L
Thus;
V_air = 1.3× 10^(-3) × 1000
V_air = 1.3 L
But since the average lung capacity of an adult human being is about 6-7litres of air.
Thus, the calculated lung volume is not reasonable

Two 1.0 nF capacitors are connected in series to a 1.5 V battery. Calculate the total energy stored by the capacitors.
Answer:
1.125×10⁻⁹ J
Explanation:
Applying,
E = 1/2CV²................... Equation 1
Where E = Energy stored in the capacitor, C = capacitance of the capacitor, V = Voltage of the battery.
Given; C = 1.0 nF, = 1.0×10⁻⁹ F, V = 1.5 V
Substitute into equation 1
E = 1/2(1.0×10⁻⁹×1.5²)
E = 1.125×10⁻⁹ J
Hence the energy stored by the capacitor is 1.125×10⁻⁹ J
A 750 gram grinding wheel 25.0 cm in diameter is in the shape of a uniform solid disk. (we can ignore the small hole at the center). when it is in use, it turns at a consant 220 rpm about an axle perpendicular to its face through its center. When the power switch is turned off, you observe that the wheel stops in 45.0 s with constant angular acceleration due to friction at the axle. What torque does friction exert while this wheel is slowing down?
Answer:
Torque = 0.012 N.m
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of wheel;m = 750 g = 0.75 kg
Radius of wheel;r = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Final angular velocity; ω_f = 0
Initial angular velocity; ω_i = 220 rpm
Time taken;t = 45 seconds
Converting 220 rpm to rad/s we have;
220 × 2π/60 = 22π/3 rad/s
Equation of rotational motion is;
ω_f = ω_i + αt
Where α is angular acceleration
Making α the subject, we have;
α = (ω_f - ω_i)/t
α = (0 - 22π/3)/45
α = -0.512 rad/s²
The formula for the Moment of inertia is given as;
I = ½mr²
I = (1/2) × 0.75 × 0.25²
I = 0.0234375 kg.m²
Formula for torque is;
Torque = Iα
For α, we will take the absolute value as the negative sign denotes decrease in acceleration.
Thus;
Torque = 0.0234375 × 0.512
Torque = 0.012 N.m
At what speed (in m/s) will a proton move in a circular path of the same radius as an electron that travels at 7.45 ✕ 106 m/s perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field at an altitude where the field strength is 1.10 ✕ 10−5 T
Answer:
The speed of the proton is 4059.39 m/s
Explanation:
The centripetal force on the particle is given by;
[tex]F = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
The magnetic force on the particle is given by;
[tex]F = qvB[/tex]
The centripetal force on the particle must equal the magnetic force on the particle, for the particle to remain in the circular path.
[tex]\frac{mv^2}{r} = qvB\\\\r = \frac{mv^2}{qvB} \\\\r = \frac{mv}{qB}[/tex]
where;
r is the radius of the circular path moved by both electron and proton;
⇒For electron;
[tex]r = \frac{(9.1*10^{-31})(7.45*10^6)}{(1.602*10^{-19})(1.1*10^{-5})}\\\\r = 3.847 \ m[/tex]
⇒For proton
The speed of the proton is given by;
[tex]r = \frac{mv}{qB}\\\\mv = qBr\\\\v = \frac{qBr}{m} \\\\v = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(1.1*10^{-5})(3.847)}{1.67*10^{-27}} \\\\v = 4059.39 \ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the speed of the proton is 4059.39 m/s
If the x-position of a particle is measured with an uncertainty of 1.00×10-10 m, then what is the uncertainty of the momentum in this same direction? (Useful constant: h-bar = 1.05×10-34 Js.)
Answer:
The uncertainty in momentum is 5.25x 10^25Jsm
Explanation:
We know that

