Part E Now convert the time from seconds to years. This value is the approximate age of the universe. Write the age in scientific notation. Use the conversion, 1 year = 3.154 × 107 seconds.

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

The age of the universe is 13.8 billion years.

We know that,

1 billion years = 10⁹ years

So,

[tex]13.8\ \text{billion years}=13.8\times 10^9\ \text{years}[/tex]

We need to convert the age of the universe to the scientific notation.

Since, [tex]1\ \text{year}=3.154\times 10^7\ s[/tex]

So,

[tex]13.8\times 10^9\ \text{years}=13.8\times 10^9\times 3.154 \times 10^7\\\\=4.35\times 10^{17}\ s[/tex]

So, the age of the universe is [tex]4.35\times 10^{17}\ s[/tex].

On a horizontal frictionless surface a mass M is attached to two light elastic strings both having length l and both made of the same material. The mass is displaced by a small displacement Δy such that equal tensions T exist in the two strings, as shown in the figure. The mass is released and begins to oscillate back and forth. Assume that the displacement is small enough so that the tensions do not change appreciably. (a) Show that the restoring force on the mass can be given by F = -(2T∆y)/l (for small angles) (b) Derive an expression for the frequency of oscillation.

Answers

Answer:

(a) By small angle approximation, we have;

F = -2×T×Δy/l

(b) [tex]The \ frequency \ of \ oscillation, \ f = \dfrac{1}{2\cdot \pi }\cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot T}{l \cdot M} }[/tex]

Explanation:

(a) The diagram shows the mass, M, being restored by two equal tension, T acting on the elastic strings l, such the restoring force, F acts along the path of motion of the mass, with distance Δy

Therefore, the component of the tension T that form part of the restoring force is given as follows;

Let the angle between the line representing the extension of the elastic strings T and the initial position of the string = ∅

Then we have;

String force, [tex]F_{string}[/tex] = T×sin∅ + T×cos∅ + T×sin∅ - T×cos∅  = 2×T×sin∅

Whereby the angle is small, we have;

sin∅ ≈ tan∅ = Δy/l

Which gives;

[tex]F_{string}[/tex] = 2×T×sin∅ = 2×T×Δy/l (for small angles)

Restoring force F = [tex]-F_{string}[/tex] = -2×T×Δy/l

F = -2×T×Δy/l

(b) Given that the the tensions do not change appreciably as the mass, M, oscillates from Δy we have;

By Hooke's law, F = -k×x

Whereby Δy corresponds to the maximum displacement of the mass, M from the rest position, which gives;

Which gives;

F = M×a = -k×Δy

a =  -k×Δy/M

d²(Δy)/dt² =  -k×Δy/M

When we put angular frequency as follows;

ω² = k/M

We get;

d²(Δy)/dt² =  -ω²×Δy

Which gives;

Δy(t) = A×cos(ωt + Ф)

The angular frequency is thus, ω = √(k/M)

Period of oscillation = 2·π/ω = 2·π/√(k/M)

The frequency of oscillation, f = 1/T = √(k/M)/(2·π)

Where:

k = 2·T/l, we have;

f = √(k/M)/(2·π) = √(2·T/l)/m)/(2·π)

The frequency of oscillation is given as follows;

[tex]f = \dfrac{1}{2\cdot \pi }\cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot T}{l \cdot M} }[/tex]



During a collision with another car, the occupants of a minivan initially travelling at 4.0 m/s come to a complete stop in 0.5 s. What was the acceleration of the occupants of the minivan?



a) 8.0 m/s2



b) –8.0 m/s2



c) 2.0 m/s2



d) –2.0 m/s2

Answers

Answer: b) - 8.0 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]

Explanation: Acceleration is a vector indicating a rate an object's velocity changes over time:

a = [tex]\frac{v}{t}[/tex]

and its SI unit is [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]

For the minivan to stop, it takes a period of 0.5s:

a = [tex]\frac{4.0}{0.5}[/tex]

a = 8.0 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]

As a vector, acceleration has magnitude (8[tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]) and direction. Since it is stopping, the minivan has a direction opposite to the other car, which means acceleration is negative. So: a = [tex]- 8.0 m/s^{2}[/tex].

