We are given with the situation where one is inside a train moving 90 km/h and a baseball is thrown straight up while inside. In this case, the baseball will land in front of you because the person and the ball move as the speed of the train. The choice in your hand doesnt makes sense.

Answer:

here the ball we land exactly into the hand of the person who throw it upwards.

Explanation:

Since train is moving with uniform speed as

v = 90 km/h

now when we throw a ball vertically upwards with certain velocity then due to inertia the ball will automatically start moving in horizontal direction with same speed as that the speed of the train

so while ball is in air then the distance moved by the ball in horizontal direction will be same as that the distance moved by the train in horizontal direction.

So here the ball we land exactly into the hand of the person who throw it upwards.

A 65.0 kg diver is 4.90 m above the water, falling at speed of 6.40 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy as she hits the water. (Ne
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

4452.5 J.

Explanation:

The diver have both kinetic and potential energy.

Ek = 1/2mv² ................. Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy of the diver, m = mass of the diver, v = velocity of the diver.

Given: m = 65 kg, v = 6.4 m/s.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(65)(6.4²)

Ek = 1331.2 J.

Also,

Ep = mgh ............................ Equation 2

Where Ep =  Potential energy of the diver when its above the water, h = height of the diver above the water, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 65 kg, h = 4.9 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2.

Ep = 65(4.9)(9.8)

Ep = 3121.3 J.

Note: When she hits the water, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

E = Ek+Ep

Where E = Kinetic energy of the diver when she hits the water.

E = 1331.2+3121.3

E = 4452.5 J.

Why are plants generally green?
e-lub [12.9K]

The correct answer is option D, "The pigment chlorophyll reflects green light waves"

The chloroplast with in the plants consists of chlorophyll (green colour pigment) which is highly absorbent to the long and short wavelengths such as red and blue wavelength of visible spectrum and reflects green wavelengths thereby producing green colour visualizations to the viewer. The two common chlorophyll usually found in the leaves are chlorophyll A and B. Chlorophyll A is majorly responsible for reflecting the green light

An electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 780 v enters a region of constant magnetic field. part a part complete if
maxonik [38]
The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of \Delta V=780 V, so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =  e \Delta V
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
\Delta V is the potential difference

Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2 e \Delta V}{m} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(780 V)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s


Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
evB=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
B= \frac{mv}{er}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0.25 m)} =3.8 \cdot 10^{-4} T

When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons a) are random b) vary with the frequency o
jekas [21]

Answer:

b) vary with the frequency of the light

Explanation:

The phone electric effect can be expressed as

K.E=(hv -W•)

Where K.E is the Kinectic energy

W• = work function of the metal

ν =frequency of the radiation

h = Planck's constat

Then, we can see that K.E is proportional linearly to "v" in the equation above.

Therefore, When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons vary with the frequency of the light
