Answer:

Vi = 24.14 m/s

Explanation:

If we apply Law of Conservation of Energy or Work-Energy Principle here, we get: (neglecting friction)

Loss in K.E of the Rock = Gain in P.E of the Rock

(1/2)(m)(Vi² - Vf²) = mgh

Vi² - Vf² = 2gh

Vi² = Vf² + 2gh

Vi = √(Vf² + 2gh)

where,

Vi = Rock's Speed as it left the ground = ?

Vf = Final Speed = 17 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of rock = 15 m

Therefore,

Vi = √[(17 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²)(15 m)]

Vi = √583 m²/s²

<u>Vi = 24.14 m/s</u>

A 13 kg hanging sculpture is suspended by a 95-cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundame
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

f=81.96 \ Hz

Explanation:

Givens

L=95cm

m_{sculpture} =13kg

m_{wire}=5g

The frequency is defined by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

Where v is the speed of the wave in the string and \lambda is its wave length.

The wave length is defined as \lambda = 2L = 2(0.95m)=1.9m

Now, to find the speed, we need the tension of the wire and its linear mass density

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

Where \mu=\frac{0.005kg}{0.95m}= 5.26 \times 10^{-3} and the tension is defined as T=m_{sculpture} g=13kg(9.81 m/s^{2} )=127.53N

Replacing this value, the speed is

v=\sqrt{\frac{127.53N}{5.26 \times 10^{-3} } }=155.71 m/s

Then, we replace the speed and the wave length in the first equation

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\f=\frac{155.71 m/s}{1.9m}\\ f=81.96Hz

Therefore, the frequency is f=81.96 \ Hz

What is the inverse square law and how does it relate to gravity?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities
Studentka2010 [4]
Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .
