Answer:
Explanation:
a) To get a rainbow from a prism arrangement, we will need
A triangular prismA black cardboard boxA source of white light (light from the window will suffice)A pocket knifeFirst, you cut a slit in one end of the cardboard with the pen knife.
Next you open up a space on top of the cardboard through which you can observe the experiment and its result.
Next, you place the triangular prism with its slant face facing the the cut slit.
Finally, position the slit to face the light from the open window, and adjust the prism till the projected bands of colored light (rainbow) is very much obvious on the other end of the box, opposite the slit.
b) For a light to yield rainbow, it most be composed of different component colors of light. The colors of light is due to the difference in wavelength, and dispersion is due to the different in the wavelengths of the component light. So to get rainbow from a light source, the light must not be monochromatic. This means that only light composed of component light of different colors can produce rainbow. Light from the sun for example is composed of 7 distinct colors of light, and white light can be created with just three colors; blue, green, and red light.

A double-convex thin lens is made of glass with an index of refraction of 1.52. The radii of curvature of the faces of the lens are 60 cm and 72 cm. What is the focal length of the lens
Answer:
63 cm
Explanation:
Mathematically;
The focal length of a double convex lens is given as;
1/f = (n-1)[1/R1 + 1/R2]
where n is the refractive index of the medium given as 1.52
R1 and R2 represents radius of curvature which are given as 60cm and 72cm respectively.
Plugging these values into the equation, we have:
1/f = (1.52-1)[1/60 + 1/72)
1/f = 0.0158
f = 1/0.0158
f = 63.29cm which is approximately 63cm

If 50 mL of each of the liquids in the answer choices were poured into a 250 mL beaker, which layer would be directly above a small rubber ball with a density of 0.960 g/mL? A. sea water – density of 1.024 g/mL B. mineral oil – density of 0.910 g/mL C. distilled water – density of 1.0 g/mL D. petroleum oil – density of 0.820 g/mL
Answer:
B. mineral oil – density of 0.910 g/mL.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the density is known as the degree of compactness a body has (mass in the occupied volume), the higher the density, the higher the weight of the body, therefore, if submerged into a liquid it could float if less dense than the liquid or sink if more dense than the liquid.
In such a way, since the rubber is more dense than mineral (0.960 g/mL > 0.910 g/mL) oil but less dense than distilled water (0.960 g/mL < 1.0 g/mL) we can say that B. mineral oil – density of 0.910 g/mL is directly above it when submerged.

How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 121 metric tons to a speed of 0.509 c?
Answer
1.07E22 Joules
Explanation;
We know that mass expands by a factor
=>>1/√[1-(v/c)²]
But v= 0.509c
So
1/√(1 - 0.509²)
=>>> 1/√(1 - 0.2591)
= >> 1/√(0.7409) = 1.16
But given that 121 tons is rest mass so 121- 1.16= 119.84 tons is kinetic energy
And we know that rest mass-energy equivalence is 9 x 10^19 joules per ton.
So Multiplying by 119.84
Kinetic energy will be 1.07x 10^22 joules
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
The four wheels of a car are connected to the car's body by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down over bumps and dips in the road. When a 68 kg (about 150 lb) person sits on the left front fender of a small car, this corner of the car dips by about 1.2 cm (about 1/2 in).
If we treat the spring assembly as a single spring, what is the approximate spring constant?
k= ____________
Answer:
The approximate spring constant is [tex]k = 55533.33 \ N/m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the person is [tex]m = 68 \ kg[/tex]
The dip of the car is [tex]x = 1.2 \ cm = 0.012 \ m[/tex]
Generally according to hooks law
[tex]F = k * x[/tex]
here the force F is the weight of the person which is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = m * g[/tex]
=> [tex]m * g = k * x[/tex]
=> [tex]k = \frac{m * g }{x }[/tex]
=> [tex]k = \frac{68 * 9.8}{ 0.012}[/tex]
=> [tex]k = 55533.33 \ N/m[/tex]
Specific heat is a measurement of the amount of heat energy input required for one gram of a substance to increase its temperature by one degree Celsius. Solid lithium has a specific heat of 3.5 J/g·°C. This means that one gram of lithium requires 3.5 J of heat to increase 1°C. Plot the temperature of 1g of lithium after 3.5, 7, and 10.5 J of thermal energy are added.
Answer:
ΔT = 1ºC , 2ºCand 3ºC
Explanation:
In this exercise they indicate the specific heat of lithium
let's calculate the temperature increase as a function of the heat introduced
Q = m [tex]c_{e}[/tex] ΔT
ΔT = Q / m c_{e}
calculate
for Q = 3.5 J
ΔT = 3.5 / (1 3.5)
ΔT = 1ºC
For Q = 7.0 J
ΔT = 7 / (1 3.5)
ΔT = 2ºC
for Q = 10.5 J
ΔD = 10.5 / (1 3.5)
ΔT = 3ºC
we see that this is a straight line, see attached
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]

