A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.

natita [175]

Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

$K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

where $m$ is the mass of the object, and $v$ is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

mass of the ball
velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.

Suppose light from a 632.8 nm helium-neon laser shines through a diffraction grating ruled at 520 lines/mm. How many bright line

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the position of the m-th order brigh line (constructive interference) produced by diffraction of light through a diffraction grating is:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

where

m is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

D is the distance of the screen

d is the separation between two adjacent slit

Here we have:

$\lambda=632.8 nm = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the light

D = 1 m is the distance of the screen (not given in the problem, so we assume it to be 1 meter)

$n=520 lines/mm$ is the number of lines per mm, so the spacing between two lines is

$d=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{520}=1.92\cdot 10^{-3} mm = 1.92\cdot 10^{-6} m$

Therefore, substituting m = 1, we find:

$y=\frac{(632.8\cdot 10^{-9})(1)}{1.92\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.330 m$

So, on the distant screen, there is 1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

What is the heat flux (W/m^2), due to radiation heat transfer, from a black body if the surface temperature is 1000C? The convec

12345 [234]

Answer:

55000 W/m²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Surface temperature, T = 1000°C

Hear transfer coefficient, h = 55 W/m²C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is given as:

h = Heat flux/Temperature

Hence, Heat Flux, q, is given as:

q = h * T

q = 55 * 1000 = 55000 W/m²C
