A rod bent into the arc of a circle subtends an angle 2θ at the center P of the circle (see below). If the rod is charged uniformly with a total charge Q, what is the electric field at P? (Assume Q is positive. For the magnitude, use the following as necessary: ε0, Q, R, and θ.)
Answer:
Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ
Explanation:
Let us have a small charge element dq which produces an electric field E. There is also a symmetric field at P due to a symmetric charge dq at P. Their vertical electric field components cancel out leaving the horizontal component dE' = dEcosθ = dqcosθ/4πε₀R² where r is the radius of the arc.
Now, let λ be the charge per unit length on the arc. then, the small charge element dq = λds where ds is the small arc length. Also ds = Rθ.
So dq = λRdθ.
Substituting dq into dE', we have
dE' = dqcosθ/4πε₀R²
= λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R²
= λdθcosθ/4πε₀R
E' = ∫dE' = ∫λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R² = (λ/4πε₀R)∫cosθdθ from -θ to θ
E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ] from -θ to θ
E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ]
= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ - sin(-θ)]
= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ + sinθ]
= 2(λ/4πε₀R)sinθ
= (λ/2πε₀R)sinθ
Now, the total charge Q = ∫dq = ∫λRdθ from -θ to +θ
Q = λR∫dθ = λR[θ - (-θ)] = λR[θ + θ] = 2λRθ
Q = 2λRθ
λ = Q/2Rθ
Substituting λ into E', we have
E' = (Q/2Rθ/2πε₀R)sinθ
E' = (Q/θ4πε₀R²)sinθ
E' = Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ where θ is in radians
Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest wavelength in the series.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-
[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )[/tex]
Where
[tex]\lambda[/tex] represents wavelength
R represents Rydberg's constant
[tex]n_f[/tex] represents Final energy states
and [tex]n_i[/tex] represents initial energy states
Now Substitute is
[tex]1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )[/tex]
now we will put the values into the above formula
[tex]= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )[/tex]
[tex]= 1218888.889 m^{-1}[/tex]
Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of [tex]\lambda[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m[/tex]
So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.
An unstable particle at rest spontaneously breaks into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the first fragment is 3.00 10-28 kg, and that of the other is 1.86 10-27 kg. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.844c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment
Answer: Speed = [tex]3.10^{-31}[/tex] m/s
Explanation: Like in classical physics, when external net force is zero, relativistic momentum is conserved, i.e.:
[tex]p_{f} = p_{i}[/tex]
Relativistic momentum is calculated as:
p = [tex]\frac{mu}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
where:
m is rest mass
u is velocity relative to an observer
c is light speed, which is constant (c=[tex]3.10^{8}[/tex]m/s)
Initial momentum is zero, then:
[tex]p_{f}[/tex] = 0
[tex]p_{1}-p_{2}[/tex] = 0
[tex]p_{1} = p_{2}[/tex]
To find speed of the heavier fragment:
[tex]\frac{mu_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{c^{2}} } }=\frac{mu_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.86.10^{-27}u_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }=\frac{3.10^{-28}.0.844.3.10^{8}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.844c)^{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.86.10^{-27}u_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }=1.42.10^{-19}[/tex]
[tex]1.86.10^{-27}u_{1} = 1.42.10^{-19}.{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex](1.86.10^{-27}u_{1})^{2} = (1.42.10^{-19}.{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } })^{2}[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38}.(1-\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{9.10^{16}} )[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38} -[2.02.10^{-38}(\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{9.10^{16}} )][/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38} -2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1}[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2}+2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1} = 2.02.10^{-38}[/tex]
[tex]2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1} = 2.02.10^{-38}[/tex]
[tex]u^{2}_{1} = \frac{2.02.10^{-38}}{2.24.10^{-23}}[/tex]
[tex]u_{1} = \sqrt{9.02.10^{-62}}[/tex]
[tex]u_{1} = 3.10^{-31}[/tex]
The speed of the heavier fragment is [tex]u_{1} = 3.10^{-31}[/tex]m/s.

