For a certain transverse wave, the distance between two successive crests is 1.20 m, and eight crests pass a given point along the direction of travel every 12.0 s. calculate the wave speed.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Final answer:

Given the wavelength and the frequency, the speed of the wave can be calculated by multiplying these two values. Substituting the given values, the speed of the wave is found to be 0.80 m/s.

Explanation:

In this problem, we are given the wavelength (distance between two crests) as 1.20 m and the frequency, indirectly given as the number of crests passing a certain point per time. We are told that 8 crests pass the point every 12 seconds, this means there were 8 complete cycles in this time. Therefore, the frequency (number of cycles per second) is A/B = 8 cycles /12 s = 0.67 Hz.

The speed of a wave is given by the equation v = fλ, where v is the wave speed, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength. If we substitute the given values into the formula we get: v = 0.67 Hz * 1.20 m = 0.80 m/s. Hence, the speed of the wave is 0.80 m/s.

The direct sunlight at Earth's surface is about 1050 W/m2 . Compute mass lost by Sun in a thousand years as a fraction of Earth Mass? The lost Mass of sun/in a million yrs = ……?…..% of Earth Mass.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy falling on 1 m² surface of earth per second = 1050

Energy in one million years on 1 m²

= 1050 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 x 10⁶ = 3.311 x 10¹⁶ J

In order to calculate total energy coming out of the surface of the sun , we shall have to sum up this energy for the while spherical surface of imaginary sphere having radius equal to distance between sun and earth.

Area of this surface = 4π R² = 4 X 3.14 X (149.6 X 10⁹ )²

= 2.8 X 10²³ m²

So total energy coming out of the sun = 2.8 x 10²³ x 3.311 x 10¹⁶

= 9.271 x 10³⁹ J

From the formula

E = mc² { energy mass equivalence formula }

m = E / c² = (9.271 *10^(39))/(9 * 10^(16))

1.03 x 10²³ kg

The measurement of an electron's energy requires a time interval of 1.2×10^−8 s . What is the smallest possible uncertainty in the electron's energy?

Answers

Answer:

1.05* 10^(-26)J

Explanation:

The uncertainty in energy is given by \Delta E=(h)/(2\pi \Delta t)

here h is plank's constant which value is 6.67* 10^(-34) and \Delta t is the time interval which is given as 1.2* 10^(-8)sec

So using all the parameters the smallest possible uncertainty in electrons energy is =(6.67* 10^(-34))/(2* \pi * 1.2* 10^(-8))=1.05* 10^(-26)J

As you take the stoppered part of the tube up the staircase you begin to see the water level drop around the 4th floor. As you continue up it does not continue up with you but stays at a constant level. What does that mean?a. The pressure in the tubing is equal to the barometric pressure.
b. The tubing was unable to supply any more water to the tube for use.
c. The pressure outside the tube is higher that the water pressure inside the tube.

Answers

Answer:

a. The pressure in the tubing is equal to the barometric pressure.

Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the if you take the stoppert part of the tube than the level of warer would be fall approx 4th floor and if it is continued than it wont be continue but remains constant.

Now here first we do that the tube i.e. connected to the bucket should be taken up. In the first instance, the bucket supplies the water to the tube but it would not increased far away to the level of the barometric pressure

Hence, the correct option is a.

It's nighttime, and you've dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 0.90m above the edge of the pool, you can illuminate the goggles if the laser beam enters the water 2.2m from the edge.-How far are the goggles from the edge of the pool?

Answers

Answer:

the googles are 5.3 m from the edge

Explanation:

Given that

depth of pool , d = 3.2 m

Now, let i be the angle of incidence

a laser pointer 0.90 m above the edge of the pool and  laser beam enters the water 2.2 m from the edge

⇒tan i = 2.2/0.9

i=arctan(2.2/.90)

solving we get

i = 67.8°

Using snell's law ,

n1 ×sin(i) = n2 ×sin(r)

n1= refractive index of 1st medium= 1

n2=  refractive index of 2nd medium = 1.33

r= angle of reflection

therefore,

1* sin(67.8) = 1.33* sin(r)

r = 44.1°

Now,

distance of googles = 2.2 + d×tan(r)

distance of googles = 2.2 + 3.2×tan(44.1)

distance of googles = 5.3 m

the googles are 5.3 m from the edge

1. The resistance of an electric device is 40,000 microhms. Convert that measurement to ohms2. When an electric soldering iron is used in a 110 V circuit, the current flowing through the iron is
2 A. What is the resistance of the iron?
3. A current of 0.2 A flows through an electric bell having a resistance of 65 ohms. What must be
the applied voltage in the circuit?

Answers

Answer:

(1) 0.04 ohms (2) 55 ohms (3) 13 volt

Explanation:

(1) The resistance of an electric device is 40,000 microhms.

We need to convert it into ohms.

1\ \mu \Omega =10^(-6)\ \Omega

To covert 40,000 microhms to ohms, multiply 40,000 and 10⁻⁶ as follows :

40000 \ \mu \Omega =40000 * 10^(-6)\ \Omega\n\n=0.04\ \Omega

(2) Voltage used, V = 110 V

Current, I = 2 A

We need to find the resistance of the iron. Using Ohms law to find it as follows :

V = IR, where R is resistance

R=(V)/(I)\n\nR=(110)/(2)\n\nR=55\ \Omega

(3) Current, I = 0.2 A

Resistance, R = 65 ohms

We need to find the applied voltage in the circuit. Using Ohms law to find it as follows :

V=IR

V = 0.2 × 65

V = 13 volt

Answer:

1. 0.04 Ohms

2. 55 Ohms

3. 13 Volts
