Answer:
The actual height is 3.308 m.
Explanation:
The person is swimming below the water surface at distance = 0.80 m
The height of the diving board appears at a distance or height = 5.20 m
Now we have to find the actual distance of the diving board from the water surface.
We know the refractive index of water is 1.33.
Therefore, the actual height = (Distance that appears – distance below the water surface) / Refractive index.
The actual height = ( 5.20 - 0.80 ) / 1.33 = 3.308 m
Suppose you observed the equation for a traveling wave to be y(x, t) = A cos(kx − ????t), where its amplitude of oscillations was 0.15 m, its wavelength was two meters, and the period was 2/15 s. If a point on the wave at a specific time has a displacement of 0.12 m, what is the transverse speed of that point?
Answer:
15m/sExplanation:
The equation for a traveling wave as expressed as y(x, t) = A cos(kx − [tex]\omega[/tex]t) where An is the amplitude f oscillation, [tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular velocity and x is the horizontal displacement and y is the vertical displacement.
From the formula; [tex]k =\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} \ and \ \omega = 2 \pi f[/tex] where;
[tex]\lambda \ is\ the \ wavelength \ and\ f \ is\ the\ frequency[/tex]
Before we can get the transverse speed, we need to get the frequency and the wavelength.
frequency = 1/period
Given period = 2/15 s
Frequency = [tex]\frac{1}{(2/15)}[/tex]
frequency = 1 * 15/2
frequency f = 15/2 Hertz
Given wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] = 2m
Transverse speed [tex]v = f \lambda[/tex]
[tex]v = 15/2 * 2\\\\v = 30/2\\\\v = 15m/s[/tex]
Hence, the transverse speed at that point is 15m/s
In a two-slit experiment, the slit separation is 3.34 ⋅ 10 − 5 m. The interference pattern is created on a screen that is 3.30 m away from the slits. If the 7th bright fringe on the screen is 29.0 cm away from the central fringe, what is the wavelength of the light?
Answer:
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 419 \ nm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of separation is [tex]d = 3.34 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the screen is [tex]D = 3.30 \ m[/tex]
The order of the fringe is n = 7
The distance of separation of fringes is y = 29.0 cm = 0.29 m
Generally the wavelength of the light is mathematically represented as
[tex]\lambda = \frac{y * d }{ n * D}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\lambda = \frac{0.29 * 3.34*10^{-5} }{ 7 * 3.30}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 4.19*10^{-7}\ m[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 419 \ nm[/tex]
Inside the wall of a house, an L-shaped section of hot-water pipe consists of three parts: a straight, horizontal piece 28.0 cm long, an elbow, and a straight vertical piece ℓ = 159 cm long. A stud and a second-story floorboard hold the ends of this section of copper pipe stationary. Find the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the pipe elbow when the water flow is turned on, raising the temperature of the pipe from 18.0°C to 40.2°C. (The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is
Answer:
The magnitude and direction are
7.638×10-4m
80.01°
Explanation:
We know that the coefficient of linear expansion for copper = 16.6×10^-6 m/m-C
ΔT = 40.2 - 18.0 = 28.5 C°
The expansion of horizontal pipe length can be calculated as
= (0.28)(16.6×10^-6)(28.5) = 13247×10^-8
= 0.0001325 m
The expansion of vertical pipe length = (1.28)(16.6×10^-6)(28.5) = 60557×10^-8 = 0.000752229 m
horizontal displacement = 0.1325 mm
= 1.356×10^-4m
vertical displacement = 0.75223mm
=7.5223×10-4m
size of total displacement can be calculated as
√(x²+y²)
Where x and y are vertical and horizontal displacement respectively
= √(0.1325)²+(0.75223)² =
= 0.7638 mm
= 7.638×10-4m
Angle below horizontal = arctan Θ
= 0.75223/0.1325
=5.6772
= arctan (5.6772)
= 80.01°
Therefore, the the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the pipe elbow when the water flow is turned at (7.638×10-4m) 0.7638 mm and 80.01°
a person Travels along a straight road for half the distance with velocity V1 and the remaining half the distance with velocity V2 the average velocity is given by
Answer: (V1+V2)/2
Explanation: This is because basically with the question they are trying to say u(initial velocity) is V1 and v(final velocity) is V2 as the journey starts off with V1 and ends with V2 so therefore we know an equation where average velocity=(u+v)/2. So here it’s (V1+V2)/2
In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 490 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 17.5 ns . When a slab of glass with a thickness of 0.800 m is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 21.5 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell.What is the wavelength of the light in the glass? Use 3.00×108 m/s for the speed of light in a vacuum. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Answer:
196 nm
Explanation:
Given that
Value of wavelength, = 490 nm
Time spent in air, t(a) = 17.5 ns
Thickness of glass, th = 0.8 m
Time spent in glass, t(g) = 21.5 ns
Speed of light in a vacuum, c = 3*10^8 m/s
To start with, we find the difference between the two time spent
Time spent on glass - Time spent in air
21.5 - 17.5 = 4 ns
0.8/(c/n) - 0.8/c = 4 ns
Note, light travels with c/n speed in media that has index of refraction
(n - 1) * 0.8/c = 4 ns
n - 1 = (4 ns * c) / 0.8
n - 1 = (4*10^-9 * 3*10^8) / 0.8
n - 1 = 1.2/0.8
n - 1 = 1.5
n = 1.5 + 1
n = 2.5
As a result, the wavelength of light in a medium with index of refraction would then be
490 / 2.5 = 196 nm
Therefore, our answer is 196 nm

