You throw a 20-N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is a height 14.8m above the ground, it

is traveling at a speed of 25.0 m/s upward.
A) Use the work-energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground. What is it?
B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height. What is it?

Answer:

30.25 m/s

46.68 m

Explanation:

Work Energy theorem states that

W = ½mv2² - ½mv1²

W = ½m(v2² - v1²)

Net work done by the force = -mgd

Net work done = -m * 9.8 * 14.8

Net work done = -145m

Using the work energy theorem

-145m = ½m(v2² - v1²)

-145m = ½ * m(25² - v1²)

-290m = 625m - v1²m

v1² = 625 + 290

v1² = 915

v1 = √915 = 30.25 m/s

B

-mgd = ½m(v2² - v1²), where v2 = 0, so

-mgd = ½mv1²

Making d the subject of the formula, we have

d = -½mv1²/mg

d = v1²/2g

d = 915/ 2 * 9.8

d = 915 / 19.6

d = 46.68 m

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

An impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔv

F = 0.001 kg(1000 - 0) m/s / 0.001 s = 1000 N

DochEvi [55]
In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, some of the positive particles would pass through the foil and some would bounce off. This led to a new theory that all of the positive subatomic particles were in the center of the atom instead of evenly spread throughout.

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}

Where, \beta=\dfrac{c}{v}

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}

\lambda_{o}=115\ nm

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 49.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.1397 Nm

Explanation:

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth.

If the muscle generates a force

F =  49.5 N and r = 2.65 cm , then the torque is equal to rF

we see that r = 2.65 cm = 0.0265 m

therefore

torque = 0.0265 x 49.5

= 1.1397 Nm
