Read the scenario and solve these two problems.

Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy $K$ of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

Where:

$m=12000 kg$ is the mass of the train

$V=30 m/s$ is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}$

$K=5400000 J$ This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

Where:

$K_{i}=5400000 J$ is the train's initial kinetic energy

$P_{i}=0 J$ is the train's initial potential energy

$K_{f}=0 J$ is the train's final kinetic energy

$P_{f}=mgh$ is the train's final potential energy, where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity and $h$ is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

$5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h$

Finding $h$ :

$h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m$

Wavelength of blue photons 495 nm, what is the frequency? and what is the energy?

inessss [21]

Answer:

1.F: About 6*10^14 Hz

2.E: About 4*10^ -19 J

Explanation:

Frequency: We knew that the speed of a wave is its wavelength(λ)* frequency(f, in Hz). By the wave-particle duality we know we can calculate the frequency of light in the same way. So, c=495nm *f, f=c/495nm=> (299,792,458 m/s) / (4.95*10^-7 m)

=6.05*10^14 /s

Energy: The energy photon contains can be calculate by this formula-- E=hf

f is the frequency and h is Planck's constant which is about 6.62 ×10^-34 *m^2*kg/s (after dimensional analysis ) =6.62*10^ -34 J*s.

So, the energy of a blue photon is (6.05*10^14)*(6.62*10^-34)=40.051*10^-20= 4.051*10^-19 J

An automobile with an initial speed of 5.13 m/s accelerates uniformly at the rate of 3.0 m/s2. Find the final speed of the car a

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Final velocity v=19.83 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity u =5.13 m/sexc

Acceleration of automobile $a=3m/sec^2$

Time t =4.9 sec

We have to find the final velocity v

According to first law of motion v = u+at ,here v is the final velocity , a is acceleration and t is time

So $v=5.13+3\times 4.9=19.83m/sec$

So the final velocity is 19.83 m/sec
