A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.3-m-high frictionless hill, starting from rest, across a 2.0-m-wide horizontal surface, then hits a

horizontal spring with spring constant 510 N/m. The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.0-m-long horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this surface is 0.22. What is the speed of the box just before reaching the rough surface? What is the speed of the box just before hitting the spring? How far is the spring compressed? Including the first crossing, how many complete trips will the box make across the rough surface before coming to rest?

Answer:

speed  before reaching rough surface = 9.18 m/s

speed before hitting spring = 8.70 m/s

spring compression = 82 cm

number of complete trip = 9

Explanation:

Lets say

Position 1: On top of hill

Position 2: down the hill

Position 3: after the rough surface

Position 4: after hitting the spring

We'll strictly use conservation of energy for this equation

Potential energy on top of energy is full converted into kinetic energy down the hill (since surface is frictionless)

Hence, PEg1 = KE2

mgh = (1/2)mv2^2

(4.5)(9.8)(4.3) = (1/2)(4.5)v2^2

189.63 = (1/2)(4.5)v2^2

v2^2 = 2(9.8)(4.3) = 84.28

v2 = sqrt(84.28) = 9.18 m/s

After down the hill, it passes a rough surface. So some of the energy is loss due to friction forces

Friction force, Ff = u (coeff of kinetic friction ) x N (normal force)

Normal force, N = weight of box = mg = 4.5 x 9.8

Ff = 0.22 x 4.5 x 9.8

Work done / Energy loss = Wf = Ff x d (distance)

Wf = 0.22 x 4.5 x 9.8 x 2 = 19.404

Energy after passing the rough surface is totally kinetic energy

KE3 = KE2 - Wf = 189.63 - 19.404 = 170.226

speed after rough surface,

(1/2)mv3^2 = 170.226

v3 = sqrt((2 x 170.226)/4.5) = 8.70 m/s

After hitting the spring, all the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy of spring

170.226 = (1/2)kx^2

x^2 = 2 x 170.226 / 510     {note that constant of spring, k = 510}

x^2 = 0.668

x = sqrt(0.668) = 0.82m (82 cm)

To calculate complete trip before the box coming to rest, note that the only place where it loss energy is at the rough surface.

Energy before the first time pass rough surface = 189.63

Energy loss each time passing rough surface = 19.404

189.63 / 19.404 = 9.773 (9 complete with balance of 0.773)

That mean, the box will pass the rough surface 9 complete trip before coming to rest

In a thin film experiment, a wedge of air is used between two glass plates. If the wavelength of the incident light in air is 48
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is  \Delta y =  2.4 *10^{-6} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength is  \lambda  = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \  m

    The first order of the dark  fringe is  m_1 =  16

     The second order of dark fringe considered is  m_2 = 6

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

        y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So  the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

      y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} -  \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}

=>  y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} -  \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}

=>  y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  5 (480*10^{-9})

=>  \Delta y =  2.4 *10^{-6} \  m

11. एक समान चुम्बकीय क्षेत्र में लम्बवत प्रवेश करने वाले किसी आवेशित कण द्वारा प्राप्त वृत्तीय पथ की
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

<h2> r=mv/Be</h2>

Explanation:

If a positive charge enters a magnetic field at 90 degrees the charge is deflected in a circular path by a force that acts perpendicular to it in line with Flemings right-hand rule

to derive the radius of the path of the charge we apply

F= mv^2/r=Bev

where

m= mass of the electronic charge

e=charge

B=magnetic field

v=average speed

r=radius

 

rearranging we have

r=mv^2/Bev

r=mv/Be

A ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials. The medium the ray enters has a larger index of refraction.
Liula [17]

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater index of refraction. The wavelength of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.
