An athlete with mass m running at speed v grabs a light rope that hangs from a ceiling of height H and swings to a maximum heigh

t of h1. In another room with a lower ceiling of height H/2, a second athlete with mass 2m running at the same speed v grabs a light rope hanging from the ceiling and swings to a maximum height of h2. How does the maximum height reached by the 2 athletes compare and why? (Pick one) a) The first athlete reaches a greater height, because the athlete swings on a longer rope; b) The second athlete reaches a greater height, because the athlete has a greater mass; c) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the effect of the rope length offsets the effect of the athletes’ masses; d) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the athletes run with the same speed.

Answer:

d) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the athletes run with the same speed.

Explanation:

In the whole process , kinetic energy is converted into potential energy .

1/2 m v² = mgh

v² = 2gh

h = v² / 2g

In this expression we see that height attained does not depend upon mass of the object . At the same time it also makes it clear that it depends upon velocity . As the velocity in both the cases are same , height attained by both of them will be same. Hence option d ) is correct.

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic
Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?
san4es73 [151]
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

                       (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

                   =    (55 x 231 / 1728)  ft³

                   =         7.352 cubic feet       (rounded)

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 9.9 kV, what is its resulting speed
beks73 [17]

Answer:

v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electron in terms of potential difference is given as:

K.E = eV--------------- equation (1)

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

V = Potential Difference = 9.9 KV = 9900 Volts

The kinetic energy in general is given as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\--------- equation (2)

where,

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = speed of electron = ?

Therefore, comparing equation (1) and equation (2), we get:

\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = eV\\\\\frac{1}{2}(9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg)v^{2} = (1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(9900\ volts)\\\\v = \sqrt{34.81\ x\ 10^{14}} \\

<u>v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s</u>
