Given data:

* The mass of the book is 2 kg.

* The initial height of the book is 0.78 m.

* The final height of the book is 2.1 m.

Solution:

(A). The work done by the gravity on the book is,

W=mg(h_f-h_i)

where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h_i is the initial height and h_f is the final height,

The work is done in moving the object in upward direction where as the gravitational force is acting in the down ward direction. Thus, the value g (acceleration due to gravity) is taken as negative in this case.

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} W=2\times(-9.8)\times(2.1-0.78) \\ W=-19.6\times1.32 \\ W=-25.9\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Thus, the work done by the gravitational force is -25.9 J.

(B). The work done by the hand on the moving the book is,

\begin{gathered} W_1=-W \\ =25.9\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Thus, the work done by the hand on the book is 25.9 J.

Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 591 nm wavelength light falling on a diffraction grating having 1460 lines per ce
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

15.32°

Explanation:

We have given the wavelength \lambda =591nm=591\times 10^{-9}m

Diffraction grating is 1460 lines per cm

So  d=\frac{10^{-2}}{1460}=6.71\times 10^{-6}m (as 1 m=100 cm )

For maximum diffraction

dsin\Theta =m\lambda here m is order of diffraction

So 6.71\times 10^{-6}sin\Theta =3\times 591\times 10^{-9}

sin\Theta =0.264

\Theta =15.32^{\circ}

A 0.14-MIN baseball is dropped from rest. It has a momentum of 0.90 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s just before it lands on the ground.
nikitadnepr [17]

The time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>momentum of the ball, P = 0.9 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>weight of the ball, W = 0.14 N</em>

The impulse experienced by the ball is calculated as follows;

Ft = \Delta P

where;

Ft is impulse

\Delta P is change in momentum

The time of motion of the ball is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{\Delta P}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.9 - 0}{0.14} \\\\t = 6.43 \ s

Thus, the time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes
mr Goodwill [35]
The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s
the charge is
Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C

One electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23} electrons

what do you mean by momentum? avehicle is runing with a velocity of 5m/s. it the momentum of the vehicle is 5000kg m/s. what is
Fantom [35]
Momentum is simply a quantity that measures the impact of a moving body over something is due to the mass it posseses or the velocity with which it is moving. Mathematically,ut is the product of mass and velocity of a body. It is represented by capital p...(P) P=mv Solution to the problem: we know P=mv For mass,eliminate m from the equation, m=P/v Put values, m=5000/5=1000kg

if a man hits a golf ball (0.2 kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s squared. what amount of force acted on the ball?
kkurt [141]

F = ma

We have mass = 0.2kg

and acceleration = 20 m/s^2

So..

F = (0.2)(20)

F = 4 N
