Answer:

23.64 m

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

Where m us the mass of snowball, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height.

Also, the weight of an object is given by W=mg hence replacing mg in the above equation with W we obtain

PE=Wh

Making h the subject of the formula then

$h=\frac {PE}{W}$

Substituting 520 J for PE and 22 N for W then

$h=\frac {520J}{22}=23.636363636363m\\h\approx$

Light from a helium-neon laser (λ=633nm) passes through a circular aperture and is observed on a screen 4.0 m behind the apertur

devlian [24]

Answer:

d = 0.247 mm

Explanation:

given,

λ = 633 nm

distance from the hole to the screen = L = 4 m

width of the central maximum = 2.5 cm

2 y = 0.025 m

y = 0.0125 m

For circular aperture

$sin \theta = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}$

using small angle approximation

$\theta = \dfrac{y}{D}$

now,

$\dfrac{y}{D} = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}$

$y = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda\ D}{d}$

$d = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda\ D}{y}$

$d = 1.22\dfrac{633\times 10^{-9}\times 4}{0.0125}$

d =0.247 x 10⁻³ m

d = 0.247 mm

the diameter of the hole is equal to 0.247 mm

The 68-kg crate is stationary when the force P is applied. Determine the resulting acceleration of the crate if (a) P = 0, (b) P

bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

Mass of the crate, m = 68 kg

We need to find the resulting acceleration if :

(a) Force, P = 0

P = m a

⇒ a = 0

(b) P = 181 N

$a=\dfrac{P}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{181\ N}{68\ kg}$

$a=2.67\ m/s^2$

(c) P = 352 N

$a=\dfrac{P}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{352\ N}{68\ kg}$

$a=5.17\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.
