Answer:

The maximum height of the rock is 14.2 m

Explanation:

The equations that describe the height and velocity of the rock are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the object at time t

y0 = initial height

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² if upward is positive)

v = velocity of the object at time t

We know that at t = 3.40 s, the rock is in your hand again. Then, if we place the origin of the frame of reference at your hand, the position of the rock at 3.40 s is 0 m. Using the equation of the position, we can calculate the initial velocity that we will need to obtain the max-height.

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = v0 · 3.40 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (3.40 s)²

(1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (3.40 s)² ) / 3.40 s = v0

v0 = 16.7 m/s

At max-height, the velocity of the rock is 0. Then, using the equation of velocity we can calculate the time it takes the rock to reach the max-height. With that time, we can calculate the maximum height.

v = v0 + g · t      (at max-height, v = 0)

0 = 16.7 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

- 16.7 m/s /  - 9.8 m/s² = t

t = 1.70 s

Now, using this time in the equation of height:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 16.7 m/s · 1.70 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.70 s)²

y = 14.2 m

The maximum height of the rock is 14.2 m

What is the wavelength of light that is deviated in the first order through an angle of 13.1 ∘ by a transmission grating having
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The wavelength of light is 4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 13.1°

Number of slits = 5000

We need to calculate the wavelength of light

Diffraction of first order is defined as,

d \sin\theta=n\lambda.....(I)

The separation of the slits

d = \dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{5000}

d=2\times10^{-6}\ m

Now put the value in equation (I)

2\times10^{-6}\sin13.1^{\circ}=\lambda

Here, n = 1

\lambda=4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

Hence, The wavelength of light is 4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

a) s = 0.603\,m, b) s = 2.412\,m

Explanation:

a) The system ice cube-spring is modelled by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation. Let assume that height at the bottom is zero:

U_{g} = U_{k}

m\cdot g \cdot s\cdot \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2}

s = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta}

s = \frac{(25\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.1\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 25^{\textdegree}}

s = 0.603\,m

b) The distance travelled by the ice cube is:

s = \frac{(25\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.2\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 25^{\textdegree}}

s = 2.412\,m

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

Take another look at lines 2 and 3. Suppose you use distance and time between any pair of neighboring dots to calculate speed:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Add the two speeds together.

Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.

15) A 1720 kg car accelerates at a rate of 3.0 m/s2. How much force is the car's engine producing? (use the formula F=ma
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 5160 N</h3>

Explanation:

To find the force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration we use the formula

<h3>Force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 1720 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

Force = 1720 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>5160 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
