Answer:24 m

Explanation:

Given

Distance of Fran from home is 7 miles

Distance between Ben and Fran is 1 mile more than the distance of ben from home

let distance of ben from home is x miles

therefore distance between ben and Fran is x+1 miles

using Pythagoras

7^2+x^2=(x+1)^2

49+x^2=x^2+1+2x

48=2 x

x=24

The spectrum of a distant star shows that one in 2 e6 of the atoms of a particular element is in its first excited state 7.5 eV
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The temperature of star is 5473.87 K

Explanation:

Given:

Energy difference \Delta E = 7.5 eV

The ratio of number of particle \frac{N_{f} }{N_{i} } = \frac{1}{2 \times 10^{6} }

Degeneracy ratio \frac{g_{f} }{g_{i} }  = 4

From the formula of boltzmann distribution for population levels,

     \frac{N_{f} }{N_{i} } =\frac{g_{f} }{g_{i} }  e^{-\frac{\Delta E}{kT} }

Where k = boltzmann constant = 8.62 \times 10^{-5} \frac{eV}{K}

     \frac{1}{2 \times 10^{6} } =4  e^{-\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }

  8 \times 10^{6} } = e^{\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }

\ln(8 \times 10^{6})  = {\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }

  T  = {\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} \ln(8 \times 10^{6})} }

  T = 5473.87 K

Therefore, the temperature of star is 5473.87 K

Leash a block of 0.5 kg down the entire length of an inclined plane forming a name of 37 ° with the horizontal. Friction with th
castortr0y [4]
The potential energy of the block is given by:
V = m*g*h
m mass
g = 9.81m/s²
h height

The potential energy of a spring is given by:
V = 0.5 * k * x²

k spring constant
x compression of the spring

If the block starts from rest it has potential energy, but no kinetic energy. As it slides down the incline potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When the block hits the spring the kinetic energy is converted into spring's potential energy. If the spring is fully compressed and the block is at rest again, the block has transferred all its energy into the spring. No energy is lost. So we can write:

m * g * h = 0.5 * k * x²

m = 0.5 kg
g = 9.81 m/s²
h = 2.5m * sin 37° = 1,5 m
x = 0,6 m

Solve for k.

k = 2 * m * g * h / x² = 40.8 N/m

A ball rolls downhill with a constant acceleration of 4m/s squared. If it started from rest,it’s velocity at the end of 3 meters
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

4.9 m/s

Explanation:

Since the motion of the ball is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the ball in this problem,

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

a=4 m/s^2 is the acceleration

s = 3 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(4)(3)}=4.9 m/s