So
1.05x 10^34=h/2pπ
h=1.05x 10^ 34(2π)=6.597x 10^-34Js
dp=(6.597x10^-34/4pπ)/(1x10^-10)
=5.25x10^-25 Jsm

refractive index of benzere is 2.419,
what is the speed of light in benzene?
Answer:
[tex]v=1.24\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The refractive index of benzene is 2.419
We need to find the speed of light in benzene. The ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium equals the refractive index. So,
[tex]n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\v=\dfrac{c}{n}\\\\v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.419}\\\\v=1.24\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]
So, the speed of light in bezene is [tex]1.24\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex].
light of wavelength 550 nm is incident on a diffraction grating that is 1 cm wide and has 1000 slits. What is the dispersion of the m = 2 line?
Answer:
The dispersion is [tex]D = 2.01220 *10^{5} \ rad/m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength of the light is [tex]\lambda = 550 \ = 550 *10^{-9} \ n[/tex]
The width of the grating is[tex]k = 1\ cm = 0.01 \ m[/tex]
The number of slit is N = 1000 slits
The order of the maxima is m = 2
Generally the spacing between the slit is mathematically represented as
[tex]d = \frac{k}{N}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]d = \frac{ 0.01}{1000}[/tex]
[tex]d = 1.0 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]
Generally the condition for constructive interference is
[tex]d\ sin(\theta ) = m * \lambda[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]1.0 *10^{-5} sin (\theta) = 2 * 550 *10^{-9}[/tex]
[tex]\theta = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 550 *10^{-9}}{ 1.0 *10^{-5}} ][/tex]
[tex]\theta = 6.315^o[/tex]
Generally the dispersion is mathematically represented as
[tex]D = \frac{ m }{d cos(\theta )}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]D = \frac{ 2 }{ 1.0 *10^{-5} cos(6.315 )}[/tex]
[tex]D = 2.01220 *10^{5} \ rad/m[/tex]
If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 5.5 × 10^-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radiation must have a wavelength of about the size of the atom itself.
Required:
a. What is its frequency?
b. What type of electromagnetic radiation might this be?
Answer:
a) 5.5×10^17 Hz
b) visible light
Explanation:
Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;
λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m
Since;
c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1
f= c/λ
f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10
f= 5.5×10^17 Hz
The electromagnetic wave is visible light
An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm^2, separated by a distance of 1.70 mm. A 25.0-V potential difference is applied to these plates. Calculate: a. the electric field between the plates b. the surface charge density c. the capacitance d. the charge on each plate.
Answer:
(a) 1.47 x 10⁴ V/m
(b) 1.28 x 10⁻⁷C/m²
(c) 3.9 x 10⁻¹²F
(d) 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹C
Explanation:
(a) For a parallel plate capacitor, the electric field E between the plates is given by;
E = V / d -----------(i)
Where;
V = potential difference applied to the plates
d = distance between these plates
From the question;
V = 25.0V
d = 1.70mm = 0.0017m
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
E = 25.0 / 0.0017
E = 1.47 x 10⁴ V/m
(c) The capacitance of the capacitor is given by
C = Aε₀ / d
Where
C = capacitance
A = Area of the plates = 7.60cm² = 0.00076m²
ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²F/m
d = 1.70mm = 0.0017m
C = 0.00076 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² / 0.0017
C = 3.9 x 10⁻¹²F
(d) The charge, Q, on each plate can be found as follows;
Q = C V
Q = 3.9 x 10⁻¹² x 25.0
Q = 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹C
Now since we have found other quantities, it is way easier to find the surface charge density.
(b) The surface charge density, σ, is the ratio of the charge Q on each plate to the area A of the plates. i.e
σ = Q / A
σ = 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹ / 0.00076
σ = 1.28 x 10⁻⁷C/m²

