Answer:

The expression of gravitational field due to mass $m_!$ at a distance $l_a$

Explanation:

We have given mass is $m_1$

Distance of the point where we have to find the gravitational field is $l_a$

Gravitational constant G

We have to find the gravitational filed

Gravitational field is given by $g=\frac{Gm_1}{l_a^2}$

This will be the expression of gravitational field due to mass $m_!$ at a distance $l_a$

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

b) It is impossible to tell without knowing the masses.

Explanation:

The temperature change of a substance when it receives/gives off a certain amount of heat Q is given by

$\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}$

where

Q is the amount of heat

m is the mass of the substance

Cs is the specific heat capacity of the substance

In this case, we have a hot piece of aluminum in contact with a cold piece of copper: the amount of heat given off by the aluminum is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the copper, so Q is the same for the two substances. However, we see that the temperature change of the two substances depends on two other factors: the mass, m, and the specific heat, Cs. So, since we know only the specific heat of the two substances, but not their mass, we can't tell which object will experience the greater temperature change.

A 1500-kg car locks its brakes and skids to a stop on a slippery horizontal road, leaving skid marks that are 15 m long. How muc

Harman [31]

Answer:

$E=88200\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car, $m=1500\ kg$

distance of skidding after the application of brakes, $d=15\ m$

coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k=0.4$

<u>So, the energy dissipated during the skidding of car:</u>

<em>Frictional force:</em>

$f=\mu_k.N$

where N = normal reaction by ground on the car

$f=0.4\ties 1500\times 9.8$

$f=5880\ N$

<em>Now from the work-energy equivalence:</em>

$E=f.d$

$E=5880\times 15$

$E=88200\ J$ is the dissipated energy.

A flashlight beam makes an angle of 60 degrees with the surface of the water before it enters the water. in the water what angle

alexira [117]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.

Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

= 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

= 22.08

<u>≈ 22°</u>

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

A baseball player exerts a force of 100 N on a ball for a distance of 0.5 mas he throws it. If the ball has a mass of 0.15 kg, w

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

25.82 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Force exerted by baseball player; F = 100 N

Distance covered by ball; d = 0.5 m

Mass of ball; m = 0.15 kg

Now, to get the velocity at which the ball leaves his hand, we will equate the work done to the kinetic energy.

We should note that work done is a measure of the energy exerted by the baseball player.

Thus;

F × d = ½mv²

100 × 0.5 = ½ × 0.15 × v²

v² = (2 × 100 × 0.5)/0.15

v² = 666.67

v = √666.67

v = 25.82 m/s
