A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a cliff. At the same moment, a second identical ball is dropped from rest from

the same location. Which ball lands on the ground first? Assume free fall motion.
1. The horizontally projected ball lands on the ground first.2. The ball dropped from rest lands on the ground first.3. Both balls land on the ground at the same time.

Answer:3

Explanation:

First ball is thrown with horizontal velocity while other ball is dropped from cliff such that both have zero vertical velocity. So both balls have to cover a distance equal to the height of cliff with same initial velocity.

time taken is given by t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

where h=height of cliff

g=acceleration due to gravity

horizontal velocity to first ball will make the ball to travel more horizontal distance as compared to second ball.

Option 3 is correct

The focal length of a lens is inversely proportional to the quantity (n-1), where n is the index of refraction of the lens of th
Ainat [17]

Answer:

46.22 cm

Explanation:

The focal refraction, fr is given by

fr = \frac {c}{(1.572 -1)}  = \frac {c}{0 .572}  

The focal red light is given by

fv = \frac {c}{(1.605 - 1)} = \frac {c}{0.605}

\frac {fv}{fr} = \frac {0.572}{0 .605} = 0.945455

\frac {1}{fr} = \frac{1}{image} + \frac {1}{object} and making fr the subject we obtain

fr = \frac {image * object}{(image + object)} = \frac {24.00 * 55} {(24.0 + 55)} = 16.70886 cm

fv = 0.945455* 16.70886 cm = 15.79747 cm

image = \frac {object * f} {(object - f)} = \frac {15.79747 * 24.0}{(24.0 - 15.79747)} = 46.22222 cm

Therefore, violet image is approximately 46.22 cm

Your lab instructor has asked you to measure a spring constant using a dynamic method—letting it oscillate—rather than a sta
yuradex [85]

Answer:

  k = 6,547 N / m

Explanation:

This laboratory experiment is a simple harmonic motion experiment, where the angular velocity of the oscillation is

         w = √ (k / m)

angular velocity and rel period are  related

         w = 2π / T

substitution

         T = 2π √(m / K)

in Experimental measurements give us the following data

  m (g)     A (cm)    t (s)   T (s)

  100        6.5         7.8    0.78

  150        5.5          9.8   0.98

   200      6.0        10.9    1.09

   250       3.5        12.4    1.24

we look for the period that is the time it takes to give a series of oscillations, the results are in the last column

        T = t / 10

To find the spring constant we linearize the equation

        T² = (4π²/K)    m

therefore we see that if we make a graph of T² against the mass, we obtain a line, whose slope is

         m ’= 4π² / k

where m’ is the slope

           k = 4π² / m'

the equation of the line of the attached graph is

       T² = 0.00603 m + 0.0183

therefore the slope

       m ’= 0.00603  s²/g

    we calculate

         k = 4 π² / 0.00603

          k = 6547 g / s²

we reduce the mass to the SI system

         k = 6547 g / s² (1kg / 1000 g)

         k = 6,547 kg / s² =

         k = 6,547 N / m

let's reduce the uniqueness

         [N / m] = [(kg m / s²) m] = [kg / s²]

Practice: The speed of sound at sea level is normally about 340 m/s. A car honks its horn as it drives toward an observer. The f
stepan [7]

Answer:

25.5 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler effect occurs when there is relative motion between a source of a wave and an observer. In such situation, there is a shift in the apparent frequency of the wave perceived by the observer.

The formula that gives the apparent frequency perceived by the observer is:

f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f

where

f is the real frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency of the wave

v is the speed of the wave

v_s is the velocity of the source (negative if the source is moving towards the observer, positive otherwise)

v_o is the velocity of the observer (positive if the observer is moving towards the source, negative otherwise)

In this problem:

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound

f = 800 Hz is the frequency of the horn

f' = 860 Hz is the apparent frequency

v_o=0 (the observer is at rest)

Re-arranging the equation for v_s, we can find the velocity of the horn and the driver:

f'=\frac{v}{v-v_s}f\\(v-v_s)f'=vf\\vf'-v_sf'=vf\\v_s=v\frac{f'-f}{f'}=(340)\frac{860-800}{860}=25.5 m/s

So, 25.5 m/s towards the observer.
