Answer:

Gravitational potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.

Explanation:

It is given that, we have to write energy transformation occurs when a skydiver first jumps from a plane.

Just before jumping from the plane, the skydive exhibit only gravitational potential energy because it is possessed due to height of an object. It can be given by :

PE = m g h

m is the mass of object

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height form the surface

As he reaches down, its potential energy decreases continuously and it is converting to kinetic energy. It can be given by :

KE = 0.5 mv²

V is the velocity of object

So, it is clear that the gravitational potential energy si transforms to kinetic energy.

An empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. Ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed
Tema [17]

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be m_1 and it's velocity be v_1 and the mass of 1500 kg car be m_2 and it's velocity be v_2 .

After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.

     By law of conservation of momentum we have

                   m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = MV

                    2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V

                    V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s

So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s

Calculate the wavelength of a photon having 3.26 x 10^-19 joules of energy
bekas [8.4K]
The energy of a photon is given by:
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the photon frequency.
We know the energy of the photon, E=3.26 \cdot 10^{-19} J, so we can rearrange the equation to calculate the frequency of the photon:
f= \frac{E}{h}= \frac{3.26 \cdot 10^{-19}J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js}=4.94 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

And now we can use the following relationship between frequency f, wavelength \lambda and speed of light c to find the wavelength of the photon:
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.94 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=6.07\cdot 10^{-7} m=607 nm

a) ¿En qué posición es mínima la magnitud de la fuerza sobre la masa de un sistema masa-resorte? 1) x 0, 2) x A o 3) x A. ¿Por q
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

a) the correct answer is 1 , b) x=0   F=0, a=0

x= 0.050    F= -7.5 N,  a= -15 m/s²

x= 0.150     F= 22.5 N,  a=- 45 m/s²

Explanation:

a) In a mass - spring system the force is given by the Hooke force,

          F = - k x

Analyzing this equation we see that the outside is proportional to the elongation from the equilibrium position, therefore the force is zero when the spring is in its equilibrium position

the correct answer is 1

b) we assume that the given values ​​are from the equilibrium position of the spring.

Let's calculate the force

x = 0

      F = 0

x = 0.050

      F = - 150 0.050

      F = - 7.50 N

x = 0.150

      F = - 150 0.150

      F = - 22.5 N

let's use Newton's second law to find the acceleration

      F = m a

      a = F / m

x = 0 m

      a = 0

x = 0.050 m

      a = -7.50 / 0.50

      a = - 15 m / s²

x = 0.150 m

      a = - 22.5 / 0.50

      a = - 45 m/s²

TRASLATE

a) En un sistema masa – resorte  la fuerza es dada por la fuerza de Hoke,  

          F= - k x

analizando esta ecuación vemos que la fuera es proporcional a la elongación desde la posición de equilibrio, por lo tanto la fuerza es cero cuando el resorte esta en su posición de equilibrio

la respuesta correcta es  1

b)suponemos que los valores dados son desde la posición de equilibrio del resorte.

Calculemos la fuerza  

x=0  

              F= 0

x=0.050  

              F = - 150 0.050

              F= - 7.50 N

x= 0.150  

                F= - 150 0.150

                F= - 22.5 N

usemos la segunda ley de Newton para encontrar la aceleración

          F = m a

          a = F/m

x =0  m

        a = 0

x= 0.050 m

         a = -7.50/ 0.50

          a =- 15 m/s²

x= 0.150 m

          a= - 22.5 / 0.50

          a= - 45 m/s²
