Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy  = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy  = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh

v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s

Since mass = 3.8kg

K.E =  1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

An object experiences an impulse, moves and attains a momentum of 200 kg·m/s. If its mass is 50 kg, what is its velocity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the object in this problem, we know:

p = 200 kg m/s is the momentum

m = 50 kg is the mass

Solving for the velocity, we find:

v=\frac{p}{m}=\frac{200}{50}=4 m/s

Briefly explain how a resonance tube works​
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

As the tines of the tuning fork vibrate at their own natural frequency, they created sound waves that impinge upon the opening of the resonance tube. These impinging sound waves produced by the tuning fork force air inside of the resonance tube to vibrate at the same frequency.

Assume that the loop is initially positioned at θ=30∘θ=30∘ and the current flowing into the loop is 0.500 AA . If the magnitude
labwork [276]

Answer:\tau=1.03\times 10^{-4}\ N-m

Torque,

Explanation:

Given that,

The loop is positioned at an angle of 30 degrees.

Current in the loop, I = 0.5 A

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.300 T, B = 0.3 T

We need to find the net torque about the vertical axis of the current loop due to the interaction of the current with the magnetic field. We know that the torque is given by :

\tau=NIAB\ \sin\theta

Let us assume that, A=0.0008\ m^2

\theta is the angle between normal and the magnetic field, \theta=90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}

Torque is given by :

\tau=1\times 0.5\ A\times 0.0008\ m^2\times 0.3\ T\ \sin(60)\\\\\tau=1.03\times 10^{-4}\ N-m

So, the net torque about the vertical axis is 1.03\times 10^{-4}\ N-m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Precision is how close a series of measurements are to ______
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to an accepted value. <u>Precision is how close measurements are to one another.</u> To make measurements, you have to evaluate both the accuracy and the precision to get a correct value.
