Answer:

340 W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / change in time

P = ΔKE / Δt

P = ½ mv² / Δt

P = ½ (90 kg) (15 m/s)² / (30 s)

P = 337.5 W

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the power is 340 W.

If both mass and speed are doubled, what happens to its momentum?
puteri [66]

The general formula is:      Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

I never like to just write a bunch of algebra without explaining it.
But in this particular case, there's really not much to say, and
I think the algebra will pretty well explain itself.  I hope so:


Original momentum = (original mass) x (original speed)


New momentum = (2 x original mass) x (2 x original speed)

                           = (2) x (original mass) x (2) x (original speed)

                           = (2) x (2) x (original mass) x (original speed)

                           =  (4) x (original mass) x (original speed)

                           =  (4) x (original momentum).

An object with total mass mtotal = 14.6 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.9 k
zheka24 [161]

Answer: 1) 0. 2) 4.2 Kg. 3) 15.4 m/s 4) 12.9 m/s 5) 0. 6) 3.62 KJ.

Explanation:

1) Assuming that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved. As initially the total mass was at rest, so initial momentum is zero, final momentum of all the system must be 0 also.

2) After the explosion, as mass must be conserved also, the sum of the masses of the three pieces must be equal to the original total mass, so we can write the following:

m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = M = 14.6 Kg = 4.9 Kg + 5.5 Kg + m₃

Solving for m₃, we have:

m₃ = 14.6 Kg - 4.9 Kg -5.5 Kg = 4.2 Kg.

3) and 4)

As momentum is a vector, if it is magnitude must be 0, this means that all his components must be 0 too.

So, we can write two equations, one for the x-component, and other for the y-component, as follows:

pₓ = m₁. v₁ₓ + m₂.v₂ₓ + m₃.v₃ₓ = 0

py = m₁.v₁y + m₂. v₂y + m₃. v₃y =0

Replacing by the values, and solving for v₃ₓ and v₃y, we get:

v₃ₓ = 15.4 m/s

v₃y = 12.9 m/s

v = √(15.4)²+(12.9)² = 20.1 m/s

5) As the center of mass must move as if all the mass were concentrated in this point, and we know that the total momentum must be 0, this tells us that the magnitude of the velocity of the center of mass must be 0 too.

6) As initial kinetic energy is 0, as  the mass was at rest, the increase in the kinetic energy is obtained simply adding the kinetic energy of every piece of mass gained after explosion, as follows:

K = K₁ + K₂ + K₃ = 1/2 (m₁ . v₁² + m₂.v₂² + m₃.v₃²)

Replacing by the values, we get:

K= 3.62 KJ

Suppose light from a 632.8 nm helium-neon laser shines through a diffraction grating ruled at 520 lines/mm. How many bright line
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the position of the m-th order brigh line (constructive interference) produced by diffraction of light through a diffraction grating is:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

where

m is the order of the maximum

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

D is the distance of the screen

d is the separation between two adjacent slit

Here we have:

\lambda=632.8 nm = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the light

D = 1 m is the distance of the screen (not given in the problem, so we assume it to be 1 meter)

n=520 lines/mm is the number of lines per mm, so the spacing between two lines is

d=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{520}=1.92\cdot 10^{-3} mm = 1.92\cdot 10^{-6} m

Therefore, substituting m = 1, we find:

y=\frac{(632.8\cdot 10^{-9})(1)}{1.92\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.330 m

So, on the distant screen, there is 1 bright fringe every 33 cm.
