Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before. 
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.

This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:

               Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).

                           D = 1/2 A T²

For your student who dropped an object out of the window,

     Distance = 19.6 m
     Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

                                              D = 1/2 G T²

                                          19.6 =   4.9   T²

Divide each side by 4.9 :       4  =           T²

Square root each side:           2  =          T

When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes  2  seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.

Earth's gravity is 9.807 m/s²

Using this we can divide 19.6/9.807 to get 1.999 seconds or two if you round.

Light passes through a pair of narrow slits with a 0.67-mm separation. It is found that the fourth bright fringe makes an angle
babunello [35]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 555 nm.

Explanation:

according to Bragg's law..

n×λ = d×sin(θ)

n is the fringe number

λ is the wavelength of the light

d is the slit separation

θ is the angle the light makes with the normal at the fringe.

An artist working on a piece of metal in his forging studio plunges the hot metal into oil in order to harden it. The metal piec
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The temperature of the metal is  T_m  =  376.8 ^o C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the metal is  M =  60 \ kg

     The specific heat of the metal is  c_p  =  0.1027 kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC)

       The mass of the oil is M_o  =  810 \ kg

       The temperature of the oil is  T_o  =  35^oC

       The specific heat of oil is  c_o  =  0.7167 kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC )

       The equilibrium temperature is T_e  =  39 ^oC

According to the law of energy conservation

     Heat lost by metal  =  heat gained by the oil

So  

   The quantity  of heat lost by the metal is mathematically represented as

               Q =  - Mc_p \Delta T

=>            Q =  -Mc_p (T_m  -  T_c)

Where T_ m  the temperature of metal before immersion

The negative sign show heat lost

The quantity  of gained t by the metal is mathematically represented as      

           Q =  M_o c_o \Delta T

=>        Q =  M_o c_o (T_c - T_o)

So  

         Mc_p (T_m  -  T_c)   =   M_o c_o (T_c - T_o)

substituting values

          - 60 * 0.1027 (T_m  - 39)   =   810 * 0.7167 *  (39 - 35)

=>       T_m  =  376.8 ^o C

A non-conducting sphere of radius R = 3.0 cm carries a charge Q = 2.0 mC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At what di
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

Explanation:

given data

Radius of sphere 3.0 cm

charge Q = 2.0 m C

We know that maximum electric field is given as

E_{MAX}= \frac{KQ}{r^{2}}

electric field inside the sphere can be determine by using below relation

\frac{KQ}{r^{2}}= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{KQ}{R^{2}}

r = \sqrt{2}R

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

What is the relationship between the applied force of a hanging mass on a spring and the spring force of the spring?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

elastic force and weight are related to the acceleration of the System.

Explanation:

The relationship between these two forces can be found with Newton's second law.

        F_{e} - W = m a

        K x - m g = m a

We see that elastic force and weight are related to the acceleration of the System.

If a harmonic movement is desired, an extra force that increases the elastic force is applied, but to begin the movement this force is eliminated, in general , if the relationship between this external and elastic force is desired, the only requirement is that it be small for harmonic movement to occur