v₀ = k / m x₀
v = 4 v₀
v / v₀ = 4

You want the current amplitude through a 0.450 mH inductor (part of the circuitry for a radio receiver) to be 1.50 mA when a sinusoidal voltage with an amplitude of 13.0 V is applied across the inductor. What frequency is required?
Answer:
3.067MHzExplanation:
The formula for calculating the voltage across an inductor is expressed as
[tex]V_l = IX_l\\\\Since\ X_l = 2\pi fL\\V_l = I(2\pi fL)[/tex]
Given parameters
current amplitude I = 1.50mA = 1.5*10⁻³A
inductance L = 0.450mH = 0.450*10⁻³H
Voltage across the inductor [tex]V_l[/tex] = 13.0V
Required
frequency f
Substituting the given parametres into the formula, we have;
[tex]V_l = I(2\pi fL)\\\\13 = 1.50*10^{-3}(2*3.14*f*0.450*10^{-3})\\\\13 = 4.239*10^{-6}f\\\\f = \frac{13}{4.239*10^{-6}} \\\\f = 3,066,761 Hertz\\\\f = 3.067MHz[/tex]
Hence, the frequency required is 3.067MHz
A mass m = 0.6 kg is released from rest at the top edge of a hemispherical bowl with radius = 1.1 meters. The mass then slides without friction down the inner surface toward the bottom of the bowl. At a certain point of its path the mass achieves a speed v = 3.57 m/s. At this point, what angle \theta\:θ ( in degrees) does the mass make with the top of the bowl?
Answer:
The angle is [tex]\theta = 36.24 ^o[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass is [tex]m = 0.6 \ kg[/tex]
The radius is [tex]r = 1.1 \ m[/tex]
The speed is [tex]v = 3.57 \ m /s[/tex]
According to the law of energy conservation
The potential energy of the mass at the top is equal to the kinetic energy at the bottom i.e
[tex]m * g * h = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2[/tex]
=> [tex]h = \frac{1}{2 g } * v^2[/tex]
Here h is the vertical distance traveled by the mass which is also mathematically represented as
[tex]h = r * sin (\theta )[/tex]
So
[tex]\theta = sin ^{-1} [ \frac{1}{2* g* r } * v^2][/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\theta = sin ^{-1} [ \frac{1}{2* 9.8* 1.1 } * (3.57)^2][/tex]
[tex]\theta = 36.24 ^o[/tex]
A metal sphere A of radius a is charged to potential V. What will be its potential if it is enclosed by a spherical conducting shell B of radius b and the two are connected by a wire?
Answer:
The potential will be Va/b
Explanation:
So Let sphere A charged Q to potential V.
so, V= KQ/a. ....(1
Thus, spherical shell B is connected to the sphere A by a wire, so all charge always reside on the outer surface.
therefore, potential will be ,
V ′ = KQ/b = Va/b... That is from .....(1), KQ=Va]
A 1000 kg car experiences a net force of 9500 N while slowing down from 30 m/s to 16 m/s. How far does it travel while slowing down?
Answer:
33.89 m
Explanation:
We must first obtain the acceleration of the car from;
F=ma
Where
F= force= 9500 N
m= mass of the car= 1000kg
a= acceleration
a= F/m= 9500/1000
a= 9.5 m/s^2
From;
V^2=u^2 + 2as
Where;
V= final velocity
u= initial velocity
s= distance covered
a= acceleration
s= v^2 -u^2/2a
s= (30)^2 -(16)^2/2×9.5
s= 900 - 256/19
s= 644/19
s= 33.89 m
The distance is 33.89 m
The first step is to calculate the acceleration
F= ma
force= 9500N
mass= 1000 kg
9500= 1000 × a
a= 9500/1000
= 9.5 m/s
v²= u² + 2as
30²= 16² + 2(9.5)(s)
900= 256 + 19s
900-256= 19s
644= 19s
s= 644/19
s= 33.89 m
Hence the distance traveled by the car is 33.89 m

