Answer:
Explanation:
For a person at about 20° North latitude, an object 70° above the celestial equator would never set. It's arc path would touch the horizon be never sink below it. Observers north of 20° see it all night. Observers south of 20° an object 70° above the celestial equator would spend the greatest amount of time above the horizon.
For southern hemisphere observers, the object 40" below the celestial equator will spend the most time above the horizon. Nearly 12 hours per day. Did you mean 40°? 40 seconds is very close to the equator itself. However, the result is the same.
For northern hemisphere observers, the celestial object that is 70° above the celestial equator would be above the horizon for the greatest amount of time.
What is the equator?The Equator is an imaginary line passing through the middle of a globe. It is equidistant from the North Pole and the South Pole, Its is a horizontal line residing at 0 degrees latitude.
For northern hemisphere observers, the celestial object that is 70° above the celestial equator would be above the horizon for the greatest amount of time.
One that is 40" below the celestial equator would be above the horizon for the greatest amount of time for southern hemisphere observers.

A motor is designed to operate on 117 V and draws a current of 17.7 A when it first starts up. At its normal operating speed, the motor draws a current of 2.78 A. Obtain (a) the resistance of the armature coil, (b) the back emf developed at normal speed, and (c) the current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed.
Answer:
Resistance of the armature coil = 6.61 ohms
Back emf developed at normal speed = 98.62 V (Approx.)
Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed = 12.73 A
Explanation:
Given:
Potential difference V = 117 V
Current = 17.7 A
Motor drawn current = 2.78 A
Find:
Resistance of the armature coil
Back emf developed at normal speed
Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed
Computation:
A] Resistance of the armature coil R = V/ I
Resistance of the armature coil = 117 / 17.7
Resistance of the armature coil = 6.61 ohms
B] Back emf developed at normal speed = V- IR
Back emf developed at normal speed = 117 V - (2.78 A)(6.61 ohms)
Back emf developed at normal speed = 117 V - 18.37
Back emf developed at normal speed = 98.62 V (Approx.)
C] Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed = 17.7 A - (98.62/3)/(6.61 ohms)
Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed = 17.7 - 4.97
Current drawn by the motor at one-third normal speed = 12.73 A

In Young's double slit experiment, 402 nm light gives a fourth-order bright fringe at a certain location on a flat screen. What is the longest wavelength of visible light that would produce a dark fringe at the same location? Assume that the range of visible wavelengths extends from 380 to 750 nm.
Answer:
λ₂ = 357.3 nm
Explanation:
The expression for double-slit interference is
d sin θ = m λ constructive interference
d sin θ = (m + ½) λ destructive interference.
The initial data corresponds to a constructive interference, they indicate that we are in the fourth order (m = 4), let's look for the separation of the slits
d sin θ = m λ₁
now ask for destructive interference for m = 4
d sin θ = (m + ½) λ₂
we match these two expressions
m λ₁ = (m + ½) λ₂
λ₂ = ( m / m + ½) λλ₁
let's calculate
λ₂ =[tex]\frac{4}{(4.000 +0.5) \ 401}[/tex]
λ₂ = 357.3 nm

A 55kg bungee jumper has fallen far enough that her bungee cord is beginning to stretch and resist her downward motion . Find the ( magnitude and direction ) exerted on her by the bungee cord at an instant when her downward acceleration has a magnitude of 7.1m/s2
Answer:
148.5 N
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a bungee jumper, m = 55 kg
The downward acceleration, a = 7.1 m/s²
We need to find the net force acting on the jumper. As it is moving in downward direction, net force is :
T = m(g-a)
Put all the values,
T = 55(9.8 - 7.1)
= 148.5 N
So, the force exerted on the bungee cord is 148.5 N.
Answer:
The downward force is 148.5 N.
Explanation:
mass, m = 55 kg
downwards acceleration, a = 7.1 m/s^2
Let the force is F.
According to the newton's second law
m g - F = m a
F = m (g - a)
F = 55 (9.8 - 7.1)
F = 148.5 N
A transparent. dielectric coating is applied to glass (εr = 4.μr=1, σ= 0) to eliminate the reflection of red light (wavelength in air of 750 nm).
a. What is the required dielectric constant and minimum thickness of the coating?
b. If violet light (wavelength in air of 420 nm) is shone onto this glass coating (6-0). what percentage of the incident power will be reflected?
Answer:
a) Dielectric constant ( λ ) = 750 * 10^-9 m
minimum thickness of coating ( d ) = 187.5 nm
b) 3.6%
Explanation:
Given data:
wavelength of red light in air = 750 nm
εr = 4
μr = 1, σ = 0
a) Determine the required dielectric constant and min thickness of coating used
Refractive index of coating ( n ) = √εr * μr = √4*1 = 2
the refractive index of glass( ng) = 1.5 which is < 2
λ = 750 * 10^-9 m
Dielectric constant ( λ ) = 750 * 10^-9 m
To determine the minimum thickness we will apply the formula below
d = m λ/2n ; where m = 1
∴ d = 750 nm / 2 ( 2 )
= 187.5 nm
minimum thickness of coating ( d ) = 187.5 nm
b) Determine the percentage of the incident power that will be reflected
R = [ ( n-1 / n + 1 ) - ( n - ng / ng + n ) ]^2
= [ ( 2 - 1 / 2 + 1 ) - ( 2 - 1.5 / 1.5 + 2 ) ]^2
= 0.03628 = 3.6%

