A) The answer is 11.53 m/s

The final kinetic energy (KEf) is the sum of initial kinetic energy (KEi) and initial potential energy (PEi).
KEf = KEi + PEi

Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KEf = 1/2 m * vf²
KEi = 1/2 m * vi²

Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PEi = m * a * h

So:
KEf = KEi + <span>PEi
</span>1/2 m * vf² =  1/2 m * vi² + m * a * h
..
Divide all sides by m:
1/2 vf² =  1/2 vi² + a * h

We know:
vi = 9.87 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
h = 1.81 m

1/2 vf² =  1/2 * 9.87² + 9.8 * 1.81
1/2 vf² = 48.71 + 17.74
1/2 vf² = 66.45
vf² = 66.45 * 2
vf² = 132.9
vf = √132.9
vf = 11.53 m/s


b) The answer is 6.78 m

The kinetic energy at the bottom (KE) is equal to the potential energy at the highest point (PE)
KE = PE

Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KE = 1/2 m * v²

Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PE = m * a * h

KE = PE
1/2 m * v² = m * a * h

Divide both sides by m:
1/2 * v² = a * h
v = 11.53 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s² 
h = ?

1/2 * 11.53² = 9.8 * h
1/2 * 132.94 = 9.8 * h
66.47 = 9.8 * h
h = 66.47 / 9.8
h = 6.78 m

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh
kkurt [141]

Answer:

t = 120.5 nm

Explanation:

given,    

refractive index of the oil = 1.4

wavelength of the red light = 675 nm

minimum thickness of film = ?

formula used for the constructive interference

2 n t = (m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda

where n is the refractive index of oil

t is thickness of film

for minimum thickness

m = 0

2 \times 1.4 \times t = (0+\dfrac{1}{2})\times 675

t = \dfrac{0.5\times 675}{2\times 1.4}

        t = 120.5 nm

hence, the thickness of the oil is t = 120.5 nm

A driver with a 0.80-s reaction time applies the brakes, causing the car to have acceleration opposite the direction of motion.
jeka94

Answer:

a) During the reaction time, the car travels 21 m

b) After applying the brake, the car travels 48 m before coming to stop

Explanation:

The equation for the position of a straight movement with variable speed is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

where

x: position at time t

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

When the speed is constant (as before applying the brake), the equation would be:

x = x0 + v t

a)Before applying the brake, the car travels at constant speed. In 0.80 s the car will travel:

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 0.80 s = <u>21 m  </u>

b) After applying the brake, the car has an acceleration of -7.0 m/s². Using the equation for velocity, we can calculate how much time it takes the car to stop (v = 0):

v = v0 + a* t

0 = 26 m/s + (-7.0 m/s²) * t

-26 m/s / - 7.0 m/s² = t

t = 3.7 s

With this time, we can calculate how far the car traveled during the deacceleration.

x = x0 +v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 3.7 s - 1/2 * 7.0m/s² * (3.7 s)² = <u>48 m</u>
