Two rock climbers, bill and karen, use safety ropes of similar length. karen's rope is more elastic, called a dynamic rope by cl

imbers. bill has a static rope, not recommended for safety purposes in pro climbing. karen falls freely about 2.0 m and then the rope stops her over a distance of 0.9 m.

Answer:

The answer is 2.8 times.

Explanation:

Speed ​​needs to be calculated when Karen completes the 2.0m drop, using the following equation:

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2gd = 0^2 + 2*9.81 m/s^2 * 2.0 m = 39.24 m^2/s^2 => V = 6.26 m/s

From there, the rope has a net force which causes a constant acceleration, which can be calculated according to the equation:

Vo = 6.26 m/s

Vf = 0

Vf^2 = Vo^2 + 2ad => a = [Vf^2 - Vo^2]/2d = [0^2 - (6.26 m/s)^2]/2*(0.9m) = -17.63 m/s^2

That acceleration is due to the difference between the force exerted by the rope and Karen's weight:

Karen's weight = mg

Karen's Weight - String Force = Net Force = ma

mg - chord force = ma

String strength = mg - ma = m (g -a) = m [9.81 m/s^2 - (-17.63m/s^2)] = 27.44m

Dividing by weight:

 27.44m/9.81m = 2.79 = 2.8 times

The answer is three times.

According to the equation for the Balmer line spectrum of hydrogen, a value of n = 3 gives a red spectral line at 656.3 nm, a va
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

E3 = 3.03 10⁻¹⁶ kJ,  E4 = 4.09 10⁻¹⁶ kJ and  E5 = 4.58 10⁻¹⁶ kJ

Explanation:

They give us some spectral lines of the Balmer series, let's take the opportunity to place the values in SI units

     n = 3        λ = 656.3 nm = 656.3 10⁻⁹ m

     n = 4        λ = 486.1 nm = 486.1 10⁻⁹ m

     n = 5        λ=434.0 nm = 434.0 10⁻⁹ m

Let's use the Planck equation

     E = h f

The speed of light equation

   c = λ f

replace

    E = h c /λ

Where h is the Planck constant that is worth 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s and c is the speed of light that is worth 3 10⁸ m / s

Let's calculate the energies

     E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / λ

     E = 19.89 10⁻²⁶ /λ

n = 3

    E3 = 19.89 10⁻²⁶ / 656.3 10⁻⁹

    E3 = 3.03 10⁻¹⁹ J

    1 kJ = 10³ J

    E3 = 3.03 10⁻¹⁶ kJ

n = 4

    E4 = 19.89 10⁻²⁶ /486.1 10⁻⁹

    E4 = 4.09 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E4 = 4.09 10⁻¹⁶ kJ

n = 5

    E5 = 19.89 10⁻²⁶ /434.0 10⁻⁹

    E5 = 4.58 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E5 = 4.58 10⁻¹⁶ kJ

A uniform steel rod of length 0.9 m and mass 3.8 kg has two point masses of 2.3 kg each at the two ends. Calculate the moment of
polet [3.4K]

Answer: 2.4705\ kg.m^2

Explanation:

Given

length of the rod is L=0.9 m

Mass of the rod m=3.8 kg

Point masses has mass of m=2.3 kg

Moment of Inertia of the rod about the center is

\Rightarrow I_o=\dfrac{1}{12}ML^2

Moment of inertia of combined system is the sum of rod and two point masses.

\Rightarrow I=I_o+2mr^2

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{12}3.8\times 0.9^2+2\times 2.3\times \left(\dfrac{0.9}{2}\right)^2\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.539+0.9315\\\Rightarrow I=2.4705\ kg-m^2
