Answer:
circumference of the satellite orbit = 4.13 × 10⁷ m
Explanation:
Given that:
the time period T = 88.5 min = 88.5 × 60 = 5310 sec
The mass of the earth [tex]M_e[/tex] = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg
if the radius of orbit is r,
Then,
[tex]\dfrac{V^2}{r} = \dfrac{GM_e}{r^2}[/tex]
[tex]{V^2} = \dfrac{GM_e r}{r^2}[/tex]
[tex]{V^2} = \dfrac{GM_e }{r}[/tex]
[tex]{V} =\sqrt{ \dfrac{GM_e }{r}}[/tex]
Similarly :
[tex]T = \sqrt{\dfrac{ 2 \pi r} {V} }[/tex]
where; [tex]{V} =\sqrt{ \dfrac{GM_e }{r}}[/tex]
Then:
[tex]T = {\dfrac{ 2 \pi r^{3/2}} {\sqrt{ {GM_e }} }[/tex]
[tex]5310= {\dfrac{ 2 \pi r^{3/2}} {\sqrt{ {6.674\times 10^{-11} \times 5.98 \times 10^{24} }} }[/tex]
[tex]5310= {\dfrac{ 2 \pi r^{3/2}} {\sqrt{ 3.991052 \times 10^{14} }}[/tex]
[tex]5310= {\dfrac{ 2 \pi r^{3/2}} {19977617.48}[/tex]
[tex]5310 \times 19977617.48= 2 \pi r^{3/2}}[/tex]
[tex]1.06081149 \times 10^{11}= 2 \pi r^{3/2}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1.06081149 \times 10^{11}}{2 \pi}= r^{3/2}}[/tex]
[tex]r^{3/2}} = \dfrac{1.06081149 \times 10^{11}}{2 \pi}[/tex]
[tex]r^{3/2}} = 1.68833392 \times 10^{10}[/tex]
[tex]r= (1.68833392 \times 10^{10})^{2/3}}[/tex]
[tex]r= 2565.38^2[/tex]
r = 6579225 m
The circumference of the satellites orbit can now be determined by using the formula:
circumference = 2π r
circumference = 2π × 6579225 m
circumference = 41338489.85 m
circumference of the satellite orbit = 4.13 × 10⁷ m
Reading glasses with a power of 1.50 diopters make reading a book comfortable for you when you wear them 1.8 cmcm from your eye. Part A If you hold the book 28.0 cmcm from your eye, what is your nearpoint distance
Answer:
The near point is [tex]n =44.8 \ cm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The power is [tex]P = 1.50[/tex]
The distance from the eye is [tex]k = 1.8 \ cm[/tex]
The distance of the book from the eye is [tex]z = -28 \ cm[/tex]
Generally the focal length of the glasses is
[tex]f = \frac{1}{P}[/tex]
=> [tex]f = \frac{1}{1.50 }[/tex]
=> [tex]f = 0.667 \ m[/tex]
=> [tex]f = 66.7 \ cm[/tex]
The object distance is evaluated as
[tex]u = z + k[/tex]
=> [tex]u = -28 + 1.8[/tex]
=> [tex]u = -26.2 \ cm[/tex]
The image distance is evaluated from lens formula as
[tex]\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{u}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{66.7} + \frac{1}{-26.2}[/tex]
=> [tex]v=- \frac{1}{0.0232}[/tex]
=> [tex]v=- 43 \ cm[/tex]
The near point is evaluated as
[tex]n = -v + k[/tex]
=> [tex]n =-(-43) + 1.8[/tex]
=> [tex]n =44.8 \ cm[/tex]

Parallel light rays with a wavelength of 563 nm fall on a single slit. On a screen 3.30 m away, the distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central maximum is 4.70 mm . Part A What is the width of the slit
Answer:
The width of the slit is 0.4 mm (0.00040 m).
Explanation:
From the Young's interference expression, we have;
(λ ÷ d) = (Δy ÷ D)
where λ is the wavelength of the light, D is the distance of the slit to the screen, d is the width of slit and Δy is the fringe separation.
Thus,
d = (Dλ) ÷ Δy
D = 3.30 m, Δy = 4.7 mm (0.0047 m) and λ = 563 nm (563 ×[tex]10^{-9}[/tex] m)
d = (3.30 × 563 ×[tex]10^{-9}[/tex] ) ÷ (0.0047)
= 1.8579 × [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] ÷ 0.0047
= 0.0003951 m
d = 0.00040 m
The width of the slit is 0.4 mm (0.00040 m).

