What is the purpose of Physical Science?

1 answer:

Both answers are true. Things like basic quantum mechanics helped us better our technology like iPhones. And the second option explains itself. We get to understand the universe better and predict phenomena when we learn more about any Physical Science

1. A 0.40 kg ball is launched at a speed of 16 m/s from a 22 m cliff.

Masja [62]

Answer:

51.2 J, 86.2 J, 137.4 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 0.40 kg is its mass

v = 16 m/s is its speed

Substituting,

$K=\frac{1}{2}(0.40)(16)^2=51.2 J$

The potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m = 0.40 kg

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h = 22 m is the heigth of the cliff

Substituting,

$U=(0.40)(9.8)(22)=86.2 J$

Finally, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy:

$E=K+U=51.2 + 86.2=137.4 J$

Spacetime interval: What is the interval between two events if in some given inertial reference frame the events are separated b

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a. $\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2$

b. $\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2$

c. $\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2$

Explanation:

The spacetime interval $\Delta s^2$ is given by

$\Delta s ^2 = \Delta (c t) ^ 2 - \Delta \vec{x}^2$

please, be aware this is the definition for the signature ( + - - - ), for the signature (- + + + ) the spacetime interval is given by:

$\Delta s ^2 = - \Delta (c t) ^ 2 + \Delta \vec{x}^2$ .

Lets work with the signature ( + - - - ), and, if needed in the other signature, we can multiply our interval by -1.

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (7.5 \ 10 \ m)^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 5,625 m^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 3 \ s)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (899,377,374 \ m)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2 - 5,625 m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 0.58 \ s)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (173,879,625.6 \ m)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2 - 2,500 m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 58 \ s)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (1.73879 \ 10^{10} \ m)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2 - 2,500 m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2$

A supersonic jet, with a mass of 21,000 kg, departs from its home airbase with a velocity of 400 m/s due east. What is the jet’s

disa [49]

Answer:

Momentum P is 840000kgm/s or 8.4 × 10^6

Explanation:

Data :

Mass = 21000 kg

Velocity = 400 m/s

So momentum is given as

P = mv

P = 21000×400

P = 8400000 kgm/s

P = 8.4 × 10^6

A 30.0-kg girl in a swing is pushed to one side and held at rest by a horizontal force \vec{F} F ⃗ so that the swing ropes

Virty [35]

Answer:

169.74 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the girl = 30 Kg

angle of the rope with vertical, θ = 30°

equating the vertical component of the tension

vertical component of the tension is equal to the weight of the girl.

T cos θ = m g

T cos 30° = 30 x 9.8

T = 339.48 N

Tension on the two ropes is equal to 339.48 N

Tension in each of the rope = T/2

= 339.48/2 = 169.74 N

Hence, the tension in each of the rope is equal to 169.74 N