In first case a mass M is split into two parts with one part being 1/6.334 th of the original mass. In second case M is split into two equal parts. In both the cases the two parts are separated by same distance. What ratio of the magnitude of the gravitational force in first case to the magnitude of the gravitational force in the second case
Answer:
[tex]F_r=0.132:0.25[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
[tex]M_1=M*\frac{1}{6.334}[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]M_2=M-M*\frac_{1}{6.334}[/tex]
[tex]M_2=M*\frac{5.334}{6.334}[/tex]
Generally the equation for Gravitational force of attraction is mathematically given by
For Unequal split
[tex]F=\frac{GM_1M_2}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{G(M*\frac_{1}{6.334})(M*\frac{5.334}{6.334})}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{GM^2}{d^2}*(0.132)[/tex]
For equal split
[tex]F=\frac{GM_1M_2}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{G(\frac{M}{2})((\frac{M}{2}}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=0.25 \frac{GM^2}{d^2}[/tex]
Therefore the ratio of the gravitational force is
[tex]F_r=0.132:0.25[/tex]
A runner has a temperature of 40°c and is giving off heat at the rate of 50cal/s (a) What is the rate of heat loss in watts? (b) How long will it take for this person's temperature to return to 37°c if his mass is 90kg.
Answer:
(a) 209 Watt
(b) 4482.8 seconds
Explanation:
(a) P = 50×4.18
Where P = rate of heat loss in watt
P = 209 Watt
Applying,
Q = cm(t₁-t₂)................ Equation 1
Where Q = amount of heat given off, c = specific heat capacity capacity of human, m = mass of the person, t₁ and t₂ = initial and final temperature.
From the question,
Given: m = 90 kg, t₁ = 40°C, t₂ = 37°C
Constant: c = 3470 J/kg.K
Substtut these values into equation 1
Q = 90×3470(40-37)
Q = 936900 J
But,
P = Q/t.............. Equation 2
Where t = time
t = Q/P............ Equation 3
Given: P = 209 Watt, Q = 936900
Substitute into equation 3
t = 936900/209
t = 4482.8 seconds
The time delay between transmission and the arrival of the reflected wave of a signal using ultrasound traveling through a piece of fat tissue was 0.13 ms. At what depth did this reflection occur? (The average propagation speed for sound in body tissue is 1540 m/s)
Answer:
10.01 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
The time delay between transmission and the arrival of the reflected wave of a signal using ultrasound traveling through a piece of fat tissue was 0.13 ms.
The average propagation speed for sound in body tissue is 1540 m/s.
We need to find the depth when the reflection occur. We know that, the distance is double when transmitting and arriving. So,
[tex]v=\dfrac{2d}{t}\\\\d=\dfrac{vt}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1540\times 0.13\times 10^{-3}}{2}\\\\d= $$0.1001\ m[/tex]
or
d = 10.01 cm
So, the reflection will occur at 10.01 cm.

[tex]u=13.3cm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Focal Length [tex]F=10.0cm[/tex]
Distance [tex]d=40cm[/tex]
Generally the equation for Focal length is mathematically given by
[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{40}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{u}=\frac{3}{40}[/tex]
[tex]u=13.3cm[/tex]
Focal length is the distance from the center of the lens to principle foci. The distance of the from the lens to the light bulb is 13.3 cm.
The distance can be determined by the formula,
[tex]\bold {\dfrac 1{f} = \dfrac 1{u} + \dfrac 1{v} }[/tex]
Where,
f - focal length = 10 cm
u - distance of object = ?
v = distance of image = 40 cm
Put the values in the equation,
[tex]\bold {\dfrac 1{10} = \dfrac 1{u} + \dfrac 1{40} }\\\\\bold {\dfrac 1{u} = \dfrac 3{40}}\\\\\bold {\dfrac 1{u} = 13.3 cm}[/tex]
Therefore, the distance of the from the lens to the light bulb is 13.3 cm.

