A crate with a mass of 110 kg glides through a space station with a speed of 4.0 m/s. An astronaut speeds it up by pushing on it

from behind with a force of 190 N, continually pushing with this force through a distance of 8 m. The astronaut moves around to the front of the crate and slows the crate down by pushing backwards with a force of 170 N, backing up through a distance of 6 m. After these two maneuvers, what is the speed of the crate?

Answer:

The final speed of the crate after the astronaut push to slow it down is 4.50 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:  </u>

The crate has mass m = 110 kg and an initial speed vi = 4 m/s.  

<u>Solution  </u>

We are asked to determine the final speed of the crate. We could apply the steps for energy principle update form as next  

Ef=Ei+W                                                 (1)

Where Ef and Ei are the find and initial energies of the crate (system) respectively. While W is the work done by the astronaut (surrounding).  

The system has two kinds of energy, the kinetic energy which associated with its motion and the rest energy where it has zero speed. The summation of both energies called the particle energy. So, equation (1) will be in the form  

(Kf + mc^2) = (KJ+ mc^2)                       (2)  

Where m is the mass of crate, c is the speed of light which equals 3 x 10^8 m/s and the term mc^2 represents the energy at rest and the term K is the kinetic energy.  

In this case, the rest energy doesn't change so we can cancel the rest energy in both sides and substitute with the approximate expression of the kinetic energy of the crate at low speeds where K = 1/2 mv^2 and equation (2) will be in the form

(1/2mvf^2+mc^2)=(1/2mvi^2 +mc^2)+W

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi^2+W                              (3)

Now we want to calculate the work done on the crate to complete our calculations. Work is the amount of energy transfer between a source of an applied force and the object that experiences this force and equals the force times the displacement of the object. Therefore, the total work done will be given by  

W = FΔr                                                      (4)  

Where F is the force applied by the astronaut and equals 190 N and Δr is the displacement of the crate and equals 6 m. Now we can plug our values for F and Δr to get the work done by the astronaut  

W = F Δr= (190N)(6 m) = 1140 J  

Now we can plug our values for vi, m and W into equation (3) to get the final speed of the crate  

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi^2+W

vf=5.82 m/s

This is the final speed of the first push when the astronaut applies a positive work done. Then, in the second push, he applies a negative work done on the crate to slow down its speed. Hence, in this case, we could consider the initial speed of the second process to be the final speed of the first process. So,  

vi' = vf

In this case, we will apply equation (3) for the second process to be in the

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi'^2+W'                                 (3*)

The force in the second process is F = 170 N and the displacement is 4 m. The force and the displacement are in the opposite direction, hence the work done is negative and will be calculated by  

W'= —F Δr = —(170N)(4 m)= —680J

Now we can plug our values for vi' , m and W' into equation (3*) to get the final speed of the crate  

1/2mvf'^2=1/2mvi'^2+W'

  vf'=4.50 m/s

The final speed of the crate after the astronaut push to slow it down is 4.50 m/s

Ivanshal [37]

1. Frequency: 3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz

The energy given is the energy per mole of particles:

E=1.29\cdot 10^{11} J/mol

1 mole contains a number of Avogadro of particles, N_A, equal to

N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} particles

So, by setting the following proportion, we can calculate the energy of a single photon:

1.29 \cdot 10^{11} J/mol : 6.022 \cdot 10^{23} ph/mol = E_1 : 1 ph\\E_1 = \frac{(1.29\cdot 10^{11} J/mol)(1 ph)}{6.022\cdot 10^{23} ph/mol}=2.14\cdot 10^{-13} J

This is the energy of a single photon; now we can calculate its frequency by using the formula:

E_1 = hf

where

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck's constant

f is the photon frequency

Solving for f, we find

f=\frac{E_1}{h}=\frac{2.14\cdot 10^{-13} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz

2. Wavelength: 9.29\cdot 10^{-13} m

The wavelength of the photon is given by the equation:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s

is the speed of the photon (the speed of light). Substituting,

\lambda=\frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz}=9.29\cdot 10^{-13} m

Which kinds of objects emit visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Triss [41]

Answer : Relatively hot objects

Explanation : We know that, the temperature of the objects is inversely proportional to their wavelengths. The objects emitting radiation in the visible region have short wavelength and hence are relatively hotter.

We know the range of wavelength of the visible spectrum is from 400 nm to 780 nm.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

2.74

Explanation:

Magnification = image distance/object distance

Mag = v/u

Given

v = 46cm

u = 16.8

Magnification = 46/16.8

Magnification = 2.74

Hence the magnification is 2.74
