Consult Conceptual Example 9 in preparation for this problem. Interactive LearningWare 6.3 also provides useful background. The

drawing shows a person who, starting from rest at the top of a cliff, swings down at the end of a rope, releases it, and falls into the water below. There are two paths by which the person can enter the water. Suppose he enters the water at a speed of 13.4 m/s via path 1. How fast is he moving on path 2 when he releases the rope at a height of 2.34 m above the water? Ignore the effects of air resistance.

Answer:

11.56066 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

v = Velocity of person = 13.4 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v' = Velocity of the person in the second

The kinetic and potential energy will balance each other at the surface

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{13.4^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=9.15188\ m

Height of the cliff is 9.15188 m

Let height of the fall be h' = 2.34 m

\dfrac{1}{2}mv'^2+mgh'=mgh\\\Rightarrow v'=\sqrt{2g(h-h')}\\\Rightarrow v'=\sqrt{2\times 9.81(9.15188-2.34)}\\\Rightarrow v'=11.56066\ m/s

The speed of the person is 11.56066 m/s

If the distance between slits on a diffraction grating is 0.50 mm and one of the angles of diffraction is 0.25°, how large is th
Trava [24]

Answer:

-  path differnce = 2.18*10^-6

-  1538 lines

Explanation:

- The path difference for the waves that produce the pattern of diffraction, is given by the following formula:

path\ difference\ = dsin\theta           (1)

d: separation between slits = 0.50mm = 0.50*10^-3 m

θ: angle of a diffraction = 0.25°

Then, the path difference is:

path\ difference\ =(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin(0.25\°)=2.18*10^{-6}m

- The maximum number of bright lines are calculated by using the following formula:

m\lambda = dsin\theta           (2)

m: order of the bright

λ: wavelength = 650nm

The maximum bright is calculated for an angle of 90°:

m=\frac{(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin90\°}{650*10^{-9}m} \approx 769

The maxium number of bright lines are twice the previous result, that is, 1538 lines

Which. describe newtons law of univesel gravitation
Fed [463]

Newton's law of universal gravitation, says that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Or in simple words, every particle in the world attracts each other to themselves, but the particle with most mass would attract with more force compared to a particle with less mass.