Water pressurized to 3.5 x 105 Pa is flowing at 5.0 m/s in a horizontal pipe which contracts to 1/2 its former radius. a. What are the pressure and velocity of the water after the contraction
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the Continuity equation
v X A = v' xA'
so if A is 1/2of A' then A velocity must be 2 times the A'
after-contraction v = 2 x 5.0m/s = 10m/s
Using the Bernoulli equation
p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂
, the "h" terms cancel
3.5 x 10^ 5Pa + ½ x 1000kg/m³x (5.0m/s)² = p₂ + ½ x 1000kg/m³ x (10m/s)²
p₂ = 342500pa
A ball is thrown upward from a height of 432 feet above the ground, with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. From physics it is known that the velocity at time t is v (t )equals 96 minus 32 t feet per second. a) Find s(t), the function giving the height of the ball at time t. b) How long will the ball take to reach the ground? c) How high will the ball go?
Answer;
A)S(t)=96t-16t² +432
B)it will take 9 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.
C)864feet
Explanation:
We were given an initial height of 432 feet.
And v(t)= 96-32t
A) we are to Find s(t), the function giving the height of the ball at time t
The position, or heigth, is the integrative of the velocity. So
S(t)= ∫(96-32)dt
S(t)=96t-16t² +K
S(t)=96t-16t² +432
In which the constant of integration K is the initial height, so K= 432
b) we need to know how long will the ball take to reach the ground
This is t when S(t)= 0
S(t)=96t-16t² +432
-16t² +96t +432=0
This is quadratic equation, if you solve using factorization method we have
t= -3 or t= 9
Therefore, , t is the instant of time and it must be a positive value.
So it will take 9 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.
C)V=s/t
Velocity= distance/ time
=96=s/9sec
S=96×9
=864feet
By applying the integrations,
(a) [tex]S = 96t-16t^2+432[/tex]
(b) Time will be "t = 9".
(c) Height will be "576"
Given:
Height,
423 feetInitial velocity,
96 feet/secAccording to the question,
(a)
Integrate v:
[tex]S = 96t-16t^2+C[/tex]Initial Condition,
→ [tex]S = 96t-16t^2+432[/tex]
(b)
Hits the ground when,
S = 0→ [tex]0=96t-16t^2+432[/tex]
→ [tex]t =9[/tex]
(c)
Maximum height when,
v = 0→ [tex]0 = 96-32 t[/tex]
→ [tex]t = 3[/tex]
Now,
→ [tex]S = 96\times 3-16\times 3^2+432[/tex]
[tex]= 576[/tex]
Thus the answer above is correct.

When a mercury thermometer is heated, the mercury expands and rises in the thin tube of glass. What does this indicate about the relative rates of expansion for mercury and glass
Answer:
This means that mercury has a higher or faster expansion rate than glass
Explanation:
This is because When a container expands, the reservoir in the glass expands at the same rate as the glass. Thus, if there is something in a glass and both expand at the same rate, they have no change - but if the contents expand faster, they will fill the container to a higher level, and if the contents expand slower, they will fill the container to a lower level (relative to the new size of the container).
In the lab, you shoot an electron towards the south. As it moves through a magnetic field, you observe the electron curving upward toward the roof of the lab. You deduce that the magnetic field must be pointing:_______.
a. to the west.
b. upward.
c. to the north.
d. to the east.
e. downward.
Answer:
a. to the west.
Explanation:
An electron in a magnetic field always experience a force that tends to change its direction of motion through the magnetic field. According to Lorentz left hand rule (which is the opposite of Lorentz right hand rule for a positive charge), the left hand is used to represent the motion of an electron in a magnetic field. Hold out the left hand with the fingers held out parallel to the palm, and the thumb held at right angle to the other fingers. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron though the field, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the particle.
In this case, if we point the thumb (which shows the direction we shot the electron) to the south (towards your body), with the palm (shows the direction of the force) facing up to the roof, then the fingers (the direction of the field) will point west.

An electric train operates on 800 V. What is its power consumption when the current flowing through the train's motor is 2,130 A?
Answer:
1704 kWExplanation:
To solve for the power consumed by the trains motor we have to employ the formula for power which is
Power= current * voltage
Given that
voltage V= 800 V
current I= 2130 A
Substituting in the formula for power we have
Power= 2130*800= 1704000 watt
Power = 1704 kW
This is the amount of energy consumed, transferred or converted per unit of time
Hence the power consumed by the trains motor is 1704 kW
UVC light used in sterilizers, has wavelengths between 100 to 280 nm. If a certain UVC wave has a wavelength of 142.9 nm, what is the energy of one of its photons in J
Answer:
The energy of one of its photons is 1.391 x 10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
Given;
wavelength of the UVC light, λ = 142.9 nm = 142.9 x 10⁻⁹ m
The energy of one photon of the UVC light is given by;
E = hf
where;
h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s
f is frequency of the light
f = c / λ
where;
c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ is wavelength
substitute in the value of f into the main equation;
E = hf
[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{142.9*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 1.391*10^{-18} \ J[/tex]
Therefore, the energy of one of its photons is 1.391 x 10⁻¹⁸ J
