Answer:

the kinetic energy of clown A is 0.444 times the kinetic energy of clown B.

Explanation:

Let the spring constant of the spring is k.

For clown A:

m = 40 kg

let the extension in the spring is y.

So, the spring force, F = k y

m g = k y

40 x g = k x y

y = 40 x g / k      ..... (1)

For clown B:

m' = 60 kg

Let the extension in the spring is y'.

So, the spring force, F' = k y'

m' g = k y'

y' = 60 x g / k      .....(2)  

Kinetic energy for A, K = 1/2 ky^2

Kinetic energy for B, K' = 1/2 ky'^2

So, K/K' = y^2/y'^2 K / K' = (40 x 40) / (60 x 60)     (from equation (1) and (2))

K / K' = 0.444

K = 0.444 K'

So the kinetic energy of clown A is 0.444 times the kinetic energy of clown B.

At sunset, red light travels horizontally through the doorway in the western wall of your beach cabin, and you observe the light
Nady [450]

Answer:

9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m

Explanation:

For light passing through a single slit, the position of the nth-minimum from the central bright fringe in the diffraction pattern is given by

y=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

In this problem, we have

\lambda=700 nm = 7.00\cdot 10^{-7}m is the wavelength of the red light

D = 14 m is the distance of the screen from the doorway

d = 1.0 m is the width of the doorway

Substituting n=1 into the equation, we find the distance between the central bright fringe and the first-order dark fringe (the first minimum):

y=\frac{(1)(7.00\cdot 10^{-7} m)(14 m)}{1.0 m}=9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m

Which of the following is a TRUE statement?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

e. All of these statements are false.

Explanation:

As we know that heat transfer take place from high temperature to low temperature.

It is possible to convert all work into heat but it is not possible to convert all heat in to work some heat will be reject to the surrounding.

The first law of thermodynamics is the energy conservation law.

Second law of thermodynamics  states that it is impossible to construct a device which convert all energy into work without rejecting the heat to the surrounding.

By using heat pump ,heat can transfer from cooler body to the hotter body.

Therefore all the answer is False.
