A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350s. ignore air resistance.

Find (a) the height of the tabletop above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the book's velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book reaches the floor.

Answer:

a. 0.6 m b. 0.385 m c. 3.6 m/s at 287.78° to the horizontal

Explanation:

a. Using s = ut - 1/2gt² for motion under gravity where s = vertical distance = height of table, u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s, t = time of flight = 0.350 s and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting these these values into s and taking the top of the table as position 0 m, we have.

0 - s = 0t - 1/2gt²

-s = -1/2gt²

s = 1/2gt²

s = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (0.350 s)²

s = 0.6 m

b. Using d = v't where d = horizontal distance from table, v' = horizontal velocity of book = 1.10 m/s and t = time of flight = 0.350 s

d = v't = 1.10 m/s × 0.350 s = 0.385 m

c. Using v² = u² - 2gs where u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s and g = 9.8 m/s², s = -0.6 m (negative since we are at the bottom and 0 m is at the top)and v = final vertical velocity of book

v² = u² - 2gs

= 0 - 2 × 9.8 m/s² × (-0.6 m)

= 11.76 m²/s²

v = √11.76 m/s

= 3.43 m/s

So, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is V = √(v² + v'²)

= √((3.43 m/s)² + (1.10 m/s)'²)

= √(11.76 m²/s² + 1.21 m²/s²)

= √12.97 m²/s²

= 3.6 m/s

Its direction Ф = tan⁻¹(-v/v') since v is in the negative y direction

= tan⁻¹(-3.43 m/s/1.10 m/s)

= tan⁻¹(-3.1182)

= -72.22°

Ф = -72.22°+ 360 = 287.78° since it is in the third quadrant

Which colors of light represents the lowest visible frequency?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Red

Explanation:

Red is a colour which has the lowest frequency. Violet has the highest frequency. Frequency has a direct relationship with energy. This means the higher the frequency, the higher the energy. Red has the lowest energy of all the colors too.

The frequency and Energy has an inverse relationship with the wavelength.

However Red has the longest wavelength of about 620 - 780 nanometer.

A 26-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 630 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

  F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

          I = F t = Δp

To find the time we use that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), let's use the uniform movement ratio

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

Reduce SI system

          m = 26 g ( 1 kg/1000g) = 26 10⁻³ kg

          d = 50 mm ( 1m/ 1000 mm) = 50 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate

         t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

         t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

With this value we use the momentum and momentum relationship

        F t = m v - m v₀

As the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

       F = m (v-vo) / t

       F = 26 10⁻³ (-500 - 630) / 8.33 10⁻⁵

       F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

The negative sign indicates that the force is exerted against the bullet

It is determined that a certain light wave has a wavelength of 3.012 ×10−12 m. The light travels at 2.99 ×108 m/s. What is the f
horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity=frequency*wavelength

velocity = 2.99*10^8 m/s

frequency = ?

wavelength = 3.012*10^-12

2.99*10^8m/s = (f)(3.012*10^-12)

f=9.58*10^19 Hertz