An electron and a proton both moving at nonrelativistic speeds have the same de Broglie wavelength. Which of the following are also the same for the two particles?
(A) speed
(B) kinetic energy
(C) frequency
(D) momentum
Explanation:
The De-Broglie wavelength is given by :
[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{h}{p}[/tex]
h is Planck's constant
p is momentum
In this case, an electron and a proton both moving at nonrelativistic speeds have the same de Broglie wavelength. Mass of electron and proton is different. It means their velocity and energy are different.
Only momentum is the factor that remains same for both particles i.e. momentum.
A scientist is carrying out an experiment to determine the index of refraction for a partially reflective material. To do this, he aims a narrow beam of light at a sample of this material, which has a smooth surface. He then varies the angle of incidence. (The incident beam is traveling through air.)
The light that gets reflected by the sample is completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 46.5°.
(a) What index of refraction describes the material?
n =
(b) If some of the incident light (at θi = 46.5°) enters the material and travels below the surface, what is the angle of refraction (in degrees)?
Answer:
a) 1.05
b) 43.6°
Explanation:
a) The index refraction that describes the material can be found using Brewster's law:
[tex] \theta_{1} = arctan(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}) [/tex]
where:
n₁ is the refractive index of the initial medium through which the light propagates (air) = 1
n₂ is the index of the material=?
θ₁ = 46.5°
[tex] n_{2} = n_{1}tan(\theta_{1}) = tan(46.5) = 1.05 [/tex]
Hence, the material's index refraction is 1.05.
b) The angle of refraction can be found as follows:
[tex] n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theta_{2}) [/tex]
[tex]sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{sin(46.5)}{1.05} = 0.69[/tex]
[tex] \theta_{2} = arcsin(0.69) = 43.6^{\circ} [/tex]
Therefore, the angle of refraction is 43.6°.

Coherent light from a sodium-vapor lamp is passed through a filter that blocks everything except for light of a single wavelength. It then falls on two slits separated by 0.490 mm . In the resulting interference pattern on a screen 2.12 m away, adjacent bright fringes are separated by 2.86 mm . For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of Determining wavelength. Part A What is the wavelength of the light that falls on the slits
Answer:
λ = 6.61 x 10⁻⁷ m = 661 nm
Explanation:
From the Young's Double Slit experiment, the the spacing between adjacent bright or dark fringes is given by the following formula:
Δx = λL/d
where,
Δx = fringe spacing = 2.86 mm = 2.86 x ⁻³ m
L = Distance between slits and screen = 2.12 m
d = slit separation = 0.49 mm = 0.49 x 10⁻³ m
λ = wavelength of light = ?
Therefore,
2.86 x 10⁻³ m = λ(2.12 m)/(0.49 x 10⁻³ m)
(2.86 x 10⁻³ m)(0.49 x 10⁻³ m)/(2.12 m) = λ
λ = 6.61 x 10⁻⁷ m = 661 nm
15.Restore the battery setting to 10 V. Now change the number of loops from 4 to 3. Explain what happens to the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field. Now change to 2 loops, then to 1 loop. What do you observe the relationship to be between the magnitude of the magnetic field and the number of loops for the same current
Answer:
we see it is a linear relationship.
Explanation:
The magnetic flux is u solenoid is
B = μ₀ N/L I
where N is the number of loops, L the length and I the current
By applying this expression to our case we have that the current is the same in all cases and we can assume the constant length. Consequently we see that the magnitude of the magnetic field decreases with the number of loops
B = (μ₀ I / L) N
the amount between paracentesis constant, in the case of 4 loop the field is worth
B = cte 4
N B
4 4 cte
3 3 cte
2 2 cte
1 1 cte
as we see it is a linear relationship.

