Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity on zarth = 0.8m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8m/s^2

We know that time taken(t) by an object to fall a distance (d) is given by

t = \sqrt{ (2d/g)}

We are given the height from which the ball is dropped = 10m and the time taken by the ball to fall = 5.0s

So, substituting the given values

d = height of dropping the ball = 10m, t = 5.0 s

i.e. time taken for fall ,in the equation,

t^2 = 2d/g

g= 20/5^2 = 20/25 = 0.8

Therefore (g) = 0.8m/s^2 which gives the acceleration due to gravity on planet Zarth.

Answer:

0.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of an object in free fall is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can analyze it using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s is the vertical displacement

u is the initial velocity

t is the time of flight

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the ball dropped in this problem,

s = 10 m

t = 5.0 s

u = 0

Therefore, solving the equation for g, we find the acceleration due to gravity:

g=\frac{2s}{t^2}=\frac{2(10)}{5^2}=0.8 m/s^2

The amount of energy that must be absorbed or lost to raise or lower the temperature of 1 g of liquid water by 1°c _____.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

4.2 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K

From specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.

Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C

Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.001×4200(1)

Q = 4.2 J.

Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J

Monochromatic light falling on two very narrow slits 0.048mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 5.00m away are 6.5cm apart ne
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm

f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

We will use Young's Double Slit Experiment's Formula here:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{Yd}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Y = Fringe Spacing = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

d = slit separation = 0.048 mm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁵ m

L = screen distance = 5 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.065\ m)(4.8\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m)}{5\ m}

<u>λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm</u>

Now, the frequency can be given as:

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

f = frequency = ?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

f = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{5.85\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\\\

<u>f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz</u>
