Betty weighs 400 N and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.21 m above the ground. Tom pulls the swing back an

d releases it when the seat is 1.09 m above the ground. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How fast is Betty moving when the swing passes through its lowest position? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

As the total energy must be conserved (neglecting air resistance) the change in gravitational potential energy, must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:

ΔE = ΔK + ΔU =0

If we take as a zero reference level for the gravitational potential energy, the height of the swing seat above the ground, (which is equal to 0.21 m), we can find the initial gravitational energy, considering the height of the point where the seat is released, regarding this point:

h₀ = 1.09 m -0.21 m = 0.88 m

⇒ U₀ = m*g*h₀ = 400 N*0.88 m = 352 J

As Uf = 0, ΔU = Uf -U₀ = -352 J

As the swing starts from rest, K₀=0, so we can say:

ΔK = Kf = \frac{1}{2} *m*vf^{2}  (1)

As ΔK = -ΔU ⇒ ΔK = 352 J (2)

From (1) and (2) we can solve for vf, as follows:

vf = \sqrt{\frac{2*352J}{40.8kg}} = 4.15 m/s

So, when the swing passes through its lowest position, Betty moves at 4.15 m/s.

The car starts from a room with a constant acceleration of 5 ms-2. What path will it pass in 6 seconds and what speed will it re
Kobotan [32]

Answer: The speed will be  30 m/s .

Explanation:

Given: Initial velocity of the car: u = 0 m/s

Constant Acceleration: a = 5 m/s²

Time: t= 6 seconds

To find: Final velocity(v)

Formula:  v = u+at

Substitute values in the formula, we get

v=  0+(5)(6) m/s

⇒ v= 30 m/s

i.e. Final velocity = 30 m/s

Hence, the speed will be 30 m/s .

A line from the Brackett series of hydrogen has a wavelength of 1945nm (or 1.0979x10^7m). From which state did the electron orig
Zarrin [17]
We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:

<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]

Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.