A mechanic wants to unscrew some bolts. She has two wrenches available: one is 35 cm long, and one is 50 cm long. Which wrench makes her job easier and why?
Answer:
50 cm long
When 35cm long wrench is compared to 50cm long wrench, we find that the 50cm long wrench produces more turning effect of force because it has longer distance between fulcrum and line of action of force. At conclusion, the more the turning effect of force the more it is easy to unscrew bolts.

front wheel drive car starts from rest and accelerates to the right. Knowing that the tires do not slip on the road, what is the direction of the friction force the road applies to the rear tire
Answer:
The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.
Explanation:
This question suggests that the car is accelerating forward. Thus, the easiest way for us to know what friction is doing is for us to know what happens when we turn friction off.
Now, if there is no friction and the car is stopped, if we push down on the accelerator, it will make the front wheels to spin in a clockwise manner. This spin occurs on the frictionless surface with the rear wheels doing nothing while the car doesn't move.
Now, if we apply friction to just the front wheels, the car will accelerate forward while the back wheels would be dragging along the road and not be spinning. Thus, friction opposes the motion and as such, it must act im a direction opposite to where the car is going. This must be static friction.
The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.
The temperature of the hot spots caused by the impact of transferred matter onto the surface of a pulsar can be 108 K. What is the peak wavelength in the blackbody spectrum of such a spot, and in what range of the electromagnetic spectrum does it occur

UV radiaGon having a wavelength of 120 nm falls on gold metal, to which electrons are bound by 4.82 eV. What is the maximum kineGc energy of the ejected photoelectrons
Answer:
K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Explanation:
First we calculate the energy of photon:
E = hc/λ
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ = wavelength = 120 nm = 1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m)
E = (16.565 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
E = 10.35 eV
Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric equation we know that:
Energy of Photon = Work Function + K.E of Electron
10.35 eV = 4.82 eV + K.E
K.E = 10.35 eV - 4.82 eV
K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will be "8.85 × 10⁻¹⁹ J".
Kinetic energyAccording to the question,
Speed of light, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s
Wavelength, λ = 120 nm or,
= 1.2 × 10⁻⁷ m
Plank's Constant, h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s
Now,
The energy of photon will be:
→ E = [tex]\frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
By substituting the values,
= [tex]\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 20^8}{1.2\times 10^{-7}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{16.565\times 10^{-19}}{\frac{1 \ eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}} }[/tex]
= 10.35 eV
By using Einstein's Photoelectric equation,
Energy of Photon = Work function + K.E
10.35 = 4.82 + K.E
K.E = 10.35 - 4.82
= 5.53 eV or,
= 8.85 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
Thus the response above is correct.

A 1300-turn coil of wire 2.40 cm in diameter is in a magnetic field that increases from 0 T to 0.120 T in 9.00 ms . The axis of the coil is parallel to the field. What is the emf of the coil?
Answer:
The induced emf in the coil is 7.843 V
Explanation:
Given;
number of turns of the coil, N = 1300 turn
diameter of the coil, d = 2.4 cm = 0.024 m
initial magnetic field, B₁ = 0 T
final magnetic field, B₂ = 0.12 T
change in time, dt = 9.0 ms = 9 x 10⁻³ s
Area of the coil is given by;
A = πr²
radius of the coil, r = 0.024 / 2
radius of the coil, r = 0.012 m
A = π(0.012)²
A = 4.525 x 10⁻⁴ m²
The induced emf in the coil is given by;
E = NA(dB/dt)
E = NA [(B₂ - B₁) /dt]
E = 1300 x 4.525 x 10⁻⁴ (0.12 - 0) / (9 x 10⁻³)
E = 7.843 V
Therefore, the induced emf in the coil is 7.843 V
Can a car moving with a negative velocity moves faster than a car moving with a positive velocity? explain.
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
This is because "negative velocity" just means it is in the negative in relation to the point of 0. Negative velocity doesn't equal a decrease in velocity. For example lets say you were parked next to a cone (this cone represents zero) if you accelerate forwards then that would be positive acceleration. If you were to accelerate backwards, this would be in the negative direction, aka negative velocity.
SUMMARY:
A negative velocity means that the object which has the negative velocity is moving in the opposite direction of an object moving at a positive velocity. This is a question of frame of reference. The possibility for the velocity is what makes it different to the speed. Speed is only positive.
