A 60 kg man jumps down from a 0.8 m table. What is the speed when he

Physics
1 answer:
Rom4ik [11]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: Speed = 4 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are

Mass M = 60 kg

Height h = 0.8 m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 10 m/s2

Before the man jumps, he will be experiencing potential energy at the top of the table.

P.E = mgh

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.8

P.E = 470.4 J

As he jumped from the table and hit the ground, the whole P.E will be converted to kinetic energy according to conservative of energy.

When hitting the ground,

K.E = P.E

Where K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute m and 470.4 into the formula

470.4 = 1/2 × 60 × V^2

V^2 = 470.4/30

V^2 = 15.68

V = square root (15.68)

V = 3.959 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the man when hitting the ground is approximately 4 m/s

A 5000-kg freight car crashes into a 10,000-kg freight car at rest. They couple upon collision and move with a speed of 2 m/s. W
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

mass of moving car m1=5000 kg

initial velocity of moving car vi1=?

mass of car at rest = m2=10000 kg

initial velocity of car at rest = vi2=0

final velcoities of both cars after collision = vf1=vf2= 2m/s

using conservation of momentum rule

m1vi1+m2vi2=m1vf1+m2vf2

putting values

==> 5000 × vi1 + 1000 × 0 = 5000 × 2 + 10000 × 2

==> 5000 ×vi1 = 2 × 15000

==> vi1 = 2 × 15000 ÷ 5000

==> vi1= 2×3=6 m/s

What is the slit spacing of a diffraction necessary for a 600 nm light to have a first order principal maximum at 25.0°?
Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of light, \lambda=600\ nm=6\times 10^{-7}\ m

Angle, \theta=25^{\circ}

We need to find the slit spacing for diffraction. For a diffraction, the first order principal maximum is given by :

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

n is 1 here

d is slit spacing

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{\sin\theta}\\\\d=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-7}}{\sin(25)}\\\\d=1.41\times 10^{-6}\ m\\\\d=1.41\ \mu m

So, the slit spacing is 1.41\ \mu m.

What are allotropes? Give an example.
VARVARA [1.3K]
Allotropes are different forms of the same element. Different bonding arrangements between atoms result in different structures with different chemical and physical properties. Allotropes occur only with certain elements, in Groups 13 through 16 in the Periodic Table.

A flashlight contains a battery of two cells in series, with a bulb of resistance 12 Ohms. The internal resistance of each cell
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.5024

Explanation:

Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.

R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52

The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.

i = E / R

i = 2.88 / 12 =

i = 0.24 amps.

Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.

E = ?

R = 0.26

i = 0.24 amps

E = 0.26 * 0.24

E = 0. 0624

Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44

Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024

What is the theory of light?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.
