Describe the acceleration of your bicycle as you ride it from your home to the store

1 answer:

8 0

<span>While you're going to the store, your acceleration changes. Some times it increases your overall speed sometimes it reduces it. Constant acceleration does not occur because it would mean that you would constantly accelerate and eventually go past the store. Even reduction of speed is a type of acceleration in physics. When you reach it, we can then calculate how much your velocity was on average and analyze how changing acceleration would've affected it.</span>

A tennis player standing 12.6m from the net hits the ball at 3.00 degrees above the horizontal. To clear the net, the ball must

mezya [45]

We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction.
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end)
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)

Make a rough estimate of the number of quanta emitted in one second by a 100 W light bulb. Assume that the typical wavelength em

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

E = h f

c= λ f

E = h c / λ

λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

#_photon = P / E₀

#_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

If a 6V battery is connected to a light bulb whose resistance is 55,000Ω How much current will flow in the circuit?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 6V

Resistance = 55,000 Ohms

To find the current flowing through the circuit;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Making current the subject of formula, we have;

$I = \frac {V}{R}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$I = \frac {6}{55000}$

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps
