A man drops a rock into a well. (a) the man hears the sound of the splash 2.90 s after he releases the rock from rest. the speed

<span>In order to answer this question we must solve for distance (in this case meters). Based on the data we have we know the the rock falls 336m every second. In order to determine the total distance we must multiple this by the amount of time it took to fall. As you will see the seconds unit cancels out to leave you with meters. So, 2.9s x 336m/s = 974.4 m</span>

A toy airplane, flying in a horizontal, circular
Goshia [24]

Answer:

8.4 m/s

Explanation:

The toy completes 10 circle in 30 seconds. So its frequency of revolution is

f=\frac{10}{30 s}=0.33 Hz

The periof of revolution is the reciprocal of the frequency, so

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.33 Hz}=3 s

The radius of the circular path is

r = 4.0 m

So the total distance covered by the toy in one circle is the length of the circumference:

2\pi r

And so the average speed is

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{2\pi (4.0 m)}{3 s}=8.4 m/s

A diffraction grating with 161 slits per centimeter is used to measure the wavelengths emitted by hydrogen gas. At what angles i
Tresset [83]

Answer:

\theta_1  = 0.400^o

\theta_2   =0.378^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  number of slits per cm is  k =  161\  slits\  per\  cm =  161 \  slits\  per\  0.01 m

    The order of the maxima is  n =  1

    The wavelength are  \lambda_1 = 434 nm  =  434 *10^{-9} \ m \ \ \ , \lambda_2 = 410nm =  410 *10^{-9} \  m

The  spacing between the slit is mathematically represented as

           d =  \frac{ 0.01}{k}

=>       d =  \frac{ 0.01}{161}

=>         d = 6.211 *10^{-5} \ m

Generally the condition for constructive interference is  

        n\lambda  =  d \ sin \theta

At  \lambda_1

      \theta _1  =  sin^{-1} [ \frac{1  *  434 *10^{-9}}{6.211 *10^{-5}} ]

      \theta_1  = 0.400^o

At  \lambda_2

       \theta _2  =  sin^{-1} [ \frac{1  *  410 *10^{-9}}{6.211 *10^{-5}} ]

       \theta_2   =0.378^o

A 0.144 kg baseball is moving towards home plate with a speed of 43.0 m/s when it is bunted. the bat exerts an average force of
Ganezh [65]

As per impulse momentum theorem we know that

F\Delta t = m(v_f - v_i)

now here we will have

F = 6.50 \times 10^3 N

t = 1.30 ms

m = 0.144 kg

v_i = -43 m/s

now we need to find final speed using above formula

(6.50 \times 10^3)(1.30 \times 10^{-3}) = 0.144 ( v_f - (-43))

v_f = 15.7 m/s

so final speed is given as above

In case A below, a 1 kg solid sphere is released from rest at point S. It rolls without slipping down the ramp shown, and is lau
mestny [16]

Answer:

the block reaches higher than the sphere

\frac{y_{sphere}} {y_block} = 5/7

Explanation:

We are going to solve this interesting problem

A) in this case a sphere rolls on the ramp, let's find the speed of the center of mass at the exit of the ramp

Let's use the concept of conservation of energy

starting point. At the top of the ramp

         Em₀ = U = m g y₁

final point. At the exit of the ramp

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

notice that we include the translational and rotational energy, we assume that the height of the exit ramp is y₂

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         m g y₁ = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = w r

the moment of inertia of a sphere is

         I = \frac{2}{5} m r²

we substitute

         m g (y₁ - y₂) = ½ m v² + ½ (\frac{2}{5} m r²) (\frac{v}{r})²

         m g h = ½ m v² (1 + \frac{2}{5})

where h is the difference in height between the two sides of the ramp

h = y₂ -y₁

         mg h = \frac{7}{5} (\frac{1}{2} m v²)

         v = √5/7  √2gh

This is the exit velocity of the vertical movement of the sphere

         v_sphere = 0.845 √2gh

B) is the same case, but for a box without friction

   starting point

          Em₀ = U = mg y₁

   final point

          Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          Em₀ = Em_f

          mg y₁ = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          m g (y₁ -y₂) = ½ m v²

          v = √2gh

this is the speed of the box

          v_box = √2gh

to know which body reaches higher in the air we can use the kinematic relations

          v² = v₀² - 2 g y

at the highest point v = 0

           y = vo₀²/ 2g

for the sphere

           y_sphere = 5/7 2gh / 2g

           y_esfera = 5/7 h

for the block

           y_block = 2gh / 2g

            y_block = h

       

therefore the block reaches higher than the sphere

         \frac{y_{sphere}} {y_bolck} = 5/7
