Answer:

  e) about 10 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is nominally* 9.8 m/s². That means the change in velocity each second is ...

  (9.8 m/s²)(1 s) = 9.8 m/s ≈ 10 m/s

_____

* This is the value expected to be used in the solution of many math and physics problems. The standard value of 'g' on Earth is defined as 9.80665 m/s². It varies from place to place and with altitude. At any given place, it may also vary with time as a result of changes in mass distribution within the Earth.

A stationary block resting on the ground is pulled up with a tension force of 100N, but does not leave the ground.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The normal force the ground exerts on the block, F = -300 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The block pulled up with a tension force, T = 100 N

The weight of the block, W = 300 N

The weight of the block is due to the force of attraction of gravitation.

The surface exerts a force that is equal and opposite to the force acting on the block due to gravitation.

The weight of the block,

                                  W = mg

                                          300 N

The normal force the ground exerts on the block,

                                  F = - mg

                                    = - 300 N

Hence, the normal force the ground exerts on the block, F = -300 N

Can someone pleaseeee answer this !!!!!!
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The person with locked legs will experience greater impact force.

Explanation:

Let the two persons be of nearly equal mass (say m)

The final velocity of an object (person) dropped from a height H (here 2 meters) is given by,

v=\sqrt{2gH}

(g = acceleration due to gravity)

which can be derived from Newton's equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2aS

Now, the time taken (say t ) for the momentum ( mv ) to change to zero will be more in the case of the person who bends his legs on impact than who keeps his legs locked.

We know that,

Force=\frac{\Delta(mv)}{t}

Naturally, the person who bends his legs will experience lesser force since t is larger.

Two polarizing sheets have their transmission axes crossed so that no light is transmitted. A third sheet is inserted so that it
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a)    I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)    b) 75.5º

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we must use Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² θ

where tea is the angle between the two polarizers.

We apply this expression to our case

* Polarizer 1 suppose that it is vertical and polarizer 2 (intermediate) is at an angle θ with respect to the vertical

         I₁ = I₀ cos² θ

* We analyze for the polarity 2 and the last polarizer 3 which indicate that it must be at 90º from the first one, therefore it must be horizontal.

The angle of polarizers 2 and 3 is θ' measured from the horizontal, if we measure with respect to the vertical

              θ₂ = 90- θ’ = θ

fiate that in the exercise we must take a reference system and measure everything with respect to this system.

          I = I₁ cos² θ'

       

we substitute

         I = (I₀ cos² tea) cos² (θ - 90)

        cos (θ -90) = cos θ cos 90 + sin θ sin 90 = sin θ

         I = Io cos² θ sin² θ

        1= cos²θ+ sin²θ

       sin²θ = 1 - cos²θ

        I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)

b) to find when the intensity is maximum,

we can use that we have an extreme point when the drift is zero

          \frac{dI}{d \theta} = 0

          \frac{dI}{d \theta}= Io (2 cos θ - 4 cos³θ) = 0

whereby

            cos θ - 2 cos³ θ = 0

            cos θ ( 1 - 2 cos² θ) = 0  

The zeros of this function are in

           θ = 90º

           1-2cos²θ =0       cos θ = 0.25  θ =  75.5º

Let's analyze this two results for the angle of 90º the intnesidd is zero with respect to the first polarizer, so it is not an acceptable solution.

Consequently, the angle that allows the maximum intensity to pass is 75.5º

A 7.7 kg sphere makes a perfectly inelastic collision with a second sphere initially at rest. The composite system moves with a
klemol [59]

Answer:

15.4 kg.

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.

Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)

Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s

Substitute into equation 1

7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')

23.1 = 7.7+m'

m' = 23.1-7.7

m' = 15.4 kg.

Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg
