Answer:

(a) F = 1500 N.

(b) Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = 3.40

Explanation:

Force : This can be defined as the product of mass and the distance moved by a body. Its S.I unit is Newton. It can be represented mathematically as

F = Ma

Where F= force, M = mass (Kg) and a = Acceleration (m/s²)

Weight: This can be defined as the force on a body due to gravitation field. It is also measured in Newton (N). It can be represented mathematically as

W = Mg

Where W = weight of the body, M = mass of the body (Kg), g = Acceleration due to gravity.

(a)

F = Ma

Where M = 45kg,

a = unknown.

But we can look for acceleration Using one of the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs

Where v= final velocity(m/s), u = initial velocity (m/s) g = 0 m/s, g = 9.8m/s² and s = height = 2.5m.

∴ v² = 2gs

 v = √2gs = √(2×9.8×2.5)

v= √49 = 7m/s

With the force applied, the impala’s velocity must increase from 0 m/s to 7 m/s in 0.21 second

∴ a = (v-u)/t

 a = (7-0)/0.21 = 7/0.21

  a = 33.33 m/s².

F = 45 × 33.33 ≈ 1500

F = 1500 N.

(b)

Where F = Force = 1500 N

and W = Weight = Mg = 45 × 9.8 = 441 N

∴Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = F/W = 1500/441 = 3.40

 Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = 3.40

What is the velocity of the object?
dmitriy555 [2]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2 /><h2>\huge\boxed{\text{V = 9.5 m/s}}</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

<h2>DATA:</h2>

mass = m = 2kg

Distance = x = 6m

Force = 30N

TO FIND:

Work = W = ?

Velocity = V = ?

<h2>SOLUTION:</h2>

According to the object of mass 2 kg travels a distance when the force was exerted on it. The graph between the Force and position was plotted which shows that 30 N of force was used to push the object till the distance of 6.0m.

To find the work, I will use the method of determining the area of the plotted graph. As the graph is plotted in the straight line between the Force and work, THE PICTURE ATTCHED SHOWS THE AREA COVERED IN BLUE AS WORK DONE AND HEIGHT AS 30m AND DISTANCE COVERED AS 6m To solve for the area(work) of triangle is given as,

{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\;(Base)\:(Height)

Base is the x-axis of the graph which is Position i.e. 6m

Height is the y-axis of the graph which is Force i.e. 30N

So,

                           W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\:6\:x\:30

                           W   =  90 J

The work done is 90 J.

According to the principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.

{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad K.E\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ m\ V^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ 2\ (V_f-V_i)^2\\\\{V_i\ is\ 0\ because\ the\ object\ was\ initially\ at\ rest}\\\\ {\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f-0)^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad 90\quad = \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f)^2

\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad V_f\quad =\ \sqrt{\frac{2\ (90)\ }{2}}\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad \boxed {V_f\quad =\ 9.48\ m/s}

\boxed{The\ Velocity\ of\ the\ Object\ of\ mass\ 2kg\ at\ 6\ meters\ of\ distance\ was\ 9.48\ m/s}

In a photoelectric effect experiment, electrons emerge from a copper surface with a maximum kinetic energy of 1.10 eV when light
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:A) 220 nm

Explanation:

Given

Maximum Kinetic Energy K.E.=1.10 eV

Work Function W=4.65 eV

from Einstein Equation

h\mu =W+K.E.

h\cdot \frac{c}{\lambda }=W+K.E.

h\cdot \frac{c}{\lambda }=4.65+1.10

6.626\times 10^{-34}\cdot \frac{3\times 10^8}{\lambda }=5.75

1 eV=1.6\times 10^{-19} J

thus 5.75 eV=9.2\times 10^{-19} J

\lambda =\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\time 3\times 10^8}{9.2\times 10^{-19}}

\lambda =216.06 nm\approx 220 nm
