Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3.0 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{v}{t} \\$

where

a is the acceleration

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question

v = 12 m/s

t = 4 s

We have

$a = \frac{12}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

In a photoelectric experiment, you shine light onto an electrode and record a current of 25 μA. When you apply +500 mV to the el

kkurt [141]

Answer:

2.083 V.

Explanation:

Stopping potential is the potential that is required to stop the current to zero . This potential is applied externally to oppose the potential created by the photoelectric effect . It gives the measure the photoelectric potential being generated .

Here current drops to 25 μA to 19 μA by a potential of 500mV

Change in current

= 25 - 19 = 6 μA

Voltage requirement for unit reduction in current

= 500 / 6 μA

To reduce current 0f 25 μA

requirement of V = (500 / 6 ) x 25 = 2083.33 mV = 2.083 V.

A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

For cast iron we have

$h = 0.92 m$

For copper

$h = 1.05 m$

For Lead

$h = 1.23 m$

For Zinc

$h = 2.43 m$

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

$W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta$

$v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}$

For cast iron we have

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}$

$h = 0.92 m$

For copper

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}$

$h = 1.05 m$

For Lead

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}$

$h = 1.23 m$

For Zinc

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}$

$h = 2.43 m$

Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0=1.00m and a mass M at temperature T=20.00°C. It can be

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The period will change a 0,036 % relative to its initial state

Explanation:

When the rod expands by heat its moment of inertia increases, but since there was no applied rotational force to the pendulum , the angular momentum remains constant. In other words:

ζ= Δ(Iω)/Δt, where ζ is the applied torque, I is moment of inertia, ω is angular velocity and t is time.

since there was no torque ( no rotational force applied)

ζ=0 → Δ(Iω)=0 → I₂ω₂ -I₁ω₁ = 0 → I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

thus

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ , (2) represents final state and (1) initial state

we know also that ω=2π/T , where T is the period of the pendulum

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ = (2π/T₁)/(2π/T₂)= T₂/T₁

Therefore to calculate the change in the period we have to calculate the moments of inertia. Looking at tables, can be found that the moment of inertia of a rod that rotates around an end is

I = 1/3 ML²

Therefore since the mass M is the same before and after the expansion

I₁ = 1/3 ML₁² , I₂ = 1/3 ML₂² → I₂/I₁ = (1/3 ML₂²)/(1/3 ML₁²)= L₂²/L₁²= (L₂/L₁)²

since

L₂= L₁ (1+αΔT) , L₂/L₁=1+αΔT , where ΔT is the change in temperature

now putting all together

T₂/T₁=I₂/I₁=(L₂/L₁)² = (1+αΔT) ²

finally

%change in period =(T₂-T₁)/T₁ = T₂/T₁ - 1 = (1+αΔT) ² -1

%change in period =(1+αΔT) ² -1 =[ 1+18×10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ *10 °C]² -1 = 3,6 ×10⁻⁴ = 3,6 ×10⁻² % = 0,036 %
