Answer:

so initial speed of the rock is 30.32 m/s

correct answer is b. 30.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

h = 15.0m

v = 25m/s

weight of the rock m = 3.00N  

solution

we use here work-energy theorem that is express as here

work = change in the kinetic energy    ..............................1

so it can be written as

work = force × distance     ...................2

and

KE is express as

K.E = 0.5 × m × v²  

and it can be written as

F × d = 0.5 × m × (vf)² - (vi)²      ......................3

here

m is mass and vi and vf is initial and final velocity

F = mg = m  (-9.8)  , d = 15 m and v{f} = 25 m/s

so put value in equation 3 we get

m  (-9.8) × 15 = 0.5 × m × (25)² - (vi)²

solve it we get

(vi)² =  919

vi = 30.32 m/s

so initial speed of the rock is 30.32 m/s

In order to determine the mass moment of inertia of a flywheel of radius 600 mm, a 12-kg block is attached to a wire that is wra
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

When Mass of block is 12kg

M = 12kg

Block falls 3m in 4.6 seconds

When the mass of block is 24kg

M = 24kg

Block falls 3m in 3.1 seconds

The radius of the wheel is 600mm

R = 600mm = 0.6m

We want to find the moment of inertia of the flywheel

Taking moment about point G.

Then,

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

ΣM_G = Σ(M_G)_eff

M•g•R - Mf = I•α + M•a•R

Relationship between angular acceleration and linear acceleration

a = αR

α = a / R

M•g•R - Mf = I•a / R + M•a•R

Case 1, when y = 3 t = 4.6s

M = 12kg

Using equation of motion

y = ut + ½at², where u = 0m/s

3 = ½a × 4.6²

3 × 2 = 4.6²a

a = 6 / 4.6²

a = 0.284 m/s²

M•g•R - Mf = I•a / R + M•a•R

12 × 9.81 × 0.6 - Mf = I × 0.284/0.6 + 12 × 0.284 × 0.6

70.632 - Mf = 0.4726•I + 2.0448

Re arrange

0.4726•I + Mf = 70.632-2.0448

0.4726•I + Mf = 68.5832 equation 1

Second case

Case 2, when y = 3 t = 3.1s

M= 24kg

Using equation of motion

y = ut + ½at², where u = 0m/s

3 = ½a × 3.1²

3 × 2 = 3.1²a

a = 6 / 3.1²

a = 0.6243 m/s²

M•g•R - Mf = I•a / R + M•a•R

24 × 9.81 × 0.6 - Mf = I × 0.6243/0.6 + 24 × 0.6243 × 0.6

141.264 - Mf = 1.0406•I + 8.99

Re arrange

1.0406•I + Mf = 141.264 - 8.99

1.0406•I + Mf = 132.274 equation 2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously

Subtract equation 1 from 2,

Then, we have

1.0406•I - 0.4726•I = 132.274 - 68.5832

0.568•I = 63.6908

I = 63.6908 / 0.568

I = 112.13 kgm²

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

refractive \: index \:  =  \frac{3.0 \times  {10}^{2} }{2.0 \times  {10}^{2} }

= 1.5

refractive \: index =  \frac{ \sin(angle \: of \: incidence) }{ \sin(angle \: of \: refraction) }

1.5 =  \ \frac{ \sin(i) }{ \sin(30) }

1.5 × ½ = sin(i)

\sin(i)  =  0.75

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Len [333]
The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency. 

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases. 

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4