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is bound to occur when light travels from dense medium to less dense.

From the table given in the question above, we obtained:

Refractive Index of Crown glass = 1.52

Refractive Index of Asphalt = 1.635

From the above, Crown glass has a lower refractive index when compared to Asphalt. This means that Crown glass is less dense than Asphalt.

Therefore, total internal reflection will not occur when light travels from Crown glass to Asphalt because Crown glass is less dense than Asphalt.

2. Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.

Answers

Answer:

1) a    α,  m   I,  W=F.d    W =τ . θ,

2)  a = v²/r

Explanation:

1) The amounts of rotational and translational motion are related

acceleration is

        a = d²x / dt²

    linear displacement is equivalent to angular rotation, therefore angular acceleration is

      α = d²θ / dt²

force in linear motion is equivalent to moment in endowment motion

       F = m a

       τ = I α

the mass is the inertia of the translation, in rotational motion the moment of inertia is the rotational inertia

          I = m r²

Work is defined by W = F. d

in rotation it is defined by W = τ . θ

The linear momentum is p = mv

the angular momentum L = I w

momentum the linear motion is I = F dt

in the rotation it is I = τ dt

 

2) The velocity is a vector therefore it has modulus and direction, linear acceleration changes the modulus of velocity, whereas circular motion changes the direction (the other element of the vector).

A wall in a house contains a single window. The window consists of a single pane of glass whose area is 0.15 m2 and whose thickness is 7 mm. Treat the wall as a slab of the insulating material Styrofoam whose area and thickness are 17 m2 and 0.20 m, respectively. Heat is lost via conduction through the wall and the window. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is the same for the wall and the window. Of the total heat lost by the wall and the window, what is the percentage lost by the window

Answers

Answer:

88 %

Explanation:

The rate of heat loss by a conducting material of thermal conductivity K, cross-sectional area,A and thickness d with a temperature gradient ΔT is given by

P = KAΔT/d

The total heat lost by the styrofoam wall is P₁ = K₁A₁ΔT₁/d₁ where K₁ =thermal conductivity of styrofoam wall 0.033 W/m-K, A₁ = area of styrofoam wall = 17 m², ΔT₁ = temperature gradient between inside and outside of the wall and d₁ = thickness of styrofoam wall = 0.20 m

The total heat lost by the glass window is P₂ = K₂A₂ΔT₂/d₂ where K₂ =thermal conductivity of glass window pane wall 0.96 W/m-K, A₂ = area of glass window pane = 0.15 m², ΔT₂ = temperature gradient between inside and outside of the window and d₂ = thickness of glass window pane = 7 mm = 0.007 m

The total heat lost is P = P₁ + P₂ = K₁A₁ΔT₁/d₁ + K₂A₂ΔT₂/d₂

Now, since the temperatures of both inside and outside of both window and wall are the same, ΔT₁ = ΔT₂ = ΔT

So, P = K₁A₁ΔT/d₁ + K₂A₂ΔT/d₂

Since P₂ = K₂A₂ΔT₂/d₂ = K₂A₂ΔT/d₂is the heat lost by the window, the fraction of the heat lost by the window from the total heat lost is

P₂/P = K₂A₂ΔT/d₂ ÷ (K₁A₁ΔT/d₁ + K₂A₂ΔT/d₂)

= 1/(K₁A₁ΔT/d₁÷K₂A₂ΔT/d₂ + 1)

= 1/(K₁A₁d₂÷K₂A₂d₁ + 1)

= 1/[(0.033 W/m-K × 17 m² × 0.007 m ÷ 0.96 W/m-K × 0.15 m² × 0.20 m) + 1]

= 1/(0.003927/0.0288 + 1)

= 1/(0.1364 + 1)

= 1/1.1364

= 0.88.

The percentage is thus P₂/P × 100 % = 0.88 × 100 % = 88 %

The percentage of heat lost by window of the total heat is 88 %

A small pollutant particle falls to the ground through the air at rest with a speed limit of 0.3 mm / s. The particle has a mass of 10 ^ -10 g and the drag force is of the form bv. What is the value of b?

