Daniel wants to find out if he can notice the difference in light intensity when he adds some lit candles to a set of 50 lit candles. When he adds 5 candles to the set, he notices the difference in intensity half the time. However, when he adds less than 5 candles to his set, he does not notice any difference in the intensity of light. In this scenario, Daniel's difference threshold for detecting the change in light intensity is ________ lit candles.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Explanation:

The light intensity may be defined as the strength of the light or the magnitude of its brightness that a source of light can produce.

The light threshold is the minimum intensity of the light that our eye can detect and the ability to adapt to darkness.

In the context, Daniel wishes to find if can notice the difference in the intensity of the light when he add 5 candles to the set of 50 candles.

He noticed that when he added 5 candles, he could notice the difference in the intensity and when he added less than 5 candles to the set of 50 candles he could not detect.

Thus, the difference threshold for Daniel to detect the change in the intensity of the light is 5 candles.

In a wire, when elongation is 4 cm energy stored is E. if it is stretched by 4 cm, then what amount of elastic potential energy will be stored in it?

Answers

Answer:

4E

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of an elastic material (e.g a spring, a wire), is the energy stored when the material is stretched or compressed. It is given by

U = [tex]\frac{1}{2}kx^2[/tex]               --------------------(i)

Where;

U = potential energy stored

k = spring constant of the material

x = elongation (extension or compression of the material).

From the first statement;

when elongation (x) is 4cm, energy stored (U) is E

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = [tex]\frac{1}{2}k(4)^2[/tex]

E = 8k

Make k subject of the formula    

k = [tex]\frac{E}{8}[/tex]   [measured in J/cm]

From the second statement;

It is stretched by 4cm.

This means that total elongation will be 4cm + 4cm = 8cm.

The potential energy stored will be found by substituting the value of x = 8cm and k = [tex]\frac{E}{8}[/tex] into equation (i) as follows;

U = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\frac{E}{8} (8)^2[/tex]  

U = [tex]\frac{1}{2}{8E}[/tex]

U = [tex]{4E}[/tex]

Therefore, the potential energy stored will now be 4 times the original one.

Kinetic energy represents the energy where an object or a particle should be the reason for its motion. It transfers energy than it should be done on an object by applying a net force, so the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy. In the case when the speed increased to 2v so the kinetic energy should also doubles.

An athlete running the velocity 3m/s due east is confronted with two trade winds. One wind travelling at 10m/s in a direction north 65degrees east and another wind travelling at 8m/s in a direction south 70degrees east. Find the resultant velocity and direction of the athlete

Answers

Answer:

v = 10.09 m / s,   8.78 North of East

Explanation:

The easiest way to solve this exercise is to decompose the velocities into a coordinate system, where the x-axis coincides with the West-East direction and the y-axis coincides with the South-North direction.

athlete's velocity v₁ₓ = 3 m / s

wind speed 2 v₂ = 10 m / s with direction 65 north of east

          sin 65 = v_{2y} / v₂

          cos 65 = v₂ₓ / v₂

          v_{2y} = v₂ sin 65

          v₂ₓ = v₂ cos 65

          v_{2y} = 10 sin 65 = 9.06 m / s

          v₂ₓ = 10 cos 65 = 4.23 m / s

wind speed 3 v₃ = 8 m / s with direction 70 south of east

This angle measured from the positive side of the x-axis is

          θ = 360 - 70

          θ = 290

          sin 290 = v_{3y} / v₃

          cos 290 = v₃ₓ / v₃

          v_{3y} = v₃ sin 290

          v₃ₓ = v₃ cos 290

           v_{3y} = 8 sin 290 = -7.52 m / s

          v₃ₓ = 8 cos 290 = 2.74 m / s

now we can find each component of the velocity

         

X axis

        vₓ = v₁ + v₂ₓ + v₃ₓ

        vₓ = 3 + 4.23 + 2.74

        vₓ = 9.97 m / s

Y axis  

        v_y = v_{2y} + v_{3y}

        v_y = 9.06 - 7.52

         v_y = 1.54 m / s

to find the modulus let's use the Pythagorean theorem

         v = [tex]\sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2 }[/tex]

         v = [tex]\sqrt{9.97^2 + 1.54^2}[/tex]

         v = 10.09 m / s

let's use trigonometry for the direction

         tan θ = v_y / vₓ

        θ = tan⁻¹ v_y / vₓ

        θ = tan-1 1.54 / 9/97

         θ = 8.78

which of the following is incorrect for nuclear forces
a) they are attractive in nature
b) they are short range forces
c) they obey inverse square law
d) they are non conservative in nature

Answers

Answer:

c they obey inverse square law

Answer is C .

The reason is as follows:
Nuclear forces don’t obey inverse square law.

Neither the strong nuclear force nor the weak nuclear force follow the inverse square law.