Answer:
The output force of the piston is 105 N.
Explanation:
Given;
the area of the input piston, A₁ = 0.5 m²
the input force of the piston, F₁ = 15 N
the area of the output piston, A₀ = 3.5 m²
the output force of the piston, F₀ = ?
The pressure of the hydraulic lift is given by;
[tex]P = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]
where;
P is the hydraulic pressure
F is the piston force
A is the area of the piston
[tex]P = \frac{F}{A} \\\\\frac{F_o}{A_o} = \frac{F_i}{A_i} \\\\F_o = \frac{F_iA_o}{A_i} \\\\F_o = \frac{15*3.5}{0.5} \\\\F_o = 105 \ N[/tex]

7. A sound wave begins traveling through a thin metal rod at one end with a speed that is 15 times the speed of sound in air. If an observer at the other end of the rod hears the sound twice, one from the sound traveling through the rod and one from the sound traveling through the air, with a time delay of 0.12 s, how long is the rod? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
Answer:
L = 44,096 m
Explanation:
The speed of the sound wave is constant therefore we can use the relations of uniform kinematics
v = x / t
the speed of the wave in the bar is
v = 15 v or
v = 15 343
v = 5145 m / s
The sound at the bar goes the distance
L = v t
Sound in the air travels the same distance
L = v_air (t + 0.12)
as the two recognize the same dissonance,
v t = v_air (t +0.12)
t (v- v_air) = 0.12 v_air
t = 0.12 v_air / (v -v_air)
l
et's calculate
t = 0.12 343 / (5145 - 343)
t = 8.57 10-3 s
The length of the bar is
L = 5145 8.57 10-3
L = 44,096 m

Light of wavelength 520 nm is used to illuminate normally two glass plates 21.1 cm in length that touch at one end and are separated at the other by a wire of radius 0.028 mm. How many bright fringes appear along the total length of the plates.
Answer:
The number is [tex]Z = 216 \ fringes[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 520 \ nm = 520 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The length of the glass plates is [tex]y = 21.1cm = 0.211 \ m[/tex]
The distance between the plates (radius of wire ) = [tex]d = 0.028 mm = 2.8 *10^{-5} \ m[/tex]
Generally the condition for constructive interference in a film is mathematically represented as
[tex]2 * t = [m + \frac{1}{2} ]\lambda[/tex]
Where t is the thickness of the separation between the glass i.e
t = 0 at the edge where the glasses are touching each other and
t = 2d at the edge where the glasses are separated by the wire
m is the order of the fringe it starts from 0, 1 , 2 ...
So
[tex]2 * 2 * d = [m + \frac{1}{2} ] 520 *10^{-9}[/tex]
=> [tex]2 * 2 * (2.8 *10^{-5}) = [m + \frac{1}{2} ] 520 *10^{-9}[/tex]
=>
[tex]m = 215[/tex]
given that we start counting m from zero
it means that the number of bright fringes that would appear is
[tex]Z = m + 1[/tex]
=> [tex]Z = 215 +1[/tex]
=> [tex]Z = 216 \ fringes[/tex]
3. El tambor de una lavadora que gira a 3 000 revoluciones por minuto (rpm) se acelera uniformemente hasta que alcanza las 6 000 rpm, completando un total de 12 revoluciones.