Light with an intensity of 1 kW/m2 falls normally on a surface and is completely absorbed. The radiation pressure is
Answer:
The radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.
Explanation:
Given;
intensity of light, I = 1 kW/m²
The radiation pressure of light is given as;
[tex]Radiation \ Pressure = \frac{Flux \ density}{Speed \ of \ light}[/tex]
I kW = 1000 J/s
The energy flux density = 1000 J/m².s
The speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Thus, the radiation pressure of the light is calculated as;
[tex]Radiation \ pressure = \frac{1000}{3*10^{8}} \\\\Radiation \ pressure =3.33*10^{-6} \ Pa[/tex]
Therefore, the radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.
Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by a clock on board the spacecraft, and then return home at the same speed. Upon return, the people on earth will have advanced exactly 120 years into the future. According to special relativity, how fast must you travel
Answer:
I must travel with a speed of 2.97 x 10^8 m/s
Explanation:
Sine the spacecraft flies at the same speed in the to and fro distance of the journey, then the time taken will be 6 months plus 6 months
Time that elapses on the spacecraft = 1 year
On earth the people have advanced 120 yrs
According to relativity, the time contraction on the spacecraft is gotten from
[tex]t[/tex] = [tex]t_{0} /\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex]
where
[tex]t[/tex] is the time that elapses on the spacecraft = 120 years
[tex]t_{0}[/tex] = time here on Earth = 1 year
[tex]\beta[/tex] is the ratio v/c
where
v is the speed of the spacecraft = ?
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
substituting values, we have
120 = 1/[tex]\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex]
squaring both sides of the equation, we have
14400 = 1/[tex](1 - \beta ^{2} )[/tex]
14400 - 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex] = 1
14400 - 1 = 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex]
14399 = 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex] = 14399/14400 = 0.99
[tex]\beta = \sqrt{0.99}[/tex] = 0.99
substitute β = v/c
v/c = 0.99
but c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 0.99c = 0.99 x 3 x 10^8 = 2.97 x 10^8 m/s

N/A What is the amplitude of this function? 12 What is the horizontal shift? What is the phase shift? What is the vertical shift? How many hours of sunlight will there be on February 21st of any year?
Answer:
a. 365; b. 3; c. 78; d. 1.343 rad; e. 12; f. 10.66
Explanation:
Assume that the function is
[tex]D(x) = 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12[/tex]
The general formula for a sinusoidal function is
y = A sin(B(x - C))+ D
|A| = amplitude
B = frequency
2π/B = period, P
C = horizontal shift (phase shift)
D = vertical shift
By comparing the two formulas, we find
|A| = 3
B = 2π/365
C = 78
D = 12
a. Period
P = 2π/B = 2π/(2π/365) = 2π × 365/2π = 365
The period is 365.
b. Amplitude
|A| = 3
The amplitude is 3.
c. Horizontal shift
C= 78
The horizontal shift is 78.
d. Phase shift (φ)
Ths phase shift is the horizontal shift expressed in radians.
φ = C × 2π/365 = 78 × 2π/365 ≈ 1.343
The phase shift is 1.343 rad.
e. Vertical shift
D = 12
The vertical shift is 12.
f. Hours of sunlight on Feb 21
Feb 21 is the 52nd day of the year, so x = 51 (the number of days after Jan 1),
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}D(x) &=& 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12\\\\&=& 3 \sin (0.01721(51 - 78) ) + 12\\&=& 3\sin(-0.4648) + 12\\&=& 3(-0.4482) + 12\\\&=& -1.345 + 12\\& = & \textbf{10.66 h}\\\end{array}[/tex]
There will be 10.66 h of sunlight on Feb 21 of any given year.
The figure below shows the graph of the function from 0 ≤ x ≤ 365.
Five wheels are connected as shown in the figure. Find the velocity of the block “Q”, if it is known that: RA= 5 [m], RB= 10 [m], RD= 6 [m], RE=12 [m].
