Answer:
endothermic
Explanation:
An endothermic is any process with an increase in the enthalpy H (or internal energy U) of the system. In such a process, a closed system usually absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings, which is heat transfer into the system.
Two resistors with resistance values of 4.5 Ω and 2.3 Ω are connected in series or parallel
across a 30 V potential difference to a light bulb.
a. Calculate the current delivered through the light bulb in the two cases.
b. Draw the circuit connection that will achieve the brightest light bulb.
Explanation:
Given that,
Two resistors 4.5 Ω and 2.3 Ω .
Potential difference = 30 V
When they are in series, the current through each resistor remains the same. First find the equivalent resistance.
R' = 4.5 + 2.3
= 6.8 Ω
Current,
[tex]I=\dfrac{V}{R'}\\\\I=\dfrac{30}{6.8}\\\\=4.41\ A[/tex]
So, the current through both lightbulb is the same i.e. 4.41 A.
When they are in parallel, the current divides.
Current flowing in 4.5 resistor,
[tex]I_1=\dfrac{V}{R_1}\\\\=\dfrac{30}{4.5}\\\\I_1=6.7\ A[/tex]
Current flowing in 2.3 ohm resistor,
[tex]I_2=\dfrac{V}{R_2}\\\\=\dfrac{30}{2.3}\\\\I_2=13.04[/tex]

gAn optical engineer needs to ensure that the bright fringes from a double-slit are 15.7 mm apart on a detector that is from the slits. If the slits are illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 633 nm, how far apart should the slits be
Answer:
d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm
Explanation:
The complete question is as follows:
An optical engineer needs to ensure that the bright fringes from a double-slit are 15.7 mm apart on a detector that is 1.70m from the slits. If the slits are illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 633 nm, how far apart should the slits be?
The answer can be given by using the formula derived from Young's Double Slit Experiment:
[tex]y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\d =\frac{\lambda L}{y}\\\\[/tex]
where,
d = slit separation = ?
λ = wavelength = 633 nm = 6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m
L = distance from screen (detector) = 1.7 m
y = distance between bright fringes = 15.7 mm = 0.0157 m
Therefore,
[tex]d = \frac{(6.33\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(1.7\ m)}{0.0157\ m}\\\\[/tex]
d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm

The figure below shows a combination of capacitors. Find (a) the equivalent capacitance of combination, and (b) the energy stored in C3 and C4.
Answer:
A) C_{eq} = 15 10⁻⁶ F, B) U₃ = 3 J, U₄ = 0.5 J
Explanation:
In a complicated circuit, the method of solving them is to work the circuit in pairs, finding the equivalent capacitance to reduce the circuit to simpler forms.
In this case let's start by finding the equivalent capacitance.
A) Let's solve the part where C1 and C3 are. These two capacitors are in serious
[tex]\frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_3}[/tex] (you has an mistake in the formula)
[tex]\frac{1}{C_{eq1}} = (\frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{15}) \ 10^{6}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{C_{eq1}}[/tex] = 0.1 10⁶
[tex]C_{eq1}[/tex] = 10 10⁻⁶ F
capacitors C₂, C₄ and C₅ are in series
[tex]\frac{1}{C_{eq2}} = \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_4} + \frac{1}{C_5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{C_{eq2} } = (\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{10} ) \ 10^6[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{C_{eq2} }[/tex] = 0.2 10⁶
[tex]C_{eq2}[/tex] = 5 10⁻⁶ F
the two equivalent capacitors are in parallel therefore
C_{eq} = C_{eq1} + C_{eq2}
C_{eq} = (10 + 5) 10⁻⁶
C_{eq} = 15 10⁻⁶ F
B) the energy stored in C₃
The charge on the parallel voltage is constant
is the sum of the charge on each branch
Q = C_{eq} V
Q = 15 10⁻⁶ 6
Q = 90 10⁻⁶ C
the charge on each branch is
Q₁ = Ceq1 V
Q₁ = 10 10⁻⁶ 6
Q₁ = 60 10⁻⁶ C
Q₂ = C_{eq2} V
Q₂ = 5 10⁻⁶ 6
Q₂ = 30 10⁻⁶ C
now let's analyze the load on each branch
Branch C₁ and C₃
In series combination the charge is constant Q = Q₁ = Q₃
U₃ = [tex]\frac{Q^2}{2 C_3}[/tex]
U₃ =[tex]\frac{ 60 \ 10^{-6}}{2 \ 10 \ 10^{-6}}[/tex]
U₃ = 3 J
In Branch C₂, C₄, C₅
since the capacitors are in series the charge is constant Q = Q₂ = Q₄ = Q₅
U₄ = [tex]\frac{30 \ 10^{-6}}{ 2 \ 30 \ 10^{-6}}[/tex]
U₄ = 0.5 J

