An experiment to measure the speed of light uses an apparatus similar to Fizeau's. The distance between the light source and the

mirror is 10 m, and the wheel has 800 notches. If the wheel rotates at 9000 rev/s when the light from the source is extinguished, what is the experimental value for c (in m/s)?

Answer:

2.88*10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

c=\frac {2d}{t} and t=\frac {\theta}{\omega} hence

c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}

Speed of light is given by

c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s

A conveyer belt moves a 40 kg box at a velocity of 2 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the box while it is on the conveyor belt
andrew-mc [135]
Kinetic energy =  \frac{mass*velocity ^{2} }{2} =  \frac{40*2 ^{2} }{2} = 80J. Therefore kinetic energy of the box while on the conveyor belt is 80J.

The current supplied by a battery slowly decreases as the battery runs down. Suppose that the current as a function of time is:
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 8.1 x 10^24

Explanation:

I(t) = (0.6 A) e^(-t/6 hr)

I'll leave out units for neatness: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/6)

If t is in seconds then since 1hr = 3600s: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/(6 x 3600) ).

For neatness let k = 1/(6x3600) = 4.63x10^-5, then:

I(t) = 0.6e^(-kt)

Providing t is in seconds, total charge Q in coulombs is

Q= ∫ I(t).dt evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

Q = ∫(0.6e^(-kt)

= (0.6/-k)e^(-kt) evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

= -(0.6/k)[e^-∞ - e^-0]

= -0.6/k[0 - 1]

= 0.6/k

= 0.6/(4.63x10^-5)

= 12958 C

Since the magnitude of the charge on an electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C, the number of electrons is 12958/(1.6x10^-19) = 8.1x10^24 to two significant figures.

evaluate the numerical value of the vertical velocity of the car at time t=0.25 s using the expression from part d, where y0=0.7
likoan [24]

Given :

Displacement , y = 0.75 m .

Angular acceleration , \alpha=0.95\ s^{-2} .

Initial angular velocity , \omega_o=6.3\ s^{-1} .

To Find :

The value of vertical velocity after time t = 0.25 s .

Solution :

By equation of circular motion is given by :

\omega=\omega_o+\alpha t

Putting all given values we get :

\omega=6.3+0.95\times 0.25\\\\\omega= $$6.5375\ s^{-1}

Now , vertical velocity is given by :

v=y\omega\\\\v=0.75\times 6.5375\ m/s\\\\v=4.90\ m/s

Therefore , the numerical value of the vertical velocity of the car at time t=0.25 s is 4.90 m/s .

Hence , this is the required solution .

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ
melomori [17]

Complete question is;

A ski jumper travels down a slope and leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction with a speed of 24 m/s. The landing incline below her falls off with a slope of θ = 59◦ . The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ with which the ski jumper hits the slope? Answer in units of ◦

Answer:

14.08°

Explanation:

The time covered will be given by the formula;

t = (2V_x•tan θ)/g

t = (2 × 24 × tan 59)/9.8

t = 8.152 s

Now, the slope of the flight path at the point of impact will be given by the formula;

tan α = V_y/V_x

We are given V_x = 24 m/s

V_y will be gotten from the formula;

v = gt

Thus;

V_y = gt

V_y = 9.8 × (8.152) = 78.89 m/s

Thus;

tan α = 78.89/24

tan α = 3.2871

α = tan^(-1) 3.2871

α = 73.08°

Thus ;

Relative angle φ = α - θ = 73.08 - 59 = 14.08°
