A total charge of 9.0 mC passes through a cross-sectional area of a nichrome wire in 3.6s. The number of electrons passing through the cross-sectional area in 10s is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 1.56 x 10¹⁷ electrons

Explanation:

First of all, we will calculate the current passing through wire:

[tex]I = \frac{q}{t}[/tex]

where,

I = current = ?

q = charge = 9 mC = 0.009 C

t = time = 3.6 s

Therefore,

[tex]I = \frac{0.009\ C}{3.6\ s}\\\\I = 0.0025\ A = 2.5\ mA[/tex]

Now, for the same current in 10 s time the charge will be:

q = It = (0.0025 A)(10 s)

q = 0.025 C

Now, the number of electrons can be given as:

[tex]q = ne\\\\n = \frac{q}{e}\\\\[/tex]

where,

n = no. of electrons = ?

q = charge = 0.025 C

e = charge on single electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

[tex]n = \frac{0.025\ C}{1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C}[/tex]

n = 1.56 x 10¹⁷ electrons

A 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 25.0 N/m. The block rests on a frictionless surface. A 5.70×10−2-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 8.99 m/s and bounced with the same speed of 8.99 m/s in opposite direction. How far does the block compresses the spring?

Answers

The total momentum of the block and putty prior to their collision is

(0.454 kg) (0 m/s) + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (8.99 m/s) ≈ 0.512 kg•m/s

and the total momentum after the collision is

(0.454 kg) v + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (-8.99 m/s)

where v is the velocity of the block. Momentum is conserved, so

(0.454 kg) v + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (-8.99 m/s) = 0.512 kg•m/s

==>   v ≈ 2.26 m/s

The total work done on the block by the spring as it gets compressed by a distance x is equal to the change in the block's kinetic energy:

1/2 (25.0 N/m) x ² = 1/2 (0.454 kg) (2.26 m/s) - 0

==>   x ≈ 0.202 m ≈ 20.2 cm

In which mode of heat transfer is the convection heat transfer coefficient usually higher, natural convection or forced convection?why?​

Answers

According to me ,in contrast, this process is accelerated by a fan (or other means) in a forced convection process. Thus, the heat is transferred much faster. This means that the increase in temperature is also much faster, and thus the higher heat transfer coefficient for forced convection.
The convection heat transfer coefficient will usually be higher in forced convection since heat transfer coefficient depends on the fluid velocity, and forced convection involves higher fluid velocities. Heat transferred between the electric burner of a stove and the bottom of a pan is transferred by conduction. Convection is the heat transfer by the macroscopic movement of a fluid. This type of transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and in weather systems, for example.

Coherent light with wavelength 591 nm passes through two very narrow slits, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen a distance of 3.00 m from the slits. The first-order bright fringe is a distance of 4.84 mm from the center of the central bright fringe. For what wavelength of light will the first-order dark fringe be observed at this same point on the screen?

Answers

Answer:

The wavelength will be "1.182 μm".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Wavelength

[tex]\lambda=591 \ nm[/tex]

or,

  [tex]=591\times 10^-9 \ m[/tex]

Distance,

[tex]d = 3.00 m[/tex]

[tex]n = 1[/tex]

Distance of fringe from center,

[tex]y = 4.84 \ mm[/tex]

We have to find the wavelength of first order dark fringe,

[tex]\lambda = ?[/tex]

As we know,

⇒ [tex]y_{bright} =\frac{1\times \lambda\times L}{d}[/tex]

On putting the given values in the formula, we get

   [tex]0.00484=\frac{1\times (591\times 10^{-9})\times 3}{d}[/tex]          

On applying the cross multiplication, we get

   [tex]\lambda = \frac{0.00484\times 000036632}{0.5\times 3}[/tex]

      [tex]=1182\times 10^{-9}[/tex]

Jasmine plays a note of wavelength 22 cm on her clarinet. The speed of
sound in air is 340 m/s. What is the frequency of this note? Give your
answer to 3 significant figures.​

Answers

Answer:

Frequency = 1,550Hz

Explanation:

To solve this we can use the equation: [tex]f=\frac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]

(frequency = velocity/wavelength).