e. Explica lo que ocurre con la magnitud y dirección de los vectores aceleración tangencial, aceleración centrípeta, aceleración total, aceleración angular, velocidad angular cuando la lavadora ha girado desde 3000 rpm hasta 6000 rpm.
Answer:
d) α = 1693.5 rad / s² , a = 392.7 m / s² , a_total = α √(R² +1) ,
e) tan θ = a / α
Explanation:
This is an exercise in linear and angular kinematics.
We initialize reduction of all the magnitudes to the SI system
w₀ = 3000 rev / min (2π rad / 1rev) (1min / 60s) = 314.16 rad / s
w = 6000 rev / mi = 628.32 rad / s
θ = 12 rev = 12 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 75.398 rad
d) ask for centripetal, tangential and total acceleration.
Let's start by looking for centripetal acceleration, let's use the formula
w² = w₀² + 2 α θ
α = (w²- w₀²) / 2θ
we calculate
α = (628.32²2 - 314.16²) / 2 75.398
α = 1693.5 rad / s²
the quantity is linear and angular are related
the linear or tangential acceleration is
a = α R
where R is the radius of the drum
a = 1693.5 R
Unfortunately you do not give the radius of the drum for a complete calculation, but suppose it is a washing machine drum R = 20 cm = 0.20 m
a = 1693.5 0.20
a = 392.7 m / s²
the total acceleration is
a_total = √(a² + α²)
a_total = √ (α² R² + α²)
a_total = α √(R² +1)
e) The centripetal acceleration is directed towards the center of the movement is radial and its magnitude is constant
Tangential acceleration is tangency to radius and its value varies proportionally radius
the total accelracicon is the result of the vector sum of the two accelerations and their directions given by trigonometry
tan θ = a / α
the angular velocity increases linearly when with centripetal acceleration

Two blocks A and B have a weight of 11 lb and 5 lb , respectively. They are resting on the incline for which the coefficients of static friction are μA = 0.16 and μB = 0.23. Determine the incline angle θ for which both blocks begin to slide. Also find the required stretch or compression in the connecting spring for this to occur. The spring has a stiffness of k = 2.1 lb/ft .
Answer:
[tex]\theta=10.20^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta l=0.10 ft[/tex]
Explanation:
First of all, we analyze the system of blocks before starting to move.
[tex]\Sum F_{x}=P_{A}sin(\theta)+P_{B}sin(\theta)-F_{fA}-F_{fB}=0[/tex]
[tex]\Sum F_{x}=11sin(\theta)+5sin(\theta)-0.16N_{A}-0.23N_{B}=0[/tex]
[tex]11sin(\theta)+5sin(\theta)-0.16P_{A}cos(\theta)-0.23P_{B}cos(\theta)=0[/tex]
[tex]11sin(\theta)+5sin(\theta)-0.16*11cos(\theta)-0.23*5cos(\theta)=0[/tex]
[tex]11sin(\theta)+5sin(\theta)-0.16*11cos(\theta)-0.23*5cos(\theta)=0[/tex]
[tex]16sin(\theta)-2.91cos(\theta)=0[/tex]
[tex]tan(\theta)=0.18[/tex]
[tex]\theta=arctan(0.18)[/tex]
[tex]\theta=10.20^{\circ}[/tex]
Hence, the incline angle θ for which both blocks begin to slide is 10.20°.
Now, if we do a free body diagram of block A we have that after the block moves, the spring force must be taken into account.
[tex]P_{A}sin(\theta)-F_{fA}-F_{spring}=0[/tex]
Where:
[tex]F_{spring} = k\Delta l=2.1\Delta l[/tex]
[tex]P_{A}sin(\theta)-0.16*11cos(\theta)-2.1\Delta l=0[/tex]
[tex]\Delta l=\frac{11sin(\theta)-0.16*11cos(\theta)}{2.1}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta l=0.10 ft[/tex]
Therefore, the required stretch or compression in the connecting spring is 0.10 ft.
I hope it helps you!
(a) The inclined angle for which both blocks begin to slide is 10.3⁰.
(b) The compression of the spring is 0.22 ft.
The given parameters;
mass of block A, = 11 lbmass of block B, = 5 lbcoefficient of static friction for A, = 0.16coefficient of static friction for B, = 0.23 spring constant, k = 2.1 lb/ftThe normal force on block A and B:
[tex]F_n_A = m_Agcos \ \theta\\\\F_n_B = m_Bgcos \ \theta[/tex]
The frictional force on block A and B:
[tex]F_f_A = \mu_s_AF_n_A \\\\F_f_B = \mu_s_BF_n_A[/tex]
The net force on the blocks when they starts sliding;