Answer:
-5 m/s
Explanation:
The linear velocity of B is equal and opposite the linear velocity of E.
vB = -vE
vB = -ωE rE
10 m/s = -ωE (12 m)
ωE = -0.833 rad/s
The angular velocity of E is the same as the angular velocity of D.
ωE = ωD
ωD = -0.833 rad/s
The linear velocity of Q is the same as the linear velocity of D.
vQ = vD
vQ = ωD rD
vQ = (-0.833 rad/s) (6 m)
vQ = -5 m/s
Calculate the work performed by an ideal Carnot engine as a cold brick warms from 150 K to the temperature of the environment, which is 300 K. (Use 300 K as the temperature of the hot reservoir of the engine). The heat capacity of the brick is C
Answer
Work done is 57.9KJ
Explanation
First solve the problem according to work done due to variation in temperature
So W= intergral Cu( 1-Tu/T). at Tu and T
So Given that
C = Heat capacity of the Brick
TEPc= Cold Temperature
TEPh = Hot Temperature
W = C ( TEPh-TEP) - TEPhCln ( TEPh/TEPc)
So
W= (1)-(300-150)-300 (1) ln 2
W= -57.9KJ
A 750 gram grinding wheel 25.0 cm in diameter is in the shape of a uniform solid disk. (we can ignore the small hole at the center). when it is in use, it turns at a consant 220 rpm about an axle perpendicular to its face through its center. When the power switch is turned off, you observe that the wheel stops in 45.0 s with constant angular acceleration due to friction at the axle. What torque does friction exert while this wheel is slowing down?
Answer:
Torque = 0.012 N.m
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of wheel;m = 750 g = 0.75 kg
Radius of wheel;r = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Final angular velocity; ω_f = 0
Initial angular velocity; ω_i = 220 rpm
Time taken;t = 45 seconds
Converting 220 rpm to rad/s we have;
220 × 2π/60 = 22π/3 rad/s
Equation of rotational motion is;
ω_f = ω_i + αt
Where α is angular acceleration
Making α the subject, we have;
α = (ω_f - ω_i)/t
α = (0 - 22π/3)/45
α = -0.512 rad/s²
The formula for the Moment of inertia is given as;
I = ½mr²
I = (1/2) × 0.75 × 0.25²
I = 0.0234375 kg.m²
Formula for torque is;
Torque = Iα
For α, we will take the absolute value as the negative sign denotes decrease in acceleration.
Thus;
Torque = 0.0234375 × 0.512
Torque = 0.012 N.m

Krishna and Seldon now try a homework problem. A policeman sitting in his unmarked police car sees an approaching motorcyclist go through a red light two blocks away. He turns on his siren at a frequency of 1000 Hz as the motorcyclist heads directly toward him at 61 mph (27.27 m/s). What frequency does the motorcyclist hear? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz What frequency does the motorcyclist hear when stopped with the police car approaching at 61 mph (27.27 m/s)? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply formula of Doppler's effect
Here source is fixed and observer is approaching the source
f = f₀ x [(V + v ) / V ]
f₀ is original and f is apparent frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of motorcyclist .
f = 1000 x [(331 + 27.27 ) / 331 ]
= 1082 .4 Hz
This is the frequency heard by motorcyclist .
When police car is approaching him when he is stopped
f = f₀ x [V /(V - v ) ]
v is velocity of police car .
= 1000 x 331 / (331 - 27.27)
= 1090 Hz
Physical properties of a mineral are a result of the arrangement of the atoms in the mineral. Use this fact to explain the following:_________
A. One mineral has a density of 2.7 g/ml while another has a density of 5.1 g/ml
B. The mineral mica cleaves into thin flat sheets while olivine does not show cleavage
Explanations:
a) The physical properties of a mineral is as a result of the arrangement of the atoms in the minerals. The reason behind one mineral having a density of 2.1 g/ml which is lower than that of another mineral with density of 5.1 g/ml is the packing density of the minerals. Minerals with high density have their atoms more closely packed together, leaving less space between the atoms. This characteristics means that they have more atomic mass per unit volume for a given molecular space, when compared to another mineral with its atoms less closely packed.
b) The property of cleavage is due to the crystalline structure of a mineral species. Cleavage is used to describe the ease with which minerals cleaves. Cleavage is due to a weak bonding strength between the molecules of the mineral, or a due to a greater lattice spacing across the the cleavage plane than in other planes within the crystal. The greater the lattice spacing, the weaker the strength of the bond across a plane.
