A group of science and engineering students embarks on a quest to make an electrostatic projectile launcher. For their first tri

al, a horizontal, frictionless surface is positioned next to the 12-cm-diameter sphere of a Van de Graaff generator, and a small, 5.0 g plastic cube is placed on the surface with its center 2.0 cm from the edge of the sphere. The cube is given a positive charge, and then the Van de Graaff generator is turned on, charging the sphere to a potential of 200,000 V in a negligible amount of time. How much charge does the plastic cube need to achieve a final speed of a mere 3.0 m/s? Does this seem like a practical projectile launcher?

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
kicyunya [2264]

Response: a. The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are designed with spring-loaded components to quickly return to a predetermined position.

Justification:

Adaptive optics refers to a technique employed by various astronomical observatories to compensate in real-time for the atmospheric turbulence that impacts astronomical imaging.

This is executed by integrating advanced deformable mirrors into the telescope's optical pathway, operated by a set of computer-controlled actuators. This allows for obtaining clearer images despite the atmospheric fluctuations that create distortions.

It is crucial to note that this process requires a moderately bright reference star located closely to the object being studied.

However, locating such stars is not always feasible, prompting the use of a strong laser beam directed at the upper atmosphere to create artificial stars.

During a snowball fight two balls with masses of 0.4 and 0.6 kg, respectively, are thrown in such a manner that they meet head-o
Yuliya22 [2432]

Answer:

The snowball's speed after the impact is 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

mass of each ball

m₁ = 0.4 Kg

m₂ = 0.6 Kg

initial speed of both balls = v₁ = 15 m/s

Speed of 1 Kg mass post-collision =?

Applying conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ - m₂ v₁ = (m₁+m₂) V

A negative velocity indicates that the second ball moves in the opposite direction.

0.4 x 15 - 0.6 x 15 = (1) V

Therefore,

V = - 3 m/s

Consequently,

The snowball's speed following the collision is 3 m/s

A 450g mass on a spring is oscillating at 1.2Hz. The totalenergy of the oscillation is 0.51J. What is the amplitude.
Sav [2230]

Response:

A=0.199

Clarification:

We know that  

Mass of spring=m=450 g==\frac{450}{1000}=0.45 kg

Where 1 kg=1000 g

Frequency of oscillation=

\nu=1.2Hz

Energy for oscillation is 0.51 J

To determine the amplitude of oscillations.

Energy for oscillator=E=\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2

Where \omega=2\pi\nu=Angular frequency

A=Amplitude

\pi=\frac{22}{7}

Using the formula

0.51=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45(2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.2)^2A^2

A^2=\frac{2\times 0.51}{0.45\times (2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.2)^2}=0.0398

A=\sqrt{0.0398}=0.199

Therefore, the amplitude of oscillation=A=0.199

The surface is tilted to an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal, as shown above in Figure 3. The blocks are each given a pus
inna [2210]

Answer:

Incomplete question: "Each block has a mass of 0.2 kg"

The velocity of the center of mass for the two-block system just prior to their collision is 2.9489 m/s

Explanation:

Provided information:

θ = angle of the surface = 37°

m = mass of each block = 0.2 kg

v = speed = 0.35 m/s

t = collision time = 0.5 s

Question: What is the velocity of the center of mass for the two-block system right before the blocks collide, vf =?

Change in momentum:

delta(P)=F*delta(t)

P_{f} -P_{i}=F*delta(t)

2m(v_{f} -v_{i})=F*delta(t)

v_{i} =0.35-0.35=0

It’s essential to calculate the required force:

F=(m+m)*g*sin\theta

Here, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F=(0.2+0.2)*9.8*sin37=2.3591N

v_{f} =\frac{F*delta(t)}{2m} =\frac{2.3591*0.5}{2*0.2} =2.9489m/s
