Answer:

Explanation:

Bohr's atomic model was replaced by the  modern atomic model because of its limitations, which included :

(a) Only applicable for Hydrogen and like atoms ( He+1, Li+2 )

(b) Couldn't explain Zeeman Effect (splitting of spectral lines due external magnetic field ) and Stark Effect (splitting of spectral lines due to external electric field).

(c) Inconsistent with De-Broglie's Dual nature of matter and Heisenberg Uncertainty principal, etc.

Answer:

a) Connect a series resistance of 8,47 ohms

b)14,16 [A]

c) r = 10,96 ohms

Explanation:

My blower requires 120 (v) then, I have to connect a series resistor to make the nominal 240 (v) of the European voltage outlet drop to 120 (V) but at the same time keep the level of current to operate my blower

In America

P = V*I

1700 (w) = 120*I

I = 1700/120 [A]

I = 14,16 [A]        current needed for the blower

In Europe

120 (v)  (the drop of voltage I need) when a current of 14,16 passes through to series  resistor is

V = I*R          120 = 14,16* R         R = 8,47 ohms

c) P = I*r²

1700 (w) = 14,16 (A) * r²

r² = 120,06

r = 10,96 ohms

Answer:

Here,

v (final velocity) = 0

u (initial velocity) = u

a = ?

s = 1m

t = 0.4s

using the first equation of motion,

0 = u + 0.4a

= -0.4a = u

using the second equation of motion:

1 = 0.4u + 0.08a

from the bold equation

1 = 0.4(-0.4a) + 0.08a

1 = -0.16a + 0.08a

1 = -0.08a

a = -1/0.08

a = -100/8

a = -12.5 m/s/s

The correct answer is C. The inner planets are also called terrestrial planets.

Explanation:

Our solar system includes a total of eight planets. Additionally, planets are classified into broad categories including inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets category applies to planets such as Earth, Mercury, or Mars because these are located within the asteroid belt (region of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter). Moreover, inner planets differ from others due to their composition as they are composed of rocks and metals. Also, due to this composition, these are known as terrestrial planets. According to this, the statement that best describes inner planets is "The inner planets are also called terrestrial planets".

Answer:

The answer is c.) The inner planets are also called terrestrial planets.

Explanation:

Answer:

a) for the torque to be maximum, sin should be maximum

i.e (sinФ)maximum = 1

b) therefore the Maximum torque is

Tmax = 0.1838 × 1 = 0.1838  N.m

c) Given the torque is 71.0% of its maximum value; Ф  = 45.24⁰ ≈ 45⁰

Explanation:

Given that; Diameter is 8.40 cm,

Radius (R) = D/2 = 8.40/2 = 4.20 cm = 0.042 m

Number of turns (N) = 17

Current in the loop (I) = 3.20 A

Magnetic field (B) = 0.610 T

Let the angle between the loop's area vector A and the magnetic field B be

Now. the area of the loop is;

A = πR²

A = 3.14 ( 0.042 )²

A =  0.005539 m²

Torque on the loop (t) = NIABsinФ

t = 17 × 3.20 ×0.005539 × 0.610 × sinФ

t = 0.1838sinФ N.m

for the torque to be maximum, sin should be maximum

i.e (sinФ)maximum = 1

therefore the Maximum torque is

Tmax = 0.1838 × 1 = 0.1838  N.m

Given the torque is 71.0% of its maximum value

t = 0.71 × tmax

t = 0.71 × 0.1838

t = 0.1305

Now

0.1305 N.m =  0.1838 sinФ N.m

sinФ = 0.1305 / 0.1838

sinФ = 0.71001

Ф = sin⁻¹ 0.71001

Ф  = 45.24⁰ ≈ 45⁰

Answer:

Resistance of each bulb = 360 ohms

Explanation:

Let each bulb have a resistance r .

Since, even after removing one of the bulbs, the circuit is closed and the other bulbs glow. Therfore, the bulbs are connected in Parallel connection.

[tex] \frac{1}{r(equivalent)} = \frac{1}{r1} + \frac{1}{r2} + + + + \frac{1}{r15} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{r(equivalent)} = \frac{15}{r} [/tex]

R(equivalent) = r/15

Now, As per Ohms Law :

V = I * R(equivalent)

120 V = 5 A * r/15

r = 360 ohms

Complete Question

An emf is induced in a conducting loop of wire 1.12m long as its shape is.

changed from square to circular. Find the average magnitude of the induced emf if the change in shape occurs in 0.125 ss and the local 0.504-TT magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.

