Answer:

ugmd = 1/2 kx²

d = (1/2 kx²) / (ugm)

= (1/2 * 250 N/m * (0.2 m)²) / (0.23 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.3 kg)

= 7.4 m

ugmd = 1/2 mv²

v = √2ugd

= √(2(0.23)(9.81 m/s²)(7.4 m)

= 5.8 m/s

If a 1 kg book has 46 Joules of gravitational potential energy how high is the shelf it is on?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

4.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 46J

Unknown:

Height of the shelf  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is due to the position of a body above the ground.

        Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

m is the mass,

g is the acceleration due gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height which is unknown

                       46  = 1 x 9.8 x h

                       h  = 4.7m

Which is true?The photoelectric effect occurs only for frequencies below the cutoff frequency, regardless of the intensity.The p
Crank

Answer:

The photoelectric effect occurs only for frequencies above the cutoff frequency, regardless of the intensity.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect occurs when light is shined on metals such as zinc beyond a certain frequency (the threshold frequency), which causes electrons to escape from the zinc. The electrons which are fleeing are called photo electrons.

Therefore photo electric effect is

The photoelectric effect occurs only for frequencies above the cutoff frequency, regardless of the intensity.

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle
Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are n_{red} = 1.344 & n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of violet light in the glass v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}

Here

\theta_1 = angle of incidence

\theta_2 = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{red} × \sin 38.4

n_{red} = 1.344

For violet light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{violet} × \sin 36.4

n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

n = \frac{c}{v}

n_{red} = 1.344

v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }

v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}

v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}

v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.
