Answer:

Mechanical waves

Explanation:

Waves are periodic oscillations, that carry energy, but not matter.

Waves are classified into two types:

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, which can oscillate along the direction of propagation of the wave (longitudinal wave) or perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). These waves can only propagate in a medium, so they cannot travel in a vacuum. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves.

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves. They are the only type of wave able to propagate through a vacuum (so, through space).

Therefore, the waves that need molecules in order to transfer energy are mechanical waves.

If at 10m above the ground an object has 50J of Kinetic Energy, with 50J of Potential Energy. How high can the object travel?

steposvetlana [31]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}$

We know that:

$E_T = U + K$

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

<u>h = 20 meters</u>

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nmnm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nmnm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm

Ratling [72]

(a) The screen is 3.20m from the split.

(b) The closest minima for green, distance Δy = 0.45 cm.

When a wave hits a barrier or opening, numerous events are referred to as diffraction. It is described as the interference or bending of waves via an aperture or around the corners of an obstruction into the area that forms the geometric shadow of the obstruction or aperture.

(a)Equation of minima = sinθ = mλ/α

Given, m = 3, λ = 6.33X10⁻⁷, α = 0.00015

Putting the values in formula to get θ.

θ = sin⁻¹ ( $\frac{3 X 6.33X10^{-7} }{0.00015}$ ) = 0.01266 rad

triangle need to be drawn to find relationship between θ, y$ and L

tan(θ) = y/L where; y = 4.05 cm

L = y/tan(θ) = 3.20

Hence, the screen is 3.20m from the split.

(b) Find the closest minima for green

minima equation is sinθ = mλ/α where, m = 4 (minima with smallest distance)

sinθ = 4λ/α

θ = sin⁻¹ ( $\frac{4X6.33X10^{-7} }{0.00015}$ ) = 0.01688 rad

Calculate L using

tanθ = y/L

L = 4.5 cm

From equation subtract y₃ from y:

4.50 cm - 4.05 cm = 0.45 cm

Hence, distance Δy = 0.45 cm.

Question

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm slit. On the other side of the slit is a white screen. When the red laser is turned on, it creates a diffraction pattern on the screen.

a. The distance y3,red from the center of the pattern to the location of the third diffraction minimum of the red laser is 4.05 cm. How far L is the screen from the slit? Express this distance L in meters to three significant figures.

b. With both lasers turned on, the screen shows two overlapping diffraction patterns. The central maxima of the two patterns are at the same position. What is the distance Δy between the third minimum in the diffraction pattern of the red laser (from Part A) and the nearest minimum in the diffraction pattern of the green laser?

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal

suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

$m_c$ = The center of mass of the stick = $\frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m$

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

$I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)$

As the energy in the system is conserved

$mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s$

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s
