As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =
(3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .
If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²
23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²
Divide each side by 1.5 kg : 23.52 m²/s² = speed²
Take the square root of each side: speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) = <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)
Answer:
In bringing you to a halt, the sand and the water exert the same impulse on you, but the sand exerts a greater average force
Explanation:
Answer:
w = 4,786 rad / s
, f = 0.76176 Hz
Explanation:
For this problem let's use the concept of angular momentum
L = I w
The system is formed by the two discs, during the impact the system remains isolated, we have the forces are internal, this implies that the external torque is zero and the angular momentum is conserved
Initial Before sticking
L₀ = 0 + I₂ w₂
Final after coupling
= (I₁ + I₂) w
The moments of inertia of a disk with an axis of rotation in its center are
I = ½ M R²
How the moment is preserved
L₀ = 
I₂ w₂ = (I₁ + I₂) w
w = w₂ I₂ / (I₁ + I₂)
Let's reduce the units to the SI System
d₁ = 60 cm = 0.60 m
d₂ = 40 cm = 0.40 m
f₂ = 200 min-1 (1 min / 60 s) = 3.33 Hz
Angular velocity and frequency are related.
w₂ = 2 π f₂
w₂ = 2π 3.33
w₂ = 20.94 rad / s
Let's replace
w = w₂ (½ M₂ R₂²) / (½ M₁ R₁² + ½ M₂ R₂²)
w = w₂ M₂ R₂² / (M₁ R₁² + M₂ R₂²)
Let's calculate
w = 20.94 8 0.40² / (12 0.60² + 8 0.40²)
w = 20.94 1.28 / 5.6
w = 4,786 rad / s
Angular velocity and frequency are related.
w = 2π f
f = w / 2π
f = 4.786 / 2π
f = 0.76176 Hz

(b) Let t is the time separation of sections of sections of the light wave that can still interfere. The time period is given by :



(a) Let h is the coherence length of the source. It is given by :

c is the speed of light

l = 0.0099 m
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
B. 30 m down
Explanation:
In physics we have two types of quantities:
- Scalar quantity: it is a quantity which only has a magnitude (e.g: mass and time are scalar quantities, since they only have a magnitude)
- Vector quantity: it is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction (e.g: velocity is a vector quantity, since it has a magnitude (the speed) and a direction)
In this problem, we have:
A. 100 ounces of water --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)
B. 30 m down --> vector (this is a displacement, which has both a magnitude (30 m) and a direction (down)
C. 88 mi/s --> scalar (this is a speed, which has only a magnitude)
D. 45 gallons in a bucket --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)
So, the correct option is B.
