Answer:

The frequency of the photon decreases upon scattering

Explanation:

Here we note that when a photon is scattered by a charged particle, it is referred to as Compton scattering.

Compton scattering results in a reduction of the energy of the photon and hence an increase in the wavelength (from λ to λ') of the photon known as Compton effect.

Therefore, since the wavelength increases, we have from

λf = λ'f' = c

f = c/λ

Where:

f and f' = The frequency of the motion of the photon before and after the scattering

c = Speed of light (constant)

We have that the frequency, f, is inversely proportional to the wavelength, λ as follows;

f = c/λ

As λ = increases, and c is constant, f decreases, therefore, the frequency of the photon decreases upon scattering.

A raft is made of a plastic block with a density of 650 kg/m 3 , and its dimensions are 2.00 m Ã 3.00 m Ã 5.00 m. 1. what is the

cupoosta [38]

1) The volume of the raft is the product between the lenghts of its three dimensions:
$V = (2.00 m)(3.00m)(5.00m)=30 m^3$

2) The mass of the raft is the product between its density, d, and its volume, V:
$m=dV=(650 kg/m^3)(30 m^3)=19500 kg$

3) The weight of the raft is the product between its mass m and the gravitational acceleration, $g=9.81 m/s^2$ :
$W=mg=(19500 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1.91 \cdot 10^5 N$

4) The apparent weight is equal to the difference between the weight of the raft and the buoyancy (the weight of the displaced fluid):
$W_a = W- \rho_W V_{disp} g$
where $\rho _W = 1000 kg/m^3$ is the water density and $V_{disp}$ is the volume of displaced fluid.
The density of the raft ( $650 kg/m^3$ ) is smaller than the water density ( $1000 kg/m^3$ ), this means that initially the buoyancy (which has upward direction) is larger than the weight (downward direction) and so the raft is pushed upward, until it reaches a condition of equilibrium and it floats. At equilibrium, the weight and the buoyancy are equal and opposite in sign:
$W=B=\rho _W V_{disp} g$
and therefore, the apparent weight will be zero:
$W_a = W-B=W-W=0$

5) The buoyant force B is the weight of the displaced fluid, as said in step 4):
$B=\rho_W V_{disp} g$
When the raft is completely immersed in the water, the volume of fluid displaced $V_{disp}$ is equal to the volume of the raft, $V_{disp}=V$ . Therefore the buoyancy in this situation is
$B= \rho_W V g = (1000 kg/m^3)(30 m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)=2.94 \cdot 10^5 N$
However, as we said in point 4), the raft is pushed upward until it reaches equilibrium and it floats. At equilibrium, the buoyancy will be equal to the weight of the raft (because the raft is in equilibrium), so:
$B=W=1.91 \cdot 10^5 N$

6) At equilibrium, the mass of the displaced water is equal to the mass of the object. In fact, at equilibrium we have W=B, and this can be rewritten as
$mg = m_{disp} g$
where $m_{disp}= \rho_W V_{disp}$ is the mass of the displaced water. From the previous equation, we obtain that $m_{disp}=m=19500 kg$ .

7) Since we know that the mass of displaced water is equal to the mass of the raft, using the relationship $m=dV$ we can rewrite $m=m_{disp}$ as:
$d V =d_W V_{disp}$
and so
$V_{disp}= \frac{d V}{d_W}= \frac{(650 kg/m^3)(30m^3)}{1000kg/m^3}= 19.5 m^3$

8) The volume of water displaced is (point 7) $19.5 m^3$ . This volume is now "filled" with part of the volume of the raft, therefore $19.5 m^3$ is also the volume of the raft below the water level. We can calculate the fraction of raft's volume below water level, with respect to the total volume of the raft, $30 m^3$ :
$\frac{19.5 m^3}{30 m^3}\cdot 100= 65 \%$
Viceversa, the volume of raft above the water level is $30 m^3-19.5 m^3 = 10.5 m^3$ . Therefore, the fraction of volume of the raft above water level is
$\frac{10.5 m^3}{30 m^3}\cdot 100 = 35 \%$

9) Let's repeat steps 5-8 replacing $\rho _W$ , the water density, with $\rho_E=806 kg/m^3$ , the ethanol density.

9-5) The buoyant force is given by:
$B=\rho _E V_{disp} g = (806 kg/m^3)(30 m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)=2.37 \cdot 10^5 N$
when the raft is completely submerged. Then it goes upward until it reaches equilibrium and it floats: in this condition, B=W, so the buoyancy is equal to the weight of the raft.

9-6) Similarly as in point 6), the mass of the displaced ethanol is equal to the mass of the raft:
$m_E = m = 19500 kg$

9-7) Using the relationship $d= \frac{m}{V}$ , we can find the volume of displaced ethanol:
$V_E = \frac{m}{d_E} = \frac{19500 kg}{806 kg/m^3}=24.2 m^3$

9-8) The volume of raft below the ethanol level is equal to the volume of ethanol displaced: $24.2 m^3$ . Therefore, the fraction of raft's volume below the ethanol level is
$\frac{24.2 m^3}{30 m^3}\cdot 100 = 81 \%$
Consequently, the raft's volume above the ethanol level is
$30 m^3 - 24.2 m^3 = 5.8 m^3$
and the fraction of volume above the ethanol level is
$\frac{5.8 m^3}{30 m^3}\cdot 100 = 19 \%$

In this lab you will use a cart and a track to explore Newton's second law of motion. You will vary two different variables and

Savatey [412]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Newtons II law: </em>

<em> </em>It is defined as<em> "the net force acting on the object is a product of mass and acceleration of the body"</em> . Also it defines that the <em>"acceleration of an object is dependent on net force and mass of the body".</em>

Let us assume that,a string is attached to the cart, which passes over a pulley along the track. At another end of the string a weight is attached which hangs over the pulley. The hanging weight provides tension in the spring, and it helps in accelerating the cart. We assume that the string is massless and no friction between pulley and the string.

Whenever the hanging weight moves downwards, the cart will accelerate to right side.

<em>For the hanging weight/mass</em>

When hanging weight of mass is m₁ and accelerate due to gravitational force g.

Therefore we can write F = m₁ .g

and the tension acts in upward direction T (negetive)

Now, Fnet = m₁ .g - T

= m₁.a

So From Newtons II law<em> F = m.a</em>

A champion athlete can produce one horsepower (746 W) for a short period of time. The number of 16-cm-high steps a 70-kg athlete

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

From the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, t = time.

Make h the subject of the equation

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Given: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

number of steps = 6525/16

number of steps = 407 steps

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.
