The human eye can distinguish two car headlights 2.0m apart when the angular separation is about 0.03°.
What is diffraction?Diffraction is the bending of waves around an obstacle or through an opening. When light or sound waves encounter an obstacle, the waves are scattered and spread out in a pattern known as a diffraction pattern. The size and shape of the obstacle affects the amount of diffraction that occurs. The same is true for an opening, such as a slit or a hole, which causes the waves to spread out in multiple directions. Diffraction is an important concept in many areas of physics, such as optics, acoustics, and quantum mechanics.
This is calculated by using the formula θ = 1.22λ/D, where θ is the angular resolution, λ is the wavelength of the light, and D is the diameter of the eye pupil. Assuming a light wavelength of 560nm and an eye pupil diameter of 6mm, the angular resolution is 0.03°.
The minimum angular separation an eye could resolve when viewing two stars, considering only diffraction effects, is 0.0003°. This is calculated using the same formula as before, only with the wavelength set to 550nm.
In reality, the minimum angular separation is about 1′ of arc, which is significantly larger than the answer calculated in part b). This is because diffraction effects are the only factor taken into account in part b), while in reality, other factors such as the eye's optical aberrations, the eye's accommodation, and atmospheric turbulence all play a role in limiting the resolution of the eye. Additionally, the eye's acuity is not constant and can be affected by fatigue and other factors. Thus, the true angular resolution of the eye is much lower than the theoretical limit calculated in part b).

. You have two carts, one which is empty and has mass m. The second cart is of the same mass but loaded with twice the mass of the empty cart i.e. it has mass 3m. You push each of them (one at a time) with the same constant force, over the same distance, starting from rest. After you have pushed them through this distance, you remove the force. How will the kinetic energy of the loaded and empty carts compare to each other
Answer:
Their kinetic energies would be the same
Explanation:
This is because, since the force, F acting on them moves the same distance, d, the work done by the force is W = Fd.
Now, from work-kinetic energy principles,
W = ΔK where ΔK = change in kinetic energy of the carts.
Since the work-done is the same for both carts, their change in kinetic energies would also be the same.
Since they start from rest, ΔK = K' - K = K' - 0 = K'
So, the kinetic energies of the carts would be the same

What is the final speed of the lighter 2.0 kg train car?
Answer:
it’s 2.5 m/s
Explanation:
i’m too lazy but trust
This question can be solved by using the law of conservation of momentum.
The final speed of the lighter 2 kg train is " 2.5 ".
When two moving objects collide with each other, the law of conservation of momentum can be applied to them as follows:
[tex]m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2[/tex]
where,
m₁ = mass of heavier train = 3 kg
m₂ = mass of lighter train = 2 kg
u₁ = initial speed of heavier train = 2.8
u₂ = initial speed of lighter train = 1.6
v₁ = final speed of heavier train = 2.2
v₂ = final speed of lighter train = ?
Therefore,
(3 kg)(2.8) + (2 kg)(1.6) = (3 kg)(2.2) + (2 kg)(v₂)
[tex]v_2 = \frac{5 kg}{2 kg}[/tex]

A 14.0-g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 90-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay sticks to the block. After impact, the block slides 7.50 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction between block and surface is 0.650, what was the speed of the clay immediately before impact
Answer:the speed of the clay immediately before impact =72.58m/s
Explanation:
Given that
mass of the stick clay, M₁= 14.0 g = 0.014 kg
mass of the block ,M₂= 90 g = 0.09 kg
Therefore the total mass= (M₁+M₂) = 104g = 0.104 kg
Also, distance, s = 7.50 m
coefficient of friction μ= 0.650
Acceleration due to gravity ,g = 9.8 m/s²
Using the Work- Energy theorem,
change in kinetic energy = work done
final kinetic energy(K₂) - initial kinetic energy(K₁) = force, F x coefficient of friction, μ x distance,s
The final kinetic energy is zero because after the impact, the block with the clay comes to a stop after 7.50m
kinetic energy =Work done
0.5 x m x v²=coefficient of friction, μ x force(F) x distance,s(Since force = m g )
0.5 x m x v²= μ x m x g x s
0.5 x 0.104 x v² = 0.650 x 0.104x 9.8 x 7.5
v²= 0.650 x 0.104x 9.8 x 7.5 / 0.5 x 0.104
v²==95.55
V = 9.77 m/s
Using the conservation of momentum formulae where
M₁ V₁ + M₂ V₂ = (M₁ + M₂ ) V
Since V₂ which is the velocity of block is zero as the block is initially at rest, We now have that
M₁ V₁ = (M₁ + M₂ ) V
0.014 kg x V₁ = 0.104 x 9.77
V₁=0.104 x 9.77 / 0.014
V=72.58m/s

