Answer:
10m
Explanation:
Since Given frequency f= 1/t
and velocity ν=10 m/s
We know ν=λf
λ= ν/f
= 10/1/0.5
=5m
Since both the waves are similar but moves in opposite direction its total wavelength of the wave will be 10 m

A single slit is illuminated by light of wavelengths λa and λb, chosen so that the first diffraction minimum of the λa component coincides with the second minimum of the λb component. (a) If λb = 350 nm, what is λa? For what order number mb (if any) does a minimum of the λb component coincide with the minimum of the λa component in the order number
Answer:
λ_A = 700 nm , m_B = m_a 2
Explanation:
The expression that describes the diffraction phenomenon is
a sin θ = m λ
where a is the width of the slit, lam the wavelength and m an integer that writes the order of diffraction
a) They tell us that now lal_ A m = 1
a sin θ = λ_A
coincidentally_be m = 2
a sin θ = m λ_b
as the two match we can match
λ _A = 2 λ _B
λ_A = 2 350 nm
λ_A = 700 nm
b)
For lam_B
a sin λ_A = m_B λ_B
For lam_A
a sin θ_A = m_ λ_ A
to match they must have the same angle, so we can equal
m_B λ_B = m_A λ_A
m_B = m_A λ_A / λ_B
m_b = m_a 700/350
m_B = m_a 2
A man using a 70kg garden roller on a level surface, exerts a force of 200N at 45 degrees to the ground. find the vertical force of the roller on the ground if,
i.he pulls
ii.he pushes the roller
Answer:
i) 545.2 N upwards
ii) 828.2 N downwards
Explanation:
mass of the roller = 70 kg
force exerted = 200 N
angle the force makes with the ground ∅ = 45°
weight of the roller W = mg
where
m is the mass of the roller
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
weight of the roller = 70 x 9.81 = 686.7 N
The effective vertical force exerted by the man = F sin ∅ = 200 x sin 45°
==> F = 200 x 0.707 = 141.5 N
i) if the man pulls, then the exerted force will be in opposite direction to the weight of the roller vertically upwards
Resultant vertical force = 686.7 N - 141.5 N = 545.2 N upwards
ii) if he pushes, then the exerted force will be in the direction of the weight vertically downwards
Resultant vertical force = 686.7 N + 141.5 N = 828.2 N downwards
5. The speed of a transverse wave on a string is 170 m/s when the string tension is 120 ????. To what value must the tension be changed to raise the wave speed to 180 m/s?
Answer:
The tension on string when the speed was raised is 134.53 N
Explanation:
Given;
Tension on the string, T = 120 N
initial speed of the transverse wave, v₁ = 170 m/s
final speed of the transverse wave, v₂ = 180 m/s
The speed of the wave is given as;
[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }[/tex]
where;
μ is mass per unit length
[tex]v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\\mu = \frac{T}{v^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{v_1^2} = \frac{T_2}{v_2^2}[/tex]
The final tension T₂ will be calculated as;
[tex]T_2 = \frac{T_1 v_2^2}{v_1^2} \\\\T_2 = \frac{120*180^2}{170^2} \\\\T_2 = 134.53 \ N[/tex]
Therefore, the tension on string when the speed was raised is 134.53 N
A 10kg block with an initial velocity of 10 m/s slides 1o m across a horizontal surface and comes to rest. it takes the block 2 seconds to stop. The stopping force acting on the block is about
Answer:
-50N
Explanation:
F=ma=m(Vf-Vi)/t
m=10kgVf=0m/sVi=10m/st=2sF=(10)(-10)/(2)=-50N
So the force acting on the block is -50N, where the negative sign simply tells us that the force is opposite to the direction of movement.

Three capacitors C1 = 10.7 µF, C2 = 23.0 µF, and C3 = 29.3 µF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.
Answer:
E = 1336.71875 J
Explanation:
We are given;. Capacitance of Capacitor 1; C1 = 10.7 µF
Capacitor 2; C2 = 23.0 µF
Capacitor 3; C3 = 29.3 µF
Supply voltage;V = 125 V
Formula for capacitance in series is;
Capacitors in series circuit: C(eq) = 1/C(1) +1/C(2) +1/C(3) .......
Thus, equivalent capacitance is;
C(eq) = (1/10.7) + (1/23) + (1/29.3) = 0.1711 µF = 0.1711 × 10^(6) F
Now, the formula for maximum energy stored is;
E = ½ × C(eq) × V²
E = ½ × 0.1711 × 10^(-6) × 125²
E = 1336.71875 J