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet. (The three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same outlet.) Assume that this is the standard household 120-V circuit with a 15-A fuse.
a. What current is drawn by each device?
b. To see if this combination will blow the 15-A fuse, find the total current used when all three appliances are on.
Answer:
total current = 12.417 A
so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A
Explanation:
given data
toaster = 1140-W
blender = 270-W
lamp = 80-W
voltage = 120 V

here voltage is same in all three device
so
current by toaster is
I = [tex]\frac{1140}{120}[/tex]
I = 9.5 A
and
current by blender
I = [tex]\frac{270}{120}[/tex]
I = 2.25 A
and
current by lamp is
I = [tex]\frac{80}{120}[/tex]
I = 0.667 A
so here device in parallel so
total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A
total current = 12.417 A
so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

During the spin cycle of your clothes washer, the tub rotates at a steady angular velocity of 31.7 rad/s. Find the angular displacement Δθ of the tub during a spin of 98.3 s, expressed both in radians and in revolutions.
Answer:
[tex]\Delta \theta = 3116.11\,rad[/tex] and [tex]\Delta \theta = 495.944\,rev[/tex]
Explanation:
The tub rotates at constant speed and the kinematic formula to describe the change in angular displacement ([tex]\Delta \theta[/tex]), measured in radians, is:
[tex]\Delta \theta = \omega \cdot \Delta t[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\omega[/tex] - Steady angular speed, measured in radians per second.
[tex]\Delta t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.
If [tex]\omega = 31.7\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex] and [tex]\Delta t = 98.3\,s[/tex], then:
[tex]\Delta \theta = \left(31.7\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)\cdot (98.3\,s)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta \theta = 3116.11\,rad[/tex]
The change in angular displacement, measured in revolutions, is given by the following expression:
[tex]\Delta \theta = (3116.11\,rad)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{rev}{rad} \right)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta \theta = 495.944\,rev[/tex]
A hydraulic lift raises a 2 000-kg automobile when a 500-N force is applied to the smaller piston. If the smaller piston has an area of 10 cm2, what is the cross-sectional area of the larger piston
Answer:
The cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392 cm²
Explanation:
Given;
output mass of the piston, m₀ = 2000 kg
input force of the piston, F₁ = 500 N
input area of the piston, A₁ = 10 cm² = 0.001 m²
The output force is given by;
F₀ = m₀g
F₀ = 2000 x 9.8
F₀ = 19600 N
The cross-sectional area of the larger piston or output area of the piston will be calculated by applying the following equations;
[tex]\frac{F_i}{A_i} = \frac{F_o}{A_o} \\\\A_o= \frac{F_o A_i}{F_i} \\\\A_o = \frac{19600*0.001}{500} \\\\A_o = 0.0392 \ m^2\\\\A_o = 392 \ cm^2[/tex]
Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392 cm²

Sammy is 5 feet and 5.3 inches tall.
a). What is Sammy's height in Inches? (answer to 3 significant figures)
(3)
b). What is Sammy's height in Feet? (answer to 3 significant figures)
what is Sammy's hight in feet according to this statement
Explanation:
1 inch = 25.4 mm
1 foot = 12 inches
1 mile = 5260 feet
1 cm = 0.01 m or 10 mm
Now Sammy's height is 5 feet and 5.3 inches.
(a) We need to find Sammy's height in inches.
Since, 1 foot = 12 inches
5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches
Now, 5 feet and 5.3 inches = 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches
Sammy's height is 65.3 inches.
(b) We need to find Sammy's height in feet.
Since, 1 foot = 12 inches
[tex]1\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{feet}[/tex]
So,
[tex]5.3\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{5.3}{12}\ \text{feet}=0.4416\ \text{feet}[/tex]
5 feet and 5.3 inches = 5 feet + 0.4416 feet = 5.44 feet
Sammy's height is 5.44 feet.