[tex]dA=8 \pi*(r_2^2-r_1^2)\\\\dA=8*3.142*(0.06^2-0.04^2)[/tex]
[tex]dA=0.050m^2[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]W=TdA[/tex]
[tex]T=\frac{1.5 * 10^{-4}}{0.05m^2}[/tex]

3. The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is entirely in the magnetic field.
4. The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is 25% in the electric field and 75% in the magnetic field.
5. The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is entirely in the electric field
Answer:
Option (2) is correct.
The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is equally divided between the magnetic and electric fields.
Explanation:
An electromagnetic waves are the waves which are produced when the oscillating electric and magnetic field are interact each other perpendicular to each other. The direction of propagation of electro magnetic waves is perpendicular to each electric and magnetic fields.
The energy associated with the electromagnetic waves is equally distributed in form of electric and magnetic fields.
So, the correct option is (2).
The energy density is equally distributed among the magnetic field and electric field. Hence, option (2) is correct.
The given problem is based on the concept and fundamentals of electromagnetic waves. The waves created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field is known as Electromagnetic waves.
In other words, an electromagnetic waves are the waves which are produced when the oscillating electric and magnetic field are interact each other perpendicular to each other. The direction of propagation of electro magnetic waves is perpendicular to each electric and magnetic fields.
Also, the energy associated with the electromagnetic waves is equally distributed in form of electric and magnetic fields. So, the energy density of an electromagnetic wave is equally divided between the magnetic and electric fields.
Thus, we can conclude that the energy density is equally distributed among the magnetic field and electric field.

The index of refraction for a vacuum is 1.00000. The index of refraction for air is 1.00029. 1) Determine the ratio of time required for light to travel through 1000 m of air to the time required for light to travel through 1000 m of vacuum. (Express your answer to six significant figures.)
Answer:
[tex]\frac{t_{air}}{t_{vaccum}}[/tex] = 1.00029
Explanation:
The refractive index is defined
n = c / v
v = c / n
the speed of light per se wave is constant, so we can use the relations of uniform motion
v = x / t
t = x / v
we substitute
t = x n / c
let's calculate the time
vacuum
t₁ = 1000 1/3 10⁸
t₁ = 3.333333 10⁻⁶ s
air
t₂ = 1000 1.00029 / 3 10⁸
t2 = 3.3343 10⁻⁶ s
the relationship between these times is
t₂ / t₁ = 3.3343 / 3.3333333
t₂ / t₁ = 1.00029
What is the maximum wavelength, in nm, of light that can eject an electron from a metal with Φ =4.50 x 10–19 J?
[tex]4.4×10^{-7}\:\text{m}[/tex]
Explanation:
The minimum energy needed to kick out an electron from a metal's surface is when the energy of the incident radiation is equal to the metal's work function [tex]\phi[/tex]:
[tex]E = h\nu - \phi = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi = 0[/tex]
or
[tex]\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} = \phi[/tex]
Solving for the wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex],
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{hc}{\phi}[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{(6.62×10^{-34}\:\text{J-s})(3.0×10^8\:\text{m/s})}{4.5×10^{-19}\:\text{J}}[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:= 4.4×10^{-7}\:\text{m}[/tex]
Note that as the radiation's wavelength increases, its energy decreases. So a radiation whose wavelength is longer than this maximum will lose its ability to kick out an electron from this metal.
The maximum wavelength, in nm, of light that can eject an electron from the metal, given the data is 441.73 nm.
To find the wavelength, the given values are,
Energy (E) = 4.50×10¯¹⁹ J
What is wavelength?The distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave.
Here, for the wavelength,
Energy (E) = 4.50×10¯¹⁹ J
Planck's constant (h) = 6.626×10¯³⁴ Js
Speed of light (v) = 3×10⁸ m/s
The wavelength of the light can be obtained as illustrated below:
E = hv / λ
Cross multiply λ,
E × λ = hv
Divide both sides by E,
λ = hv / E
Substituting all the values,
λ = (6.626×10¯³⁴ × 3×10⁸) / 4.50×10¯¹⁹
λ = 0.000000441733 m
λ = 441.73nm
λ - The maximum wavelength of light.
Thus, the wavelength of the light that can eject an electron from the metal is 441.73 nm

Complete Question
The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 980 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and 790 mbars at the end. Neglecting the effect of altitude on local gravitational acceleration, determine the vertical distance climbed. Assume an average air density of 1.20kg/m^2
Answer:
[tex]h=1614m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Initial Pressure [tex]P_1=980mbar=>98000Pa[/tex]
Final Pressure [tex]P_2=790mbar=>79000Pa[/tex]
Density [tex]\rho=1.20kg/m^2[/tex]
Generally the equation for Height climbed is mathematically given by
[tex]h=\frac{P_1-P_2}{\rho*g}[/tex]

