Answer:

Option 2 (observing, measuring, testing, and explaining their ideas) is the correct choice.

Explanation:

The other three choices have no relation to a particular task. So the option given here is just the right one.

Answer:

0.6 m/s

Explanation:

2Hz = 2^-1 = 2 /s

30cm = .3m

Velocity is in the units m/s, so multiplying wavelength in meters by the frequency will give you the velocity.

(.3m)*(2 /s) = 0.6 m/s

Assuming constant speeds, the P-wave covers a distance d in time t such that

9000 m/s = d/(60 t)

while the S-wave covers the same distance after 1 more minute so that

5000 m/s = d/(60(t + 1))

Now,

d = 540,000 t

d = 300,000(t + 1) = 300,000 t + 300,000

Solve for t in the first equation and substitute it into the second equation, then solve for d :

t = d/540,000

d = 300,000/540,000 d + 300,000

4/9 d = 300,000

d = 675,000

So the earthquake center is 675,000 m away from the seismic station.

Answer:

The correct choice is B & E.  

Explanation:

A solenoid is a coil of wire (usually copper) which is used as an electromagnet. Solenoids are used to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. When this type of device is created it is also called a solenoid. One can increase the energy density within the solenoid or the coil by upping the electric current in the coil.

Answer:

The reflected resistance in the primary winding is 6250 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns in the primary winding, [tex]N_P[/tex] = 50 turns

number of turns in the secondary winding, [tex]N_S[/tex] = 10 turns

the secondary load resistance, [tex]R_S[/tex] = 250 Ω

Determine the turns ratio;

[tex]K = \frac{N_P}{N_S} \\\\K = \frac{50}{10} \\\\K = 5[/tex]

Now, determine the reflected resistance in the primary winding;

[tex]\frac{R_P}{R_S} = K^2\\\\R_P = R_SK^2\\\\R_P = 250(5)^2\\\\R_P = 6250 \ Ohms[/tex]

Therefore, the reflected resistance in the primary winding is 6250 Ω

Answer:

μ = 1

F = P√2

Explanation:

The parabola equation is: y = ½ x².

The slope of the tangent is dy/dx = x.

The angle between the tangent and the x-axis is θ = tan⁻¹(x).

At x = 1, θ = 45°.

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are three forces:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the surface,

and friction force Nμ pushing up tangential to the surface.

Sum of forces in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N − P cos 45° = 0

N = P cos 45°

Sum of forces in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

Nμ − P sin 45° = 0

Nμ = P sin 45°

μ = P sin 45° / N

μ = tan 45°

μ = 1

Draw a new free body diagram.  This time, friction force points down tangential to the surface, and applied force F pushes up tangential to the surface.

Sum of forces in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

F − Nμ − P sin 45° = 0

F = Nμ + P sin 45°

F = (P cos 45°) μ + P sin 45°

F = P√2

Answer:

[tex]v_B/v_A=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Explanation:

Consider the two kinematic equations for velocity and position of an object falling due to the action of gravity:

[tex]v=-g\,t\\ \\position=-\frac{1}{2} g\,t^2[/tex]

Therefore, if we consider [tex]t_A[/tex] the time for the object to reach point A, and [tex]t_B[/tex] the time for it to reach point B, then:

[tex]v_A=-g\,t_A\\v_B=-g\,t_B\\\frac{v_B}{v_A}= \frac{-g\,t_B}{-g\,t_A} =\frac{t_B}{t_A}[/tex]

Let's work in a similar way with the two different positions at those different times, and for which we have some information;

[tex]x_A=-x=-\frac{1}{2}\, g\,t_A^2\\x_B=-3\,x=-\frac{1}{2}\, g\,t_B^2\\ \\\frac{x_B}{x_A} =\frac{t_B^2}{t_A^2} \\\frac{t_B^2}{t_A^2}=\frac{-3\,x}{-x} \\\frac{t_B^2}{t_A^2}=3\\(\frac{t_B}{t_A})^2=3[/tex]

