Answer: 2.86 m
Explanation:
To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,
ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)
In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have
mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)
To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have
mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²
To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula
I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]
I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]
I = 0.04 + 0.01
I = 0.05 kgm²
Also, the angular velocity is given by
w = v / R2
w = 4 / (1/5)
w = 20 rad/s
If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,
0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)
4.9h = 4 + 10
4.9h = 14
h = 14 / 4.9
h = 2.86 m
Answer: C and D
Explanation: One of the first rule for total internal reflection to occur is that the ray must move from a dense to a less dense medium, hence refractive index of medium a must be greater than that of b.
When a ray moves from a dense to a less dense medium, the refracted ray moves away from the normal thus increasing the size of the angle of refraction (total internal refraction occurs when the angle of refraction is 90° and the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle), hence the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.
These points verifies option C and D
Answer:
k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m
Explanation:
First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:
F = Weight of Safe
F = mg
where,
F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?
m = mass of safe = 800 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
F = 7840 N
Now, using Hooke's Law:
F = kΔx
where,
K = Spring Constant = ?
Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m
Therefore,
7840 N = k (0.46 m)
k = 7840 N/0.46 m
<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>
