A ball is thrown horizontally at a speed of 16 m/s from the top of a cliff. If the ball hits the ground 6.0 s later, approximate

Answer:

Y = 176.4 m

Explanation:

For the height of cliff we will analyze the vertical motion. We will apply the 2nd equation of motion:

Y = V₀y*t + (0.5)gt²

where,

Y = Height = ?

V₀y = Initial Vertical Velocity = 0 m/s (since, ball is thrown horizontally)

t = time = 6 s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Y = (0 m/s)(6 s) + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)(6 s)²

<u>Y = 176.4 m</u>

A laser emits two wavelengths (λ1 = 420 nm; λ2 = 630 nm). When these two wavelengths strike a grating with 450 lines/mm, they pr
Westkost [7]

A) Order of the first laser: 3, order of the second laser: 2

B) The overlap occurs at an angle of 34.9^{\circ}

Explanation:

A)

The formula that gives the position of the maxima (bright fringes) for a diffraction grating is

d sin \theta = m \lambda

where

d is spacing between the lines in the grating

\theta is the angle of the maximum

m is the order of diffraction

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

For laser 1,

d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1

For laser 2,

d sin \theta = m_2 \lambda_2

where

\lambda_1 = 420 nm\\\lambda_2 = 630 nm

Since the position of the maxima in the two cases overlaps, then the term d sin \theta on the left is the same for the two cases, therefore we can write:

m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda_2\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{630}{420}=\frac{3}{2}

Therefore:

m_1 = 3

m_2 = 2

B)

In order to find the angle at which the overlap occurs, we use the 1st laser situation:

d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1

where:

N = 450 lines/mm = 450,000 lines/m is the number of lines per unit length, so the spacing between the lines is

d=\frac{1}{N}=\frac{1}{450,000}=2.2\cdot 10^{-6} m

m_1 = 3 is the order of the maximum

\lambda_1 = 420 nm = 420\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the laser light

Solving for \theta, we find the angle of the maximum:

sin \theta = \frac{m_1 \lambda_1}{d}=\frac{(3)(420\cdot 10^{-9})}{2.2\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.572

So the angle is

\theta=sin^{-1}(0.572)=34.9^{\circ}

A car is running at the speed of 45km/hr see a child 25 meter ahead and suddenly apllies a brakes. If the retradation of the car
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Explanation:

In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:

x=x_o+v_ot-\frac{1}{2}at^2        (1)

vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h

a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2

t: time

xo: initial distance to the child = 25m

x: final distance to the child = 0m

It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.

You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:

45\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=12.5\frac{m}{s}

0=25+12.5t-2t^2\\\\2t^2-12.5t-25=0\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-12.5)\pm \sqrt{(-12.5)^2-4(2)(-25)}}{2(2)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{12.25\pm 18.87}{4}\\\\t_1=7.78s\\\\t_2=-1.65s

You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.

The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.
