A man stands on his balcony, 130 feet above the ground. He looks at the ground, with his sight line forming an angle of 70° with

the building, and sees a bus stop. The function d = 130 sec θ models the distance from the man to any object given his angle of sight θ. How far is the bus stop from the man? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer:

d = 380 feet

Explanation:

Height of man = perpendicular= 130 feet

Angle of depression = ∅ = 70 °

distance to bus stop from man = hypotenuse = d = 130 sec∅

As sec ∅ = 1 / cos∅

so d = 130 sec∅ or d = 130 / cos∅

d = 130 / cos(70°)

d = 380 feet

A circular surface with a radius of 0.057 m is exposed to a uniform external electric field of magnitude 1.44 × 104 N/C. The mag

klio [65]

Answer:

57.94°

Explanation:

we know that the expression of flux

$\Phi =E\times S\times COS\Theta$

where Ф= flux

E= electric field

S= surface area

θ = angle between the direction of electric field and normal to the surface.

we have Given Ф= 78 $\frac{Nm^{2}}{sec}$

E= $1.44\times 10^{4}\frac{Nm}{C}$

S= $\pi \times 0.057^{2}$

$COS\Theta =\frac{\Phi }{S\times E}$

= $\frac{78}{1.44\times 10^{4}\times \pi \times 0.057^{2}}$

=0.5306

θ=57.94°

Light with a wavelength of 495 nm is falling on a surface and electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.5 eV are ejected. Wha

devlian [24]

Answer:

To increase the maximum kinetic energy of electrons to 1.5 eV, it is necessary that ultraviolet radiation of 354 nm falls on the surface.

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the work function of the element. The maximum kinetic energy as a function of the wavelength is given by:

$K_{max}=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-W$

Here h is the Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light and W the work function of the element:

$W=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-K_{max}\\W=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{495*10^{-9}m}-0.5eV\\W=2.01eV$

Now, we calculate the wavelength for the new maximum kinetic energy:

$W+K_{max}=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{hc}{W+K_{max}}\\\lambda=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{2.01eV+1.5eV}\\\lambda=3.54*10^{-7}m=354*10^{-9}m=354nm$

This wavelength corresponds to ultraviolet radiation. So, to increase the maximum kinetic energy of electrons to 1.5 eV, it is necessary that ultraviolet radiation of 354 nm falls on the surface.

A heavy flywheel is accelerated (rotationally) by a motor that provides constant torque and therefore a constant angular acceler

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Part a)

$t_1 = \frac{\omega_1}{\alpha}$

Part b)

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t_1^2$

Part c)

$t = \frac{t_1}{5}$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that it is having constant torque so here the time taken by it to accelerate is given as

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

$\omega_1 = 0 + \alpha t_1$

$t_1 = \frac{\omega_1}{\alpha}$

Part b)

angular displacement is given as

$\theta = \omega_i t_1 + \frac{1}{2}(\alpha) t_1^2$

$\theta = 0 + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t_1^2$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t_1^2$

Part c)

As we know that the angular deceleration produced by the brakes is given as

$\alpha_d = - 5\alpha$

now we have

$\omega_f = \omega _i + \alpha t$

$0 = \omega_1 - 5 \alpha_1 t$

$t = \frac{\omega_1}{5 \alpha}$

As we know that

$t_1 = \frac{\omega_1}{\alpha}$

so we have

$t = \frac{t_1}{5}$
