Answer:
1.) h = 164.8 m
2.) U = 49.1 m/s
3.) t = 1.43 seconds
Explanation:
1.) A soccer ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 5.8 seconds to fall to the ground. The height of the building is...?
Since the soccer ball is dropped from the building, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero
Using second equation of motion
h = Ut + 1/2gt^2
Substitutes the time into the formula
h = 1/2 × 9.8 × 5.8^2
h = 164.8 m
2. The Falcon 9 launches to a height of 123 meters. What is its vertical initial velocity?
At maximum height final velocity = 0
Using the third law of motion
V^2 = U^2 - 2gH
0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 123
U^2 = 2410.8
U = 49.1 m/s
3. An apple falls from rest off a 10.m m tree. How long will it take before it hits the ground?
Since the apple fall from rest, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero
Using the second equation of motion,
h = Ut + 1/2gt^2
substitute all the parameters into the formula
10 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2
10 = 4.9t^2
t^2 = 10/4.9
t^2 = 2.04
t = 1.43 seconds
Answer:
Explanation:
The refractive index of a medium is a measure to know how much the speed of light within the medium is reduced. It can be calculated with the next equation:
(1)
Where:
The speed of light in the vacuum is approximately 300,000 km/s. In order to work with the same units let's do the proper conversion with the velocity of the medium:
Finally, replacing the data in (1):
Answer:
276.135 J
Explanation:
Given that:
mass of Fe = 30.0 g
initial temperature = 24.5°C
final temperature = 45.0°C
specific heat of Fe = 0.449 J/g°C
We can determine the thermal energy added by using the formula;
Q = mcΔT
Q = 30.0g × 0.449 J/g°C × (45.0 - 24.5)°C
Q = 276.135 J
Answer:
Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.
This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.
