Answer:

27.39 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Deceleration (a) = –3 m/s²

Distance (s) = 125 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity (u) =?

The initial velocity (u) of the car can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2as

0² = u² + (2 × –3 × 125)

0 = u² + (– 750)

0 = u² – 750

Collect like terms

0 + 750 = u²

750 = u²

Take the square root of both side

u = √750

u = 27.39 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the car was 27.39 m/s

What is the reflectivity of a glass surface (n =1.5) in air (n = 1) at an 45° for (a) S-polarized light and (b) P-polarized ligh

Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) $R_s = 0.092$

b) $R_p = 0.085$

Explanation:

given,

n =1.5 for glass surface

n = 1 for air

incidence angle = 45°

using Fresnel equation of reflectivity of S and P polarized light

$R_s=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_i-n_2cos\theta_t}{n_1cos\theta_i+n_2cos\theta_t} \right |^2\\R_p=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_t-n_2cos\theta_i}{n_1cos\theta_t+n_2cos\theta_i} \right |^2$

using snell's law to calculate θ t

$sin \theta_t = \dfrac{n_1sin\theta_i}{n_2}=\dfrac{sin45^0}{1.5}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$

$cos \theta_t =\sqrt{1-sin^2\theta_t} = \dfrac{sqrt{7}}{3}$

a) $R_s=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}} \right |^2$

$R_s = 0.092$

b) $R_p=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}-\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}}{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}+\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}} \right |^2$

$R_p = 0.085$

An arrow is fired vertically upwards by a bow and reaches an altitude of 134 m. Find the initial speed of the arrow on the groun

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the initial speed be u . final speed = 0

v² = u² - 2gh

v is final speed , u is initial speed , h is height .

0 = u² - 2g x 134

u² = 2 x 9.8 x 134

u = 51.25 m /s .

A 1.98 kg mass is set on a spring, and the spring compression an amount 4.78 cm. what is the spring constant?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Well, the spring constant is measured using the F=k∆x, where F is the force, k is the constant, and ∆x is the change in position. So if the mass is 1.98, the force (mxg) is 19.4. Thus the spring constant is 19.4/.0478(change in position). This equals 405.86.
