On the Moon’s surface, lunar astronauts placed a corner reflector, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. What percent correction is needed to account for the delay in time due to the slowing of light in Earth’s atmosphere? Assume the distance to the Moon is precisely 3.84×108 m , and Earth’s atmosphere (which varies in density with altitude) is equivalent to a layer 30.0 km thick with a constant index of refraction n = 1.000293.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]T_d=2.8*10^-^6\%[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance b/w Earth and the moon [tex]d_e=3.84×10^8 m[/tex]

Thickness of Earth's atmosphere[tex]d_t=30km[/tex]

Constant index of refraction [tex]n = 1.000293.[/tex]

Generally the equation for percentage of time delay [tex]T_d[/tex] is mathematically given as

[tex]T_d=\frac{d(n-1)}{rm}*100\%[/tex]

[tex]T_d=\frac{(35*10^3)(1.000293-1)()100)}{3.674*10^8} *\%[/tex]

[tex]T_d=2.8*10^-^6 \%[/tex]

Therefore the general percentage correction needed because of tym deley is given as

[tex]T_d=2.8*10^-^6\%[/tex]

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 54.0 cm. The explorer finds that the pendulum completes 98.0 full swing cycles in a time of 135s.

Required:
What is the value of g on this planet?

Answers

Answer:

g = 11.2 m/s²

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the time period of the pendulum:

[tex]T = \frac{t}{n}[/tex]

where,

T = Time period = ?

t = time taken = 135 s

n = no. of swings in given time = 98

Therefore,

[tex]T = \frac{135\ s}{98}[/tex]

T = 1.38 s

Now, we utilize the second formula for the time period of the simple pendulum, given as follows:

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}[/tex]

where,

l = length of pendulum = 54 cm = 0.54 m

g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet = ?

Therefore,

[tex](1.38\ s)^2 = 4\pi^2(\frac{0.54\ m}{g} )\\\\g = \frac{4\pi^2(0.54\ m)}{(1.38\ s)^2}[/tex]

g = 11.2 m/s²

b. Trace the rays all the way to the surface of the spherical cap.
c. Draw a normal to the surface of the mirror at each of the four points where the rays touch the mirror.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In the attachment we can see a diagram of the parallel rays.

The dotted line represents the normal to the mirror surface

These rays when reflected using the constructor equation

        [tex]\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}[/tex]

where p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Since the rays are parallel P = inf

          1 / f = 1 / inf + 1 / q

          f = q

this means that all the rays focus on one focal point.

Answers

Answer:

32km per hour

Explanation:

Explanation:

In first case v = a t

==> a t = 40 km p h

Now distance covered S1 + S2 + S3

S1 = 1/2 a t^2 and S3 = 1/2 a t^2

But S2 = 3t * 40 = 120 t km

Hence total distance = at^2 + 120 t

Time taken (total) = t + 3t + t = 5 t

Hence average speed = at^2 + 120 t / 5 t

Cancelling t we have at + 120 / 5 = 40 + 120 / 5 = 160/5 = 32 km per hour

Answer in units of V

Answers

Answer:

(a)  0.273 A

(b) 4.368 V

(c) 1.638 V

Explanation:

From the question,

(a) Applying ohm's law

V = IR'...................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage of the battery, I = Current in each of the resistor, R' = Total resistance of the combined resistors

Since the Two resisstors are connected in series,

(i) The same current flows through both resistors

(ii) The total resistor (R') = R₁+R₂

Therefore,

V = (R₁+R₂)I

Make I the subject of the equation

I = V/(R₁+R₂)................. Equation 2

Given: V = 6 V, R₁ = 16 Ω, R₂ = 6 Ω

Substitute into equation 2

I = 6/(16+6)

I = 6/22

I = 0.273 A

(b) The potential difference across the first resisto

V₁ = IR₁...................... Equation 3

Given: I = 0.273 A, R₁ = 16 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 3

V₁ = 0.273(16)

V₁ = 4.368 V

(c) The Potential difference across the second resistor is

V₂ = IR₂.................... Equation 4

V₂ = 0.273×6

V₂ = 1.638 V

Answers

Answer:

Hope this helps!  can I have brainliest im trying to level up.

Explanation:

Bumper cars are a great place to see Sir Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion in action. Here’s how:

Newton’s First Law: Every object in motion continues in motion and every object at rest continues to be at rest unless an outside force acts upon it.

This is because all objects have inertia – the property of matter that resists changes to the object’s motion.

Newton found that if a ball is sitting on a table, it will stay sitting there because that is what it ‘wants’ to do.

If the ball is set in motion, it will keep traveling in a straight path because, again, that is what it ‘wants’ to do.

An object in motion will not stop, slow down, or change its direction unless an outside force acts on it (such as gravity, friction, and air resistance).

