Answer: 40 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of baseball = 20 kg

Velocity of baseball = 20 m/s.

Time taken for throwing = 10 seconds

Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time

i.e Acceleration = velocity / time taken

Acceleration = (20 m/s / 10seconds)

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Now, force required to throw the baseball is a product of mass and acceleration

i.e Force = Mass x acceleration

Force = 20 kg x 2m/s^2

Force = 40Newton

Thus, 40 newton of force is required to throw baseball to reach the plate

Suppose a light source is emitting red light at a wavelength of 700 nm and another light source is emitting ultraviolet light at

klasskru [66]

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Energy of a photon is given by

$E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}$

Let $\lambda_1$ = 700 nm

$\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}$

For red light

$E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}$

For UV light

$E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}$

Dividing the equations

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1$

Hence, the answer is b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

a diver of mass 101 kg jumps upward off a diving board into water. Diving board is 6m above water. Diver has a speed of 1.2m/s.

8090 [49]

When the diver reaches maximum height, the upward velocity will be zero.

We shall use the formula
v^2 = u^2 - 2gh
where
v = 0 (velocity at maximum height)
u = 1.2 m/s, intial upward velocity
g = -9.8 m/s^2, gravitational acceleration (downward)
h = maximum height attained above the diving board.

Therefore
0 = 1.2^2 - 2*9.8*h
h = 1.2^2/(2*9.8) = 0.0735 m

Answer: 0.074 m (nearest thousandth)
