Through the work of Max Planck, Einstein, Louis de Broglie, Arthur Compton, Niels Bohr, current scientific theory holds that all particles also have a wave nature (and vice versa).

MrRa [10]

Convection can best be observed as she blows the warm steam air that rises.

As the warm steam rises, she forces displaces it with cool air from her mouth. Because the warm steam is less dense it rises and because the cool air is more dense, it displaces the warm air.

This scenario is an example of convection.

A blue puck has a velocity of 3i –4j m/s. Its mass is 20 kg. What is its momentum?

damaskus [11]

P = m * v
v = {3i - 4j} = square root (3^2 + 4^2) = 5
P = 20 * 5
P = 100 kg m/s

A charge Q is placed on the x axis at x = +4.0 m. A second charge q is located at the origin. If Q = +75 nC and q = −8.0 nC, wha

Stells [14]

Answer:

23.1 N/C

Explanation:

OP = 3 m , OQ = 4 m

$PQ = \sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2}}=5 m$

q = - 8 nC, Q = 75 nC

Electric field at P due to the charge Q is

$E_{1}=\frac{KQ}{PQ^{2}}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 75\times 10^{-9}}{25}=27 N/C$

Electric field at P due to the charge q is

$E_{2}=\frac{Kq}{PO^{2}}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 8\times 10^{-9}}{9}=8 N/C$

According to the diagram, tanθ = 3/4

Resolve the components of E1 along x axis and along y axis.

So, Electric field along X axis, Ex = - E1 Cos θ

Ex = - 27 x 4 / 5 = - 21.6 N/C

Electric field along y axis, Ey = E1 Sinθ - E2

Ey = 27 x 3 /5 - 8 = 8.2 N/C

The resultant electric field at P is given by

$E=\sqrt{E_{x}^{2}+E_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(-21.6)^{2}+(8.2)^{2}}=23.1 N/C$

If the rocket has an initial mass of 6300 kg and ejects gas at a relative velocity of magnitude 2000 m/s , how much gas must it

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The amount of gas that is to be released in the first second in other to attain an acceleration of 27.0 m/s2 is

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 83.92 \ Kg/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rocket is m = 6300 kg

The velocity at gas is being ejected is u = 2000 m/s

The initial acceleration desired is $a = 27.0 \ m/s$

The time taken for the gas to be ejected is t = 1 s

Generally this desired acceleration is mathematically represented as

$a = \frac{u * \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} }{M -\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}* t}$

Here $\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t }$ is the rate at which gas is being ejected with respect to time

Substituting values

$27 = \frac{2000 * \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} }{6300 -\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}* 1}$

=> $170100 -27* \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 2000 * \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}$

=> $170100 = 2027 * \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}$

=> $\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \frac{170100}{2027}$

=> $\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 83.92 \ Kg/s$

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency $f=723\ Hz$

apparent Frequency $f'=697\ Hz$

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

$f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}$

where

$f'=$ apparent frequency

v=velocity of sound in the given media

$v_s=$ velocity of source

$v_0=$ velocity of observer

here $v_0=0$

$697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})$

$v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v$

$v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343$

$v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s$

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of $12.8 m/s$

distance traveled by fork is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s$

$s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$s=8.35\ m$
