As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself.There is no one ar

ound to help, so you attach an ideal pulley tothe box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap aroundthe pulley. You pull up on the rope to lift the box. Use g or themagnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect frictionforces.
Part A What is the magnitude F of the upward force you must apply to the ropeto start raising the box with constant velocity?

Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F

Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with

Explanation:

Force downwards F is,

F = FA - T

T is the upwards tension force on the rope

FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.

Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)

For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)

Therefore, ma = T - mg

T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)

Equating equ. 1 and 2

T = FA - F = ma + mg

Therefore FA = ma + mg + F

But at constant velocity a = 0

Magnitude of applied force becomes

FA = mg + F

Light of wavelength 630 nm falls on two slits and produces an interference pattern in which the third-order bright red fringe is
goblinko [34]

Answer:

d \frac{x}{l} = m×  λ⇒ d = λ ×m×l / x

= 630×10^{-9} m × 3×3m/ 45×10^{-3} m

= 1.26×10^{-4}m

Explanation:

the above calculation is based on Young’s double slit experiment where the two slits provide two coherent light sources which results either constructive interference or destructive interference when passing through a double slit.

Savion listed the steps involved when nuclear power plants generate electricity.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3

Explanation:

In a nuclear power plant, we have;

1) Nuclear reaction between the radio active species and the particles takes place to generate energy in the nucleus of atoms

2) The nuclear energy in the atom is converted into radiant energy, which is the energy found in light, and thermal (heat) energy

3) The produced radiant and thermal energy is released as heat and light

4) With the produced heat, steam is generated

5) The generated steam turns the steam turbines and produced mechanical energy

6) The produced mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator of the power plant

To correct Savion's error, Step 4) the light and heat should be released before step 3) the released heat can be used to generate steam, we therefore reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.

Hydroelectric power relies on the transfer of energy from waves through what medium
Sedaia [141]
Through the medium of electromagnetism, energy from waves get transferred which a hydroelectric power plant heavily rely on. The turbine eventually converts the energy from the waves into mechanical energy which is transformed to electrical energy using a generator.
