Answer:

The correct answer is <u>option (A) that is KEA > KEB .</u>

Explanation:

Let us calculate -

If the object is straighten up and inclined plane , the work done is

W=F_d- F_f_r_id-F_gh

W=F_d-\mu_kmgdcos\theta-mgdsin\theta

The change in kinetic energy is ,

   \Delta K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}m\nu_0^2

At the top of the inclined plane , the velocity is zero

So,

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m(0)^2-\frac{1}{2}m\nu_0^2

\Delta KE=-\frac{1}{2}m\nu_0^2

From the work energy theorem , we have W=-\Delta K in case of friction , so

\frac{1}{2}m\nu_0^2=Fd-\mu_kmgdcos\theta-mgdsin\theta

KE=Fd-\mu_kmgdcos\theta-mgdsin\theta

For object A-

KE_A=Fd-\mu_kmgdcos\theta-mgdsin\theta

For object B

KE_B= Fd -2\mu_kMgdcos\theta-2Mgdsin\theta

KE_B= Fd -2(\mu_kMgdcos\theta-Mgdsin\theta)

Thus , larger mass is going to mean less total work and a lower kinetic energy .

From the above results , we get

KE_A >KE_B

<u>Therefore , option A is correct .</u>

3. Calculate the wavelength of wave that has a frequency of 4.75 x 1012Hz.
Klio2033 [76]
  • Frequency=v=4.75×10^12Hz
  • Wavelength=?

We know

\boxed{\sf \lambda=\dfrac{C}{V}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto \lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8ms^{-1}}{4.75\times 10^{12}s^{-1}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto \lambda=0.631\times 10^{-4}m

\\ \sf\longmapsto \lambda=6.31\times 10^{-5}m

A diver jumps off a diving platform that is 20 meters long. Describe the transfer of energy that occurs during the fall.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by

E=mgh

where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

Two spaceships that have different masses but rocket engines of identical force are at rest in space. if they fire their rockets
NISA [10]
Force is calculated F=m×a.
If both ships speed up with the same force, but have a different mass, This means that a also has to be different. If F is the same but ship a has a bigger mass(m) than ship b, then the acceleration(a) of ship b has to be bigger so F of each ship is the same. So the ship with the smaller mass will speed up faster.
