Answer:

a) 29.4 J

b) - 29.4 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the book, m = 2 kg

Height above the floor, h = 1.5 m

Now,

the work done by the person will be = Force applied on the book × displacement of the book

thus,

Work done by the person = mg × h

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity

thus, on substituting the values, we get

Work done by the person = 2 × 9.8 × 1.5 = 29.4 J

now,

for the force applied by the gravitational pull (downwards) the displacement is in opposite direction (upwards) to the force of the gravity.

Thus,

work done by the gravity will be negative

therefore, the work done by the gravity = - mg × h

or

work done by the gravity = - 29.4 J

Answer:

29.4 J -29.4 J

Explanation:

The work done by the person on the book is given by =mgh

where m =mass

g= acceleration due to gravity

h=height

Here m=2 kg given g=9.8 kg m/ $sec^2$ h=1.5 meter

So work done by the person =2×9.8×1.5=29.4 J

As the gravitational force work downward and person lift the book upward so work done by gravity = -mgh = -2×9.8×1.5= -29.4 J

Bob is threatening Tom’s life with a giant laser with wavelength (650 nm), a distance (D = 10 m) from the wall James is shackled

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 650 nm

Distance =10 m

Double slit separation d = 5 μm

We need to find the position of fringe

Using formula of distance

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$d\dfrac{y}{D}=n\lambda$

$y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$y=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}\times10}{5\times10^{-6}}$

$y=1.3\ m$

Hence, He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Quinn accelerates her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s

umka2103 [35]

initial velocity=u=0m/s
Final velocity=v=4m/s
Time=t=2.5s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4-0}{2.5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4}{2.5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=1.6m/s^2$

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

$n_{air}=1$

$\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°$

$\theta_{air}35.09\°$

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

$n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}$

$n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}$

Replacing the values we have:

$n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}$

$n_liquid = 1.7323$

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323

A length of copper wire carries a current of 14 A, uniformly distributed through its cross section. The wire diameter is 2.5 mm,

gavmur [86]

Answer:

a. ρ $_\beta=1.996J/m^3$

b. $U_E=9.445x10^{-15} J/m^3$

Explanation:

a. To find the density of magnetic field given use the gauss law and the equation:

$i=14A$ , $d=2.5mm$ , $R=3.3$ Ω, $l=1 km$ , $E_o=8.85x10^{-12}F/m$ , $u_o=4*x10^{-7}H/m$

ρ $_\beta=\frac{\beta^2}{2*u_o}$

ρ $_\beta=\frac{1}{2*u_o}*(\frac{u_o*i^2}{2\pi *r})^2$

ρ $_\beta=\frac{u_o*i^2}{8\pi*r}=\frac{4\pi *10^{-7}H/m*(14A)^2}{8\pi*(1.25x10^{-3}m)^2}$

ρ $_\beta=1.996J/m^3$

b. The electric field can be find using the equation:

$U_E=\frac{1}{2}*E_o*E^2$

$E=(\frac{i*R}{l})^2$

$U_E=\frac{1}{2}*8.85x10^{-12}*(\frac{14A*3.3}{1000m})^2$

$U_E=9.445x10^{-15} J/m^3$
