Answer:

The temperature change in Celsius is 46°C.

The temperature change in Fahrenheit is 82.8°F.

Explanation:

A degree of Celsius scale is equal to that of kelvin scale; therefore,

$\Delta C = \Delta K = 283K-237K\\\\ \boxed{\Delta C = 46^oC}$

A degree in Fahrenheit is 1.8 times the Celsius degree; therefore

$\Delta F = 1.8(46^o)$

$\boxed{\Delta F = 82.8^oF}$

Hence, the temperature change in Celsius is 46°C, and the temperature change in Fahrenheit is 82.8°F.

A cylinder is 0.10 m in radius and 0.20 in length. Its rotational inertia, about the cylinder axis on which it is mounted, is 0.

Bumek [7]

Answer: $5 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Radius of cylinder r=0.1 m

Length L=0.2 in.

Moment of inertia I=0.020 kg-m^2

Force F=1 N

We Know Torque is given by

$Torque =I\alpha =F\cdot r$

where $\alpha =angular\ acceleration$

$I\alpha =F\cdot r$

$0.02\cdot \alpha =1\cdot 0.1$

$\alpha =5 rad/s^2$

A 250 Hz tuning fork is struck and the intensity at the source is I1 at a distance of one meter from the source. (a) What is the

Zina [86]

Answer:

a) 0.0625 I_1

b) 3.16 m

Explanation:

<u>Concepts and Principles </u>

The intensity at a distance r from a point source that emits waves of power P is given as:

I=P/4π*r^2 (1)

<u>Given Data</u>

f (frequency of the tuning fork) = 250 Hz

I_1 is the intensity at the source a distance r_1 = I m from the source.

<u>Required Data</u>

- In part (a), we are asked to determine the intensity I_2 a distance r_2 = 4 in from the source.

- In part (b), we are asked to determine the distance from the tuning fork at which the intensity is a tenth of the intensity at the source.

<u>solution:</u>

(a)

According to Equation (1), the intensity a distance r is inversely proportional to the distance from the source squared:

I∝1/r^2

Set the proportionality:

I_1/I_2=(r_2/r_1)^2 (2)

Solve for I_2 :

I_2=I_1(r_2/r_1)^2

I_2=0.0625 I_1

(b)

Solve Equation (2) for r_2:

r_2=(√I_1/I_2)*r_1

where I_2 = (1/10)*I_1:

r_2=(√I_1/1/10*I_1)*r_1

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 1.2*10^-7 m

b) 1.0*10^-7 m

c) 9.7*10^-8 m

d) ultraviolet region

Explanation:

To find the different wavelengths you use the following formula:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(1-\frac{1}{n^2})$

RH: Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1.

(a) n=2

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(2)^2})=8227500m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.2*10^{-7}m$

(b)

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(3)^2})=9751111,1m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.0*10^{-7}m$

(c)

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(4)^2})=10284375m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=9.7*10^{-8}m$

(d) The three lines belong to the ultraviolet region.

The speed is 0.956 m / s.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The kinetic energy is equal to the product of half of an object's mass, and the square of the velocity.

K.E = 1/2 $\times$ m $\times$ $v^{2}$

where K.E represents the kinetic energy,

m represents the mass,

v represents the velocity.

K.E = 1/2 $\times$ m $\times$ $v^{2}$

1.10 $\times$ 10^42 = 1/2 $\times$ 3.26 $\times$ 10^31 $\times$ $v^{2}$

$v^{2}$ = (1.10 $\times$ 10^42 $\times$ 2) / (3.26 $\times$ 10^31)

v = 0.956 m / s.

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?

tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

$v_{x}^{2}$ = $v_{ox}^{2}$ +2 a x (x - x₀)

$v_{x}$ = velocity at position "x"

$v_{ox}$ = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

$x_{o}$ = initial position of the object at the start of the motion