When you are riding in a bumper car and end up in a collision with another bumper car, you feel a jolt. This is because your body’s inertia wants it to keep traveling in the direction it was moving with the car even though your bumper car has now suddenly stopped.

Newton’s Second Law: The greater the mass of an object, the harder it is to change its speed.

(More force is needed to move it.)

You already know this law and practice it in your everyday life. Something that is small, such as a pebble, is much easier to pick up and throw than something that is large and heavy, such as a boulder.

When riding in the bumper cars, you may have noticed that people who weigh less tend to get pushed around more than people who weigh more.

The more mass (weight) an object has, the more force it takes to move it.

And since all the bumper cars usually have the same top velocity, the cars carrying more mass will never travel as far as the cars carrying less mass after a collision.

Newton’s Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

If two bumper cars traveling at the same speed and carrying the same amount of weight run into each other, they will bounce off and move an equal distance away from each other.

And based on the second law, if there is a difference in the amount of weight being carried in the two cars, the car with less weight will travel farther away from the point of impact than the car carrying more weight.

A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 0.70 ss apart. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/sm/s, and in concrete is 3000 m/sm/s. Part A How far away did the impact occur

Answers

Answer:

271.095 m

Explanation:

✓ Let speed of sound in air that was given as (343 m/s) be represented as (Vi)

✓( speed of sound in concrete that was given as (3000 m/s ) be debited as (Vc)

✓ Let the distance travelled by the sound = s

✓duration of Time that exist between heard of sounds = 0.70s

But we know that

Time = (Distance / Speed)

✓Time it takes the sound to travel through air= s/vi = s/343

✓Time it takes the sound to travel through concrete= s/vc = s/3000

✓ (s/343) - (s/3000) = 0.70

Finding LCM and simplify

[(3000s - 343s)]/1029000 = 0.70

2657s /1029000 = 0.70

Making " s" subject of the formula

s= (1029000 × 0.70)/2657

s=720300/ 2657

s= 271.095 m

Hence, The impact took place at a distance of 271.095 m away from the person.

An astrophysicist mounts two thin lenses along a single optical axis (the lenses are at right angles to the line connecting them, and they appear concentric when viewed from either end). The lenses are identical, each with a positive (converging) focal length of 15.2 cm. They are separated by a distance of 40.2 cm. Lens 1 is to the left of Lens 2. In order to evaluate the lens combination as a single optical instrument, the teacher places an object 30.0 cm in front of (to the left of) Lens 1.

Required:
a. What is the final image's distance (in cm) from Lens 2? (Omit any sign that may result from your calculation.)
b. Where is the final image located?
c. What is the overall magnification of the lens pair, considered as a single optical instrument?

Answers

Answer:

1 / i + 1 / o = 1 / f     thin lens equations

i = o f / (o - f)   rearranging

Lens 1:   object = 30 cm    f = 15.2 cm

i1 = 30 * 15.2 / (30 - 15.2) = 30.8 cm

o2 = 40.2 - 30/8 = 9.4 cm    distance of image 1 from lens 2

i2 = 9.4 * 15.2 / (9.4 - 15.2) = - 24.6 cm

The final image is 24.6 cm to the left of lens 2

The first image is inverted

The second image is erect (as seen from the first image)

So the final image is inverted

M = m1 * m2 = (-30.8 / 30) * (24.6 / 9.4) = -2.69

It can be deduced that the final image's distance from Lens 2 will be 30.8 cm.

How to calculate the distance

By using the Lens formula, the distance will be calculated thus:

1/v + 1/u = 1/15.2

1/v + 1/30.0 = 1/15.2

v = 30.8cm

In this case, the image formed will be to the right.

Lastly, the overall magnification of the lens pair will be:

M = (30.8/30.0)[(-28.4/40.7 - 30.8)]

M = -2.94.

In conclusion, the magnification is -2.94.

Explanation:

Statement is incorrectly written. The correct form is: A [tex]+10\,\mu C[/tex] charge and a [tex]-10\,\mu C[/tex] at a distance of 0.3 meters.

The two particles have charges opposite to each other, so they attract each other due to electrostatic force, described by Coulomb's Law, whose formula is described below:

[tex]F = \frac{\kappa \cdot |q_{A}|\cdot |q_{B}|}{r^{2}}[/tex] (1)

[tex]|q_{A}|,|q_{B}|[/tex] - Magnitudes of electric charges, in coulombs.

[tex]r[/tex] - Distance between charges, in meters.

If we know that [tex]\kappa = 8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}[/tex], [tex]|q_{A}| = |q_{B}| = 10\times 10^{-6}\,C[/tex] and [tex]r = 0.3\,m[/tex], then the magnitude of the electrostatic force is:

[tex]F = \frac{\kappa \cdot |q_{A}|\cdot |q_{B}|}{r^{2}}[/tex]