Answer:

The induced emf is  [tex]\epsilon = 0.0863 \ V[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  time taken is  [tex]\Delta t = 0.125 \ s[/tex]

       The magnitude of the magnetic field is  B =  0.504 T

        The length of the loop wire is  [tex]l = 1.12 \ m[/tex]

Generally the circumference of the wire when in circular form is  

          [tex]C = 2 \pi r[/tex]

=>        [tex]l = 2 \pi r[/tex]

=>         [tex]r =[/tex][tex]\frac{l}{2 \pi}[/tex]

=>          [tex]r =[/tex][tex]\frac{1.12}{2 * 3.142}[/tex]

=>        [tex]r =[/tex][tex]0.1782 \ m[/tex]

Now the area of the wire as a circle is

           [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

    =>     [tex]A = 3.142 * (0.1782)^2[/tex]      

     =>    [tex]A = 0.0998 \ m^2[/tex]

The  length of one side of the square is

         [tex]b = \frac{l}{4}[/tex]

         [tex]b = \frac{1.12}{4}[/tex]

         [tex]b = 0.28 \ m[/tex]

Now the area of the wire as a square is

          [tex]A_s = b^2[/tex]

=>          [tex]A_s =(0.28 )^2[/tex]

             [tex]A_s = 0.0784 \ m^2[/tex]

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\epsilon = \frac{B * [A - A_s ]}{\Delta t }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\epsilon = \frac{0.504 * [0.0998 - 0.0784 ]}{0.125 }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\epsilon = 0.0863 \ V[/tex]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Since work done W = ∫F.dr and F(x, y, z)= z²i + 4xyj + 5y²k and dr = dxi + dyj + dzk

F.dr = (z²i + 4xyj + 5y²k).(dxi + dyj + dzk) = z²dx + 4xydy + 5y²dz

W = ∫F.dr = ∫z²dx + 4xydy + 5y²dz = z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z

We now evaluate the work done for the different regions

W₁ = work done from (0,0,0) to (1,0,0)

W₁ = {z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z}₀₀₀¹⁰⁰ = 0²(1) + 2(1)(0)² + 5(0)²(0) - [(0)²(0) + 2(0)(0)² + 5(0)²(0)] = 0 - 0 = 0 J

W₂ = work done from (1,0,0) to (1,5,1)

W₂ = {z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z}₁₀₀¹⁵¹ =   (1)²(1) + 2(1)(5)² + 5(5)²(1) - [0²(1) + 2(1)(0)² + 5(0)²(0)] =  1 + 50 + 125 - 0 = 176 J

W₃ = work done from (1,5,1) to (0,5,1)

W₃ = {z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z}₁₅₁⁰⁵¹ =   1²(0) + 2(0)(5)² + 5(5)²(1) - [(1)²(1) + 2(1)(5)² + 5(5)²(1)]  = 125 - (1 + 50 + 125) = 125 - 176 = -51 J

W₄ = work done from (0,5,1) to (0,0,0)

W₄ = {z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z}₁₅₁⁰⁰⁰ =   (0)²(0) + 2(0)(0)² + 5(0)²(0) - [1²(0) + 2(0)(5)² + 5(5)²(1)] = 0 - 125 = -125 J

The total work done W is thus

W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ + W₄

W = 0 J + 176 J - 51 J - 125 J

W = 176 J - 176 J

W = 0 J

The total work done equals 0 J

Answer: her rotational kinetic energy increases

Answer:

a. 320.06 Nm b. 2.814 rad/s² c. 2.811 rad/s².

Explanation:

a. The torque exerted τ = Frsinθ where F = tangential force exerted = 185 N, r = radius of grindstone = 1.73 m and θ = 90° since the force is tangential to the grindstone.

τ = Frsinθ

= 185 N × 1.73 m × sin90°

= 320.05 Nm

So, the torque τ = 320.05 Nm

b. Since torque τ = Iα where I = moment of inertia of grindstone = 1/2MR² where M = mass of grindstone = 76 kg and R = radius of grindstone = 1.73 m

α = angular acceleration of grindstone

τ = Iα

α = τ/I = τ/(MR²/2) = 2τ/MR²

substituting the values of the variables, we have

α = 2τ/MR²

= 2 × 320.05 Nm/[76 kg × (1.73 m)²]

= 640.1 Nm/227.4604 kgm²

= 2.814 rad/s²

So, the angular acceleration α = 2.814 rad/s²

c. The opposing frictional force produces a torque τ' = F'r' where F' = frictional force = 20.0 N and r' = distance of frictional force from axis = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m.

So  τ' = F'r' = 20.0 N × 0.015 m = 0.3 Nm

The net torque on the grindstone is thus τ'' = τ - τ' = 320.05 Nm - 0.3 Nm = 319.75 Nm

Since τ'' = Iα

α' = τ''/I where α' = its new angular acceleration

α' = 2τ/MR²

= 2 × 319.75 Nm/[76 kg × (1.73 m)²]

= 639.5 Nm/227.4604 kgm²

= 2.811 rad/s²

So, the angular acceleration α' = 2.811 rad/s²

Answer:

The period of motion is 0.5 second.

Explanation:

Given;

extension of the spring, x = 3.8 cm = 0.038 m

mass of the object, m = 13 g = 0.013 kg

Determine the force constant of the spring, k;

F = kx

k = F / x

k = mg / x

k = (0.013 x 9.8) / 0.038

k = 3.353 N/m

When the object is replaced with a block of mass 20 g, the period of motion is calculated as;

[tex]T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\\\T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.02}{3.353} } \\\\T = 0.5 \ second[/tex]

Therefore, the period of motion is 0.5 second.

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of soap film , light gets reflected from denser medium , hence interference takes place between two waves , one reflected from upper and second from lower surface . For destructive interference the condition is

2μt = nλ where μ is refractive index of water , t is thickness , λ is wavelength of light and n is an integer .

2 x 1.34 x t = 1  x 580

t = 216.42 nm .

Thickness must be 216.42 nm .

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

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

Answer:

A The father should sit closer to the pivot.

C The longer wrench makes the job easier because less force is needed when there is more distance from the pivot.

A As far from the head of the hammer as possible because this will maximize torque.

D at the opposite side of the seesaw towards the middle

:) gl

Explanation:

If a father and his son want to play on a seesaw then to balance the torque of the seesaw the father should sit near the pivot as he had more weight as compared to his son, while the son should sit a little farther from the pivot point as compared to his father.

Mechanical advantage is defined as a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, It is used to analyze the forces in simple machines like levers and pulleys.

Mechanical advantage = output force(load) /input force (effort)

As given in the problem statement If a father and his son wish to play on a seesaw,

The father should sit close to the pivot because he weighs more than his son, and the son should sit a little farther away from the pivot point than his father. This will help balance the torque of the seesaw.

Thus, the father should sit near the pivot on the one side and the son should sit a little farther from the pivot of a seesaw on the other side.

Answer:

The polarity of the magnetic field changes

Explanation:

This because The magnetic field generated is always perpendicular to the direction of the current and parallel to the solonoid. Hence if we reverse the current the direction of magnetism also reverses. In other words the magnetic poles gets reversed (North pole becomes south pole and the south pole becomes the north pole)

constructive interferencia  0, 1 , 2 m

destructive inteferencia   1/4, 3/4. 5/4, 7/4 m

Explanation:

This exercise is equivalent to the double slit experiment, the two sources are in phase and separated by a distance, therefore the waves observed in the line between them have an optical path difference and a phase difference, given by the expression

            Δr / λ = Φ / 2π

            Δr = Φ/2π   λ

let's apply this expression to our case

λ = 1 m

            Δr = Φ 1 / 2π

We have constructive interference for angle of  Φ = 0, 2π, ...

Answer:

Ok, the question is incomplete buy ill try to answer this in a general way.

Suppose that you have no-polarized light.

When that light hits one polaroid, the light becomes polarized along some line, and has an intensity I0.

Now, when polarized light hits a polaroid which axis is at an angle θ with respect to the polarization of the light, the intensity of the resulting beam is given by the Malus's law:

I(θ) = I0*cos^2(θ)

For example, if the axis of the polaroid is exactly the same as the one of the polarized light, then we have θ = 0°

and:

I(0°) = I0*cos^2(0°) = I0

So the intensity does not change.

Now, knowing the initial intensity, you can find the angle needed to get a given intensity.

For example, if the question was:

"At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to A"

We should solve:

I(θ) = A = I0*cos^2(θ)

(A/i0) = cos^2(θ)

√(A/I0) = cos(θ)

Acos(√(A/I0)) = θ

Answer:

If the magnet is moved, the galvanometer needle will deflect, showing that current is flowing through the coil which will increase total induced electromotive force

Explanation:

galvanometer is an instrument that can detect and measure small current in an electrical circuit.

If the magnet is moved, the galvanometer needle will deflect, showing that current is flowing through the coil. If it is move in a way into the coil,the needle deflect in that way and if it move in another way, it will deflect in the other way.

The total induced emf is equal to the emf induced in each loop by the changing magnetic flux, then multiplied by the number of loops and an increase in the number of loops will cause increase in the total induced emf.

plz mark as brainliest!!!!!!!

Answer:

Explanation:

Convert all lengths to meters:

Refer to the diagram attached (not to scale.) Assuming that the screen is parallel to the line joining the two slits. The following two angles are alternate interior angles and should be equal to each other:

These two angles are marked with two grey sectors on the attached diagram. Let the value of these two angles be [tex]\theta[/tex].

The path difference between the two beams is approximately equal to the length of the segment highlighted in green. In order to produce the first dark fringe from the center of the screen (the first minimum,) the length of that segment should be [tex]\lambda / 2[/tex] (one-half the wavelength of the light.)

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta \approx \frac{\text{Path difference}}{\text{Slit separation}} = \frac{\lambda / 2}{3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m}[/tex].

On the other hand:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \cot \theta &\approx \frac{\text{Distance between central peak and first minimum}}{\text{Distance between the screen and the slits}} \\ &= \frac{3.70\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m}{5.20\; \rm m} \approx 0.00711538\end{aligned}[/tex].

Because the cotangent of [tex]\theta[/tex] is very close to zero,

[tex]\cos \theta \approx \cot \theta \approx 0.00711538[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\lambda /2}{3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m} \approx \cos\theta\approx 0.00711538[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}\lambda &\approx 2\times 0.00711538 \times \left(3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m\right) \\ &\approx 4.26 \times 10^{-7}\; \rm m = 426\; \rm nm\end{aligned}[/tex].

If the path difference is increased by one wavelength, then the intersection of the two beams would move from one bright fringe to the next one.

On the other hand, if the distance between the maximum and the center of the screen is much smaller than the distance between the screen and the filter, then:

[tex]\begin{aligned}&\frac{\text{Distance between image and center of screen}}{\text{Distance between the screen and the slits}} \\ &\approx \cot \theta \\ &\approx \cos \theta \\ &\approx \frac{\text{Path difference}}{\text{Slit separation}}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Under that assumption, the distance between the maximum and the center of the screen is approximately proportional to the path difference. The distance between the image (the first minimum) and the center of the screen is [tex]3.70\; \rm cm[/tex] when the path difference is [tex]\lambda / 2[/tex]. The path difference required for the first maximum is twice as much as that. Therefore, the distance between the first maximum and the center of the screen would be twice the difference between the first minimum and the center of the screen: [tex]2 \times 3.70\; \rm cm = 7.40\; \rm cm[/tex].

Answer:

The speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the ultraviolet light beam, λ = 130 nm = 130 x 10⁻⁹ m

the work function of the molybdenum surface, W₀ = 4.2 eV = 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of the incident light is given by;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

f = c / λ

[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{130*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 15.291*10^{-19} \ J[/tex]

Photo electric effect equation is given by;

E = W₀ + K.E

Where;

K.E is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron

K.E = E - W₀

K.E = 15.291 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E = 8.563 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy of the emitted electron is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is mass of the electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v is the speed of the electron

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2*8.563*10^{-19}}{9.11*10^{-31}}}\\\\v = 1.371 *10^{6} \ m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.

Answer:

0.5639m

Explanation:

For a young double slit experiment the expression below gives the angular separation for m dark fringe having slit width d and wavelength λ

=sin⁻¹(mλ/d)

mλ /d =y/L

for the first order,

y= mλL/d

For ratio separation y₀/yD=1 and d= 1

y₀/yD= [mλ ₀L₀/d]/[mλD.LD./d]

1=λ ₀L₀/λD.LD.

λD.LD= λ ₀L₀

L₀= λD.LD/ λ ₀..............(1)

Then substitute the given values into (1) we have

L₀=471 *0.497/611

= 0.3831m

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.

When the linear speed of the race-car increases to v' = 4v, the centripetal acceleration a' becomes a' = v'²/R = (4v)²/R = 16v²/R.

So the centripetal acceleration, a' = 16v²/R.

To know how much the magnitude of the car's centripetal acceleration changes, we take the ratio a'/a = 16v²/R ÷ v²/R = 16

a'/a = 16

a' = 16a.

So the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration increases by 16 times when the linear speed increases by 4 times.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf 65.3 \ inches}[/tex]

Explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches

Sammy is 5 feet tall.

5 feet = ? inches

Multiply the feet value by 12 to find in inches.

5 × 12

= 60

Add 5.3 inches to 60 inches.

60 + 5.3

= 65.3

Answer:

(a) nearsighted

(b) diverging

(c) the lens strength in diopters is 1.33 D, and considering the convention for divergent lenses normally prescribed as: -1 33 D

Explanation:

(a) The person is nearsighted because he/she cannot see objects at distances larger than 75 cm.

(b) the type of correcting lens has to be such that it counteracts the excessive converging power of the eye of the person, so the lens has to be diverging (which by the way carries by convention a negative focal length)

(c) the absolute value of the focal length (f) is given by the formula:

[tex]f=\frac{1}{d} =\frac{1}{0.75} = 1.33\,D[/tex]

So it would normally be written with a negative signs in front indicating a divergent lens.
