kompoz [17]

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.

A mass weighing pounds is attached to a spring whose constant is lb/ft. The medium offers a damping force that is numerically eq
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing values attached below is the complete question with the missing values

answer :

a) 0.083 secs

b) 0.33 secs

c)  3e^-4/3

Explanation:

Given that

g = 32 ft/s^2 ,  spring constant ( k ) = 2 Ib/ft

initial displacement = 1 ft above equilibrium

mass = weight / g = 4/32 = 1/8

damping force = instanteous velocity  hence  β = 1

a<u>)Calculate the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position.</u>

time mass passes through equilibrium = 1/12 seconds = 0.083

<u>b) Calculate the time at which the mass attains its extreme displacement </u>

time when mass attains extreme displacement = 1/3 seconds = 0.33 secs

<u>c) What is the position of the mass at this instant</u>

position = 3e^-4/3

attached below is the detailed solution to the given problem

3. Sailors use a capstan (shown below) to raise and lower the anchor. It takes two sailors located 1 meter from the center to tu
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. 2 meters.

Explanation:

To rotate the capstan a certain amount of torque is required, and if each sailor applies a force F at a distance D from the center, then for two sailors the total torque will be

\tau = 2FD\\;

therefore,  for one sailor to apply the same torque it must be that the torque \tau_2 he applies must be equal to the torque that the two sailors applied:

FD_2 =2FD

which gives

D_2 = 2D.

and since D = 1\:meter,

\boxed{D_2 = 2\: meters}

which is choice B.

For this problem, we assume that we are on planet-i. the radius of this planet is r =4200 km, the gravitational acceleration at
Minchanka [31]
The expression commonly used for potential gravitational energy is just simplification. It is actually just the first term in Taylor expansion of the real expression. 
In general, the potential energy of gravitational field is defined as:
U=-G \frac{mM}{r}
Where G is universal gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the objects centers of mass. Negative sign represents the bound state.
Since we are not given the mass of the planet we have to calculate it.
F_g=G\frac{mM}{r_p^2}\\ mg=G\frac{mM}{r_p^2}\\ g=G\frac{M}{r_p^2}
This formula can be used for any planet. It gives you the gravitational acceleration on the planet's surface. We can use it to calculate the planet's mass:
g=G\frac{M}{r_p^2}\\ M=\frac{gr_p^2}{G}=2.41\cdot 10^{24}kg
Now we can calculate the potential energy of that cannonball when it reaches its maximum height.
U=-G \frac{mM}{r}\\ U=-G \frac{mM}{r_p+h}
When we plug in the numbers we get:
U=-4.99\cdot 10^{10} J
The potential energy has to be equal to the kinetic energy.
E_k=4.99\cdot 10^{10} J
