What is the net force required to accelerate a 16 kg box at a rate or 1.4 m/s^2

1 answer:

8 0

You can use Newton's Second Law which states:
$\sum \vec{F} = m\vec{a}$

Plug in given information:
$\sum \vec{F}=16(1.4) = 22.4N$

This is closest to option b which is your answer.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The right solution is "165.8 nm".

Explanation:

Given:

Index of refraction,

n = 1.81

Wavelength,

λ = 600 nm

We know that,

⇒ $t=\frac{\lambda}{2\times n}$

By putting the values, we get

$=\frac{600}{2\times 1.81}$

$=165.8 \ nm$

What is the minimum uncertainty in the vertical component of the momentum of each photon in the beam after the photon has passed

RoseWind [281]

<h3><u>Minimum uncertainty in the vertical component of the momentum of each photon:</u></h3>

According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle, both the “position and velocity of the particle” cannot be measured exactly at the same time. The momentum of the particle equals the product of its mass and velocity. And it can be inferred that the “product of the uncertainties” in the “momentum and the position” of a particle equals $\frac{h}{4 \pi}$ .

Immediately after the photon has passed through the slit, given particle has a momentum uncertainty of $\Delta P_{x}$ and its position uncertainty is $\Delta x$ , then the minimum uncertainty in its momentum will be

$\Delta P_{x} . \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}$

What is the average velocity of the object between 14 and 22 seconds?

Slav-nsk [51]

-1.1m/s

Explanation:

Work out which of the displacement (S), initial velocity (U), acceleration (A) and time (T) you have to solve for final velocity (V). If you have U, A and T, use V = U + AT. If you have S, U and T, use V = 2(S/T) - U.

Two 60.o-g arrows are fired in quick succession with an initial speed of 82.0 m/s. The first arrow makes an initial angle of 24.

olganol [36]

Answer:

a) The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters, b) Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.

Explanation:

a) The first arrow is launch in a parabolic way, that is, horizontal speed remains constant and vertical speed changes due to the effects of gravity. On the other hand, the second is launched vertically, which means that velocity is totally influenced by gravity. Let choose the ground as the reference height for each arrow. Each arrow can be modelled as particles and by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

First arrow

$U_{g,1} + K_{x,1} + K_{y,1} = U_{g,2} + K_{x,2} + K_{y,2}$

Where:

$U_{g,1}$ , $U_{g,2}$ - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

$K_{x,1}$ , $K_{x,2}$ - Initial and final horizontal translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$K_{y,1}$ , $K_{y,2}$ - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

Now, the system is expanded and simplified:

$m \cdot g \cdot (y_{2} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 2}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0$

$g \cdot (y_{2}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2})$

$y_{2}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2}}{g}$

Where:

$y_{1}$ . $y_{2}$ - Initial and final height of the arrow, measured in meters.

$v_{y,1}$ , $v_{y,2}$ - Initial and final vertical speed of the arrow, measured in meters.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

The initial vertical speed of the arrow is:

$v_{y,1} = v_{1}\cdot \sin \theta$

Where:

$v_{1}$ - Magnitude of the initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$\theta$ - Initial angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If $v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\theta = 24^{\circ}$ , the initial vertical speed is:

$v_{y,1} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 24^{\circ}$

$v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}$

If $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{y,2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the maximum height of the first arrow is:

$y_{2} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(33.352\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$y_{2} - y_{1} = 56.712\,m$

Second arrow

$U_{g,1} + K_{y,1} = U_{g,3} + K_{y,3}$

Where:

$U_{g,1}$ , $U_{g,3}$ - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

$K_{y,1}$ , $K_{y,3}$ - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$m \cdot g \cdot (y_{3} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 3}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0$

$g \cdot (y_{3}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2})$

$y_{3}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2}}{g}$

If $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{y,1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{y,3} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the maximum height of the first arrow is:

$y_{3} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$y_{3} - y_{1} = 342.816\,m$

The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters.

b) The total energy of each system is determined hereafter:

First arrow

The total mechanical energy at maximum height is equal to the sum of the potential gravitational energy and horizontal translational kinetic energy. That is to say:

$E = U + K_{x}$

The expression is now expanded:

$E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{x}^{2}$

Where $v_{x}$ is the horizontal speed of the arrow, measured in meters per second.

$v_{x} = v_{1}\cdot \cos \theta$

If $v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\theta = 24^{\circ}$ , the horizontal speed is:

$v_{x} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 24^{\circ}$

$v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}$

If $m = 0.06\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $y_{max} = 56.712\,m$ and $v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the total mechanical energy is:

$E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (56.712\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(74.911\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}$

$E = 201.720\,J$

Second arrow:

The total mechanical energy is equal to the potential gravitational energy. That is:

$E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max}$

$m = 0.06\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $y_{max} = 342.816\,m$

$E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (342.816\,m)$

$E = 201.720\,J$

Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.
