A student m1 = 71 kg runs towards his skateboard, which has a mass m2 = 2.8 kg and is d = 2.75 m ahead of him. He begins at rest

and accelerates at a constant rate of a = 0.65 m/s2. When he reaches the skateboard he jumps on it. What is the velocity of the student and skateboard in meters per second?

Answer:

The velocity of the student and skateboard together $=1.82\ ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of student $m_1=71\ kg$

Mass of skateboard $m_2=2.8\ kg$

Distance between student and skateboard $d=2.75\ m$

Acceleration of student $a=0.65\ ms^{-2}$

Finding velocity $v_1$ of the student before jumping on skateboard

Using equation of motion

$v_1^2=v_0^2+2ad$

here $v_0$ represents the initial velocity of the student which is $=0$ as he starts from rest.

So,

$v_1^2=0^2+2(0.65)(2.75)$

$v_1^2=3.575$

Taking square root both sides:

$\sqrt{v_1^2}=\sqrt[1.7875}$

∴ $v_1=1.89$

Finding velocity $v$ of student and skateboard.

Using law of conservation of momentum.

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

Where $v_2$ is initial velocity of skateboard which is $=0$ as it is at rest.

Plugging in values.

$71(1.89)+(2.8)(0)=(71+2.8)\ v$

$134.19=73.8\ v$

Dividing both sides by $73.8$

$\frac{134.19}{73.8}=\frac{73.8\ v}{73.8}$

∴ $v=1.82$

The velocity of the student and skateboard together $=1.82\ ms^{-1}$

The bright yellow light emitted by a sodium vapor lamp consists of two emission lines at 589.0 and 589.6 nm. What are the freque

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

wavelength of emissions are

$\lambda _1=589 nm$

$\lambda _2=589.6 nm$

Energy is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

where h=Planck's constant

x=velocity of Light

$\lambda$ =wavelength of emission

$E_1=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}$

$E_1=3.374\times 10^{-19} J$

$E_1 in kJ/mol$

$E_1=203.2 kJ/mol$

frequency corresponding to this emission

$\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}$

$\nu _1=5.09\times 10^{14} Hz$

Energy corresponding to $\lambda _2$

$E_2=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}$

$E_2=3.371\times 10^{-19} J$

$E_2=203.02 kJ/mol$

frequency corresponding to this emission

$\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}$

$\nu _1=5.088\times 10^{14} Hz$

If you were in a spaceship watching a ball hover at rest (inside the spaceship) in mid-air, and the spaceship suddenly began rap

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It will still hover until the spaceship "hits" or exerts a force on it.

Explanation:

Remember, if there is no net force, there is no acceleration or movement.

In this case, our ball is hovering in the spaceship, and in space, we can assume there is no $F_g$ , and we can assume there is no $F_N$ , nor no forces acting against it.

So, the ball would not move.

However, once the spaceship starts accelerating, the ball would still hover until the spaceship exerts a force on it.

This is because of the same thing as explained above, no forces acting on it, therefore, no acceleration.

Think about it this way.

Imagine you jumped up, then someone threw a ball at you. Now let's imagine you can't move until you hit the floor, meaning that in an ideal situation only $F_g$ is acting on you. Now again, let's imagine time slows really down for you, but not the ball. Before the ball comes and hits you, you are "hovering" like a ball. But after the ball hits you, you move a little because the ball exerted a force on you.

If you did not understand what I meant above, just forget about it, and think about the fact that if there is a Net force (all the force values added up), then there is acceleration and movement.

Steel blocks A and B, which have equal masses, are at TA = 300 oC and T8 = 400 oC. Block C, with mc - 2mA, is at TC = 350 oC. Bl

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

When put in contact each other, and isolated, both blocks will exchange heat till they reach to thermal equilibrium.
During this process, the body at a higher temperature, will loss heat, tat it will be gained by the other body.
The equilibrium condition will be reached when the following equation be met:

$\Delta Q = c_{st}* m_{A} * (T_{fin} - T_{0A} ) = c_{st}* m_{B} * (T_{0B} - T_{fin} )$

Replacing by the values of T₀A = 300º C, and T₀B = 400ºC, and simplifying common terms as mA = mB, we can solve for Tfin, as follows:

$(400 \ºC - T_{fin}) = (T_{fin} - 300 \ºC) \\ \\ 2* T_{fin} = 700\ºC\\ \\ T_{fin} = 350\ºC$

So, when both blocks reach to equilibrium, they will be at a common final temperature, 350ºC.
When put in contact with block C, at the same temperature, at that instant, the three blocks will have the same common temperature of 350 ºC.
So, option b) is the right one.

________ In many cartoon shows, a character runs off a cliff, realizes his predicament, and lets out a scream. He continues to s

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Here the source is moving away from the observer so frequency will be smaller than the actual frequency and since the speed is increasing so the frequency is decreasing with time so correct answer is

D) lower than the original pitch and decreasing as he falls.

Explanation:

As we know by the Doppler's effect of sound we have

so we will have

$f = f_o(\frac{v}{v + v_s})$

so here when source moves away from the observer with a some speed then the frequency of the sound observed by the observer is smaller than the actual frequency

Here we know that the speed of the source is increasing with time as the source is falling under gravity

So we can say that the pitch of the sound will decrease with time

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?

NemiM [27]

The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.
