A 5 kg rock is raised 28 m above the ground level. What is the change in its potential energy?

1 answer:

3 0

Let's assume that ground level is the height 0 meters. The change in potential energy is going to be gravitational potential energy, which is given by PE=mgh.
ΔPE=mgh-mgy
=mg(h-y)
=50(28-0)
=1400 J

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

$d\sin \theta =m\lambda$

For Destructive interference

$d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$

where $\lambda =wavelength$

$d=slit\ width$

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. $m=2$

For smallest separation taking $\lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}$

$d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}$

$d=0.8\times 10^{-6}$

$d=0.8\mu m$

A force of 200 N stretches a spring 30 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? How far would this spring stretch with a f

bija089 [108]

Hooke's Law

F = k. Δx

Δx = 30 cm = 0.3 m

200 = k . 0.3

$\tt k =\dfrac{200}{0.3}= 666.6$

the spring stretch for 100 N:

$\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{100}{666.6}=0.15=15\:cm$
