The Sun travels in a circular orbit at a velocity of 220 km/second at a distance of 8.5 kiloparsecs from the center of the Galaxy (note that these numbers are slightly different from those in your book). Calculate the number of years it takes the Sun to complete an orbit (i.e., the circumference of a circle with an 8.5 kiloparsec radius) around the center of the Galaxy. (There are 3.1 x 1013 kilometers/parsec and 3.2 x 107 seconds/year.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.353 × 10⁵ years

Explanation:

Since speed, v = distance/time

time, t = distance/speed

The distance, d = circumference of orbit = 2πr where r = radius of orbit = 8.5 kiloparsecs = 8.5 kiloparsecs × 3.1 × 10¹³ kilometers/parsec = ‭26.35‬ × 10¹³ kilometers and velocity of sun, v = 220 km/s

So, the time it takes to complete one orbit, T is

T = 2πr/v

= 2π × 26.35‬ × 10¹³ km/220 km/s

= 165.562  × 10¹³ km ÷ 220 km/s

= 0.753 × 10¹³ s

= 7.53 × 10¹² s

We now convert T to years

T = 7.53 × 10¹² s ÷ 3.2 × 10⁷ seconds/year

T = 2.353 × 10⁵ years

A quantum dot may be modeled as an electron in a spherical well with perfectly reflecting walls. Design a quantum dot whose characteristic frequency of emission is 10 GHz, where characteristic frequency corresponds to decay from the first excited state to the ground state. In other words, obtain the radius a of the spherical cavity that has this property

Answers

Answer:

radius = 37.69 mm

Explanation:

Calculate the radius a of the spherical cavity that has this property

Frequency of emission = 10 GHz

This problem is similar to infinite spherical wall potential

first step:

Express the energy eigenvalue of the system : [tex]E_{100} =E_{Is} = \frac{9.87h^2}{2ma^2}[/tex]

First excited state energy can be expressed as : E[tex]_{IP}[/tex] = 20.19 h^2 / 2ma^2

Given that the frequency of emission (γ )   = 10 GHz

next step :

calculate the energy of emitted photon ( E ) = h γ

= 6.626 * 10^-36 * 10 * 10^9

= 6.626 * 10^-24 joules

E[tex]_{IP}[/tex]  - E[tex]_{IS}[/tex] = 6.626 * 10^-24

∴ a^2 = 1.42 * 10^-13  m^2

hence a = √ 1.42 * 10^-13 m^2   = 37.69 * 10^-6 m ≈  37.69 mm

If the third harmonic produced by a musical instrument is 300 HZ, then the first overtone will be?​

Answers

Answer:

the first overtone is 200 Hz

Explanation:

The computation of the first overtone would be given below:

The following formula should be applied

n_1 = n_3 ÷ 3

= 300 ÷ 3

= 100 Hz

Now n_2 is

= 2 × 100

= 200 Hz.

Hence, the first overtone is 200 Hz

we simply applied the above formula and the same would be relevant

Calculate the induced electric field in a 54-turn coil with a diameter of 19.5 cm that is placed in a spatially uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.5 T so that the face of the coil and the magnetic field are perpendicular. This magnetic field is reduced to zero in 0.1 seconds. Assume that the magnetic field is cylindrically symmetric with respect to the central axis of the coil.

Answers

Answer:

E = 3.049 N/C

Explanation:

Induced electric field = e/2 *(pi) *r

Induced electric field = e /(3.14 *19.5)  - Eq (1)

e = (pi)r^2*B/t

= 3.14 * (19.5/2*100)^2 * 0.50 T/ 0.1

= 1.867 V

Substituting this value in equation 1, we get –  

E = 1.867 V/(3.14 *19.5/100)  

E = 3.049 N/C

The 6kg box is pushed to the left at a constant speed. The coefficient of friction is 0.78. Solve for the amount of force with which the hand pushes the box.

Answers

Answer:

45.864N

Explanation:

Using the formula

F = nR

n is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

R = mg

F = nmg

F = 0.78 * 6 * 9.8

F = 45.864N

Hence the amount of force with which the hand pushes the box is 45.864N

A car starts from rest and reaches a speed of 25m/s in 4 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Also, Calculate the distance the object traveled,

Can y’all help me with this one

Answers

Answer:

a = 6.25 m/s/s

d = 50 m

Explanation:

Given:

v1 (initial velocity)= 0 m/s (cz its at rest)

v2 (final velocity)= 25 m/s

t = 4s

a = ?

d = ?

to determine  acceleration

a = (v2 - v1)/ t

= (25m/s - 0m/s)/4s

= 6.25 m/s/s

to determine distance traveled

d = 1/2(v1 + v2)t

=1/2(0m/s+25m/s)(4s)

=50 m

Answer:

Answer in explanation.

Explanation:

Using Equation

[tex]v = u + at[/tex]

where v is the final velocity

u is initial velocity

a is acceleration

t is time taken

given u = 0, v = 25, t = 4,

[tex]25 = 0 + 4a \\ 4a = 25 \\ a = 6.25 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } [/tex]

Now, using equation

[tex]v {}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2as[/tex]

where v and u remains the same, a = 6.25 and s is the distance,

[tex](25) {}^{2} = \: {0}^{2} + 2(6.25)s \\ 12.5s = 625 \\ s = \frac{625}{12.5} \\ s = 50m[/tex]

The head scale of a screw gauge contains 100 divisions and it's pitch is 1mm. what is the least count of the screw gauge​

Answers

Answer:

0.01 mm

Explanation:

The least count of the screw gauge = pitch/number of divisions on circular scale

Pitch = 1 mm and number of divisions = 100

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

least count of the screw gauge = pitch/number of divisions on circular scale =  1 mm/100 = 0.01 mm

Water flows through a garden hose which is attached to a nozzle. The water flows through hose with a speed of 1.81 m/s and through the nozzle with a speed of 18.3 m/s. Calculate the maximum height (in m) to which water could be squirted if it emerges from the nozzle and emerges with the nozzle removed. (a) Emerges from the nozzle. m (b) Emerges with the nozzle removed, assuming the same flow rate. m

Answers

Answer:

a) 17.086m

b) 0.1671 m

Explanation:

Given data: speed of water through the hose  = 1.81 m/s

through the nozzle = 18.3 m/s

We know that maximum height of an object with upward velocity v is given by,

a) H = v^2/2g

where H is the maximum height water emerges  

= 18.3^2/(2×9.8) = 17.086 m answer

b) Again,  

H = v^2/2g

= 1.81^2/(2×9.8) = 0.1671 m

A small car is traveling at a speed of 60 mph on the highway. In the next lane, a large passenger bus is traveling at the same speed.

Answers

Answer:

A. The bus has more kinetic energy than the car.

Explanation:

As we know that

Kinetic energy is the amount of energy possessed by the body at the time when it is in motion.  

Also,

Kinetic energy = 1 ÷ 2mv²

Here m denotes the mass of the body

and v denotes the velocity of the body.

So it would be based on the mass & velocity of the body

As if the passenger bus contains more kinetic energy as compared to the car because of the big mass

A 2-kg ball is thrown at a speed of ____, exhibits 25j of kinetic energy.

Answers

Answer:

A 2-kg ball is thrown at a speed of 5 m/s, exhibits 25 J of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a ball, m = 2 kg

Kinetic energy of the ball, K = 25 J

We need to find the speed of the ball. The formula for the kinetic energy is given by :

[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2K}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 25}{2}} \\\\v=5\ m/s[/tex]

So,

A 2-kg ball is thrown at a speed of 5 m/s, exhibits 25 J of kinetic energy.