Notice that this quotient is exactly the square of the quotient of velocities we are looking for, therefore:

[tex](\frac{t_B}{t_A})^2=3\\(\frac{v_B}{v_A})^2=3\\ \frac{v_B}{v_A}=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Answer:

a) the distance between the interference fringes is reduced by half

b) the distance between stripes is doubled

Explanation:

Interference experiments constructive interference is described by the expression

          d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry to find the distance between the interference fringes

              tan θ=  y / L

dodne y is the distance from the central maximum, L the distance from the slit to the observation screen. In general these experiments are carried out at very small angles

            tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

we substitute

             sin θ = y / L

            d y / L = m  λ

           y = m λ / d L

a) it asks us when the screen doubles its distance

           L ’= 2 L

subtitute in the equation

           y ’= m λ / (d 2L)

           y ’=( m λ / d L) /2

           y ’= y / 2

the distance between the interference fringes is reduced by half

b) the density of the network doubles

      if the density doubles in the same distance there are twice as many slits, so the distance between them is reduced by half

            d ’= d / 2

we substitute

          y ’= m λ (L d / 2)

          y ’= m λ / (L d) 2

          y ’= y 2

the distance between stripes is doubled

Answer:

T = 3.14 hours

Explanation:

We need to find the orbital period (in hours) of an observation satellite in a circular orbit 1,787 km above Mars.

We know that the radius of Mars is 3,389.5 km.

So, r = 1,787 + 3,389.5 = 5176.5 km

Using Kepler's law,

[tex]T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}r^3[/tex]

M is mass of Mars, [tex]M=6.39\times 10^{23}\ kg[/tex]

So,

[tex]T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6.39\times 10^{23}}\times (5176.5 \times 10^3)^3\\\\T=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.39\times10^{23}}\times(5176.5\times10^{3})^{3}}\\\\T=11334.98\ s[/tex]

or

T = 3.14 hours

So, the orbital period is 3.14 hours

Answer: R=24.2Ω

Explanation: Power is rate of work being done in an electric circuit. It relates to voltage, current and resistance through the following formulas:

P=V.i

P=R.i²

[tex]P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}[/tex]

The resistance of the system is:

[tex]P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}[/tex]

[tex]R=\frac{V^{2}}{P}[/tex]

[tex]R=\frac{110^{2}}{500}[/tex]

R = 24.2Ω

For the device, resistance is 24.2Ω.

Answer:

The direction of the magnetic field on point P, equidistant from both wires, and having equal magnitude of current flowing through them will be pointed perpendicularly away from the direction of the wires.

Explanation:

Using the right hand grip, the direction of the magnet field on the wire M is counterclockwise, and the direction of the magnetic field on wire N is clockwise. Using this ideas, we can see that the magnetic flux of both field due to the currents of the same magnitude through both wires, acting on a particle P equidistant from both wires will act in a direction perpendicularly away from both wires.

Answer:

7066kg/m³

Explanation:

The forces in these cases (air and water) are: Fa =mg =ρbVg Fw =(ρb −ρw)Vg where ρw = 1000 kg/m3 is density of water and ρb is density of the block and V is its density. We can find it from this two equations:

Fa /Fw = ρb / (ρb −ρw) ρb = ρw (Fa /Fa −Fw) =1000·(1* 21.2 /21.2 − 18.2)

= 7066kg/m³

Explanation:

Answer:

The volume of the block is 306 cm³

The density of the block is 7.07 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given;

weight of block in air, [tex]W_a[/tex] = 21.2 N

Weight of block in water, [tex]W_w[/tex] = 18.2 N

Mass of the block in air;

[tex]W_a = mg[/tex]

21.2 = m x 9.8

m = 21.2 / 9.8

m = 2.163 kg

mass of the block in water;

[tex]W_w = mg[/tex]

18.2 = m x 9.8

m = 18.2 / 9.8

m = 1.857 kg

Apply Archimedes principle

Mass of object in air  - mass of object in water = density of water   x  volume                  of object

