In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the

shell cracks. If a seagull flies to a height of 23.1 m, how long will the clam take to fall? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of sec.

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

Solving for t:

t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s

You attach a 1.70 kg block to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the block until the spring is stretched by
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

maximum speed of the block is 3.14 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass = 1.70 kg

stretch in the spring = 0.2 m

time take by block to come to zero  t = 0.2 s

solution

we know that Time period of oscillation (T) that is express as

T = 2t    ......................1

put here value

T = 2 (0.2)

T = 0.4 s

so here time period is express as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}     ................2

here k is spring constant of the spring so  put here value

0.4  =  2(\pi ) \sqrt{\frac{1.70}{k}}  

here k will be

k = 419.02 N/m

so we use here conservation of energy that is

Maximum kinetic energy = Maximum spring potential energy   ............3

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

here v is maximum speed block

so put here value and we get

(1.70) v² = (419.02) (0.2)²

v = 3.14 m/s

so maximum speed of the block is 3.14 m/s

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

λ = 451.7 nm

Explanation:

The expression for the constructive interference of the double diffraction experiment is

          d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

   

how the experiment occurs at very small angles

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

          sin θ = y / L

we substitute

         d y / L = m λ  

         λ = \frac{d \ y}{m \ L}

let's calculate

          λ = \frac{0.342 \ 10^{-3} \ 2.80 \ 10^{-3} }{1 \ 2.12 }

          λ = 4.51699 10⁻⁷ m

          λ = 4.517 10⁻⁷ m (109 nm / 1m)

          λ = 451.7 nm

What is the energy level of hydrogen?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

Explanation:

A scientist known as Niels Bohr put forward that electrons in an atom covers some permitted orbitals with a specific energy. In other words, the energy of an electron in an atom is not continuous, but 'quantized.' The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

E = -\frac{E_0}{n^2} \\where \\E_0 = 13.6 eV (1 eV = 1.602\times 10^{-19}Joules)\\and\ n = 1,2,3...