A spring with spring constant 15 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is then pulled down 6.0 cm and released. If the ball makes 30 oscillations in 20 s, what are its (a) mass and (b) maximum speed?
Answer:
a
[tex]m = 0.169 \ kg[/tex]
b
[tex]|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The spring constant is [tex]k = 14 \ N/m[/tex]
The maximum extension of the spring is [tex]A = 6.0 \ cm = 0.06 \ m[/tex]
The number of oscillation is [tex]n = 30[/tex]
The time taken is [tex]t = 20 \ s[/tex]
Generally the the angular speed of this oscillations is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}[/tex]
where T is the period which is mathematically represented as
[tex]T = \frac{t}{n}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]T = \frac{20}{30 }[/tex]
[tex]T = 0.667 \ s[/tex]
Thus
[tex]w = \frac{2 * 3.142 }{ 0.667}[/tex]
[tex]w = 9.421 \ rad/s[/tex]
this angular speed can also be represented mathematically as
[tex]w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]
=> [tex]m =\frac{k }{w^2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]m =\frac{ 15 }{(9.421)^2}[/tex]
[tex]m = 0.169 \ kg[/tex]
In SHM (simple harmonic motion )the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as
[tex]v = - Awsin (wt)[/tex]
The velocity is maximum when [tex]wt = \(90^o) \ or \ 1.5708\ rad[/tex]
[tex]v_{max} = - A* w[/tex]
=> [tex]|v_{max} |= A* w[/tex]
=> [tex]|v_{max} |= 0.06 * 9.421[/tex]
=> [tex]|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s[/tex]
Which best identifies the requirements for work to be performed? an object that has a force acting on it an object that is moving and has no net force a force acting on a motionless object a force that moves an object
Answer:
a force that moves an object
Explanation:
the formula for work is force * distance
This question involves the concepts of work, force, and displacement.
The statement that best identifies the requirements for work to be performed is "a force that moves an object".
Work is defined as the product of force applied on an object and the distance moved by the object. Mathematically,
Work = (Force)(Displacement)
Hence, both the applied force and the displacement of the object as a result of the application of the force is necessary for the work to be done. If any one of these values becomes zero, the work automatically becomes zero, which means no work is performed.

Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the current flowing in each branch of the circuit. Who is correct?
Answer: Only Tech B is correct.
Explanation:
First, tech A is wrong.
The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.
Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.
In a double-slit experiment using light of wavelength 486 nm, the slit spacing is 0.600 mm and the screen is 2.00 m from the slits. Find the distance along the screen between adjacent bright fringes.
Answer:
The distance is [tex]y = 0.00162 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 486 \ nm = 486 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The slit spacing is [tex]d = 0.600 \ mm = 0.60 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the screen is [tex]D = 2.0 \ m[/tex]
Generally the distance along the screen between adjacent bright fringes is mathematically represented as

An inductor is hooked up to an AC voltage source. The voltage source has EMF V0 and frequency f. The current amplitude in the inductor is I0.
Part A
What is the reactance XL of the inductor?
Express your answer in terms of V0 and I0.
Part B
What is the inductance L of the inductor?
Express your answer in terms of V0, f, and I0.
Answer:
a. The reactance of the inductor is XL = V₀/I₀
b. The inductance of the inductor is L = V₀/2πfI₀
Explanation:
PART A
Since the voltage across the inductor V₀ = I₀XL where V₀ = e.m.f of voltage source, I₀ = current amplitude and XL = reactance of the inductor,
XL = V₀/I₀
So, the reactance of the inductor is XL = V₀/I₀
PART B
The inductance of the inductor is gotten from XL = 2πfL where f = frequency of voltage source and L = inductance of inductor
Since XL = V₀/I₀ = 2πfL
V₀/I₀ = 2πfL
L = V₀/2πfI₀
So the inductance of the inductor is L = V₀/2πfI₀
A) The reactance XL of the inductor : [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{I_{0} }[/tex]
B) The Inductance L of the inductor : [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{2\pi fl_{0} }[/tex]
A) Expressing the Reactance of the inductor
Voltage across the Inductor = V₀ = I₀XL ---- ( 1 )
Where : V₀ = emf voltage , I₀ = current
from equation ( 1 )
∴ XL ( reactance ) = [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{I_{0} }[/tex]
B ) Expressing the Inductance of the Inductor
Inductance of an inductor is expressed as : XL = 2πfL
from part A
XL = [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{I_{0} }[/tex] = 2πfL
∴ The inductance L of the Inductor expressed in terms of V₀, F and I₀
L = [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{2\pi fl_{0} }[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that The reactance XL of the inductor : [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{I_{0} }[/tex] and The Inductance L of the inductor : [tex]\frac{V_{0} }{2\pi fl_{0} }[/tex] .

