At a beach the light is generally partially polarized due to reflections off sand and water. At a particular beach on a particular day near sundown, the horizontal component of the electric field vector is 2.8 times the vertical component. A standing sunbather puts on polarizing sunglasses; the glasses eliminate the horizontal field component. (a) What fraction of the light intensity received before the glasses were put on now reaches the sunbather's eyes

Answers

Answer:

the glasses received 0.1131 of the total intensity

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the intensity is proportional to the electric field amplitude;

now, we assign the electric field of 1 to the vertical component and an electric field of 2.8 to the horizontal component

so;

Horizontal intensity =  1² = 1

Vertical intensity = 2.8² = 7.84

so total intensity = 1 + 7.84 = 8.84

fraction of the light intensity received before the glasses were put on now reaches the sunbather's eyes,

since the sunglasses blocks the horizontal intensity so only the the vertical intensity goes through;

hence

⇒ 1 / 8.84 = 0.1131 of the total intensity

Therefore, the glasses received 0.1131 of the total intensity

Four monitoring wells have been placed around a leaking underground storage tank. The wells are located at the corners of a 1-ha square. The total piezometric head in each of the wells is as follows: NE corner, 30.0 m; SE corner, 30.0 m; SW corner, 30.6 m: NW corner 30.6 m. Determine the magnitude and direction of the hydraulic gradient.

Answers

Answer:

direction : West to East

magnitude : 6.0 * 10^-3

Explanation:

Given data :

Four ( 4 ) monitoring wells

location of wells = corners of 1-ha square

Total piezometric head in each well ;

NE corner = 30.0 m ;

SE corner = 30.0 m;

SW corner = 30.6 m;

NW corner = 30.6 m.

Calculate for  the magnitude and direction of the hydraulic gradient

first step ; calculate for area

Area = ( 1 -ha  ) ( 10^4 m^2/ha )

        = 1 * 10^4 m^2

Distance between the wells = length of side

      = √( 1 * 10^4 ) m^2

      = 100 m

Direction of Hydraulic gradient is from west to east because the total piezometric head in the west = Total piezometric head in the east

Next determine The magnitude of the hydraulic gradient

= ( 30.6 - 30 ) / 100

= 6.0 * 10^-3

A capacitor is made from two hollow, coaxial, iron cylinders, one inside the other. The inner cylinder is negatively charged and the outer is positively charged; the magnitude of the charge on each is 11.5 pC. The inner cylinder has a radius of 0.550 mm, the outer one has a radius of 7.20 mm, and the length of each cylinder is 13.0 cm.
(a) What is the capacitance?
(b) What applied potential difference is necessary to produce these charges on the cylinders?

Answers

Answer:

A)2.811 × 10^-12 F

B)4.09V

Explanation:

(a) What is the capacitance?

Capacitance of coaxial cylinder can be determined using below expresion

C= (2π ε0 L)/ Ln[ rb/ra]

Where

ε0= permittivity of free space= 8.85×10^−12 Fm^-1

L= length of each cylinder =13.0 cm= 13×10^-2m

rb= radius of outer cylinder= 7.20 mm= 7.20×10^-3m

ra=radius of inner cylinder=0.550 mm= 0.550×10^-3 m

If we substitute the values we have,

C= (2π ε0 L)/ Ln[ rb/ra]

C= ( 2 × π × 8.85×10^−12 ×13×10^-2) / Ln[

7.20×10^-3/0.550×10^-3]

C=( 7.2288×10^-12 )/2.5729

C=2.811 × 10^-12 F

B) (b) What applied potential difference is necessary to produce these charges on the cylinders?

Vba= Q/C

Where Vba=potential difference

Q= charge on each = 11.5 pC. = 11.5×10^-12

C= capacitance= 2.811 × 10^-12 F

If we substitute the values we have

Vba=(11.5×10^-12)/2.811 × 10^-12

A student sets up a standing wave of wavelength 6 meters in a coiled spring by moving his hand up and down twice each second. What is the velocity of the wave?

Answers

Answer:

Velocity = 12 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Wavelength = 6 meters

Period = 0.5 seconds. This is due to the fact that the student is moving his hand up and down twice each second.

To find the velocity;

Velocity = wavelength * frequency

But, frequency = 1/period

Frequency = 1/0.5

Frequency = 2

Substituting the values into the velocity formula, we have;

Velocity = 6 * 2

Velocity = 12 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the wave is 12 meters per seconds.

Answers

Answer:

R = 46,25 (Ω)

L = 0,07363 (H)

C = 2,7 *10⁻⁶ (F)

Explanation:

Statement problem does not specify if  160 (V) is peak voltage or RMS value. If 160 (V) is the peak value then for a sinusoidal wave,  RMS value is  V(rms) = 160 /√3

V(rms) =  92,49 (V)

In each branch: we have

V = I*Z         V = voltage through the impedance in (V) , I current in (A)

and Z impedance in Ω

Resistor case    Z = R  then V = 92,49 = 2 * R

R = 92,49/2       R = 46,25 (Ω)

Inductor case   |Z| = wL    Then Z = 2*π*f*L   V = 0,8 * |wl|

Inductor L in (H)       |wL| * 0,8 = 92,49   |wL| = 92,5/0,8    w = 2*π*f   2*3,14*250= 1570

1570*L = 92,49/0,8

L = 0,07363 (H)

In the case of the capacitor

|Z|  = 1/wc    = 1/1570*c

The current is 2 + 0,8 = 2,8          2,8 - 2,5 = 0,3 (A)

Again  V = I*Z        92,49 = 0,3 /1570*C

C = 0,3 / 1570*92,49

C = 2,7 *10⁻⁶ (F)

Suppose that 2 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 24 cm to a length of 42 cm. (a) How much work is needed to stretch the spring from 32 cm to 34 cm

Answers

Answer:

Workdone = 0.025 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Workdone = 2J

Extension = 42 - 24 = 18 cm to meters = 18/100 = 0.18m

The workdone to stretch a string is given by the formula;

Workdone = ½ke²

Where;

k is the constant of elasticity.

e is the extension of the string.

