Burning jet fuel is not hot enough to fully melt steel. Burning jet fuel, however, is more than hot enough to weaken steel.

An object falls from rest on a high tower and takes 5.0 s to hit the ground. Calculate the object's position from the top of the
Lena [83]

Answer:

After 1 sec = 4.9 m

After 2 sec = 19.6 m

After 3 sec = 44.1 m

After 4 sec =  78.4 m

After 5 sec = 122.5 m

Explanation:

After 1 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=1 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(1) + (1/2)(9.8)(1²) = 4.9m

After 2 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=2 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(2) + (1/2)(9.8)(2²) = 19.6m

After 3 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=3 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(3) + (1/2)(9.8)(3²) = 44.1m

After 4 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=4 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(4) + (1/2)(9.8)(4²) = 78.4m

After 5 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=5 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(5) + (1/2)(9.8)(5²) = 122.5m

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 530 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.7 ns . When a sla
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

\lambda'=78.086\ nm

Explanation:

Given:

  • wavelength of light in the air, \lambda=530\times 10^{-9}\ m
  • time taken to travel from the source to the photocell via air, t=16.7\ s
  • time taken to reach the photocell via air and glass slab, t'=21.3\times 10^{-9}\ s
  • thickness of the glass slab, x=0.87\ m

<u>Now we have the relation for time:</u>

\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}

hence,

t=\frac{d}{c}

c= speed of light in air

16.7\times 10^{-9}=\frac{d}{3\times 10^8}

d=16.7\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^8

d=5.01\ m

For the case when glass slab is inserted between the path of light:

\frac{(d-x)}{c} +\frac{x}{v} =t' (since light travel with the speed c only in the air)

here:

v = speed of light in the glass

\frac{(5.01-0.87)}{3\times 10^8} +\frac{0.87}{v} =21.3\times 10^{-9}

v=4.42\times 10^7\ m.s^{-1}

Using Snell's law:

\frac{\lambda}{\lambda'} =\frac{c}{v}

\frac{530}{\lambda'} =\frac{3\times 10^8}{4.42\times 10^7}

\lambda'=78.086\ nm