From these, we can clearly see that the property of cleavage is due to the physical properties of the crystalline structure of the mineral species.
g Assume you are a farsighted person who has a near point distance of 40 (cm). If you use a converging contact lens with focal length of 10 (cm). What is nearest distance you can vision with you contacts now?
Answer:
object distance p = 13.33 cm
Explanation:
For this problem of finding the image of an object we must use the constructor equation
1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q
where f is the focal length, p and q are the distances to the object and the image, respectively.
In this case they indicate the focal length f = 10 cm, since the person has hyperopia, the image must be formed q = 40 cm, let's find where the object is (p)
1 / p = 1 / f - 1 / q
1 / p = 1/10 - 1/40
1 / p = 0.075
p = 13.33 cm
When light of wavelength 233 nm shines on a metal surface the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is 1.98 eV. What is the maximum wavelength (in nm) of light that will produce photoelectrons from this surface
Answer:
λmax = 372 nm
Explanation:
First we find the energy of photon:
E = hc/λ
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
λ = Wavelength of Light = 233 nm = 2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
h = Planks Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m)
E = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:
E = Work Function + Kinetic Energy
8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = Work Function + (1.98 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)
Work Function = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 3.168 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Work Function = 5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Since, work function is the minimum amount of energy required to emit electron. Therefore:
Work Function = hc/λmax
λmax = hc/Work Function
where,
λmax = maximum wavelength of light that will produce photoelectrons = ?
Therefore,
λmax = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
λmax = 3.72 x 10⁻⁷ m
λmax = 372 nm
The following equation is an example of

Au →

2
He+
Answer:
Alp decay.
Explanation:
From the above equation, the parent nucleus 185 79Au produces a daughter nuclei 181 77 Ir.
A careful observation of the atomic mass of the parent nucleus (185) and the atomic mass of the daughter nuclei (181) shows that the atomic mass of the daughter nuclei decreased by a factor of 4. Also, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei also decreased by a factor of 2 when compared with the parent nucleus as shown in the equation given above.
This simply means that the parent nucleus has undergone alpha decay which is represented with a helium atom as 4 2He.
Therefore, the equation is an example of alpha decay.
In a double-slit experiment the distance between slits is 5.0 mm and the slits are 1.4 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light of wavelength 450 nm, and the other due to light of wavelength 590 nm. What is the separation in meters on the screen between the m = 5 bright fringes of the two interference patterns?
Answer:
Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m
Explanation:
In double-slit experiments the constructive interference pattern is described by the equation
d sin θ = m λ
In this case we have two wavelengths, so two separate patterns are observed, let's use trigonometry to find the angle
tan θ = y / L
as the angles are small,
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
substituting
sin θ = y / L
d y / L = m λ
y = m λ / d L
let's apply this formula for each wavelength
λ = 450 nm = 450 10⁻⁹ m
m = 5
d = 5.0 mm = 5.0 10⁻³ m
y₁ = 5 450 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³ 1.4)
y₁ = 3.21 10⁻⁴ m
we repeat the calculation for lam = 590 nm = 590 10⁻⁹ m
y₂ = 5 590 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³ 1.4)
y₂= 4.21 10⁻⁴ m
the separation of these two lines is
Δy = y₂ - y₁
Δy = (4.21 - 3.21) 10⁻⁴ m
Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m
An average sleeping person metabolizes at a rate of about 80 W by digesting food or burning fat. Typically, 20% of this energy goes into bodily functions, such as cell repair, pumping blood, and other uses of mechanical energy, while the rest goes to heat. Most people get rid of all this excess heat by transferring it (by conduction and the flow of blood) to the surface of the body, where it is radiated away. The normal internal temperature of the body (where the metabolism takes place) is 37∘C37 ∘ C, and the skin is typically 7C∘7C ∘ cooler. By how much does the person’s entropy change per second due to this heat transfer?