A point charge, Q1 = -4.2 μC, is located at the origin. A rod of length L = 0.35 m is located along the x-axis with the near side a distance d = 0.45 m from the origin. A charge Q2 = 10.4 μC is uniformly spread over the length of the rod.Part (a) Consider a thin slice of the rod, of thickness dx, located a distance x away from the origin. What is the direction of the force on the charge located at the origin due to the charge on this thin slice of the rod? Part (b) Write an expression for the magnitude of the force on the point charge, |dF|, due to the thin slice of the rod. Give your answer in terms of the variables Q1, Q2, L, x, dx, and the Coulomb constant, k. Part (c) Integrate the force from each slice over the length of the rod, and write an expression for the magnitude of the electric force on the charge at the origin. Part (d) Calculate the magnitude of the force |F|, in newtons, that the rod exerts on the point charge at the origin.
Answer:
a) attractiva, b) dF = [tex]k \frac{Q_1 \ dQ_2}{dx}[/tex], c) F = [tex]k Q_1 \frac{Q_2}{d \ (d+L)}[/tex], d) F = -1.09 N
Explanation:
a) q1 is negative and the charge of the bar is positive therefore the force is attractive
b) For this exercise we use Coulomb's law, where we assume a card dQ₂ at a distance x
dF = [tex]k \frac{Q_1 \ dQ_2}{dx}[/tex]
where k is a constant, Q₁ the charge at the origin, x the distance
c) To find the total force we must integrate from the beginning of the bar at x = d to the end point of the bar x = d + L
∫ dF = [tex]k \ Q_1 \int\limits^{d+L}_d {\frac{1}{x^2} } \, dQ_2[/tex]
as they indicate that the load on the bar is uniformly distributed, we use the concept of linear density
λ = dQ₂ / dx
DQ₂ = λ dx
we substitute
F = [tex]k \ Q_1 \lambda \int\limits^{d+L}_d \, \frac{dx}{x^2}[/tex]
F = k Q1 λ ([tex]-\frac{1}{x}[/tex])
we evaluate the integral
F = k Q₁ λ [tex](- \frac{1}{d+L} + \frac{1}{d} )[/tex]
F = k Q₁ λ [tex]( \frac{L}{d \ (d+L)})[/tex]
we change the linear density by its value
λ = Q2 / L
F = [tex]k Q_1 \frac{Q_2}{d \ (d+L)}[/tex]
d) we calculate the magnitude of F
F =9 10⁹ (-4.2 10⁻⁶) [tex]\frac{10.4 10x^{-6} }{0.45 ( 0.45 +0.35)}[/tex]
F = -1.09 N
the sign indicates that the force is attractive
Answer:
a)Toward the rod
b)|dF| = k|Q1|Q2(dx/L)/x^2
c)|F| = k|Q1|Q2/(d(d+L))
d)Plug in for answer c and solve
Explanation:
A)
Q1 is negative and Q2 is positive so it is an attractive force to where the rod is located.
B)
The formula for Force due to electric charges is F=kQ1Q2/r^2
In this case, Q2 is distrusted through the length of the rod as opposed to a single point charge. As such Q2 is actually Q2*dx/L as dx is a small portion of the full length, L.
The radius between Q1 and Q2 depends on the section of the rod taken so r will be the variable x distance from Q1.
The force is only from a small portion of the rod so more accurately, we are finding |dF| as opposed to the full force, F, caused by the whole rod.
The final formula is |dF| = k|Q1|Q2(dx/L)/x^2
C)
Integrating with respect to the only changing variable, x, which spans the length of the rod, from radius = d to d+L we get this:
F = integral from d to d+L of k|Q1|Q2(dx/L)/x^2
factor out constants
F = kQ1Q2/L * integral d to d+L(1/x^2)dx
F = kQ1Q2/L * (-1/x)| from d to d+L
F = kQ1Q2/L * (-1/d+L - -1/d)
F = kQ1Q2/L * (-d/(d(d+L)) + (d+L)/(d(d+L))
F = kQ1Q2/L * (L)/(d(d+L))
F = kQ1Q2/(d(d+L))
D)
Plug in the given values into c and you have your answer.
A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery until it is fully charged. Then, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery and connected to two uncharged parallel plates that make up a capacitor. The potential between the plates of the initial capacitor will
Answer:
The potential between the plates will decrease.
Explanation:
An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.
Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.
Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.
Formula for the potential difference is here;
V = Q/C
Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease

The new springs will be identical to the original springs, except the force constant will be 5655.00 N/m smaller. When James removes the original springs, he discovers that the length of each spring expands from 8.55 cm (its length when installed) to 12.00 cm (its length with no load placed on it). If the mass of the car body is 1355.00 kg, by how much will the body be lowered with the new springs installed, compared to its original height
Answer:
Explanation:
For original spring , compression in spring due to a load of 1355 kg is
x = 12 - 8.55 = 3.45 cm = .0345 m
spring constant = W / x
= 1355 x 9.8 / .0345
= 384898.55 N /m
Spring constant of new spring
k = 384898.55 - 5655 = 379243.55 N /m
New compression for new spring
= W / k
= 1355 x 9.8 / 379243.55
= .035 m
= 3.50 cm
Difference of compression = 3.50 - 3.45
= .05 cm .
In later case , car will be more lowered by .05 cm .
An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 2.20 10-6 m2 carries a current of 4.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. Assume each aluminum atom supplies one conduction electron per atom. Find the drift speed of the electrons in the wire.
Answer:
The drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.
Explanation:
We can find the drift speed by using the following equation:
[tex] v = \frac{I}{nqA} [/tex]
Where:
I: is the current = 4.50 A
n: is the number of electrons
q: is the modulus of the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C
A: is the cross-sectional area = 2.20x10⁻⁶ m²
We need to find the number of electrons:
[tex] n = \frac{6.022\cdot 10^{23} atoms}{1 mol}*\frac{1 mol}{26.982 g}*\frac{2.70 g}{1 cm^{3}}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3} [/tex]
Now, we can find the drift speed:
[tex]v = \frac{I}{nqA} = \frac{4.50 A}{6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*2.20 \cdot 10^{-6} m^{2}} = 2.12 \cdot 10^{-4} m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

Where: k is the Coulomb constant, q is the charge and r is the distance.
Given: q = 3.0 μC = 3.0 x [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] C, r = 0.5 m
So that,
V = [tex]\frac{9*10^{9}*3.0*10^{-6} }{0.5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2.7*10^{4} }{0.5}[/tex]
V = 54000
= 54 000 volts
The electric potential at the center of the meter stick is 54 KV.

