Answer:

On the wavelength

Explanation:

Visible light is just a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which classifies all the electromagnetic waves from shortest wavelength (gamma rays) to longest wavelength (radio waves).

Visible light refers to the part of the spectrum which has wavelength between 380 nm and 750 nm. These are the only electromagnetic wave that our eyes can see, and depending on their wavelength, they appear as a different color. In particular, each color corresponds to a different range of wavelengths:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

A spring with spring constant 11.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A 490 g ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to res

Natalija [7]

Answer:

The time constant is $\tau = 17.5 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The spring constant is $k = 11.5 \ N/m$

The mass of the ball is $m_b = 490 \ g = 0.49 \ kg$

The amplitude of the oscillation t the beginning is $x = 6.70 cm = 0.067 \ m$

The amplitude after time t is $x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \ m$

The number of oscillation is $N = 30$

Generally the time taken to attain the second amplitude is mathematically represented as

$t = N * T$ Here T is the period of oscillation

$t = N * 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

=> $t = 30 * 2 * 3.142 * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.490}{11.5} }$

=> $t = 38.88 \ s$

Generally the amplitude at time t is mathematically represented as

$x(t) = x e^{-\frac{at}{2m} }$

Here a is the damping constant so

at $t = 38.88 \ s$ , $x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \ m$

$0.022 = 0.067 e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

=> $0.3284 = e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

taking natural log of both sides

=> $ln(0.3284 ) = -\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

=> $a = 0.028$

Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as

$\tau = \frac{m}{a}$

=> $\tau = \frac{0.490}{ 0.028}$

=> $\tau = 17.5 \ s$

A ball is dropped from a building taking 3sec to fall to the ground. Calculate:

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

Data:

Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) = 3 s
Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
Height (h) = ?

==================================================================

Final Velocity

Use formula:

Vf = g * t

Replace:

Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s

Multiply:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

==================================================================

Height

Use formula:

$\boxed{h=\frac{g*(t)^{2}}{2}}$

Replace:

$\boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(3s)^{2}}{2}}$

Multiply time squared:

$\boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*9s^{2}}{2}}$

Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:

$\boxed{h=\frac{88.2m}{2}}$

It divides:

$\boxed{h=44.1\ m}$

What is the velocity when falling to the ground?

The final velocity is 29.4 meters per seconds.

How high is the building?

The height of the building is 44.1 meters.