The weak nuclear force is a Yukawa-type force. Such a force is characterized by a potential in the form ∝−/

e

m
r
/
r
. At short range ( ≪1
m
r

1
) the exponential term is just 1
1
, so the potential becomes an inverse-
r
potential with an inverse square force law associated with it. So at very short (subatomic) ranges, the weak nuclear force is actually very similar to the electromagnetic force. But as soon as >1
m
r
>
1
, the force rapidly vanishes and becomes undetectable.

The strong nuclear force does not decrease with distance. Which means that as you “stretch” the bond between two quarks, for instance, more and more energy needs to be invested; until there is enough energy to create a new quark-antiquark pair, at which point the bond breaks. This limits the range of the strong nuclear force to subatomic scales, too.

A 15.0 kilogram cart initially traveling at 2.0 meters per second east accelerates uniformly at 0.75 meter per second squared east for 6.0
seconds. What is the speed of the cart at the end of this 6,0 second interval? Please include all work - including givens, formula, substitution,
and units for full credit. (2)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Since this is not parabolic motion, it is one-dimensional motion. Very simple. What we are given is

mass: 15.0 kg

initial velocity: 2.0 m/s

acceleration: .75 m/s/s

time: 6.0 seconds

Since we are looking for final velocity, the equation we need for this is

v = v0 + at that says final velocity is equal to the initial velocity plus the acceleration of the object times how long it travels. We don't have a need for the mass here at all.

[tex]v=2.0\frac{m}{s}+.75\frac{m}{s^2}(6.0s)[/tex]

Notice that one of the seconds labels to the right of the plus sign cancel out, leaving us with like units...which we HAVE to have if we want to add.

Simplifying a bit gives us

v = 2.0 m/s + 4.5 m/s so

v = 6.5 m/s

A piece of iron has a mass of 30 g and its volume is 6.2 cm3. What is its density?

Answers

Answer:

Density = 4.84 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 30 g

Volume = 6.2 cm³

To find the density of the piece of iron;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex]Density = \frac{30}{6.2}[/tex]

Density = 4.84 g/cm³

Answer:

m=6.25kg

Explanation:

50=m×8

make m subject of the formula...

m=50/8

m=6.25kg

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 6.25 \ kilograms}}[/tex]

Explanation:

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

[tex]F= m \times a[/tex]

We know the force is 50 Newtons and the acceleration is 8 meters per second squared. Let's convert the units to make the problem and unit cancellation easier.

1 Newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per square second (1 kg*m/s²), so the force of 50 N is equal to 50 kg*m/s².

Now we know 2 values:

F= 50 kg*m/s²a= 8 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]50 \ kg *m/s^2= m \times 8 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Since we are solving for the mass, we must isolate the variable, m. It is being multiplied by 8 meters per square second and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 8 m/s².

[tex]\frac {50 \ kg *m/s^2}{8 \ m/s^2}= \frac{m \times 8 \ m/s^2}{8 \ m/s^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac {50 \ kg *m/s^2}{8 \ m/s^2}= m[/tex]

The units of meters per square second (m/s²) cancel.

[tex]\frac {50 \ kg }{8 }=m[/tex]

[tex]6.25 \ kg =m[/tex]

The mass is 6.25 kilograms.

Complete question:

(b) How much energy must be supplied to boil 2kg of water? providing that the specific latent heat of vaporization of water is 330 kJ/kg. The initial temperature of the water is 20 ⁰C

Answer:

The energy that must be supplied to boil the given mass of the water is 672,000 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of water, m = 2 kg

heat of vaporization of water, L =  330 kJ/kg

initial temperature of water, t = 20 ⁰C

specific heat capacity of water, c = 4200 J/kg⁰C

Assuming no mass of the water is lost through vaporization, the energy needed to boil the given water is calculated as;

Q = mc(100 - 20)

Q = 2 x 4200 x (80)  

Q = 672,000 J

Q = 672,000 J

Q = 672,000 J

Therefore, the energy that must be supplied to boil the given mass of the water is 672,000 J

What is the law of Conservation of Momentum?

The principle of the law of conservation of momentum states that if any two objects undergo collision, then the total momentum of the objects before and after the collision will be the same if there is no external force acting on the colliding objects.

The Law of Conservation of Momentum has the equation which is:

m₁ × u₁ + m₂ × u₂ = m₁ × v₁ + m₂ × v₂

where, m₁ = mass of object 1,

u₁ = initial velocity of object 1 before collision,

m₂ = mass of object 2,

v₁ = final velocity of object 1 after collision,

v₂ = final velocity of the object 2 after collision.

0.50 × 5 + 0.50 × 0 = 0.50 × 2 + 0.50 × v₂

2.5 + 0 = 1.0 + 0.50 × v₂

2.5 - 1.0 = 0.50 × v₂

1.5 = 0.50 × v₂

1.5/ 0.5 = v₂

v₂ = 3m/s

Therefore, the correct option is D.
