Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
k = 130 N/m, = 17 cm = 0.17 m (as 1 m = 100 cm)
mass (m) = 2.8 kg
When the spring is compressed then energy stored in it is as follows.
Energy =
Now, spring energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the box is launched.
So, =
=
= 1.34
v = 1.15 m/sec
Now,
Frictional force =
=
= 4.116 N
Also, Kinetic energy = work done by friction
1.8515 =
d = 0.449 m
Thus, we can conclude that the box slides 0.449 m across the rough surface before stopping.
Answer:
E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Explanation:
The energy of the photon can be given in terms of its wavelength by the use of the following formula:
where,
E = energy = ?
h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js
c = speed of light = 2.998 x 10⁸ m/s
λ = wavelength of light = 560.6 nm = 5.606 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
<u>E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J</u>
Photosynthesis in plants converts solar energy into chemical energy using electrons and protons from water.
The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
where
is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is
, and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
where
is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
where
is the final speed of the sled
is the initial speed
is the distance covered
By rearranging the equation, we find d:
