Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-83.33\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the satellite, u = 10000 m/s

Final speed of the satellite, v = 5000 m/s

Time taken, t = 1 min = 60 seconds

Acceleration of the satellite is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{5000-10000}{60}$

$a=-83.33\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the pumpkin is $-83.33\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Light of wavelength 550 nm comes into a thin slit and produces a diffraction pattern on a board 8.0 m away. The first minimum da

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Width of the slit will be equal to 1.47 mm

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light $\lambda =550nm=550\times 10^{-9}m$

Distance D = 8 m

Distance between first minimum dark fringe and the central maximum is 2 mm

So $x=3\times 10^{-3}m$

We have to find the width of the slit

For the first order wavelength is equal to $\lambda =\frac{x}{D}\times a$ , here a width of slit

So $a=\frac{\lambda D}{x}=\frac{550\times 10^{-9}\times 8}{3\times 10^{-3}}=1466.666\times 10^{-6}=1.47mm$

So width of the slit will be equal to 1.47 mm

A 0.25-kg ball attached to a string is rotating in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m twice every second, what is the tension i

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

T = 19.75 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball = 0.25 Kg

radius = 0.5 m

frequency = 2 s⁻¹

tension in the string = ?

angular velocity

ω = 2 π f

ω = 2 π x 2

ω = 12.57 rad/s

tension on the string is equal to the centripetal force

T = m ω² r

T = 0.25 x 12.57² x 0.5

T = 19.75 N

Tension in the string is equal to T = 19.75 N

an elevator mass of 7700 kg falls from a height of 32 m after a sudden failure in the hoisting cable. The mass is stopped by a s

valkas [14]

Answer:k=28.29 kN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass $m =7700 kg$

height from which Elevator falls $h=32 m$

Let x be the compression in the spring

thus From conservation of Energy Potential energy will convert in to Elastic Potential Energy of spring

$\frac{kx^2}{2}=mg(h+x)$ ----------1

also maximum acceleration is 5g

thus

$mg-kx=ma$

here $a=-5g$

$kx=mg-m(-5g)=6mg$

$x=\frac{6mg}{k}$

Substitute x in equation 1

$0.5\times k\times (\frac{6mg}{k})^2=mg(h+\frac{6mg}{k})$

$18\frac{(mg)^2}{k}=mgh+6\frac{(mg)^2}{k}$

$k=12\cdot \frac{mg}{h}$

$k=12\times \frac{7700\times 9.8}{32}$

$k=28.29 kN/m$