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. Its speed is 26 m/s when it reaches ground level. What was its speed when its height was half that of its starting point?
Answer:
The velocity is [tex]v_h = 19.2 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The speed of the roller coaster at ground level is [tex]v = 26 \ m/s[/tex]
Generally we can define the roller coaster speed at ground level using the an equation of motion as
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 g s[/tex]
u is zero given that the roller coaster started from rest
So
[tex]26^2 = 0 + 2 * g * s[/tex]
So
[tex]s = \frac{26^2}{ 2 * g }[/tex]
=> [tex]s = 37.6 \ m[/tex]
Now the displacement half way is mathematically represented as
[tex]s_{h} = \frac{37.6}{2}[/tex]
[tex]s_{h} = 18.8 \ m[/tex]
So
[tex]v_h ^2 = u^2 + 2 * g * s_h[/tex]
Where [tex]v_h[/tex] is the velocity at the half way point
=> [tex]v_h = \sqrt{ 0 + 2 * 9.8 * 18.8 }[/tex]
=> [tex]v_h = 19.2 \ m/s[/tex]

A = πr²
A = 3.142 x (0.25)²
A = 0.1964 m²
The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the loop is given by;
Ф = BA
Where;
B is the magnitude of the magnetic field
A is area of the field
Ф = 0.5 x 0.1964

The entropy of any substance at any temperature above absolute zero is called the: Select the correct answer below:
a. absolute entropy
b. Third Law entropy
c. standard entropy
d. free entropy
e. none of the above
Answer:
b. Third Law entropy
Explanation:
Third law entropy: In physics, the term "third law entropy" or "the third law of thermodynamics" states that the specific entropy of a particular system at "absolute zero" is considered as a "well-defined constant". It occurs because any system at "zero temperature" tends to exists or persists in its "ground state" in order for the entropy to be determined or described only by the "degeneracy" of the given ground state.
In the question above, the correct answer is option b.

Unpolarized light is passed through three successive Polaroid filters, each with its transmission axis at 45.0° to the preceding filter. What percentage of light gets through?
Answer:
The percentage is [tex]k = 12.5 \%[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The axis is is at [tex]\theta = 45 ^o[/tex]
Generally the of intensity light emerging from the first polarizer is mathematically represented as
[tex]I_{1} = \frac{I_o}{ 2}[/tex]
Where [tex]I_o[/tex] is the intensity of unpolarized light
Now the light emerging from the second polarizer is mathematically represented as
[tex]I_2 = I_ 1 * cos ^2(\theta )[/tex]
[tex]I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} * cos ^2(45 )[/tex]
[tex]I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{I_o}{4}[/tex]
Now the light emerging from the third polarizer is mathematically represented as
[tex]I_3 = I_ 2 * cos ^2(\theta )[/tex]
[tex]I_3 = \frac{I_o}{4} * cos ^2(45 )[/tex]
[tex]I_3 = \frac{I_o}{8}[/tex]
Now the percentage of the intensity of light that emerged with respect to the intensity of the unpolarized light is
[tex]k = \frac{\frac{I_o}{8} }{I_o } * 100[/tex]
[tex]k = 12.5 \%[/tex]
The percentage of light that gets through the three successive Polaroid filters is; 12.5%
We are given;
Angle of transmission axis; θ = 45°
Formula for intensity of light from first polarizer is;
I₁ = ¹/₂I₀
Formula for intensity of light from second polarizer is;
I₂ = I₁cos²θ
Formula for intensity of light from third polarizer is;
I₃ = I₂cos²(90 - θ)
Combining the 3 equations;
Put ¹/₂I₀ for I₁ in second formula to get;
I₂ = ¹/₂I₀cos²θ
Put ¹/₂I₀cos²θ for I₂ in third formula to get;
I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²θ*cos²(90 - θ)
Plugging in 45° for θ gives;
I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²45*cos²(90 - 45)
⇒ I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos²45*cos²45
⇒ I₃ = ¹/₂I₀cos⁴45
Now, cos 45 in surd form is 1/√2. Thus;
I₃ = ¹/₂I₀(1/√2)⁴
I₃ = ¹/₂I₀(¹/₄)
I₃ = ¹/₈I₀
I₃/I₀ = ¹/₈
I₃/I₀ = 0.125
In percentage form, we have;
I₃/I₀ = 12.5%

