Suppose an object is launched from a point 320 feet above the earth with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec upward, and the only

force acting on it thereafter is gravity. Take g = 32 ft/sec2 . (a) Find the highest altitude attained by the object. (b) Determine how long it takes for the object to fall to the ground.

Answer:

(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .

(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.

u is usually used for notation of initial notation.

Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.

The final velocity is denoted by v.

Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

(a)

Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².

At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0

Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.

Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².

To find the time this to happen we use the following formula

v=u+at

Here v=0

⇒0=128+(-32) t

⇒32t=128

⇒t = 4 sec

To determine the height we use the following formula

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2

⇒s= 256 ft

Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .

(b)

At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.

so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec²  [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft

To determine the time to fall we use the following formula

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2

\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576

\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}

\Rightarrow t^2=36

⇒t=6 sec

Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

What is the reflectivity of a glass surface (n =1.5) in air (n = 1) at an 45° for (a) S-polarized light and (b) P-polarized ligh
Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) R_s = 0.092

b) R_p = 0.085

Explanation:

given,

n =1.5 for glass surface

n = 1 for air

incidence angle = 45°

using Fresnel equation of reflectivity of S and P polarized light

R_s=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_i-n_2cos\theta_t}{n_1cos\theta_i+n_2cos\theta_t} \right |^2\\R_p=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_t-n_2cos\theta_i}{n_1cos\theta_t+n_2cos\theta_i} \right |^2

using snell's law to calculate θ t

sin \theta_t = \dfrac{n_1sin\theta_i}{n_2}=\dfrac{sin45^0}{1.5}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{3}

cos \theta_t =\sqrt{1-sin^2\theta_t} = \dfrac{sqrt{7}}{3}

a) R_s=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}} \right |^2

R_s = 0.092

b) R_p=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}-\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}}{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}+\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}} \right |^2

R_p = 0.085

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A. False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength.

For example: a high frequency would mean there are shorter wavelengths that occur in a period. Meanwhile, a low frequency would indicate that the wavelengths are longer and in longer periods.