2.163 kg - 1.857 kg = 1000 kg/m³ x Volume of block

0.306 kg = 1000 kg/m³ x Volume of block

Volume of the block = [tex]\frac{0.306 \ kg}{1000 \ kg/m^3}[/tex]

Volume of the block = 3.06 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Volume of the block = 306 cm³

Determine the density of the block

[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\\\Density =\frac{2163 \ g}{306 \ cm^3} \\\\Density = 7.07 \ g/cm^3[/tex]

Answer:

The magnetic force would be:

[tex]F\approx 2.625\,\,10^{-5}\,\,N[/tex]

Explanation:

Recall that the magnetic force on a charged particle (of charge q) moving with velocity (v) in a magnetic field B, is given by the vector product:

F = q v x B

(where the bold represents vectors)

the vector product involves the sine of the angle ([tex]\theta[/tex]) between the vectors, so we can write the relationship between the magnitudes of these quantities as:

[tex]F=q\,v\,B\,sin(\theta)[/tex]

Therefore replacing the known quantities for the first case:

[tex]F=q\,v\,B\,sin(\theta)\\2.98\,\,10^{-4} \,\,N=q\,(25.7\,\,m/s)\,B\,sin(90^o)\\2.98\,\,10^{-4} \,\,N=q\,(25.7\,\,m/s)\,B\\q\,\,B=\frac{2.98\,\,10^{-4} }{25.7} \,\frac{N\,\,s}{m}[/tex]

Now, for the second case, we can find the force by using this expression for the product of the particle's charge times the magnetic field, and the new velocity and angle:

[tex]F=q\,v\,B\,sin(\theta)\\F=q\,(4.64\,\,m/s)\,B\,sin(29.2^o)\\F=q\,B(4.64\,\,m/s)\,\,sin(29.2^o)\\F=\frac{2.98\,\,10^{-4} }{25.7} \,(4.64\,\,m/s)\,\,sin(29.2^o)\\F\approx 2.625\,\,10^{-5}\,\,N[/tex]

Answer:

(a)106.4C

b)0.5676mm

Explanation:

(a)To get the charge that have passed through the starter then The current will be multiplied by the duration

I= current

t= time taken

Q= required charge

Q= I*t = 140*0.760 = 106.C

(b) b. How far does an electron travel along the wire while the starter motor is on?(mm)

diameter of the conductor is 4.20 mm

But Radius= diameter/2= 4.20/2=

The radius of the conductor is 2.1mm, then if we convert to metre for consistency same then

radius of the conductor is 0.0021m.

We can now calculate the area of the conductor which is

A = π*r^2

= π*(0.0021)^2 = 13.85*10^-6 m^2

We can proceed to calculate the current density below

J = 140/13.85*10^-6 = 10108303A/m

According to the listed reference:

Where e= 1.6*10^-19

n= 8.46*10^28

Vd = J/(n*e) = 10108303/ ( 8.46*10^28 * 1.6*10^-19 ) =0.0007468m/s=0 .7468 mm/s

Therefore , the distance traveled is:

x = v*t = 0.7468 * 0.760 = 0.5676mm

(a) The charge passes through the starter motor is 106.4C.

(b) An electron travel along the wire while the starter motor is on 0.5676mm.

Answer (a)

I= current

t= time taken

Q= required charge

Q= I*t

Q= 140*0.760

Q= 106.C

Answer (b)

The n electron travel along the wire while the starter motor is on:

Diameter of the conductor is 4.20 mm

Radius= diameter/2= 4.20/2

Radius =2.1mm

Radius of the conductor is 0.0021m.

A = π*r^2

A= π*(0.0021)^2

A= 13.85*10^-6 m^2

Where e= 1.6*10^-19

n= 8.46*10^28

Vd = J/(n*e) = 10108303/ ( 8.46*10^28 * 1.6*10^-19 )

Vd  =0.0007468m/s

Vd =0 .7468 mm/s

The distance traveled is:

Answer:

The wavelength is [tex]\lambda_2 = 534 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength of the first light is  [tex]\lambda _ 1 = 587 \ nm[/tex]

    The order of the first light that is being considered is  [tex]m_1 = 10[/tex]

     The order of the second light that is being considered is  [tex]m_2 = 11[/tex]

Generally the distance between the fringes for the first light is mathematically represented as

      [tex]y_1 = \frac{ m_1 * \lambda_1 * D}{d}[/tex]

 Here  D is the distance from the screen

 and    d  is the distance of separation of the slit.

      For the second light the distance between the fringes is  mathematically represented as

         [tex]y_2 = \frac{ m_2 * \lambda_2 * D}{d}[/tex]

Now given that both of the light are passed through the same double slit

       [tex]\frac{y_1}{y_2} = \frac{\frac{m_1 * \lambda_1 * D}{d} }{\frac{m_2 * \lambda_2 * D}{d} } = 1[/tex]

=>    [tex]\frac{ m_1 * \lambda _1 }{ m_2 * \lambda_2} = 1[/tex]

=>     [tex]\lambda_2 = \frac{m_1 * \lambda_1}{m_2}[/tex]

Answer:

Chemical changes are recognized when a substance changes its properties permanently and it cannot be the same substance as before.

Instead the physical changes implies that if you can return to the same substance through a reverse process.

Explanation:

A chemical change is, by example, a combustion, if a sheet of paper burns, its result is ashes, the ashes cannot go back to being a sheet of paper because its properties changed, heat energy was generated that changed matter permanently.

A physical change, by example, is that of freezing water, the water becomes ice, but this can easily become water again if the temperature is increased, its properties do not change and the chemistry of the substance does not change.

A chemical change takes place when a chemical reaction takes place, while when a matter changes forms but not the chemical identity then a physical change takes place.  

• A product or a new compound formation takes place from a chemical change as the rearrangement of atoms takes place to produce novel chemical bonds.  

• In a chemical change always a chemical reaction takes place.  

• Some of the chemical changes examples are souring milk, burning wood, digesting food, mixing acid and base, cooking food, etc.  

• In a physical change no new chemical species form.  

• The changing of the state of a pure substance between liquid, gas, or solid is a physical change as there is no change in the identity of the matter.  

• Some of the physical changes are melting of ice, tempering of steel, breaking a bottle, crumpling a sheet of aluminum foil, boiling water, and shredding paper.  

Thus, a new substance is formed during a chemical change, while a physical change does not give rise to a new substance.

From the question we are told that small-angle approximation is valid here.

So    [tex]sin (\theta ) = \theta[/tex]

=>        [tex]d \theta = n \lambda[/tex]

=>        [tex]\theta = \frac{n * \lambda }{d }[/tex]

From the question we are told that small-angle approximation is valid here.

So

Answer:

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete because of the absence of the data been talked about in the question. However, there is a general ruling here and it can be applied to the data at hand.

If an increase in the distance of charges (let's denote with "d") causes the electric field strength (let's denote with"E") to increase, then the mathematical representation can be illustrated as d ∝ E (meaning distance of charge is directly proportional to electric field strength).

But if an increase in the distance of the charges causes the electric field strength to decrease, then the mathematical representation can be illustrated as d ∝ 1/E (meaning distance of charge is inversely proportional to electric field strength).

A scatterplot can also be used to determine this. If there is a positive correlation (correlation value is greater than zero but less than or equal to 1) on the graph, then it is illustrated as "d ∝ E" BUT if there is a negative correlation (correlation value is less than zero but greater than or equal to -1), then it can be illustrated as "d ∝ 1/E".

Answer:

145060km

Explanation: Given that

speed = dx/dt = 2t^2 +1

integrate

x = 2/3t^3 + t + c (c is constant, x is in km, t is in second)

given that at t=0, x = 1000

so 1000 = 2/3 X (0)^3 + 0 + c

or c = 1000

So x = 2/3t^3 + t + 1000

for t = 1 min = 60s

x = 2/3 X 60^3 + 60 + 1000

x = 2/3×216000+ 1060

x = 144000+1060

= 145060km

At one minute, it will be 145060km far from the earth

Answer:

Star A has a higher surface temperature than star B.

Explanation:

The effective temperature of a star can be determined by means of its spectrum and Wien's displacement law:

[tex]T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}[/tex] (1)

Where T is the effective temperature of the star and [tex]\lambda_{max}[/tex] is the maximum peak of emission.  

A body that is hot enough emits light as a consequence of its temperature. For example, if an iron bar is put in contact with fire, it will start to change colors as the temperature increase, until it gets to a blue color, that scenario is known as Wien's displacement law. Which establishes that the peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase and higher wavelengths as the temperature decreases.

Therefore, star A has a higher surface temperature than star B, as it is shown in equation 1 since T and [tex]\lambda max[/tex] are inversely proportional.

you stood on a planet having a mass four times that of earth mass and a radius two times of earth radius , you would weigh?

A) four times more than you do on Earth.

B) two times less than you do on Earth.

C) the same as you do on Earth

D) two times more than you do on Earth

Answer:

OPTION C is correct

The same as you do on Earth

Explanation :

According to law of gravitation :

F=GMm/R^2......(a)

F= mg.....(b)

M= mass of earth

m = mass of the person

R = radius of the earth

From law of motion

Put equation b into equation a

mg=GMm/R^2

g=GMm/R^2

g=GM/R^2

We know from question a planet having a mass four times that of earth mass and a radius two times of earth radius if we substitute we have

m= 4M

r=(2R)^2=4R^2

g= G4M/4R^2

Then, 4in the denominator will cancel out the numerator we have

g= GM/R^2

Therefore, g remain the same

Complete question is;

The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 6.50 m apart. As you sit in the chair, your head is 3.00 m from the nearer mirror. Looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (The mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) How far away does the back of your head appear to be?

Answer:

13 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Distance between two nearly parallel mirrors; d = 6.5 m

Distance between the face and the nearer mirror; x = 3 m

Thus, the distance between the back-head and the mirror = 6.5 - 3 = 3.5m

Now, From the given values above and using the law of reflection, we can find the distance of the first reflection of the back of the head of the person in the rear mirror.

Thus;

Distance of the first reflection of the back of the head in the rear mirror from the object head is;

y' = 2y

y' = 2 × 3.5

y' = 7

The total distance of this image from the front mirror would be calculated as;

z = y' + x

z = 7 + 3

z = 10

Finally, the second reflection of this image will be 10 meters inside in the front mirror.

Thus, the total distance of the image of the back of the head in the front mirror from the person will be:

T.D = x + z

T.D = 3 + 10

T.D = 13m

Answer:

221 lines per millimetre

Explanation:

We know that for a diffraction grating, dsinθ =mλ where d = spacing between grating, θ = angle to maximum, m = order of maximum and λ = wavelength of light.

Since the grating is 42.0 cm from the screen and its first order maximum (m = 1) is at 6.09 cm from the center of the pattern,

tanθ = 6.09 cm/42.0 cm = 0.145

From trig ratios, cot²θ + 1 = cosec²θ

cosecθ = √((1/tanθ)² + 1) = √((1/0.145)² + 1) = √48.562 = 6.969

sinθ = 1/cosecθ = 1/6.969 = 0.1435

Also, sinθ = mλ/d at the first-order maximum, m = 1. So

sinθ = (1)λ/d = λ/d

Equating both expressions we have  

0.1435 = λ/d

d = λ/0.1435

Now, λ = 650 nm = 650 × 10⁻⁹ m

d = 650 × 10⁻⁹ m/0.1435

d = 4529.62 × 10⁻⁹ m per line

d = 4.52962 × 10⁻⁶ m per line

d = 0.00452962 × 10⁻³ m per line

d = 0.00452962 mm per line

Since d = width of grating/number of lines of grating

Then number of lines per millimetre = 1/grating spacing

= 1/0.00452962

= 220.77 lines per millimetre

≅ 221 lines per millimetre since we can only have a whole number of lines.
