If an object free-falls for t seconds from rest to d distance, how far will the object fall from rest in twice the elapsed time?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

When the time of fall is doubled, the height of fall will be quadrupled

Explanation:

Given;

height of fall, h = d m

time of fall, t = t s

initial velocity of the object, u = 0 m/d

The height of fall of the object is calculated from the kinematic equation below;

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\2h = gt^2\\\\g = \frac{2h}{t^2}$

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity, which is constant

if the time of fall is doubled, the height of fall is calculated as;

$\frac{2h_1}{t_1^2} = \frac{2h_2}{t_2^2} \\\\\frac{h_1}{t_1^2} = \frac{h_2}{t_2^2}\\\\(Note: h_1 = d, \ and \ t_1 = t)\\\\h_2 = \frac{h_1t_2^2}{t_1^2} \\\\h_2 = \frac{(d)(2t_1)^2}{t_1^2} \\\\h_2 = \frac{(d)(2t)^2}{t^2}\\\\h_2 = \frac{(d)\times 4t^2}{t^2}\\\\h_2 = 4d$

Therefore, when the time of fall is doubled, the height of fall will be quadrupled

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

Both thermometer has same ice point = $T_i\ =\ 0^o C$
Both thermometer has same steam point = $T_s\ =\ 100^o C$

Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion. Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.

When an object falls, its:

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option D. is correct.

Explanation:

The object's mechanical energy refers to the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of the object. When an object falls, its potential energy (PE) decreases, and its kinetic energy (KE) increases. The increase in kinetic energy is exactly equal to the decrease in potential energy.

Option D. is correct.

Consider Compton Scattering with visible light.A photon with wavelength 500nm scatters backward(theta=180degree) from a free ele

JulijaS [17]

Answer: $4.86(10)^{-12}m$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda'=500 nm=500(10)^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the scattered photon

$\lambda_{o}$ is the wavelength of the incident photon

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}.c}$ , being $h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ the speed of light in vacuum.

$\theta=180\°$ the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

$\Delta \lambda=2.43(10)^{-12} m (1-cos(180\°))$ (2)

$\Delta \lambda=4.86(10)^{-12}m$ (3) This is the shift in wavelength
