<span>2.856s Distance traveled under constant acceleration as a function of time is given by x=(gt^2)/2 where g is the acceleration and t is time. In this case acceleration is due to gravity and is 9.81m/s^2. The distance of interest is x=40m. Substituting and solving 40=(9.81*t^2 )/ 2 80 = 9.81*t^2 8.1549 = t^2 2.856s = t</span>

H = 40 m, the height from which the ball is dropped.
m = 1 kg, the mass of the ball

Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and neglect air resistance.

The initial vertical velocity is zero.
If t = the time of flight, then
40 m = (1/2)*g*(t s)² = 0.5*9.8*t²
t² = 40/4.9 = 8.1633
t = 2.857 s

Answer:  2.9 s (nearest tenth)

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball
Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s  (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

A total charge of 9.0 mC passes through a cross-sectional area of a nichrome wire in 3.6s. The number of electrons passing throu
Setler79 [48]
<h2>Given :</h2>

  • total charge = 9.0 mC = 0.009 C

Each electron has a charge of :

1.6 \times 10 {}^{ - 19} \:  C

For producing 1 Cuolomb charge we need :

  • \mathrm{\dfrac{1}{1.6 \times 10 {}^{ - 19} } }

  • \dfrac{10 {}^{19} }{1.6}

  • \dfrac{10\times 10 {}^{19} }{16}

  • \dfrac{100 \times 10 {}^{18} }{16}

  • \mathrm{6.24 \times 10 {}^{18}  \:  \: electrons}

Now, for producing 0.009 C of charge, the number of electrons required is :

  • 0.009 \times 6.24 \times  {10}^{18}

  • 0.05616 \times 10 {}^{18}

  • \mathrm{5.616 \times 10 {}^{16}  \:  \: electons}

_____________________________

So, Number of electrons passing through the cross section in 3.6 seconds is :

\mathrm{5.616 \times 10 {}^{16} \:  \: electrons}

Number of electrons passing through it in 1 Second is :

  • \dfrac{5.616 \times  {10}^{16} }{3.6}

  • \mathrm{1.56 \times 10 {}^{16}  \:  \: electrons}

Now, in 10 seconds the number of electrons passing through it is :

  • 10 \times  \mathrm{1.56 \times 10 {}^{16}  \:  \: }

  • \mathrm{1.56 \times 10 {}^{17}  \:  \: electrons}

Red light of wavelength 630 nm passes through two slits and then onto a screen that is 1.3 m from the slits. The center of the 3
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) f = 4.76 10¹⁴ Hz, b) d = 2.73 10⁻⁴ m, c) θ = 6.923 10⁻³ rad

Explanation:

a) In this problem the frequency of light is asked, let's use the relationship between the speed of the wave, its wavelength and its frequency

           c = λ f

           f = c /λ

           f = \frac{3 \ 10^8}{630 \ 10^{-9}}

           f = 4.76 10¹⁴ Hz

b) slit separation (d)

the expression for the constructive interference of the double-slit experiment is

          d sin  θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

          tan θ = \frac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}

in general the angles are small, so we can approximate

          tan θ = sin θ

          tan θ = y/L

we substitute

          d y / L = m λ

          d = m L λ / y

we calculate

          d = 3  1.3  630 10⁻⁹ /0.90 10⁻²

          d = 2.73 10⁻⁴ m

c) the angle

           tan θ = y / L

           θ = tan⁻¹ y / L

           θ = tan⁻¹ 0.9 10⁻² / 1.3

           θ = tan⁻¹ 6,923 10⁻³

let's find the angle in radians

           θ = 6.923 10⁻³ rad
