Acceleration = change in velocity/time
= 40/5
=8m/s^2

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) $W_c=127.008 J$

(b) $W_g=148.176 J$

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) $v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg

initial velocity of the block, $u=0 m.s^{-1}$

constant downward acceleration, $a_d= \frac{g}{7}$

$\Rightarrow$ That a constant upward acceleration of $\frac{6g}{7}$ is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴ $a=- \frac{6g}{7}$

height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

$F_c= M\times a$

$F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}$

$F_c=-30.24 N$

∴Work by the cord on the block,

$W_c= F_c\times d$

$W_c= -30.24\times 4.2$

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

$W_c=-127.008 J$

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

$F_g= M.g$

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

$F_g=3.6\times 9.8$

$F_g=35.28 N$

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

$W_g=F_g\times d$

$W_g=35.28\times 4.2$

$W_g=148.176 J$

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

$K.E.= W_g+W_c$

$K.E.=148.176-127.008$

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d$

putting the respective values:

$v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }$

$v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$ is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

Answer:
They are both wrong!

Liquid oxygen really is a pale blue color.
I’ve seen it.

And they cant say that liquid and solid oxygen is blue which makes the sky blue because they’re not and it doesn’t make up for the color of the sky.

The sky is actually blue because It reflects more light than It can absorb
aka Rayleigh Scattering.

If the wavelength is changed to λ/2, does the central spot remain bright, does the central spot become dark, or do the fringes d

omeli [17]

Answer:The central spot becomes Dark

Explanation: it become dark because as the wavelength reduces,the velocity in the detector decreases, this time by 90degrees
