Each of 100 identical blocks sitting on a frictionless surface is connected to the next block by a massless string. The first bl

ock is pulled with a force of 100 N. What is the tension in the string connecting block 100 to block 99? What is the tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51?

Answer:

The tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51 is 50 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of block = 100

Force = 100 N

let m be the mass of each block.

We need to calculate the net force acting on the 100th block

Using second law of newton

F=ma

100=100m\times a

ma=1\ N

We need to calculate the tension in the string between blocks 99 and 100

Using formula of force

F_{100-99}=ma

F_{100-99}=1

We need to calculate the total number of masses attached to the string

Using formula for mass

m'=(100-50)m

m'=50m

We need to calculate the tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51

Using formula of tension

F_{50}=m'a

Put the value into the formula

F_{50}=50m\times a

F_{50}=50\times1

F_{50}=50\ N

Hence, The tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51 is 50 N.

What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is 3.70 eV
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

h f = Wf + K

where the total energy available is h f, Wf is the work function or the work needed to remove the electron and K is the kinetic energy of the removed electron

If K = zero then hf = Wf

Wf = h f = h c / λ    or

λ = h c / Wf = 6.63E-34 * 3.0E8 / (3.7 * 1.6E-19)

λ = 6.63 * 3 / (3.7 * 1.6) E-7 = 3.36E-7

This would be 3360 angstroms or 336 millimicrons

Visible light = 400-700 millimicrons

On a smooth horizontal floor, an object slides into a spring which is attached to another mass that is initially stationary. Whe
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

E) momentum and mechanical energy

Explanation:

In the context, an object is attached to the another mass with a spring which is initially at a rest position. Now when the spring is compressed, the two masses moves with the same speed. Now since the both the masses combines with the spring to move together they are considered as one system and in this case the momentum and the kinetic energy will be conserved.

The kinetic energy and momentum of the system after collision and the kinetic energy and momentum of the two masses before collision will be constant.

A 5kg ball is on top of the school building at a height of 40m above the ground.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A-Caclcuate the potential energy of the ball at that height

Explanation:

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Using the Formula,Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10 = 980 J.

(b). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.

∴ Kinetic Energy before the body reaches the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.

∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.

∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.
