Determine the mechanical energy of this object a 1-kg ball rolls on the ground at m/s

1 answer:

8 0

Mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy
The ball is on the ground so it has no potential energy. that's all i know.

A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity v → = (3.00iˆ) m/s and a constant acceleration a → = (−1.00iˆ − 0.500jˆ) m

tatiyna

Answer:

the position vector (x,y) will be (1.5 m,-2.25 m) and the velocity vector (vx,vy) will be ( 0 m/s , -1.5 m/s) when x reaches its maximum x coordinate

Explanation:

Since the velocity is related with the acceleration and coordinates through

vx²=v₀x²+2*ax*x

where

vx = velocity in the x direction

v₀x = initial velocity in the x direction = 3 m/s

ax = acceleration in the x direction = −1.00 m/s²

x= coordinates in the x-axis

when x reaches its maximum coordinate , then vx=0

thus

vx²=v₀x²+2*ax*x

0 = (3 m/s)² + 2* (−1.00 m/s²)*x

x= 1.5 m

also for the time t

vx = v₀x + ax*t → t= (vx-v₀x)/ax = (0- 3 m/s)/ (−1.00 m/s²) = 3 seconds

for the y coordinates

y = y₀+v₀y*t + 1/2 ay*t²

where

v₀y = initial velocity in the y direction = 0 m/s

ay = acceleration in the x direction = −0.5 m/s²

y= coordinates in the y-axis

y₀= initial coordinate in the y-axis =0

then since y₀=0 and v₀y=0

y = 1/2*ay*t²

y = 1/2*ay*t² = 1/2*(−0.5 m/s²)*(3 s)² = -2.25 m

and

vy=v₀y+ ay*t= 0+(−0.5 m/s²)*(3 s)= (-1.5 m/s)

therefore the position vector (x,y) will be (1.5 m,-2.25 m)

and the velocity vector (vx,vy) will be ( 0 m/s , -1.5 m/s)

List the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength:(i) the gamma rays produced by a radioac

Naddik [55]

Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:

λ $= \frac{v}{f}$

Where λ is the wavelength, $v$ is the constant speed and $f$ is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than $10^{19}$ Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

(i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)

Katyanochek1 [597]

Start with 2,000 grams.
After 1 half-life, 1,000 grams are left.
After another half-life, 500 are left.
After another half-life, 250 are left.
After another half-life, 125 are left.

That was FOUR half-lifes.