We are given the information that the wavelength is 22cm and the speed is 340m/s. The first step is to make sure everything is in the correct units (SI units), and to convert them if needed. The SI Units for velocity and wavelength are m/s and m respectively. This means we need to convert 22cm into meters, which we can do by dividing by 100, (as there are 100cm in a meter). 22/100 = 0.22m

Now we can substitute these values into the formula and calculate to solve:

[tex]f=\frac{340}{0.22} \\\\f=1545.454...[/tex]

Simplify to 3 significant figures:

f = 1,550Hz

(Which I believe is just below a G6 if you were interested)

A total charge of 9.0 mC passes through a cross-sectional area of a nichrome wire in 3.6s. The number of electrons passing through the cross-sectional area in 10s is

Answers

Answer:

[tex]n=1.56\times 10^{17}[/tex] electrons

Explanation:

Given that,

Total charge = 9 mC = 0.009 C

0.009 C of charge passes through a wire in 3.6 s.

Let q' is the charge that passes through it in 10 s.

So,

[tex]\dfrac{0.009 }{3.6}=\dfrac{q'}{10}\\\\q'=\dfrac{0.009 \times 10}{3.6}\\\\q'=0.025\ C[/tex]

We know that,

q = ne

n is the number of electrons

So,

[tex]n=\dfrac{q}{e}\\\\n=\dfrac{0.025}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\\n=1.56\times 10^{17}[/tex]

So, [tex]1.56\times 10^{17}[/tex]electrons must pass through the cross-sectional area.

Explanation:

In addition to producing images, ultrasound can be used to heat tissues of the body for therapeutic purposes. An emitter is placed against the surface of the skin; the amplitude of the ultrasound wave at this point is quite large. When a sound wave hits the boundary between soft tissue and bone, most of the energy is reflected. The boundary acts like the closed end of a tube which can lead to standing waves. Suppose 0.7 MHz ultrasound is directed through a layer of tissue at a bone 0.55 cm below the surface. Remember, sound waves in the body travel at 1540 m/s. Explain.

Answers

Answer:

ΔT = 4.058 10²⁰ [tex]\frac{S_o^2}{r^2 \ c_e}[/tex]

Explanation:

In this experiment the system can be approximated as a tube with one end open and the other closed.

The open end is where the ultrasound emitter is and the closed end where the limit between the tissue and the bone is, the length of the tube is L = 0.55 cm = 5.5 10⁻³ m

a node is formed at the closed end and a belly at the open end, so the resonance has the form

             λ = 4L                    1st harmonic

             λ = 4/3 L                third harmonic

             λ = 4/5 L                fifth harmonic

             λ = 4L / (2n + 1)     n = 0, 1, 2, (2n + 1)

This wave is a standing wave therefore energy density remains in place

                P = 1/2 ρ v (w S₀)²

                 

angular velocity is related to frequency

               w = 2π f

we substitute

                E = P = 2π² ρ v f² S₀²

if this energy per unit area is transformed into heat

                E = m c_e DT

let's use the concept of density

                ρ = m / V

                m = ρ V

if there are no losses in the system

       ½ π² ρ v f² S₀² = ρ V c_e ΔT

       ΔT = [tex]\frac{\pi ^2 \ v \f^2 S_o^2}{2V \ c_e}[/tex]

When analyzing this expression the temperature increase is

* quadratic at the frequency and maximum amplitude of the wave

* proportional to the speed of the wave in the tissue

* inversely proportional to tissue volume

       

we can approximate the volume of the tissue to the volume of a cylinder tube

            V = π r² L

             

           ΔT = [tex]\frac{\pi \ v \ f^2 S_o^2 }{r^2 \ L \ c_e}[/tex]

           

we calculate

            ΔT = π 1450 (0.7 10⁶)² S₀² /( r² 5.5 10-3 c_e)

            ΔT = 4.058 10²⁰ [tex]\frac{S_o^2}{r^2 \ c_e}[/tex]

            a sin θ = m λ

           

the first zero occurs when m = 1

let's use trigonometry to find the angle

          tan θ = y / L

           

as in these experiments the angles are very small

          tan θ = sin θ /cos θ = sin θ

          sin θ = y / L

we substitute

          a y /L = λ

In the case of circular aperture the system must be solved in polar coordinates, for which a numerical constant is introduced

           a y / L = 1.22 λ

           L = a y / 1.22 λ

We search the magnitudes to the SI system

           a = 1.04 cm = 1.04 10⁻² m

           y = 9.09 10⁻⁶ m

           λ = 562 10⁻⁹ m

let's calculate

           L = [tex]\frac{1.04 \ 10^{-2} \ 9.09 \ 10^{-6} }{1.22 \ 562 \ 10^{-9} }[/tex]

           L = 1.379 10⁻¹ m

The overall effect is that of amirror with focal length 5.0 cm. What is the index of refraction of the lens material

Answers

Answer:

n = 1.4

Explanation:

Given,

R1 = 18 cm, R2 = -18 cm

From lens makers formula

1/f = (n - 1)(1/18 + 1/18) = (n-1)/9

f = 9/(n-1)

Power, P = 1/f ( in m) = (n-1)/0.09

Now, this lens is in with conjunction with a concave mirror which then can be thought of as to be in conjunction with another thin lens

Power of concave mirror = P' = 1/f ( in m) = 2/R = 2/0.18 = 1/0.09

Net power of the combination = 2P + P' = 2(n-1)/0.09 + 1/0.09 = 1/0.05

n = 1.4

Answers

Answer:

density of the seawater, ρ = 1,015 kg/m³

standard sea level pressure, P₀ = 1.0 atm = 101,325 Pa

the final reading of her pressure, P₁ = 3.75 atm = 379968.75 Pa

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Let the depth she was diving at the final pressure = h

This depth is calculated as;

P₁ = P₀  +  ρgh

P₁ - P₀ =  ρgh

[tex]h = \frac{ P_1 \ - \ P_o}{\rho g} = \frac{379968.75 \ - \ 101325}{1015 \ \times \ 9.8} = 28.01 \ m[/tex]

For a damped oscillator with a mass of 360 g, a spring constant 130 N/m and a damping coefficient of 86 g/s, what is the ratio of the amplitude of the damped oscillations to the initial amplitude at the end of 11 cycles

Answers

Answer:

A/A₀ = 0.5106

Explanation:

To do this, we need to use several formulas and expressions. First, we need to know the period of time of the oscillator. This can be calculated using the following expression:

ω = 2π/T   (1)

But angular frequency (ω) can be also be calculated using:

ω = √(k/m)   (2)

Using (1) and (2), we can solve for the period T:

2π/T = √(k/m)    (mass in kg)

2π/T = √(130/0.360)

2π/T = √361.11

2π/T = 19.003

T = 2π/19.003 = 0.331 s

Now, the amplitude A at a time t, is:

A = x exp(-bt/2m)    (3)

At time 0, A = x. so A₀ = x

The problem states that we have 11 cycles respect to the initial amplitude, so expression (3) can be rewritten as:

A = x exp(-b(17t/2m))     using b as kg/s = 0.086 kg/s

Replacing the data we have:

A = x exp(-0.086(17*0.331)/2*0.36)

A = x exp(-0.086 * 7.815)

A = x exp(-0.6721)

A = 0.5106x    (4)

Now, doing the ratio with the innitial we have:

A / A₀ = 0.5106x / x

The ratio is:

A/A₀ = 0.5106

3) P.E = 80 x 9.8 x 200 = 156,800 joules

Answer:

[tex]1)\:392\:\text{J}\:(400\:\text{J with one significant figure)},\\2)\:625,000\:\text{J}\:(600,000\:\text{J with one significant figure)},\\3)\:156,800\:\text{J}\:(200,000\:\text{J with one significant figure)},[/tex]

Explanation:

1. The potential energy of an object is given by [tex]PE=mgh[/tex]. Substituting given values, we have:

[tex]PE=2\cdot 9.8\cdot 20=\boxed{392\:\text{J}}[/tex]

2. The kinetic energy of an object is given by [tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]. Substituting given values, we have:

[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2000\cdot 25^2 =\boxed{625,000\: \text{J}}[/tex]

3. 1. The potential energy of an object is given by [tex]PE=mgh[/tex]. Substituting given values, we have:

[tex]PE=80\cdot 9.8\cdot 200=\boxed{156,800\:\text{J}}[/tex]

While scuba diving, you have injured yourself and must signal the boat on the surface for help. As you always do when diving, you have five laser pointers with you, each emitting light of a different color: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. When you shine the yellow light up toward the boat, the beam makes such a small angle with the surface of the water that all the light is reflected back into the water.

Required:
a. If you are not able to move closer to the boat, which color or colors of light might you try?
b. Are these other lights likely to be successful in penetrating the surface of the water?

Answers

Answer:

a. Red and Orange

b. Yes, they are

Explanation:

a. This is because, since the yellow light is reflected back into the water, it undergoes total internal reflection and its wavelength in water is not long enough to allow it penetrate the water surface. Since the wavelength decreases from left to right, both the green and blue light have shorter wavelength than the yellow light, so they get reflected back. The red and orange lights are more likely to penetrate since they have longer wavelengths than the yellow light.

b. This is because the red and orange light have longer wavelengths and are thus more likely to penetrate the water surface and not get reflected back.