Answer:
-4.7 x 10^-3 J/K-s
Explanation:
The Power generated by metabolizing food = 80 W
The watt W is equivalent to the Joules per sec J/s
therefor power = 80 J/s
20% of this energy is not used for heating, amount available for heating is
==> H = 80% of 80 = 0.8 x 80 = 64 J/s
The inner body temperature = 37 °C = 273 + 37 = 310 K
The entropy of this inner body ΔS = ΔH/T
ΔS = 64/310 = 0.2065 J/K-s
The skin temperature is cooler than the inner body by 7 °C
Temperature of the skin = 37 - 7 = 30 °C = 273 + 30 = 303 K
The entropy of the skin = ΔS = ΔH/T
ΔS = 64/303 = 0.2112 J/K-s
change in entropy of the person's body = (entropy of hot region: inner body) - (entropy of cooler region: skin)
==> 0.2065 - 0.2112 = -4.7 x 10^-3 J/K-s
Rank these electromagnetic waves on the basis of their speed (in vacuum). Rank from fastest to slowest.
a. Yellow light
b. FM radio wave
c. Green light
d. X-ray
e. AM radio wave
f. Infrared wave
Answer:
From fastest speed to slowest speed, the electromagnetic waves are ranked as(up to down):
d. X-ray
c. Green light
a. Yellow light
f. Infrared wave
b. FM radio wave
e. AM radio wave
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves produced as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. The waves have three properties and these properties are frequency, speed and wavelength, which are related by the relationship below
V = Fλ
where:\
V = speed (velocity)
F = frequency
λ = wavelength.
From the relationship above, it is seen that the speed of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the speed. Therefore, from the list given, the waves with the highest to lowest frequencies/ from left to right are:
X-ray (3×10¹⁹ Hz to 3×10¹⁶Hz), Green light (5.66×10¹⁴Hz), Yellow light (5.17×10¹⁴Hz), Infrared wave (3×10¹¹Hz), FM radio wave (10.8×10⁸Hz to 8.8×10⁷Hz), AM radio wave (1.72 × 10⁶Hz to 5.5×10⁵Hz).
This corresponds to the speed from highest to lowest from left to right.
Light of wavelength 500 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.2 mm apart. If the spacing between the first and third dark fringes is to be 4.0 mm, what is the distance from the slits to a screen?
Answer:
L = 0.8 m
Explanation:
Since, the distance between first and third dark fringes is 4 mm. Therefore, the fringe spacing between consecutive dark fringes will be:
Δx = 4 mm/2 = 2 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m
but,
Δx = λL/d
λ = wavelength of the light = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m
d = slit spacing = 0.2 mm = 0.2 x 10⁻³ m
L = Distance between slits and screen = ?
Therefore, using the values, we get:
2 x 10⁻³ m = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m)(L)/(0.2 x 10⁻³)
L = (2 x 10⁻³ m)(0.2 x 10⁻³ m)/(5 x 10⁻⁷ m)
L = 0.8 m
An object is inside a room that has a constant temperature of 289 K. Via radiation, the object emits three times as much power as it absorbs from the room. What is the temperature (in kelvins) of the object
Answer:
T_object = 380.35 K
Explanation:
From Stefan–Boltzmann law, the power output is given by the formula:
P = σAT⁴
where;
σ is Stefan-Boltzmann constant
A is area of the radiating surface.
T is temperature of the body
Now, we are told that the power the object emitted is 3 times the power absorbed from the room.
Thus, we have;
P_e = 3P_a
Where P_e is power emitted and P_a is power absorbed.
So, we have;
σA(T_object)⁴ = 3σA (T_room)⁴
σA will cancel out to give;
(T_object)⁴ = 3(T_room)⁴
We are given T_room = 289 K
Thus;
(T_object)⁴ = 3 × 289⁴
(T_object) = ∜(3 × 289⁴)
T_object = 380.35 K
Object A, with heat capacity CA and initially at temperature TA, is placed in thermal contact with object B, with heat capacity CB and initially at temperature TB. The combination is thermally isolated. If the heat capacities are independent of the temperature and no phase changes occur, the final temperature of both objects is
Answer:
d) (CATA + CBTB) / (CA + CB)
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the final temperature of both objects is shown below:-
We assume T be the final temperature
while m be the mass
So it will be represent
m CA (TA - T) = m CB (T - TB)
or we can say that
CATA - CA T = CB T - CBTB
or
(CA + CB) T = CATA + CBTB
or
T = (CA TA + CBTB) ÷ (CA + CB)
Therefore the right answer is d
The final temperature of both objects is [tex]T = \frac{C_AT_A+ C_BT_B}{C_B + C_A} \\\\[/tex].
The given parameters;
heat capacity of object A = CAinitial temperature of object A = TAheat capacity of object B = CBinitial temperature of object B = TBThe final temperature of both objects is calculated as follows;
heat lost by object A is equal to heat gained by object B
[tex]mC_A (T_A - T) = mC_B(T- T_B)\\\\C_AT_A-C_AT = C_BT - C_BT_B\\\\C_BT+C_AT = C_AT_A+ C_BT_B\\\\T(C_B + C_A) = C_AT_A+ C_BT_B \\\\T = \frac{C_AT_A+ C_BT_B}{C_B + C_A} \\\\[/tex]
Thus, the final temperature of both objects is [tex]T = \frac{C_AT_A+ C_BT_B}{C_B + C_A} \\\\[/tex].

A body is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 95m / s and after 7s it reaches its maximum height. How fast does it reach its maximum height? What was the maximum height reached?
Explanation:
u = 95 m/sec ( Initial speed)
t = 7 sec ( Time of ascent)
According to Equations of Motion :
[tex]s = ut - \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2} [/tex]
Max. Height = 95 * 7 - 4.9 * 49 = 424. 9 = 425 m
Answer:
332.5 m
Explanation:
At the maximum height, the velocity is 0.
Given:
v₀ = 95 m/s
v = 0 m/s
t = 7 s
Find: Δy
Δy = ½ (v + v₀) t
Δy = ½ (0 m/s + 95 m/s) (7 s)
Δy = 332.5 m

Complete question is;
A circuit consists of four 100-W lamps connected in parallel across a 230-V supply. Inadvertently, a voltmeter has been connected in series with the lamps. The resistance of the voltmeter is 1500 Ω and that of the lamps under the conditions stated is six times their value then burning normally. What will be the reading of the voltmeter?
Answer:
150.42 V
Explanation:
We are told that the circuit consists of four 100W lamps.
We know that Power is given by the equation;
P = V²/R
Thus;
R = V²/P
Now, we are told that the four lamps are connected in parallel across a 230V supply.
Thus, V = 230 V
So resistance, R = 230²/100
R = 529 Ω
We are told that the resistance of the lamps under the conditions stated is six times their value when burning normally.
Thus, total resistance of each lamp under the conditions = 529 × 6 = 3174 Ω
So, since they are connected in parallel, equivalent resistance for each lamp = 3174/4 = 793.5 Ω
Now, since this resistance is connected in series with the voltmeter resistance of 1500 Ω
Therefore, total circuit resistance = 1500 + 793.5 = 2293.5 Ω
Thus;
circuit current = 230/2293.5 = 0.100283 A
Now, according to Ohm’s law, voltage drop across the voltmeter = 1500 × 0.100283 ≈ 150.42V
CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW
A circuit consists of four 100-W lamps connected in parallel across a 230-V supply. Inadvertently, a voltmeter has been connected in series with the lamps. The resistance of the voltmeter is 1500 Ω and that of the lamps under the conditions stated is six times their value then burning normally. What will be the reading of the voltmeter?
