Two identical vertical springs S1 and S2 have masses m1 = 400 g and m2 = 800 g attached to them. If m1 causes spring S1 to stret

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

potential energy = mgh

= 400÷1000 × 10× 4÷100

= 0.4 × 10 × 0.04

=4/10 ×10×4/100

= 4/10 × 4/10

=16/100

= 0.16 joules

m1 (400) stretches 4cm

m1 (100g) stretches 1cm

so, m2(800g) stretches 8 cm

potential energy of m2 = mgh

= 800/1000 ×10×8/100

= 0.8 × 0.8

=8/10 ×8/10

= 64/100

=0.64 joules

Ratio of s1 to s2

16/100 ÷ 64/100

= 1:4 ( answer)

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second

vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

$I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta$

Where

$\theta =$ Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

$I_0 =$ Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

$I = \frac{I_0}{2}$

Replacing we have that

$I = \frac{370}{2}$

$I = 185W/m^2$

Re-arrange the equation,

$I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta$

Re-arrange to find \theta

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})$

$\theta = 0.5282rad$

$\theta = 30.27\°$

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

Compared to a stationary galaxy, light from a galaxy that is moving away from earth will appear _____.

Vlad1618 [11]

"B" When an object moves away from us, the light is shifted to the red end of the spectrum, as its wavelengths get longer.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.23 2.23 times a second. A tack is stuck in the t

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Angular velocity ( $\omega$ ) = 2.23 rps

Distance from the center (R) = 0.379 m

First, we will convert revolutions per second into radian per second as follows.

= 2.23 revolutions per second

= $2.23 \times 2 \times 3.14 rad/s$

= 14.01 rad/s

Now, tangential speed will be calculated as follows.

Tangential speed, v = $R \times \omega$

= 0.379 x 14.01

= 5.31 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the tack's tangential speed is 5.31 m/s.
