QveST [7]4 years ago

gravitational potential energy is given by formula

U = mgh

here we need to compare the gravitational potential energy of stone 2 with respect to stone 1

so we will say

\frac{U_2}{U_1} = \frac{m_2gh}{m_1gh}

\frac{U_2}{U_1} =\frac{m_2}{m_1}

given that

m_2 = 4 m_1

now we have

\frac{U_2}{U_1} = 4

A single slit of width 0.3 mm is illuminated by a mercury light of wavelength 254 nm. Find the intensity at an 11° angle to the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The  the intensity at an 11° angle to the axis in terms of the intensity of the central maximum is  

   I_c = \frac{I}{I_o}  =8.48 *10^{-8}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  width of the slit is  D  =  0.3 \ mm =  0.3 *10^{-3} \ m

    The  wavelength is  \lambda =  254 \ nm =  254 *10^{-9} \ m

     The angle is  \theta  =  11^o

The intensity of at 11^o to the axis in terms of the intensity of the central maximum. is mathematically represented as

        I_c = \frac{I}{I_o}  = [ \frac{sin \beta  }{\beta }] ^2

Where \beta is mathematically represented as

        \beta  =  \frac{D sin (\theta ) *  \pi}{\lambda }

substituting values

      \beta  =  \frac{0.3 *10^{-3} sin (11 ) * 3.142}{254 *10^{-9} }

     \beta  =  708.1 \ rad

So

  I_c = \frac{I}{I_o}  = [ \frac{sin (708.1)  }{(708.1)}] ^2

   I_c = \frac{I}{I_o}  =8.48 *10^{-8}

What's the difference between beam balance and spring balance?
seropon [69]
<span>A spring balance will give a different mass reading on the Moon from that on Earth. A beam balance however, will give the same reading.Explain why.

</span>


<span>Beam Balance:

Beam balance measures mass.

Mass is the amount of matter the object has.

The S.I. unit of mass is kg


</span><span>
Spring Balance:

Spring balance measures weight not mass.

Disadvantage: It requires gravity to measure.

The S.I. unit of weight is newton (N).

That is why when we are in outer space, we become lighter-there is less gravity!</span>

Mass remains constant while weight is dependent on the gravitational pull of the planet. Mass only changes with a change in matter that results in a change of volume.


<span>Mass remains constant throughout. Only weight changes with gravitational acceleration. Mass will only change with a change in the volume of matter in the body.</span>

In anticipation of a long 10o upgrade, a bus driver accelerates at a constant rate of 5 ft/s^2 while still on a level section of
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The distance (in miles) by the bus up the hill when its speed decreased to 50 mph is approximately 1.353 miles

Explanation:

The parameters of the motion of the driver are;

The upgrade of the road, θ = 10°

The rate of constant acceleration of the bus driver = 5 ft./s²

The speed of the bus as it begins to go up the hill, v₁ = 80 mph = 117.3228 ft./s

The speed of the driver at a point on the hill, v₂ = 50 mph ≈ 73.32677 ft./s

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 32.1740 ft./s²

Therefore, we have;

The acceleration due to gravity down the incline plane, gₓ = g·sinθ

∴ gₓ = g·sin(θ) ≈ 32.1740 ft./s² × sin(10°) ≈ 5.587 ft/s²

The net acceleration of the bus, on the incline plane, a_{Net} = gₓ - a = 5.587 ft./s² -5 ft./s² = 0.587 ft./s²

The vertical component of the velocity, v_y = v × sin(θ)

∴ v_y = 117.3228 ft./s × sin(10°) ≈ 20.37289 ft./s

vₓ = 117.3228 ft./s × cos(10°) ≈ 115.5404 ft./s

The velocity of the car, v₂, on the inclined plane is given as follows;

v₂ = v₁ - a_{Net} × t

∴ t = (v₁ - v₂)/a_{Net}  = (117.3228 ft./s - 73.32677 ft./s)/(0.587 ft./s²) ≈ 74.95 s

The distance covered, 's', is given as follows;

s = v₁·t - 1/2·a_{Net}·t²

∴ s = 117.3228 × 74.95 - 1/2 × 0.587 × 74.95² ≈ 7144.6069 ft.

The distance travelled up the hill, s ≈ 7144.6069 ft. ≈ 1.3531452 miles ≈ 1.353 miles
