The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.12 × 10^16 m away. How long would it take light from Alpha Centauri to reach our solar system if the speed of light is 3.00 × 10^8 m/s? (Provide an answer in both seconds and in years.)


(According to the textbook the answer is 4.35 years, i'm just not sure how to get there as I keep getting a different answer)

Answers

Answer 1

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (4.12x10^16 m) / (3 x10^8 m/s)

Time = 1.37 x 10^8 seconds

Divide the seconds by 86,400 to get days. Then divide the days by 365 to get years.

Time = about 4.35 years

Determine the net electric field acting at q1

Answers

Answer:

E≅1.2×10^7 N/C

Explanation:

First off I'd like to say that I'm taking "net electric field" to mean that they don't want this answer to be put into vector component form and instead want magnitudes. Sometimes the wording of these questions throws me off, so sorry ahead of time if that's what they want from you!

Edit: I ended up adding it anyways ;P

Since we are observing the net electric field acting at q1, we need to use the formula:  [tex]E=k\frac{q}{r^{2} }[/tex]

And since we are observing the effects of multiple charges at once...

E=ΣE, which just means wee need to add all the observed electric fields together:

ΣE= [tex]k\frac{q2}{r^{2} } +k\frac{q3}{r^{2} }[/tex]

Since we are observing [static] electric fields here, we don't actually need q1's charge. (Though if you wanted to find the net force you would.) Now, before we start plugging values in, let's acknowledge what we know. We know that:

q2=q3they are the same distance from q1

These are actually really nice to have, because now we can simplify our expression to:

[tex]E=k\frac{2q}{r^{2} }[/tex]

Now let's plug in our values and get an answer out.

E= 2(8.99×10^9)(4×10^-5)/(0.24)

Plugging all that in, I get:

E≅1.2×10^7 N/C

If you end up needing the net force, F=(q1)(E). That is, you just multiply the electric field by the value of q1. And again, if your teacher wants the answer in vector component form, then the answer will look different.

Let me know what doesn't make sense, or if I got something wrong. Good luck with AP Phy.!

Edit: I put the component form for my answer in the attachment. I also noticed a small calculator related error in my original answer. I updated that to match the new one.

A student throws a 120 g snowball at 7.5 m/s at the side of the schoolhouse, where it hits and sticks. What is the magnitude of the average force on the wall if the duration of the collision is 0.15 s

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of snowball, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

velocity of the snowball, v = 7.5 m/s

duration of the collision between the snowball and the wall, t = 0.15 s

Magnitude of the average force can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

a is acceleration = v / t

a = 7.5 / 0.15

a = 50 m/s²

F = ma

F = 0.12 x 50

F = 6 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Choose the friction which opposes the relative motion between surfaces in motion a.Static friction b.Kinetic friction c.Sliding friction d.Both kinetic and sliding friction

Answers

Answer:

d. Both kinetic and sliding friction

Explanation:

Kinetic friction, commonly known as sliding friction, happens when a body with its surfaces in contact is in relative motion with another. It's the frictional force slowing it down, and finally stopping a moving body. One can describe sliding friction as the resistance any two objects create while sliding against each other. It is often documented as the force required to hold a surface moving along another surface. It is determined by two variables- one is material of the object and another is its weight.

Even after the body stops moving in a collision, the internal organs are still moving.

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The bodies internal organs move around, even after a collision that may impact your skeletal system.

When a collision occurs and the body comes to a sudden stop, the internal organs can continue to move due to their inertia. Yes, that statement is generally true.

Inertia is the property of an object that resists changes in its state of motion. The internal organs of the body, such as the heart, lungs, liver, and others, are not directly attached to the skeletal structure and are instead supported by connective tissues and surrounded by fluids.

During a collision, the body experiences a rapid deceleration or change in velocity. While the external motion of the body may come to a stop, the internal organs, due to their inertia, continue to move forward momentarily until they are acted upon by internal forces. This phenomenon is known as "organ motion" or "organ inertia."

In situations where high-impact collisions occur, such as in car accidents or contact sports, the continued motion of internal organs can result in serious injuries, even when external signs of trauma may be minimal.

How does this change in motion affect the temperature of the system? A. The temperature of the system did not change. The speed of the particles has no effect on the temperature, only the type of atom affects the temperature. B. The temperature of the system is higher now than it was initially. Slower moving particles result in a higher temperature for the system. C. The temperature of the system did not change. The speed of the particles does not affect temperature, the number of particles affects the temperature. D. The temperature of the system is lower now than it was initially. Faster moving particles result in a higher temperature for the system.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

With an increase in temperature, the particles increase kinetic energy and move quicker. The normal speed of the particles relies upon their mass just as the temperature – heavier particles move more gradually than lighter ones at a similar temperature.

The temperature increase in this system since the average kinetic energy of the particles increases and particles move quickly. And after some time the temperature of the system is lower now than it was initially.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

The impact of the change in motion should be option D.

Impact on the temperature:

In the case when there is an increase in temperature, the particles should increase kinetic energy and move faster. The normal speed of the particles believes their mass is like the temperature. The temperature rises in this system because the average kinetic energy of the particles should rised and particles move faster.

