What is the definition of a point object?

1 answer:

4 0

Point object is an expression that is used in Kinematics. It refers the object whose dimensions are ignored or neglected and is treated as a dot object to simplify the calculations. When the object is treated as a point object it means the whole mass is summed in one point, you can imagine it as a sphere which has the mass and the radius is 0...

Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

For a charge concentrated nearly at a point, the electric field is directly proportional to the amount of charge; it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance radially away from the centre of the source charge and depends also upon the nature of the medium.

A particular interaction force does work wint inside a system. the potential energy of the interaction is u. which equation rela

larisa86 [58]

ΔU = -Wint

Consdier the work of of interaction is W =m*g*h - equation -1

and the Potential energy U.

Final Potential energy Uf =0 , And the Initial Potential Energy Ui =m*g*h

Now we will write the equation for a Change in Potential energy ΔU,

ΔU = Uf - Ui

= 0-m*g*h

ΔU = -m*g*h --Equation 2

Now compare the both equation

Wint = -ΔU

we can rewrite the above equation

ΔU = -W.

So our Answer is ΔU = -W. .

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t

ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE = ¹/₂mv²

70.59 = ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s

Given that ethylene has a λmax of 175nm, butadiene has a λmax of 220nm, and 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene has a λmax or 215nm, what is

Vika [28.1K]

The λmax of 2,3,4-trimethylhexatriene is 280 nm.

Ethylene has a λmax of 175nm.

Butadiene has a λmax of 220nm.

2-methyl-1,3-butadiene has a λmax or 215nm.

1,3,5-hexatriene has a λmax of 258nm.

Woodward's rules, sometimes known as Woodward-Fieser rules (after Louis Fieser) and named after Robert Burns Woodward, are a number of sets of empirically developed principles that aim to forecast the wavelength of the absorption maximum (max) in an ultraviolet-visible spectrum of a certain molecule.

By using the Woodward Fieser rule,

R- (Alkyl Group) .... +5 nm = 5 × 2 = 10

RO- (Alkoxy Group) .. +6 = 6 × 2 = 12

Adding 22nm to the λmax of 1,3,5-hexatriene as it has 2 alkyl groups and 2 alkoxy groups to form 2,3,4-trimethylhexatriene.

The λmax of 2,3,4-trimethylhexatriene is 280 nm.
