Answer:

v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

Explanation:

We will apply the equations of kinematics to both stones separately.

First stone:

Let us denote the time spent after the second stone is thrown as 'T'.

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}(t+T) + \frac{1}{2}a(t+T)^2\\0 - h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(-g)(t+T)^2\\(t+T)^2 = \frac{2h}{g}\\T = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}-t

Second stone:

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2\\0 - h = v_{y_0}T -\frac{1}{2}gT^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t)^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\frac{2h}{g} + t^2 - 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})\\-h = v_{y_0}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - v_{y_0}t - h -\frac{g}{2}t^2 + gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) = \frac{g}{2}t^2 - gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

Calculate the energy, wavelength, and frequency of the emitted photon when an electron moves from an energy level of -3.40 eV to
jasenka [17]

Answer:

(a) The energy of the photon is 1.632 x 10^{-8} J.

(b) The wavelength of the photon is 1.2 x 10^{-17} m.

(c) The frequency of the photon is 2.47 x 10^{25} Hz.

Explanation:

Let;

E_{1} = -13.60 ev

E_{2} = -3.40 ev

(a) Energy of the emitted photon can be determined as;

E_{2} - E_{1} = -3.40 - (-13.60)

           = -3.40 + 13.60

           = 10.20 eV

           = 10.20(1.6 x 10^{-9})

E_{2} - E_{1} = 1.632 x 10^{-8} Joules

The energy of the emitted photon is 10.20 eV (or 1.632 x 10^{-8} Joules).

(b) The wavelength, λ, can be determined as;

E = (hc)/ λ

where: E is the energy of the photon, h is the Planck's constant (6.6 x 10^{-34} Js), c is the speed of light (3 x 10^{8} m/s) and λ is the wavelength.

10.20(1.6 x 10^{-9}) = (6.6 x 10^{-34} * 3 x 10^{8})/ λ

λ = \frac{1.98*10^{-25} }{1.632*10^{-8} }

  = 1.213 x 10^{-17}

Wavelength of the photon is 1.2 x 10^{-17} m.

(c) The frequency can be determined by;

E = hf

where f is the frequency of the photon.

1.632 x 10^{-8}  = 6.6 x 10^{-34} x f

f = \frac{1.632*10^{-8} }{6.6*10^{-34} }

 = 2.47 x 10^{25} Hz

Frequency of the emitted photon is 2.47 x 10^{25} Hz.

swings a 5.5 kg cup of water in a vertical circle of radius 1.9 m. (a) What minimum speed must the cup have in this demo if the
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

4.32

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of any object is given as

A(cr) = v²/r, where

A(c) = the centripetal acceleration

v = the linear acceleration

r = the given radius, 1.9 m

Since we are not given directly the centripetal acceleration, we'd be using the value of acceleration due to gravity, 9.8. This means that

9.8 = v²/1.9

v² = 1.9 * 9.8

v² = 18.62

v = √18.62

v = 4.32 m/s

This means that, the minimum speed the cup must have so as not to get wet or any spill is 4.32 m/s
