Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500 square millimeters. The Young's m

Reil [10]

Answer:

$\Delta l=0.015m$

Explanation:

We have given initial length of the steel guitar l = 1 m

Cross sectional area $A=0.5mm^2=0.5\times 10^{-6}m^2$

Young's modulus $\gamma=2\times 10^{11}Pa$

Force F = 1500 N

So stress $=\frac{force}{area}=\frac{1500}{0.5\times 10^{-6}}=3000\times 10^{-6}=3\times 10^{9}Pa$

We know that young's modulus $=\frac{stress}{strain}$

So $2\times 10^{11}=\frac{3\times 10^{9}}{strain}$

$strain=1.5\times 10^{-2}=0.015m$

Now strain $=\frac{\Delta l}{l}$

$0.015=\frac{\Delta l}{1}$

$\Delta l=0.015m$

A man takes 20 seconds to climb 5m up a ladder. He weighs 720N. Calculate the power he must deliver to do this.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

180 W

Explanation:

The work done by the man against gravity is equal to its gain in gravitational potential energy:

$W=mg\Delta h$

where

(mg) = 720 N is the weight of the man

$\Delta h= 5 m$ is the change in height

Substituting,

$W=(720)(5)=3600 J$

The power he must deliver is given by

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where

W = 3600 J

t = 20 s is the time taken

Substituting,

$P=\frac{3600}{20}=180 W$

If a force of 50 Newton’s was applied to an object with a mass of 500 grams, what will the objects acceleration be?

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: 100 m/s^2

F=ma

Explanation:

50N = 50 kg*m/s^2

500g = 0.5 kg

F=ma

a = F/m

a = (50 kg*m/s^2)/(0.5 kg)

a = 100 m/s^2

what is the energy (in j) of a photon required to excite an electron from n = 2 to n = 8 in a he⁺ ion? submit an answer to three

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Approximately $5.11 \times 10^{-19}\; {\rm J}$ .

Explanation:

Since the result needs to be accurate to three significant figures, keep at least four significant figures in the calculations.

Look up the Rydberg constant for hydrogen: $R_{\text{H}} \approx 1.0968\times 10^{7}\; {\rm m^{-1}$ .

Look up the speed of light in vacuum: $c \approx 2.9979 \times 10^{8}\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Look up Planck's constant: $h \approx 6.6261 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}$ .

Apply the Rydberg formula to find the wavelength $\lambda$ (in vacuum) of the photon in question:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{\lambda} &= R_{\text{H}} \, \left(\frac{1}{{n_{1}}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{n_{2}}^{2}}\right)\end{aligned}$ .

The frequency of that photon would be:

$\begin{aligned}f &= \frac{c}{\lambda}\end{aligned}$ .

Combine this expression with the Rydberg formula to find the frequency of this photon:

$\begin{aligned}f &= \frac{c}{\lambda} \\ &= c\, \left(\frac{1}{\lambda}\right) \\ &= c\, \left(R_{\text{H}}\, \left(\frac{1}{{n_{1}}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{n_{2}}^{2}}\right)\right) \\ &\approx (2.9979 \times 10^{8}\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}) \\ &\quad \times (1.0968 \times 10^{7}\; {\rm m^{-1}}) \times \left(\frac{1}{2^{2}} - \frac{1}{8^{2}}\right)\\ &\approx 7.7065 \times 10^{14}\; {\rm s^{-1}} \end{aligned}$ .

Apply the Einstein-Planck equation to find the energy of this photon:

$\begin{aligned}E &= h\, f \\ &\approx (6.6261 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}) \times (7.7065 \times 10^{14}\; {\rm s^{-1}) \\ &\approx 5.11 \times 10^{-19}\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to three significant figures.)