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 2.60 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 4.70 m below. Calculate the velocity (in m/s) of the fish just before it hits the water. (Assume that the eagle is flying in the x direction and that the y direction is up.)
Answer:
Explanation:
The fish will have horizontal velocity of 2.6 m/s which is also the velocity of eagle. Additionally , he will have vertical velocity due to fall under gravity .
v² = u² + 2 g H .
v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 4.7 m
= 92.12
v = 9.6 m /s
The fish's final velocity will have two components
vertical component = 9.6 m/s downwards
Horizontal component = 2.6 m /s .
Resultant velocity = √ ( 9.6² + 2.6² )
= √ ( 92.16 + 6.76 )
= 9.9 m /s
Answer:
The speed of fish at the time of hitting the surface is 9.95 m/s.
Explanation:
Horizontal speed, u = 2.6 m/s
height, h = 4.7 m
Let the vertical velocity at the time of hitting to water is v.
Use third equation of motion
[tex]v^2 = u^2 - 2 gh \\\\v^2 = 0 + 2 \times 9.8\times 4.7\\\\v = 9.6 m/s[/tex]
The net velocity with which the fish strikes to the water is
[tex]v' = \sqrt{9.6^2 + 2.6^2 }\\\\v' = 9.95 m/s[/tex]

Wind instruments like trumpets and saxophones work on the same principle as the "tube closed on one end" that we examined in our last experiment. What effect would it have on the pitch of a saxophone if you take it from inside your house (76 degrees F) to the outside on a cold day when the outside temperature is 45 degrees F?
Answer:
The correct answer is - low pitch
Explanation:
Now for the case it is mentioned that the tube closed on one end frequency is:
f = v/2l
Where,
l = length of the tube
v = velocity of longitudinal wave of gas filled in the tube
if frequency increases then pitch will be increase as well as pitch depends on frequency.
Now increase with the temperature the density of the gas decreases and velocity v is inversely proportional to density of gas so velocity increases. So if there is an increase in frequency so pitch also increases.
As the temperature inside the house is at 750 F more than outsideat 450 Fso pitch is more inside and the pitch is low outside.

Two people, who have the same mass, throw two different objects at the same velocity. If the first object is heavier than the second, compare the velocities gained by the two people as a result of recoil.
a. The first person will gain more velocity as a result of recoll.
b. The second person will gain more velocity as a result of recoll.
c. Both people will gain the same velocity as a result of recoll.
d. The velocity of both people will be zero as a result of recoil
Answer:
The first person will gain more velocity as a result of recoil.
Explanation:
Let us recall that from Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equation and opposite. A consequence of this law is the proposition that ''momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.''
Hence, when two people who have the same mass, throw two different objects at the same velocity but the first object is heavier than the second, the first object possesses greater momentum than the second object hence the first person will gain more velocity as a result of recoil.

Answer:
the required solution is; x(t) = 0.675sin( 2.222t )
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Using both Newton's and Hooke's law;
m[tex]x^{ff[/tex] + k[tex]x[/tex] = 0, [tex]x[/tex](0) = 0, [tex]x^f[/tex](0) = 1.5
given that mass m = 9 kg
[tex]x[/tex] = 1.8 m
k is F / x
hence
k = F / x
given that, F = 80 N
we substitute
k = 80 / 1.8
k = 44.44
so
m[tex]x^{ff[/tex] + k[tex]x[/tex] = 0,
we input
9[tex]x^{ff[/tex] + 44.44[tex]x[/tex] = 0,
[tex]x^{ff[/tex] + 4.9377[tex]x[/tex] = 0
so auxiliary equation is,
r² + 4.9377 = 0
r² = -4.9377
r = √-4.9377
r = ±2.222i
hence, the solution will be;
x(t) = A×cos( 2.222t ) + B×sin( 2.222t )
⇒ [tex]x^t[/tex](t) = -2.222Asin( 2.222t ) + 2.222Bcos( 2.222t )
using initial conditions
x(0) = 0
⇒ 0 = A
[tex]x^t[/tex](t) = 1.5
1.5 = 2.222B
so
B = 1.5 / 2.222 = 0.675
Hence, the required solution is; x(t) = 0.675sin( 2.222t )

An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 105 km/h in 8.43 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact with the faux fawn for 0.635 s, after which the car is measured to be traveling at 60.0 km/h. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car before the collision?
acceleration before collision:
3.45
m/s2
What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the collision?
average acceleration during collision:
19.68
m/s2
What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the entire test, from when the car first begins moving until the collision is over?
105 km/h ≈ 29.2 m/s
60.0 km/h ≈ 16.7 m/s
Before the collision the test car has an acceleration a of
a = (29.2 m/s - 0) / (8.43 s) ≈ 3.46 m/s²
During the collision, the car is slowed to about 16.7 m/s, so that its (average) acceleration is
a = (16.7 m/s - 29.2 m/s) / (0.635 s) ≈ -19.7 m/s²
i.e. with magnitude about 19.7 m/s².
Overall, the car has an average acceleration of
a = (16.7 m/s - 0) / (8.43 s + 0.635 s) ≈ 1.84 m/s²