Answers

Answer:

3.3×10⁻⁹ kg/s

Explanation:

There are two forces on the particle: weight force pulling down and drag force pushing up.  At terminal velocity, the speed is constant, so the acceleration is zero.

∑F = ma

bv − mg = 0

b = mg / v

b = (10⁻¹³ kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (3×10⁻⁴ m/s)

b = 3.3×10⁻⁹ kg/s

A polonium isotope with an atomic mass of 211.988868 u undergoes alpha decay, resulting in a daughter isotope with an atomic mass of 207.976652 u. Ignoring any recoil of the daughter, find the kinetic energy of the emitted alpha particle in megaelectronvolts (MeV).

Answers

Answer:

 K = 9.53 MeV

Explanation:

The kinetic energy that the alpha particle has emitted, is the energy in excess after removing the resting energy of the atoms and the helium nucleus that forms the alpha particle

Since energy and masses are related and cannot be

          m₀ c² = [tex]m_{f}[/tex] c² + m_He c²+ K

          K = c² (m₀ - m_{f} - m_He)

One solution to minimize resonance with buildings is to ______ the width to span ratio.

Answers

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Resonance is a phenomenon which occurs when a body A in motion set another body B into motion of it own natural frequency. So for resonance to be minimize in a body is to increase the width to span ratio. So as to reduce the overall vibration which affects directly building resonance, the stiffness or trusses and girders should be increase. The increase in this aspect helps to reinforce building structure and support.

A very thin film of soap, of thickness 170 nm, in between air seems dark. On the other hand, when placed on top of glass some visible light is seen to shine from the film. How can this happen and what is the smallest visible light that creates constructive interference when we place the film on top of glass

Answers

Answer:

λ₀ = 2 d n

Explanation:

A soap film is a layer where the lus is reflected on the surface and on the inside of the film, these two reflected rays can interfere with each other either constructively or destructively.

Let's analyze the general conditions of this interference,

* When the ray of light reaches the surface of the film it is reflected, as the index of refraction of the air is less than the index of the film, the reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

* When the ray penetrates the film, its wavelength changes due to the refractive index of the film.

          λ = λ₀ / n

where lick is the wavelength in the vacuum or air and n index of refraction of the film, in general this interference is observed perpendicular to the film, so the sine veils 1. the expression for constructive interference taking in what previous remains

         2d = (m + ½) λ

the expression for destructive interference remains

         2d = m λ

          2d = m λ₀ / n

When the film is placed on a glass plate whose index of refraction is greater than the index of refraction of the film, in the reflection in the lower part of the film another phase difference of 180º is created, for which we have a difference of total phase of 180 +180 = 360º, which is equivalent to no phase difference, therefore the two previous equations are interchanged.

Therefore where we had destructive interference now a cosntructive interference happens we can see the reflected light.

Find us the wavelength that this constructive interference creates

           2d n = m λ₀

           λ₀ = 2 d n / m

To find the minimum wavelength, suppose we observe the first interference pattern m = 1

         λ₀ = 2 d n

where d is the thickness of the film and n the index of refraction of the same

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 8 s

angular frequency ω = 2π / T

= 2 π / 8

= π / 4

x ( t ) = A ( sinωt + π / 2 ) because initial phase difference is π / 2

= A cos ωt

= A cos π t / 4  

v = Aω sinωt

= 2 x π / 4 sinωt

= .5 π sinπt / 4

when t = 2

v = .5 π sinπ x 2 / 4

= .5 π x 1

= 1.57  cm /s

At t = 3 s

v = .5 π sin π x 3 / 4

1. A uniform magnetic field is directed vertically upwards. In which direction in this field should an alpha particle be projected so that it is deflected south ward? Name and state the rule you have used to find the direction in this case.

Answers

Answer:

1. Fleming's left hand rule

2. It must be projected towards the east

Explanation:

Fleming's left-hand rule states that; When a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and to the direction of the current flow. This rule was first put forward by John Ambrose Fleming in the later part of the nineteenth century.

Hence if the thumb, fore finger and middle finger of the lefthand are held mutually at right angles to each other; the thumb shows the direction of motion, the fore finger shows the direction of the field while the middle finger shows the direction of the current.