A regulation soccer field for international play is a rectangle with a length between 100 m and a width between 64 m and 75 m. What are the smallest and largest areas that the field could be?
Answer:
The smallest and largest areas could be 6400 m and 7500 m, respectively.
Explanation:
The area of a rectangle is given by:
[tex] A = l*w [/tex]
Where:
l: is the length = 100 m
w: is the width
We can calculate the smallest area with the lower value of the width.
[tex] A_{s} = 100 m*64 m = 6400 m^{2} [/tex]
And the largest area is:
[tex] A_{l} = 100 m*75 m = 7500 m^{2} [/tex]
Therefore, the smallest and largest areas could be 6400 m and 7500 m, respectively.
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
the largest areas that the field could be is [tex]A_l[/tex]=7587.75 m
the smallest areas that the field could be is [tex]A_s[/tex]=6318.25 m
Explanation:
to the find the largest and the smallest area of the field measurement error is to be considered.
we have to find the greatest possible error, since the measurement was made nearest whole mile, the greatest possible error is half of 1 mile and that is 0.5m.
therefore to find the largest possible area we add the error in the mix of the formular for finding the perimeter with the largest width as shown below:
[tex]A_l[/tex]= (L+0.5)(W+0.5)
(100+0.5)(75+0.5) = (100.5)(75.5) = 7587.75 m
To find the smallest length we will have to subtract instead of adding the error factor value of 0.5 as shown below:
[tex]A_s[/tex]= (L-0.5)(W-0.5)
(100-0.5)(64-0.5) = (99.5)(63.5) = 6318.25 m

P.S. AL2006 if you see this please help!
I'm not very good at this material. I'll try it, but if I were you, I wouldn't bet money on these answers.
"Isobaric" means constant pressure. So those are the horizontal lines, where every point on the line is at the same pressure. Those are the processes 1>2 and 3>4 .
I'm going around and around in my mind with the other labels, and I can't decide. So I'm afraid I can't answer any more of them ... they might be wrong.
Answer:
1 -> 2 & 3 -> 4: Isobaric process
4 -> 1: Work done BY the system
2 -> 3: Work done ON the system
W(total): W = 0J
Explanation:
The two horizontal lines (1 -> 2 & 3 -> 4) are "Isobaric" since isobaric processes take place at constant pressure. I believe 4 -> 1 is "Work done BY the system" since pressure increases when there is an increase of thermal energy, in other words, the system is absorbing heat. This is why the volume increases from 1 -> 2 after the system has absorbed heat in 4 -> 1. Following the directions of the arrows, 2 -> 3 would be "Work done ON the system" since pressure is DECREASING, meaning temperature is also exiting the system. That's why the next step (3 -> 4) shows a decrease in volume. This model depicts a process that has a W(total) of 0 J because this is a cycle.

While an elevator of mass 984 kg moves downward, the tension in the supporting cable is a constant 7730 N. Between t= 0 and t=
4.00 s, the elevator's displacement is 5.00 m downward. What is the elevator's speed at t= 4.00 s?
m/s
Answer:
v = 5.15 m/s
Explanation:
At constant velocity, the cable tension will equal the car weight of 984(9.81) = 9,653 N
As the cable tension is less than this value, the car must be accelerating downward.
7730 = 984(9.81 - a)
a = 1.95 m/s²
kinematic equations s = ut + ½at² and v = u + at
-5.00 = u(4.00) + ½(-1.95)4.00²
u = 2.65 m/s the car's initial velocity was upward at 2.65 m/s
v = 2.65 + (-1.95)(4.00)
v = -5.15 m/s
1. Estimate the buoyant force that air exerts on a man. (To do this, you can estimate his volume by knowing his weight and by assuming that his weight density is about equal to that of water. Assume his weight is 940 N.) answer in N
2.On a perfect fall day, you are hovering at low altitude in a hot-air balloon, accelerated neither upward nor downward. The total weight of the balloon, including its load and the hot air in it, is 17000 N.
(a) What is the weight of the displaced air?
answer in N
(b) What is the volume of the displaced air?
answer in m^3
Solution :
1. We know that : Buoyant force = weight of the liquid displace
= volume displaced x density of the fluid
Now volume of the man = [tex]$\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}}$[/tex]
Mass = weight / g
[tex]$=\frac{940}{9.8}$[/tex]
= 95.92 kg
And density = 1000 [tex]kg/m^3[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]$\text{volume} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{95.92}{1000}$[/tex]
= 0.0959 [tex]m^3[/tex]
We know density of air = 1.225 [tex]kg/m^3[/tex]
∴ Mass of air displaced = 0.0959 x 1.225
= 0.1175 kg
Weight of the air displaced = 1.1515 N
Therefore, the buoyant force = 1.1515 N
2). As the balloon is not accelerated, the net force acting on it is zero.
Thus the weight that acts downwards = buoyant force upwards
So, the weight of the air displaced = weight of the balloon
= 17000 N
Therefore, the mass of the air displaced = volume of the air displaced (volume of the balloon) x density of air
[tex]$\frac{17000}{9.8} = \text{volume of air} \times 1.225$[/tex]
[tex]$\text{Volume of air displaced} = \frac{1700}{9.8 \times 1.225}$[/tex]
= 1416.0766 [tex]m^3[/tex]
