Answer:

The cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is 137.2 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of cat = 7 kg

Height of bookshelf = 2 m

The gravitational potential energy :

The gravitational potential energy is the product of the mass of the object, gravity and height of the object from the ground.

The gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is

P.E = mgh-0

P.E = 7\times9.8\times2-0

P.E=137.2\ J

Hence, The cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is 137.2 Joules.

PE = mgh
      Mass, m = 7kg, g ≈ 10 m/s², height = 2m     
 
      = 7*10*2
 
       = 140 Joules.

Harry and ron set up this experiment with a glider, whose mass they have measured to be 565 g, and seven washers hanging from th
svetlana [45]
Let's call m=565~g=0.565~kg the mass of the glider and m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string. 
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
F_{net} = m_w g
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is m+m_w) and the acceleration a:
F_{net}=(m+m_w)a
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
m_w g = (m+m_w)a
and from this we can find the acceleration:
a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2

A 12.0 μF capacitor is charged to a potential of 50.0 V and then discharged through a 265 Ω resistor. A)How long does the capaci
larisa [96]

(a) The time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms.

(b) The time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its charge</h3>

q(t) = q₀e-^(t/RC)

q(t)/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5q₀/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5 = e-^(t/RC)

1/2 =  e-^(t/RC)

t/RC = ln(2)

t = RC x ln(2)

t = (12 x 10⁻⁶ x 265) x ln(2)

t = 2.2 x 10⁻³ s

t = 2.2 ms

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its stored energy</h3>

U(t) = Ue-^(t/RC)

U = ¹/₂Q²/C

(Ue-^(t/RC))²/2C = Q₀²/2Ce

e^(2t/RC) = e

2t/RC = 1

t = RC/2

t = (265 x 12 x 10⁻⁶)/2

t = 1.59 x 10⁻³ s

t = 1.59 ms

Thus, the time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms and the time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

A slit has a width of W1 = 4.4 × 10-6 m. When light with a wavelength of λ1 = 487 nm passes through this slit, the width of the
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is 4.48*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to interference from two sources. Destructive interference produces the dark fringes.  Dark fringes in the diffraction pattern of a single slit are found at angles θ for which

w sin\theta = m\lambda

Where,

w = width

\lambda =wavelength

m is an integer, m = 1, 2, 3...

We here know that as sin\theta as w are constant, then

\frac{w_1}{\lambda_1} = \frac{w_2}{\lambda_2}

We need to find w_2, then

w_2 = \frac{w_1}{\lambda_1}\lambda_2

Replacing with our values:

w_2 = \frac{4.4*10^{-6}}{487}496

w_2 = 4.48*10^{-6}m

Therefore the width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is 4.48*10^{-6}m

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

0.0443 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of honeybee = 0.15 g

m_2 = Mass of popsicle stick = 4.75 g

v_1 = Velocity of honeybee

v_2 = Velocity of stick = 0.14 cm/s

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{4.75\times 0.14}{0.15}\\\Rightarrow v_1=4.43\ m/s

The velocity of the bee is 4.43 cm/s or 0.0443 m/s