Hence, if the alpha particle is projected eastwards(at right angles) to the uniform magnetic field, it will be deflected southwards in the magnetic field.

Remember, you can assume the following things: The whistle you use to call your hunting dog has a frequency of 21.0 kHz, but your dog is ignoring it. You suspect the whistle may not be working, but you can't hear sounds above 20.0 kHz. The speed of sound is 330 m/s at the current air temperature.

Answers

Answer:

The minimum riding speed relative to the whistle (stationary) to be able to hear the sound at 21.0 kHz frequency is 15.7  m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler shift equation is given as follows;

[tex]f' = \dfrac{v - v_o}{v + v_s} \times f[/tex]

Where:

f' = Required observed frequency = 20.0 kHz

f = Real frequency = 21.0 kHz

v = Sound wave velocity = 330 m/s

[tex]v_o[/tex] = Observer velocity = X m/s

[tex]v_s[/tex] = Source velocity = 0 m/s (Assuming the source is stationary)

Which gives;

[tex]20 = \dfrac{330- v_o}{330+0} \times 21[/tex]

330 - [tex]v_o[/tex] = (20/21)*330

[tex]v_o[/tex] = 330 - (20/21)*330 = 15.7 m/s

The minimum riding speed relative to the whistle (stationary) to be able to hear the sound at 21.0 kHz frequency = 15.7  m/s.

Explain qualitatively what happened to this energy.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to know velocity after collision . Let it be v .

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

15 x 1.5 - 12 x .75 = ( 15 + 12 ) v

v = .5 m /s

kinetic energy before collision

1/2 x 15 x 1.5² + 1/2 x 12 x .75²

= 16.875 + 3.375

= 20.25 J

kinetic energy after collision

= 1/2 x ( 15 + 12 ) x .5²

= 3.375 J

Loss of energy = 16.875 J

This energy appear as heat and sound energy that is produced during collision .

This is a specious argument, as unsound as it would be to assert that the ever-increasing rate at which rain forests are being cut down demonstrates a lack of danger to that resource. The real cause of the increased fish-catch is a greater efficiency in using technologies that deplete resources. The environmentalist's statements, if true, best support which of the following as a conclusion? (A) The use of technology is the reason for the increasing encroachment of people on nature. (B) It is possible to determine how many fish are in the sea in some way other than by catching fish. (C) The proportion of marine fish that are caught is as high as the proportion of rain forest trees that are cut down each year. (D) Modern technologies waste resources by catching inedible fish. (E) Marine fish continue to be an endangered resource. Considering politics, social tensions and debates over the meaning of liberty, how do the events and aftermath of the English Civil War demonstrate that the English colonies in North America were part of a larger Atlantic community 16. Marginal thinking involves:a. accurately calculating the opportunity cost of a decision.b. always acting in your own self-interest.c. comparing the total benefit and total cost of a decision.d. weighing the incremental benefit against the incremental cost of a decision. which statements are true for the function g(x)=x^2 and h(x)=-x^2? check all tht apply ASAP PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Eight-month old Jonathan was playing with a set of his mother's car keys, which had some sharp edges on them. His mother took the keys away and hid them, which made Jonathon start to cry, but he stopped immediately when she gave him his favorite stuffed animal. What Piagetian concept does this illustrate? Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio? A mixture of water and graphite is heated to 600 K in a 1 L container. When the system comes to equilibrium it contains 0.17 mol of H2, 0.17 mol of CO, 0.74 mol of H2O, and some graphite. Some O2 is added to the system and a spark is applied so that the H2 reacts completely with the O2.Find the amount of CO in the flask when the system returns to equilibrium. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Nitrates are groundwater contaminants derived from fertilizer, septic tank seepage and other sewage. Nitrate poisoning is particularly hazardous to infants under the age of 6 months. The maximum contaminant level (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant the government allows in drinking water. For nitrates, the MCL is 10mg/L. The health department wants to know what proportion of wells in Madison Count that have nitrate levels above the MCL. A worker has been assigned to take a simple random sample of wells in the county, measure the nitrate levels, and assess compliance. What sample size should the health department obtain if the estimate is desired to be within 2% with 95% confidence if: (hint: there are two different methods)There is no prior information available?
