<h2>
Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>
Explanation:
We have for a spring
Force = Spring constant x Elongation
F = kx
Here force is weight of mass
F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N
Elongation, x = 36 cm = 0.36 m
Substituting
F = kx
5.3 = k x 0.36
k = 14.72 N/m
Spring constant is 14.72 N/m
Answer:
a) y₂ = 49.1 m
, t = 1.02 s
, b) y = 49.1 m
, t= 1.02 s
Explanation:
a) We will solve this problem with the missile launch kinematic equations, to find the maximum height, at this point the vertical speed is zero
² =
² - 2 g (y –yo)
The origin of the coordinate system is on the floor and the ball is thrown from a height
y-yo =
=
- g t
t =
/ g
t = 10 / 9.8
t = 1.02 s
b) the maximum height
y- 44.0 =
² / 2 g
y - 44.0 = 5.1
y = 5.1 +44.0
y = 49.1 m
The time is the same because it does not depend on the initial height
t = 1.02 s
Answer:

Explanation:
When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so
(1)
where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.
When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle
with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is
(2)
If we combine (1) and (2) together,
(3)
We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so

So we can rewrite (3) as

From which we find



Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2.
<span>Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. </span>
<span>1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. </span>
<span>Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. </span>
<span>Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. </span>
<span>e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. </span>
<span>Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N</span>
