A car starts from rest and accelerates to 14 m/s in 2 seconds. What was its acceleration

Physics

Romashka [77]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

7m/s^2

Explanation:

using v=u+at

since the car started from rest, u=0 , v=14m/s t=2s

a =acceleration.

14=0+a×2

14=0+2a

14=2a

a= 14/2 =7

a=7m/s^2

A painter stands a horizontal platform which has a mass of 20kg and is 5m long, the platform is suspended by two vertical ropes

Lerok [7]

Answer:

R = 715.4 N

L = 166.6 N

Explanation:

ASSUME the painter is standing right of center

Let L be the left rope tension

Let R be the right rope tension

Sum moments about the left end to zero. Assume CCW moment is positive

R[5] - 20(9.8)[5/2] - 70(9.8)[5/2 + 2] = 0

R = 715.4 N

Sum moments about the right end to zero

20(9.8)[5/2] + 70(9.8)[5/2 - 2] - L[5] = 0

L = 166.6 N

We can verify by summing vertical forces

116.6 + 715.4 - (70 + 20)(9.8) ?=? 0

0 = 0 checks

If the assumption about which side of center the paint stood is incorrect, the only difference would be the values of L and R would be swapped.

An electron is confined to a one dimensional infinite potential well 150 pm. How much energy must it absorb if it is to jump to

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

\Delta E=1.22\times 10^{-22}J

Explanation:

The energy of electron in any state is given by $E=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}$ here h is planck's constant n is state of electron L is the infinte potential well m is the mass of electron

We know that $h=6.67\times 10^{-34}$

Potential well dimension = $150pm=150\times 10^{-12}m$

Mass of electron $=9.1\times 10^{-31}kg$

So energy required to electron to jump from ground state to 3rd state

$\Delta E=\frac{h^2}{8mL^2}\left ( 3^2-1^2 \right )$

$\Delta E=\frac{\left ( 6.67\times 10^{-34} \right )^2}{8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}(150\times 10^{-12})^2}\left ( 9-1 \right )$

$\Delta E=1.22\times 10^{-22}J$

One significant result of the Michelson experiment of 1880 was that it:

Alika [10]

Answer:

calculated the speed of light over a short distance

Explanation:

Albert Michelson was an American physicist who conducted an experiment regarding the speed of light in the air 1880s. He believed in the existence of "aether," a field of space that is deemed necessary for transporting electromagnetic forces. In order to do this, he setup a device in order to accurately measure the speed of light in in aether. His device is now known as "Michelson interferometer." The result was actually negative. 

In order to make his experiment even more accurate, he collaborated with Edward Morley, a famous American scientist. Although the result failed, together, they were able to improve and come with the a standard length of light. This calculated the speed of light over a short distance, which was the significant result of Michelson's experiment.

Thus, this explains the answer.