A crate rests on a flatbed truck which is initially traveling at 17.9 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the truck is brought to a halt in a distance of 46.1 m. If the deceleration of the truck is constant, what is the minimum coefficient of friction between the crate and the truck that is required to keep the crate from sliding
Answer:
The minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.
Explanation:
The minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the crate from sliding can be found as follows:
[tex] -F_{f} + F = 0 [/tex]
[tex] -F_{f} + ma = 0 [/tex]
[tex] \mu mg = ma [/tex]
[tex] \mu = \frac{a}{g} [/tex]
Where:
μ: is the coefficient of friction
m: is the mass of the crate
g: is the gravity
a: is the acceleration of the truck
The acceleration of the truck can be found by using the following equation:
[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad [/tex]
[tex] a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d} [/tex]
Where:
d: is the distance traveled = 46.1 m
[tex] v_{f}[/tex]: is the final speed of the truck = 0 (it stops)
[tex]v_{0}[/tex]: is the initial speed of the truck = 17.9 m/s
[tex] a = \frac{-(17.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*46.1 m} = -3.48 m/s^{2} [/tex]
If we take the reference system on the crate, the force will be positive since the crate will feel the movement in the positive direction.
[tex] \mu = \frac{a}{g} [/tex]
[tex] \mu = \frac{3.48 m/s^{2}}{9.81 m/s^{2}} [/tex]
[tex] \mu = 0.35 [/tex]
Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders several miles in length and several miles in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies. Inhabitants of the space colonies would live on the inside surface of the cylinder. Inertial effects would resemble gravity's influence and keep them 'plastered to the surface.' Suppose that you are an inhabitant of a space colony which is 1070 miles in length and 4.86 miles in diameter. How many revolutions per hour must the cylinder have in order for the occupants to experience a centripetal acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity
Answer:
the required revolution per hour is 28.6849
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
we know that the expression for the linear acceleration in terms of angular velocity is;
[tex]a_{c}[/tex] = rω²
ω² = [tex]a_{c}[/tex] / r
ω = √( [tex]a_{c}[/tex] / r )
where r is the radius of the cylinder
ω is the angular velocity
given that; the centripetal acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity a [tex]a_{c}[/tex] = g = 9.8 m/s²
so, given that, diameter = 4.86 miles = 4.86 × 1609 = 7819.74 m
Radius r = Diameter / 2 = 7819.74 m / 2 = 3909.87 m
so we substitute
ω = √( 9.8 m/s² / 3909.87 m )
ω = √0.002506477 s²
ω = 0.0500647 ≈ 0.05 rad/s
we know that; 1 rad/s = 9.5493 revolution per minute
ω = 0.05 × 9.5493 RPM
ω = 0.478082 RPM
1 rpm = 60 rph
so
ω = 0.478082 × 60
ω = 28.6849 revolutions per hour
Therefore, the required revolution per hour is 28.6849
The required revolution per hour is 28.6849
Calculation of revolution per hour:
The expression for the linear acceleration with respect to the angular velocity is
= rω²
So,
ω² = / r
ω = √( / r )
Here r represent the radius of the cylinder
ω represent the angular velocity
Now
diameter = 4.86 miles = 4.86 × 1609 = 7819.74 m
And,
Radius r = Diameter / 2 = 7819.74 m / 2 = 3909.87 m
So,
ω = √( 9.8 m/s² / 3909.87 m )
ω = √0.002506477 s²
ω = 0.0500647 ≈ 0.05 rad/s
Now
1 rad/s = 9.5493 revolution per minute
So,
ω = 0.05 × 9.5493 RPM
ω = 0.478082 RPM
Now
1 rpm = 60 rph
so
ω = 0.478082 × 60
ω = 28.6849 revolutions per hour

An ideal gas in a 50.0 L tank has a
pressure of 2.45 atm at 22.5°C.
How many moles of gas are in
the tank?
Answer:
5.05225 moles
Explanation:
The computation of the number of moles of gas in the tank is shown below:
Given that
Volume = V = 50 L = 50.0 × 10^-3m^3
Pressure = P = 2.45 atm = 2.45 × 101325
Temperature = T = 22.5°C = (22.5 + 273)k = 295.5 K
As we know thta the value of gas constant R is 8.314 J/mol.K
Now
PV = nRT
n = PV ÷ RT
= ((2.45 × 101325) (50.0 × 10^-3)) ÷ ((8.314) (295.5))
= 5.05225 moles

