You throw a 20-N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is a height 14.8m above the ground, it

is traveling at a speed of 25.0 m/s upward.
A) Use the work-energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground. What is it?
B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height. What is it?

Answer:

(A) The speed just as it left the ground is 30.25 m/s

(B) The maximum height of the rock is 46.69 m

Explanation:

Given;

weight of rock, w = mg  = 20 N

speed of the rock at 14.8 m, u = 25 m/s

(a) Apply work energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground

work = Δ kinetic energy

F x d = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

mg x d = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

g x d = ¹/₂(v² - u²)

gd = ¹/₂(v² - u²)

2gd = v² - u²

v² = 2gd  + u²

v² = 2(9.8)(14.8) + (25)²

v² = 915.05

v = √915.05

v = 30.25 m/s

B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height

the initial velocity of the rock = 30.25 m/s

at maximum height, the final velocity = 0

- mg x H = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

- mg x H = ¹/₂m(0) - ¹/₂mu²

- mg x H = - ¹/₂mu²

2g x H = u²

H = u² / 2g

H = (30.25)² / 2(9.8)

H = 46.69 m

A thin film of oil (n = 1.27) is located on smooth, wet pavement. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the pavement, th
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on interference in thin films

refractive index of water is more than given oil so there will be phase change of π at upper and lower layer of the film .

a )

for constructive interference , the condition is

2μt = nλ where t is thickness of layer , μ is refractive index , λ is wavelength and n is order of the fringe

Putting the values

2 x 1.27 t = n x 640

2 x 1.27 t =  640 ( for minimum thickness n = 1 )

t = 252 nm .

b )

2 x 1.27 t = m₁  λ₁

for destructive interference

2μt = (2m₂+1)λ₂/2

2 x 1.27 t =(2m₂+1)λ₂/2

m₁ λ₁  = (2m₂+1)λ₂/2

2m₁λ₁  = (2m₂+1)λ₂

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = λ₂ / λ₁

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = 548/ 640

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = .85625

2m₁ = .85625 (2m₂+1)

This is the required relation between m₁ and m₂
