Answer:

1)The second is correct. The scale shows a higher value initially and after a short time it shows the same value of rising gently

2) The correct answer is the first does not change

Explanation:

1) Let's look for the solution of the problem before seeing the statements given

We use Newton's second law

Fb - w = ma

Fb = ma + mg

Fb = m (a + g)

When you go up smoothly, the acceleration a is zero, but when you go up sharply it is different from zero, after a short time it reaches zero and the strength of the bastecía is the same as at the beginning.

Affirmations

The second is correct. The scale shows a higher value initially and after a short time it shows the same value of rising gently

2) changes the value of g

The value of the acceleration of gravity depends on the mass and radius of the Earth only, not the conditions or movements of the person. The value of g does not change

The correct answer is the first does not change

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

Zanzabum

(a) $3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa$

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

$p=\frac{I}{c}$

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

$I=1000 W/m^2$

and substituting $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , we find the radiation pressure

$p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa$

(b) $4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

$A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2$

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

$F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N$

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

$m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg$

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

You are using a hydrogen discharge tube and high quality red and blue light filters as the light source for a Michelson interfer

boyakko [2]

Answer:

final displacement = +24484.5 nm

Explanation:

The path difference when 158 bright spots were observed with red light (λ1 = 656.3 nm) is given as;

Δr = 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

So, 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

Dividing both sides by 2 to get;

d2 - d1 = 75λ1 - - - - eq1

Where;

d1 = distance between the fixed mirror and the beam splitter

d2 = position of moveable mirror from splitter when 158 bright spots are observed

Now, the path difference between the two waves when 114 bright spots were observed is;

Δr = 2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

Divide both sides by 2 to get;

d'2 - d1 = 57λ1

Where;

d'2 is the new position of the movable mirror from the splitter

Now, the displacement of the moveable mirror is (d2 - d'2). To get this, we will subtract eq2 from eq1.

(d2 - d1) - (d'2 - d1) = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d1 - d'2 + d1 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d'2 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

We are given;

(λ1 = 656.3 nm) and λ2 = 434.0 nm.

Thus;

d2 - d'2 = 75(656.3) - 57(434)

d2 - d'2 = +24484.5 nm

The study of alternating electric current requires the solutions of equations of the form i equals Upper I Subscript max Baselin

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Explanation:

i = Imax sin2πft

given i = 180 , Imax = 200 , f = 50 , t = ?

Put the give values in the equation above

180 = 200 sin 2πft

sin 2πft = .9

sin2π x 50t = .9

sin 360 x 50 t = sin ( 360n + 64 )

360 x 50 t = 360n + 64

360 x 50 t = 64 , ( putting n = 0 for least value of t )

18000 t = 64

t = 3.55 ms .

On her way home from work, Brenda drove 20 miles at 60 miles per hour. Due to poor weather conditions, she then reduced her spee

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

her time for the first journey = 20 miles / 60 miles/hr = 1/3 hr

her time for second part of the journey = her remaining distance / her speed = (80 - 20) miles / 30 miles/hr = 60 miles / 30 miles/hr = 2 hrs

total time spend by her = 2 hr+ 1/3 hr = 2 1/3 hrs

her traveling the distance at 40 miles per hour = 80 miles / 40 miles /hr = 2 hrs

the time less she would drive if she drive the entire distance at 40 miles/hr = 2 1/3 hrs - 2 hrs = 1/3 hr