Velocity time graph and how to draw it
Answer:
Velocity time graph
Explanation:
Draw on graph paper two straight lines originating at the same point and perpendicular to each other. This is the x-y axis. The x-axis is the horizontal line and the y-axis is the vertical line.
Mark appropriate equally-spaced time intervals on the x-axis so that you can easily graph the time values from the table.
Mark appropriate velocity increments on the y-axis so that you can easily graph the velocity values from the table. If you have negative velocity values, extend the y-axis downward.
Find the first time value from the table and locate it on the x-axis. Look at the corresponding velocity value and find it on the y-axis.
Put a dot where a straight line vertically drawn up through the x-axis value and a straight line horizontally drawn through the y-axis value intersect.
Plot in similar fashion for all other velocity-time pairs in your table.
Draw a straight line with a pencil, connecting each dot you have put down on the graph paper, going from left to right

Assuming that the mixture is kept uniform by stirring, a drain pipe draws out of the tank the mixture at 2 gpm. Find the amount of salt in the tank at the end of 30 minutes.
A. 171.24 lbs
B. 124.11 lbs
C. 143.25 lbs
D. 105.12 lbs
Answer:
A. 171.24 Ibs
Explanation:
To find the amount of salt in the tank,
Let Q = Amount of salt in the mixture
And let 100 + (3-2)t = 100 + t be the volume of mixture at anytime t.
Rate of gain - Rate of loss = dQ / dt
Concentration of salt = Q / (100+t)
For the linear differential equation,
dQ / dt = 3(2) - 2 [Q/ (100 + t)]
dQ /dt + Q [2 / (100 + t)] = 6
The general solution of the linear differential equation is:
Q (i.f) = ∫ A(t) (i.f) dt + C
Therefore,
i.f = e ^ ∫ P(t) dt
And P(t) = 2 / (100 + t)
i.f = e ^ ∫ 2 / (100 + t)
= e ^ 2㏑ (100 + t)
= e ^ ㏑ (100 + t) ^2 = (100 + t) ^2
Q(100 + t) ^ 2 = ∫6 (100 + t) ^2 dt + C
Q(100 + t) ^2 = 2(100 + t) ^ 3 + C
When t = 0, Q = 50
Therefore,
50( 100) ^2 = 2(100) ^3 + C
C = -1.5 * 10 ^6
therefore, when t = 30,
Q (100 + 30) ^2 = 2(100 + 30) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6
Q (400) ^2 = 2(130) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6
Q = 171.24 Ibs
The amount of salt in the tank at the end of 30 minutes is 171.24 lbs.
The given parameters:
Initial volume of the tank, i = 100 gallonsRate of gain of salt = 3 gpmRate of loss of salt = 2 gpmThe linear differential equation of the salt solution is calculated as follows;
[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = Gain - loss[/tex]
where;
x is the salt concentrationThe salt concentration at time t, is calculated as follows;
[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 2(3) - 2(\frac{X}{100 + t} )\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} = 6 - 2(\frac{X}{100 + t} )\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} +2(\frac{X}{100 + t} ) =6[/tex]
Apply the general solution of linear differential equation as follows;
[tex]X(f) = \int\limits {At} \, dt \ + C\\\\f = e^{\int\limits {At} \, dt}\\\\ f = e^{\int\limits {\frac{2}{100 + t} } \, dt}\\\\f = e^{2 ln(100 + t)}\\\\f = (100 + t)^2[/tex]
[tex]X(100 + t)^2 = \int\limits {6(100 + t)^2} \, dt \ + \ C\\\\ X(100 + t)^2 = 2(100 + t)^3 + C[/tex]
When t = 0 and X = 50
[tex]50(100 + 0)^2 = 2(100+ 0)^3 + C\\\\C = -1.5 \times 10^6[/tex]
When t = 30 min, the concentration is calculated as;
[tex]X (100 + 30)^2 = 2(100 + 30)^3- 1.5 \times 10^6\\\\X(130)^2 = 2(130)^3 - 1.5\times 10^6\\\\X(130)^2 = 2894000\\\\X = \frac{2894000}{130^2} \\\\X = 171.24 \ lbs[/tex]
