Answer #1

Angular speed the turntable is rotating at = = 30 rpm = 30 x (2/60) rad/s = 3.141 rad/s

Distance of coin 1 from the center of rotation = R1

Centripetal acceleration of coin 1 = a1

Distance of coin 2 from the center of rotation = R2

Coin 1 is placed at half the distance of coin 2.

R2 = 2R1

Centripetal acceleration of coin 2 = a2

Taking ratio of the centripetal accelerations,

Magnitude of centripetal acceleration of coin 1 is half of that of coin 2.

Suppose that we have a box that contains two coins: A fair coin: ?(?)=?(?)=0.5 . A two-headed coin: ?(?)=1 . A coin is chosen at random from the box, i.e. either coin is chosen with probability 1/2 , and tossed twice. Conditioned on the identity of the coin, the two tosses are independent. Define the following events: Event ? : first coin toss is ? . Event ? : second coin toss is ? . Event ? : two coin...

Suppose I have two biased coins: coin #1, which lands heads with probability 0.9999, and coin #2, which lands heads with probability 0.1. I conduct an experiment as follows. First I toss a fair coin to decide which biased coin I pick (say, if it lands heads, I pick coin #1, and otherwise I pick coin #2) and then I toss the biased coin twice. Let A be the event that the biased coin #1 is chosen, B1 the event...

Two slits, a half a centimeter apart, are placed 1 meter in front of a screen. A lambda1= 0.48μm light source and a lambda2= 0.6μm light source create two separate interference patterns on the screen when passed through the slits. What is the distance on the screen from the third maximum in intensity created by the first source to the third maximum in intensity created by the second source? How to correctly answer this question? Please explain in detail.

1. Dynamics and artificial gravity. The space station has two thrusters pointed in opposite directions. They operate by expelling propellant at high speed. The effect is that there is a force of magnitude F0 on the two ends of the space station in opposite directions, which causes the entire object to start rotating. The thrusters will stop firing when the artificial gravity created on the space station (described below) reaches the required value. Upward force, magnitude F0 Downward force, magnitude...