Answer:
the reading of the voltmeter=150.4V
Explanation:
We can determine the wattage of a lamp using below expression:
: W = I² R....................eqn(1)
But fro ohms law V=IR
then I= V/R
If we substitute I into equation (1)
We have W= V²/R
But W= 100W
V= 230V
Then
W=220²/R
100 = 2302/R
R = 529 Ω
We can as well calculate the Resistance of each lamp under given condition that they are sixtimes their value when burning normally.
R = 6 × 529 = 3174 Ω
We can also calculate quivalent resistance of the abovefour lamps connected in parallel then
R = 3174/4
= 793.5 Ω
total circuit resistance can be calculated since we know that resistance is connected to voltmeter of 1500 Ω resistance in series arrangement
Then
total circuit resistance = 1500 + 793.5
= 2293.5 Ω
Then from ohms law again
I= V/R
circuit current = 230/2293.5 A
The reading of the voltage drop across the voltmeter
= 1500 × 230/2293.5
= 150.4V
QUESTION 27
The titanium shell of an SR-71 airplane would expand when flying at a speed exceeding 3 times the speed of sound. If the skin of the
plane is 400 degrees C and the linear coefficient of expansion for titanium is 5x10-6/C when flying at 3 times the speed of sound, how
much would a 10-meter long (originally at oC) portion of the airplane expand? Write your final answer in centimeters and show all of your
work.
Answer:
2 cm.
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include the following:
Original Length (L₁ ) = 10 m
Initial temperature (T₁) = 0°C
Final temperature (T₂) = 400°C
Linear expansivity (α) = 5×10¯⁶ /°C
Increase in length (ΔL) =..?
Next, we shall determine the temperature rise (ΔT).
This can be obtained as follow:
Initial temperature (T₁) = 0°C
Final temperature (T₂) = 400°C
Temperature rise (ΔT) =..?
Temperature rise (ΔT) = T₂ – T₁
Temperature rise (ΔT) = 400 – 0
Temperature rise (ΔT) = 400°C
Thus, we can obtain the increase in length of the airplane by using the following formula as illustrated below:
Linear expansivity (α) = increase in length (ΔL) /Original Length (L₁ ) × Temperature rise (ΔT)
α = ΔL/(L₁ × ΔT)
Original Length (L₁ ) = 10 m
Linear expansivity (α) = 5×10¯⁶ /°C
Temperature rise (ΔT) = 400°C
Increase in length (ΔL) =..?
α = ΔL/(L₁ × ΔT)
5×10¯⁶ = ΔL/(10 × 400)
5×10¯⁶ = ΔL/4000
Cross multiply
ΔL = 5×10¯⁶ × 4000
ΔL = 0.02 m
Converting 0.02 m to cm, we have:
1 m = 100 cm
Therefore, 0.02 m = 0.02 × 100 = 2 cm.
Therefore, the length of the plane will increase by 2 cm.
If Superman really had x-ray vision at 0.12 nm wavelength and a 4.1 mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could he distinguish villains from heroes, assuming that he needs to resolve points separated by 5.4 cm to do this?
Answer:
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m
Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m
Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m
Find:
Maximum altitude to see(L)
Computation:
Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)
D / L = 1.22(λ / d)
0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]
0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 1.47 × 10⁶
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

De Broglie equation is used to determine the wavelength of a particle (e.g electron) in motion. It is given as:
λ = [tex]\frac{h}{mv}[/tex]
where: λ is the required wavelength of the moving electron, h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the particle, v is its speed.
Given that: h = 6.63 ×[tex]10^{-34}[/tex] Js, m = 2.50 kg, v = 2.70 m/s, the wavelength, λ, can be determined as follows;
λ = [tex]\frac{h}{mv}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6.63*10^{-34} }{2.5*2.7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6.63 * 10^{-34} }{6.75}[/tex]
= 9.8222 × [tex]10^{-35}[/tex]
The wavelength of the object is 9.82 × [tex]10^{-35}[/tex] Hz.