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and hang a 1.8 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 5.1 cm . You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.3 cm .
Requried:
What is the magnitude of the charge (in nC) on each bead?
Answer:
2.2nC
Explanation:
Call the amount by which the spring’s unstretched length L,
the amount it stretches while hanging x1
and the amount it stretches while on the table x2.
Combining Hooke’s law with Newton’s second law, given that the stretched spring is not accelerating,
we have mg−kx1 =0, or k = mg /x1 , where k is the spring constant. On the other hand,
applying Coulomb’s law to the second part tells us ke q2/ (L+x2)2 − kx2 = 0 or q2 = kx2(L+x2)2/ke,
where ke is the Coulomb constant. Combining these,
we get q = √(mgx2(L+x2)²/x1ke =2.2nC

3. Let the slits have a width 0.310 mm . In terms of the intensity I0 at the center of the central maximum, what is the intensity at the angular position of θ1?
4. What is the intensity at the angular position of θ2?
Answer:
1) θ = 0.00118 rad, 2) θ = 0.00236 rad , 3) I / I₀ = 0.1738, 4) I / Io = 0.216
Explanation:
In the double-slit interference phenomenon it is explained for constructive interference by the equation
d sin θ = m λ
1) the first order maximum occurs for m = 1
sin θ = λ / d
θ = sin⁻¹ λ / d
let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
λ = 520 nm = 520 10⁻⁹ θ = 0.00118 radm
d = 0.440 mm = 0.440 10⁻³ m ³
let's calculate
θ = sin⁻¹ (520 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)
θ = sin⁻¹ (1.18 10⁻³)
θ = 0.00118 rad
2) the second order maximum occurs for m = 2
θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)
θ = sin⁻¹ (2 5¹20 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)
θ = 0.00236 rad
3) To calculate the intensity of the interference spectrum, the diffraction phenomenon must be included, so the equation remains
I = I₀ cos² (π d sin θ /λ ) sinc² (pi b sin θ /λ )
where the function sinc = sin x / x
and b is the width of the slits
we caption the values
x = π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹)
x = 2.21
I / I₀ = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin (2.21) /2.21)²
remember angles are in radians
I / I₀ = cos² (3.0945) [0.363] 2
I / I₀ = 0.9978 0.1318
I / I₀ = 0.1738
4) the maximum second intensity is
I / I₀ = cos² (π d sinθ / λ) sinc² (πb sin θ /λ)
x =π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹)
x = 4.41
I / Io = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin 4.41 / 4.41)²
I / Io = cos² 6.273 0.216
I / Io = 0.216

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long. How long is the other pipe?
Answer:
The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m
Explanation:
Given that:
Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.
How long is the other pipe?
From above;
The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:
[tex]f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}[/tex]
where n = 1 ( since half wavelength exist between those two pipes)
v = 343 m/s and L = 2.08 m
Thus, the shorter pipe produces a frequency of :
[tex]f = \dfrac{1*343}{2*2.08}[/tex]
[tex]f = \dfrac{343}{4.16}[/tex]
[tex]f =82.45 \ Hz[/tex]
Also; we know that the beat frequency was given as 8.0 Hz
Then,
The lower frequency of the longer pipe = ( 82.45 - 8.0 )Hz
The lower frequency of the longer pipe = 74.45 Hz
Finally;
From the above equation; make Length L the subject of the formula. Then,
The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{nv}{2f}[/tex]
The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{1*343}{2*74.45}[/tex]
The length of the longer pipe is L = [tex]\dfrac{343}{148.9}[/tex]
The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m
Consider two isolated spherical conductors each having net charge Q. The spheres have radii a and b, where b > a.
Which sphere has the higher potential?
1. the sphere of radius a
2. the sphere of radius b
3. They have the same potential
Answer:
1. the sphere of the radius a
Explanation:
Because the charge distribution for each case is spherically symmetric, we can choose a spher- ical Gaussian surface of radius r , concentric with the sphere in question.
So E = k (Q /r 2) (for r ≥ R ) , where R is the radius of the sphere being considered, either a or b .
With the choice of potential at r = ∞ being zero, the electric potential at any distance r from the center of the sphere can be expressed as V = - integraldisplay r ∞ E dr = k /Q r
(for r ≥ R ) .
On the spheres of radii a and b , we have V a = k (Q/ a)and V b = k (Q/ b), respectively.
So Since b > a , the sphere of radius a will have the higher potential.
Also recall Because E = 0 inside a conductor, the potential
A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. The skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 960kg . Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.
Answer:
602.27 kg
Explanation:
The computation of the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift is shown below:-
Volume of helium inside the ballon= (4 ÷ 3) × π × r^3
= (4 ÷ 3) × 3.14 × 6.953
= 1406.19 m3
Mass the balloon can carry = volume × (density of air-density of helium)
= 1406.19 × (1.29-0.179)
= 1562.27 kg
Mass of cargo it can carry = Mass it can carry - Mass of structure
= 1562.27 - 960
= 602.27 kg
