Kinetic energy varies jointly as the mass and the square of the velocity. A mass of 15 grams and velocity of 3 centimeters per s

econd has a kinetic energy of 27 ergs. Find the kinetic energy for a mass of 5 grams and velocity of 9 centimeters per second.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Kinetic energy varies jointly as mass and square of velocity

$K.E.\propto m$

$K.E.\propto v^2$

$K.E.=kmv^2$

for $m=15 gm\ and\ v=3 cm/s$

$K.E.=27 ergs$

$27=k(15)(3)^2 -----1$

for $m=5 gm, v=9 cm/s$

$K.E.=k(5)(9)^2----2$

Divide 1 & 2 we get

$\frac{27}{K.E.}=\frac{15\times 3^2}{5\times 9^2}$

$K.E.=81 ergs$

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ whose respective velocities before collision are $u_1$ and $u_2$ ;

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2..............(1)$

where $v_1$ and $v_2$ are their respective velocities after collision.

Given;

$m_1=1.3kg\\u_1=5m/s\\m_2=1.3kg\\u_2=0m/s$

Note that $u_2$ =0 because the second mass $m_2$ was at rest before the collision.

Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that $m_1=m_2=m$ so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

$mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\\\m(u_1+u_2)=m(v_1+v_2)..............(2)$

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

$u_1+u_2=v_1+v_2.............(3)$

a) When $v_1=0.8m/s$ , we obtain the following by equation(3)

$5+0=0.8+v_2\\hence\\v_2=5-0.8\\v_2=4.2m/s$

b) As $m_1$ stops moving $v_1=0$ , therefore,

$5+0=0+v_2\\v_2=5m/s$

Light from a laser with wavelength 400 nm passed through two small openings and produces an interference pattern on a screen 1 m

alexira [117]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to destructive interference from double-slit experiments. For this purpose we will define the path difference as,

$\text{Path difference}= dsin\theta = (2n-1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

Here,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

$\theta$ = Angle when occurs the interference point of destructive interference

Our values are given as,

$\text{Wavelength} = \lambda = 400nm = 4*10^{-7}m$

$\text{Distance of Screen} = D = 1m$

Using the previous expression we have,

$d \times \theta = \frac{\lambda}{2}$

$d \times (0.1) = \frac{4*10^{-7}}{2}$

$d = 2*10^{-6} m$

$d = 2\mu m$ $d = 2\mu m$

Therefore the distance between the two openings is $2\mu m$
