A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 4 m/s (~ 9 mph). Assume that g = 10 m/s^2. What

is the greatest height (in meters) reached by the ball?

Answer:

The greatest height reached by the ball is 0.8 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity = 4 m/s

We need to calculate the greatest height reached by the ball

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2gh

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

0=4^2+2\times(-10)\times h

h =\dfrac{16}{20}

h =0.8\ m

Hence, The greatest height reached by the ball is 0.8 m.

Answer:

s = 3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.

Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.

the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are

s = vt = 40(t + 2)  cm

s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm

they pass when their distance is the same

½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)

10t² = 40t + 80

0 = 10t² - 40t - 80

0 = t² - 4t - 8

t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)

t = (4± 6.928) / 2  ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.

t = 5.464 s

s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm

300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.

A cylinder which is in a horizontal position contains an unknown noble gas at 4.63 × 104 Pa and is sealed with a massless piston
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure P=4.63\times10^{4}\ Pa

Remove heat \Delta U= -1.95\times10^{4}\ J

Radius = 0.272 m

Distance d = 0.163 m

We need to calculate the internal energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

dU=Q-W...(I)

Where, dU = internal energy

Q = heat

W = work done

Put the value of W in equation (I)

dU=Q-PdV

Where, W = PdV

Put the value in the equation

dU=-1.95\times10^{4}-(4.63\times10^{4}\times3.14\times(0.272)^2\times(-0.163))

dU=-17746.78\ J

Hence, The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

A bolt of lightning discharges 9.7 C in 8.9 x 10^-5 s. What is the average current during the discharge?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged Q=9.7\C

time taken t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A

Therefore, the average current is 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”
dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

1)

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

2)

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1, n_2 are the index of refraction of the two mediums

\theta_1, \theta_2 are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)

Here we want the direction of propagation of the light ray not to change: this means that it must be

sin \theta_1 = sin \theta_2 (1)

However, here we have two mediums "a" and "b" with different index of refraction, so

n_1\neq n_2

Therefore the only angle that can satisfy eq.(1) is

\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 0

So, the light must hit the surface perpendicular to the interface between the two mediums.

4. X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is a) Not very dangerous because the X-rays are absorbed in the
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

c) Very dangerous and users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures.

Explanation:

X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation and are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is very dangerous because of their high energy and wavelength.

Hence, users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures. The best shielding device to protect one from exposure is Lead.