In a double‑slit interference experiment, the wavelength is lambda=487 nm , the slit separation is d=0.200 mm , and the screen is D=48.0 cm away from the slits. What is the linear distance Δx between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen?
Answer:
Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm
Explanation:
The distance between the consecutive maxima, in Young's Double Slit Experiment is given bu the following formula:
Δx = λD/d
So, the distance between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen will be given as:
Δx = 4λD/d
where,
Δx = distance between eighth order maximum and fourth order maximum=?
λ = wavelength = 487 nm = 4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m
d = slit separation = 0.2 mm = 2 x 10⁻⁴ m
D = Distance between slits and screen = 48 cm = 0.48 m
Therefore,
Δx = (4)(4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m)(0.48 m)/(2 x 10⁻⁴ m)
Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm

Explanation:
Warm blooded animals are homeothermic; that is, they maintain an approximately constant body temperature. (Forhumans it's about 37 oC.) When they are in an environment that is below their optimum temperature, they use energy derived from chemical reactions within their bodies to warm them up. One of the ways that animals lose energy to their environment is through radiation. Every object emits electromagnetic radiation that depends on its temperature. For very hot objects like the sun, that radiation is visible light. For cooler objects, like a house or a person, that radiation is in the infrared and is invisible. Nonetheless, it still carries energy. Other ways that energy is lost by a warm animal to a cool environment includes conduction (direct touching of a cooler object) and convection (cooler air moving and carrying thermal energy away). See Heat Transfer for a discussion of all three.
For this problem, we'll just consider how much energy an animal needs to burn (obtain from internal chemical reactions) in order to stay warm just from radiation losses. The rate at which an object loses energy through radiation is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann equation:
Rate of energy loss = AεσT4
where T is the absolute (Kelvin) temperature, A is the area of the object, ε is the emissivity (unitless and =1 for a perfect emitter, less for anything else), and σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant:
σ = 5.67 x 10-8 J/(s m2 K4)
Consider a patient trying to sleep naked in a cool room (55 oF = 13 oC). Assume that the person being considered is a perfect emitter and absorber of radiation (ε = 1), has a surface area of about 2.5 m2, and a mass of 80 kg.
a. A person emits thermal radiation at a rate corresponding to a temperature of 37 oC and absorbs radiation at a rate (from the air and walls) corresponding to a temperature of 13 oC. Calculate the individual's net rate of energy loss due to radiation (in Watts = Joules/second).
net rate of energy loss = Watts
b. Assume the patient produces no energy to keep warm. If they have a specific heat about equal to that of water (1 Cal/kg-oC) how much would their temperature fall in one hour? (1 Cal = 1kcal = 103 cal)
ΔT = oC
c. Given that the energy density of fat is about 9 Cal/g, how many grams of fat would the person have to utilize to maintain their body temperature in that environment for one hour?
amount of fat needed = g
Answer:
a) 360.7 J/s
b) 16.23 °C
c) 34.48 g
Explanation:
The mass of the person = 80 kg
The person is a perfect emitter, ε = 1
surface area of the person = 2.5 m^2
a) If he emits radiation at 37 °C, [tex]T_{out}[/tex] = 37 + 273 = 310 K
and receives radiation at 13 °C, [tex]T_{in}[/tex] = 13 + 273 = 286 K
Rate of energy loss E = Aεσ([tex]T^{4} _{out}[/tex] - [tex]T^{4} _{in}[/tex] )
where σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 J/(s m^2 K^4)
substituting values, we have
E = 2.5 x 1 x 5.67 x 10^-8 x ([tex]310^{4}[/tex] - [tex]286^{4}[/tex]) = 360.7 J/s
b) If they have specific heat about equal to that of water = 1 Cal/kg-°C
but 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 10^3 cal
specific heat of person is therefore = 10^3 cal/kg-°C
heat loss = 360.7 J/s = 360.7 x 3600 = 1298520 J/hr
heat lost in 1 hour = 1 x 1298520 = 1298520 J
This heat lost = mcΔT
where ΔT is the temperature fall
m is the mass
c is the specific heat equivalent to that of water
the specific heat is then = 10^3 cal/kg-°C
equating, we have
1298520 = 80 x 10^3 x ΔT
1298520 = 80000ΔT
ΔT = 1298520/80000 = 16.23 °C
c) 1298520 J = 1298520/4184 = 310.35 Cal
density of fat = 9 Cal/g
gram of fat = 310.35/9 = 34.48 g
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]
