Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 20.0 m above water wit

h an initial speed of 15.0 m/s strikes the water with a speed of 24.8 m/s independent of the direction thrown. (Hint: show that $$K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f)$$

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge is 20m

Initial before he throws the rock

The height is hi = 20 m

Then, final height hitting the water

hf = 0 m

Initial speed the rock is throw

Vi = 15m/s

The final speed at which the rock hits the water

Vf = 24.8 m/s

Using conservation of energy given by the question hint

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ki is initial kinetic energy

Ui is initial potential energy

Kf is final kinetic energy

Uf is final potential energy

Then,

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ei = Ki + Ui

Where Ei is initial energy

Ei = ½mVi² + m•g•hi

Ei = ½m × 15² + m × 9.8 × 20

Ei = 112.5m + 196m

Ei = 308.5m J

Now,

Ef = Kf + Uf

Ef = ½mVf² + m•g•hf

Ef = ½m × 24.8² + m × 9.8 × 0

Ef = 307.52m + 0

Ef = 307.52m J

Since Ef ≈ Ei, then the rock thrown from the tip of a bridge is independent of the direction of throw

Sonia's grandfather was not able to see clearly after returning from his walk on a bright sunny day. He was about to hit a chair
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Sonia's grandfather was not able to see clearly after returning from his walk on a bright sunny day. He was about to hit a chair when Sonia held him and guided him to the nearby sofa, in sunny environment grandfather's eye is set according to high brightness, his pupils become small to lower the number of light rays entering his eye, when he returned from sunny environment to his house which was having low brightness so the pupils should enlarge to absorb more light to see clearly but due to old age his Ciliary muscle of the eye would have worn out and due to this poor coordination the image was not clear.

Linh builds a circuit from the diagram shown. Which bulb could Linh remove from the circuit to make all of the other bulbs stop
LenKa [72]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

In order for the current to continue flowing through the circuit (and for the bulbs to continue shining), there must be a closed path containing the battery where current can flow. Let's see the effect of removing each bulb on the circuit:

- 1: when removing bulb 1 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 2: when removing bulb 2 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 3: when removing bulb 3 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 1-bulb 2- bulb 4

- 4: when removing bulb 4 only, the current can no longer flow. In fact, there is no closed path that contains the battery now, so the current will not flow and all the bulbs will stop shining.

Monochromatic light of wavelength 385 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 3.00 m away, the distance between the second
LiRa [457]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the concept of overlap and constructive interference.

For this purpose we have that the constructive interference in waves can be expressed under the function

a sin\theta = m\lambda

Where

a = Width of the slit

d = Distance of slit to screen

m = Number of order which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

\theta = Angle between incident rays and scatter planes

At the same time the distance on the screen from the central point, would be

sin\theta = \frac{y}{d}

Where y = Represents the distance on the screen from the central point

PART A ) From the previous equation if we arrange to find the angle we have that

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{y}{d})

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.4*10^{-2}}{3})

\theta = 0.2673\°

PART B) Equation both equations we have

a sin\theta = m\lambda

a \frac{y}{d} = m\lambda

Re-arrange to find a,

a = \frac{(2)(385*10^{-9})(3)}{(1.4*10^{-2})}

a = 1.65*10^{-4}m
