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.

When the block has fallen a distance d = 4.2 m, find (a) the work done by the cord's force on the block, (b) the work done by the gravitational force on the block, (c) the kinetic energy of the block, and (d) the speed of the block. (Note : Take the downward direction positive)

Answer:

a)  W₁ = - 127 J , b) W₂ = 148.18 J, c)   v_{f}= 3.43 m/s  and d)  v_{f} = 3.43 m / s

Explanation:

The work is given the equation

         W = F. d

Where the bold indicates vectors, we can also write this expression take the module of each element and the angle between them

        W = F d cos θ

They give us displacement, let's use Newton's second law to find strength, like the block has an equal acceleration (a = g / 7). We take a positive sign down as indicated

       W-T = m a

       T = W -m a

       T = mg -mg/7

       T = mg 6/7

       T = 3.6 9.8 6/7

       T = 30.24 N

Now we can apply the work equation to our problem

a) the force of the cord is directed upwards, the displacement is downwards, so there is a 180º angle between the two

      W₁ = F d cos θ

      W₁ = 30.24 4.2 cos 180

      W₁ = - 127 J

b) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is directed downwards, the angle between the two is zero (T = 0º)

      W₂ = (mg) d cos 0º

      W₂ = 3.6 9.8 4.2

      W₂ = 148.18 J

c) kinetic energy

      K = ½ m v²

Let's calculate speed with kinematics

    v_{f}² = vo² + 2 a y

    v₀ = 0

    a = g / 7

     v_{f}² = 2g / 7 y

      v_{f} = √ (2 9.8 4.2 / 7)

      v_{f}= 3.43 m/s

We calculate

     K = ½  3.6  3.43²

     K = 21.18 J

d) the speed of the block and we calculate it in the previous part

       v_{f} = 3.43 m / s

Light with a wavelength of 494 nm in vacuo travels from vacuum to water. Find the wavelength of the light inside the water in nm
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

370.6 nm

Explanation:

wavelength in vacuum = 494 nm

refractive index of water with respect to air = 1.333

Let the wavelength of light in water is λ.

The frequency of the light remains same but the speed and the wavelength is changed as the light passes from one medium to another.

By using the definition of refractive index

n = \frac{wavelength in air}{wavelength in water}

where, n be the refractive index of water with respect to air

By substituting the values, we get

1.333 = \frac{494}{\lambda }

λ = 370.6 nm

Thus, the wavelength of light in water is 370.6 nm.

Which would fall with greater acceleration in a vacuum a leaf or a stone?
Sergeu [11.5K]
Because its a vacuum, there's no air resistance, they will fall at same time
Applying gravity acceleration rule g=9.8m/s which is taken as 10m/s sometimes.

When a sound wave moves past a point inair, what happens to the density of air at thispoint?1.There is no change in the density
Westkost [7]

Answer:

2.The density of air increases and thendecreases as the sound wave passes.

Explanation:

Sound waves are mechanical waves, which consist of oscillation of the particles in the medium where the wave is transmitted through.

Sound waves are also longitudinal waves, which means that the direction of oscillations of the particles of the medium occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave (so, essentially back and forth).

Due to the nature of longitudinal waves, they create alternating regions of the medium where the density of particles are higher and lower. The former are called compressions, while the latter are called rarefactions.

Therefore, when a sound wave travels through the air, the density of one region of air continuously changes: compression first (high density), rarefaction then (lower density), then compression again, etc..
