A 1451 kg car is traveling at 48.0 km/h. How much kinetic energy does it possess? K.E. =

1 answer:

8 0

   Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second. So we'll have to
make that conversion.

KE = (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

   = (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)² (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

   = (725.5) · ( 40/3 )² · ( kg·m² / sec²)

   = 128,978 joules (rounded)

Light of wavelength 608.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 88.5 cm from the slit.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The width of the slit is 0.167 mm

Explanation:

Wavelength of light, $\lambda=608\ nm=608\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Distance from screen to slit, D = 88.5 cm = 0.885 m

The distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is 1.61 cm, y = 1.61 cm = 0.0161 m

We need to find the width of the slit. The formula for the distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is :

$y=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{a}$

where

a = width of the slit

$a=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{y}$

$a=\dfrac{5\times 0.885\ m\times 608\times 10^{-9}\ m}{0.0161\ m}$

a = 0.000167 m

$a=1.67\times 10^{-4}\ m$

a = 0.167 mm

So, the width of the slit is 0.167 mm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 3.00 blocks west, 4.00 blocks north, and then 6.00 blocks east. What

Harrizon [31]

The concepts used to solve this problem are those related to the Pythagorean theorem for which we will calculate the distance and the pitch.

According to the attached diagram we have that the expression of the resulting displacement is

$R = \sqrt{(3b)^2+(4b)^2}$

Therefore the resultant displacement of the girl is

$R = \sqrt{(9b^2+16b^2)}$

$R = \sqrt{25b^2}$

$R = 5b$

Therefore the girl has displaced around of 5 blocks

Jack and Jill are on two different floors of their high rise office building and looking out of their respective windows. Jack s

Maru [420]

Answer:

a) speed when Jack sees the pot : 12.92 meters per second

b) height difference 163.115 meters

Explanation:

First to calculate te initial speed we use the acceleration formula:

a= v1-v0/t

Acceleration being gravity's acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)

v1 being the speed when Jill sees the pot

v0 when Jack sees it

and t the time between

Solving for v0 it would be

v1 - a*t = v0

replacing

$58 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 *4.6 s = v0 = 12.92 m/s$

For the second question we use the position formula setting y0 and t0 as the position and time when jack sees the pot. (and setting the positive axis downward I.E. one meter below jack would be 1m not -1m)

The formula is

$y0 + v0*t + 1/2 g *t^2 = yt$