I NEEED HELP!!!!! Upon using Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment to obtain measurements, the following data were obtained. Use these data to determine the wavelength of light being used to create the interference pattern.
Do this using three different methods.
The angle to the eighth maximum is 1.12°.
The distance from the slits to the screen is 302.0 cm.
The distance from the central maximum to the fifth minimum is 3.33cm.
The distance between the slits is 0.000250 m

Answers

Answer:

The wavelength is approximately 611 nm

Explanation:

We can use the formula for the condition of maximum of interference given by:

[tex]d\,sin(\theta)=m\,\lambda\\(0.000250\,\,m)\,\,sin(1.12^o)=8\,\lambda\\\lambda=\frac{1}{8} \,(0.000250\,\,m)\,\,sin(1.12^o)\\\lambda \approx 610.8\,\,nm[/tex]

We can also use the formula for the distance from the central maximum to the 5th minimum by first finding the tangent of the angle to that fifth minimum:

[tex]tan(\theta)=\frac{y}{D}\\ tan(\theta)=\frac{0.0333}{3.02} =0.011026[/tex]

and now using it in the general formula for minimum:

[tex]d\,sin(\theta)\approx d\,tan(\theta)=(m-\frac{1}{2} )\,\lambda\\\lambda\approx 0.00025\,(0.011026)/(4.5)\,\,m\\\lambda\approx 612.55\,\,nm[/tex]

Answer:

The correct answer is  [tex]6.1\times10^{-7}\:m[/tex]

Explanation:

The distance from the central maxima to 5th minimum is:

[tex]x_{5n}-x_{0} =3.33\:cm=0.033\:m[/tex]

The distance between the slits and the screen:

[tex]L = 302\:cm = 3.02\:m[/tex]

Distance between 2 slits: [tex]d = 0.00025\:m[/tex]

[tex](n-\frac{1}{2})\lambda=\frac{d(x_n)}{L}[/tex]

For fifth minima, n = 5... so we have:

[tex]x_{5n}=\frac{9\lambda L}{2d}[/tex]

For central maxima, n = 0... so we have:

[tex]x_{0}=\frac{n\lambda L}{d}=0[/tex]

So the distance from central maxima to 5th minimum is:

[tex]\frac{9\lambda \:L}{2d}-0=0.033[/tex]   (Putting the values, we get):

[tex]\Rightarrow \lambda = 6.1\times 10^{-7}\:m[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

82.76m

Explanation:

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]    (1)

C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)

you solve for r in the equation (1):

[tex]r=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{4*10^7m}{2\pi}=6,366,197.724m[/tex]

Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:

[tex]L=Lo[1+\alpha \Delta T][/tex]         (2)

L: final length of the tube = ?

Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m

ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C

α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

[tex]L=(4*10^7m)(1+(13*10^{-6}/ \°C)(1\°C))=40,000,520m[/tex]

With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:

[tex]r'=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{40,000,520m}{2\pi}=6,366,280.484m[/tex]

Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:

r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m

Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m

Danny lowers the sails on his boat. He paddles upstream at 19 km/hr. The current is still running downstream at 15 km/hr. What is the actual velocity of the boat?

Answers

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction  

Answer:

since the direction of his paddles is opposite of the the direction of the current, so the actual velocity can be calculated by subtracting the velocity of current to to his velocity when paddling

v = 19 - 15

v = 4 since the answer is positive, then the direction is upstream

(i) Calculate the time in which the electron would acquire a velocity double of its initial velocity. (ii) How much distance the electron would cover in this tim

Answers

Answer:

(i)    t = 5s

(ii)    x = 3.75*10^5 m

Explanation:

(i) To calculate the time that the electron takes to reach twice the value of its initial velocity, you use the following formula:

[tex]v=v_o+at[/tex]         (1)

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 5*10^4 m/s

v: final velocity of the electron = 2vo = 1*10^5 m/s

a: acceleration of the electron = 1*10^4 m/s^2

You solve the equation (1) for t, and replace the values of the parameters:

[tex]t=\frac{v-v_o}{a}=\frac{1*10^5m/s-5*10^4m/s}{1*10^4m/s^2}=5s[/tex]

The electron takes 5s to reach twice its initial velocity.

(ii) The distance traveled by the electron in such a time is:

[tex]x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]          (2)

you replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

[tex]x=(5*10^4m/s)(5s)+\frac{1}{2}(1*10^4m/s^2)(5s)^2\\\\x=3.75*10^5m[/tex]

The distance traveled by the electron is 3.75*10^3m/s

arrow shot at 30m/s and 45 degrees with horizontal.

Hit bull's eye after 2 seconds.

Find horizontal and vertical displacements.

Vx = 30cos(30) m/seconds  constant  velocity

therefore

Dx = Vx*t = 30cos(30) m/s *  2 s = 60 cos (45) = 42.426 m

Vy = 30 sin(45) m/s  

Dy = Vy*t + a(t^2) /2  

= 30*sin(45) -9.81(2^2)/2        (g is accelerating downwards, so negative)

= 1.593 m

-- If the bike started out with no speed, and its average speed was 3 m/s, then it must have been moving at 6 m/s at the end of the push.

-- If its speed increased from zero to 6 m/s in 5 seconds, then its acceleration was (6m/s / 5 sec) = 1.2 m/s²

-- The bike's weight is 100N.  

(mass) x (gravity) = 100N

Bikemass = (100N) / (9.8 m/s²)

Bikemass = 10.2 kilograms

-- F = m A

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (10.2 kg) x (1.2 m/s²)

Force = 12.24 N

-- Work = (force) x (distance)

Work = (12.24 N) x (15 m)

Work = 183.67 Joules

-- Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

Power = (183.67 joules) / (5 seconds)

Power = 36.73 watts