We would solve for string constant, k;

2 = ½*k*0.18²

2 = ½*k*0.0324

Cross-multiplying, we have;

4 = 0.0324k

k = 4/0.0324

k = 123.46 N/m

a. To find the workdone when e = 32, 34.

Extension = 34 - 32 = 2 to meters = 2/100 = 0.02m

Workdone = ½*123.46*0.02²

Workdone = 61.73 * 0.0004

Workdone = 0.025 Joules

Therefore, the amount of work (in J) needed to stretch the spring from 32 cm to 34 cm is 0.67.

What is electricity ?

Electricity is a collection of physical phenomena related with the presence and motion of matter having an electric charge. Both electricity and magnetism are connected to the phenomena of electromagnetic, as defined by Maxwell's equations. Lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges, and other frequent occurrences are all connected to electricity.

An electric field is created when either a positive or negative electric charge is present. The movement of electric charges results in an electric current and a magnetic field. In most applications, a force of magnitude determined by Coulomb's law operates on a charge. Volts are commonly used to measure electric potential.

Hence option C is correct.

a) quantity to be measured is the height to which the body rises

b) weighing the body , rule or fixed tape measure

c)   Em₁ = m g h

d) deformation of the body or it is transformed into heat during the crash

Explanation:

In this exercise of falling and rebounding a body, we must know the speed of the body when it reaches the ground, which can be calculated using the conservation of energy, since the height where it was released is known.

a) What quantities must you know to calculate the energy after the bounce?

The quantity to be measured is the height to which the body rises, we assume negligible air resistance.

So let's use the conservation of energy

starting point. Soil

          Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. Higher

          Em_f = U = mg h

         Em₀ = Em_f

         Em₀ = m g h₀

b) to have the measurements, we begin by weighing the body and calculating its mass, the height was measured with a rule or fixed tape measure and seeing how far the body rises.

c) We use conservation of energy

starting point. Soil

          Em₁ = K = ½ m v²

final point. Higher

          Em_f = U = mg h

         Em₁ = Em_f

         Em₁ = m g h

d) to determine if the energy is conserved, the arrival energy and the output energy must be compared.

There are two possibilities.

* that have been equal therefore energy is conserved

* that have been different (most likely) therefore the energy of the rebound is less than the initial energy, it cannot be stored in the possible deformation of the body or it is transformed into heat during the crash

The surveillance camera on a satellite at 250 km above the earth is taking pictures of the earth surface. Suppose that the imaging wavelength is 550 nm and the diameter of the camera lens is 40 mm. (a) Calculate the angular resolution of the camera. (b) Suppose that the headlights of a car on the earth are 1.6 m apart, can the camera resolve them

Answers

Answer:

a) θ = 1.67 10⁻⁵ m,  b) Consequently we must affirm that the vehicle headlights cannot resolve.

Explanation:

a) To find the resolution of the camera we use the Rayleigh criterion for diffraction

            a sin θ = m λ

where m = 1 for the first zero of the slit

we must remember that the angles in the experiments are measured in radians and are very small

            sin θ = θ

we substitute

             θ = [tex]\frac{\lambda}{a}[/tex]

this expression is for a slit, in the case of circular openings the expression must be solved in polar coordinates giving

             θ = [tex]1.22 \ \frac{\lambda}{D}[/tex]

where D diameters of the opening

             

let's calculate

            θ = [tex]1.22 \ \frac{550 \ 10^{-9}}{ 40\ 10^{-3}}[/tex]

           θ = 1.67 10⁻⁵ m

b) let's use trigonometry to find the separation distance on earth

            tan θ = y / x

            y = x tan θ

let's calculate

               

remember that the angles must be in radians

                y = 250 10³ tan 1.67 10⁻0-5

                y = 4.18 m

as they indicate that the separation of the headlights is y = 1.6m,

we see that this separation is greater than the separation distance separation.

Consequently we must affirm that the vehicle headlights cannot resolve.

b) N = 560 N, c)  fr = 138.56 N, d)  μ = 0.247

Explanation:

a) In the attachment we can see the free body diagram of the system

b) Let's write Newton's second law on the y-axis

              N + T_y -W = 0

              N = W -T_y

let's use trigonometry for tension

             sin θ = T_y / T

             cos θ = Tₓ / T

             T_y = T sin θ

             Tₓ = T cos θ

we substitute

              N = W - T sin 30

we calculate

              N = 640 - 160 sin 30

              N = 560 N

c) as the system goes at constant speed the acceleration is zero

X axis

              Tₓ - fr = 0

               Tₓ = fr

we substitute and calculate

              fr = 160 cos 30

              fr = 138.56 N

d) the friction force has the formula

             fr = μ N

             μ = fr / N

we calculate

             μ = 138.56 / 560

             μ = 0.247
