You lower a 2.50 kg textbook (remember when textbooks used to be made out of paper instead of being digital?) from a height of 1

.85 m to 1.50 m. What is its change in potential energy?

Answer:

Change in potential energy = 8.58 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

Potential energy = mgh

m = 2.50 kg

g = 9.81 m/s²

Initial height, h₁ = 1.85 m

Final height, h₂ = 1.50 m

Change in potential energy = mgh₁  - mgh₂

Change in potential energy = 2.5 x 9.81 x 1.85 - 2.5 x 9.81 x 1.50

Change in potential energy = 8.58 J

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle
Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are n_{red} = 1.344 & n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of violet light in the glass v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}

Here

\theta_1 = angle of incidence

\theta_2 = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{red} × \sin 38.4

n_{red} = 1.344

For violet light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{violet} × \sin 36.4

n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

n = \frac{c}{v}

n_{red} = 1.344

v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }

v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}

v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}

v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.

What holds the moon in place, orbiting around the Earth
AnnZ [28]

The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon's velocity. This means gravity makes the Moon accelerate all the time, even though its speed remains constant.

A box slides down a 31° ramp with an acceleration of 0.99 m/s2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box an
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:\mu=0.48

Explanation:

Given

inclination \theta =31^{\circ}

Acceleration of object=0.99 m/s^2

Now using FBD

mg\sin \theta -f_r=ma

mg\sin \theta -\mu mg\cos \theta =ma

a=g\sin \theta -\mu g\cos \theta

0.99=5.04-\mu 8.4

\mu 8.4=4.057

\mu =0.48

1. The illuminance on a surface is 6 lux and the surface is 4 meters from the light source. What is the intensity of the source?
Crank

<u>Answer</u>

1) A. 96 Candelas

2) A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

3) C. 5 meters


<u>Explanation</u>

Q1

The formula for calculation the luminous intensity is;

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

Lv = Ev × r²

= 6 × 4²

= 6 × 16

= 96 Candelabra

Q2

For converging lenses, an upright image is formed when the object is between the lens and the principal focus while a diverging lens always forms and upright image.

A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

Q3

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

square radius = Luminous intensity/ illuminance

r² = 100/4

= 25

r = √25

= 5 m