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the width of the central bright spot on the screen change if the slit width is doubled
Answer:
y ’= y / 2
thus when the slit width is doubled the pattern width is halved
Explanation:
The diffraction of a slit is given by the expressions
a sin θ = m λ
where a is the width of the slit, λ is the wavelength and m is an integer that determines the order of diffraction.
sin θ = m λ / a
If this equation
a ’= 2 a
we substitute
2 a sin θ'= m λ
sin θ'= (m λ / a) 1/2
sin θ ’= sin θ / 2
We can use trigonometry to find the width
tan θ = y / L
as the angle is small
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
sin θ = y / L
we substitute
y ’/ L = y/L 1/2
y ’= y / 2
thus when the slit width is doubled the pattern width is halved
You perform a double‑slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. You set your slit spacing at 1.11 mm and place your screen 8.63 m from the slits. Then, you illuminate the slits with your new toy and find on the screen that the tenth bright fringe is 4.71 cm away from the central bright fringe (counted as the zeroth bright fringe). What is your laser's wavelength lambda expressed in nanometers?
Answer:
λ = 605.80 nm
Explanation:
These double-slit experiments the equation for constructive interference is
d sin θ = m λ
where d is the distance between the slits, λ the wavelength of light and m an integer that determines the order of interference.
In this case, the distance between the slits is d = 1.11 mm = 1.11 10⁻³ m, the distance to the screen is L = 8.63 m, the range number m = 10 and ay = 4.71 cm
Let's use trigonometry to find the angle
tan θ = y / L
as the angles are very small
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
we substitute
sin θ = y / L
we substitute in the first equation
d y / L = m λ
λ = d y / m L
let's calculate
λ = 1.11 10⁻³ 4.71 10⁻²/ (10 8.63)
λ = 6.05805 10⁻⁷ m
let's reduce to nm
λ = 6.05805 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)
λ = 605.80 nm
At what speed, as a fraction of c, will a moving rod have a length 65% that of an identical rod at rest
Answer:
v/c = 0.76
Explanation:
Formula for Length contraction is given by;
L = L_o(√(1 - (v²/c²))
Where;
L is the length of the object at a moving speed v
L_o is the length of the object at rest
v is the speed of the object
c is speed of light
Now, we are given; L = 65%L_o = 0.65L_o, since L_o is the length at rest.
Thus;
0.65L_o = L_o[√(1 - (v²/c²))]
Dividing both sides by L_o gives;
0.65 = √(1 - (v²/c²))
Squaring both sides, we have;
0.65² = (1 - (v²/c²))
v²/c² = 1 - 0.65²
v²/c² = 0.5775
Taking square root of both sides gives;
v/c = 0.76

A block of mass M rests on a block of mass M1 which is on a tabletop. A light string passes over a frictionless peg and connects the blocks. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and between M1 and the tabletop is the same. A force F pulls the upper block to the left and the lower block to the right. The blocks are moving at a constant speed.
Determine the mass of the upper block. (Express your answer to three significant figures.)
Answer:
M = F/3μ g - M₁/3
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we must use the equilibrium conditions translations
∑ F = 0
In the attachment we can see a free body diagram of each block
Block M (upper)
X axis
fr₁ + F₂ -F = 0
F = fr₁ + F₂ (1)
axis
N₁-W = 0
N₁ = Mg
the friction force has the formula
fr₁ = μ N₁
F = μ Mg + F₂
bottom block
X axis
F₂ - fr₁ - fr₂ = 0
F₂ = fr₁ + fr₂
Y axis
N - W₁ -W = 0
N = g (M + M₁)
we substitute
F₂ = μ Mg + μ (M + M1) g
F₂ = μ g (2M + M₁)
we substitute in 1
F = μ M g + μ g (2M + M₁)
F = μ g (3M + M₁)
we look for mass M
M = (F - μ g M₁)/ 3μ g
M = F/3μ g - M₁/3
the exercise does not have numerical data
