A 15.0 kg bucket is lowered vertically by a rope in which there is 188 N of tension at a given instant

Physics
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: 2.72 m/s²

Explanation:

F = m(g + a)

188 = 15.0(9.81 + a)

188 = 147.15 + 15.0a

40.85 = 15.0a

a = 2.7233333... ≈ 2.72 m/s²

This is an upward acceleration as the force being applied is greater than that needed to maintain constant velocity. (147 N)

So even though the bucket is being lowered, it's rate of descent is decreasing  with time. If the acceleration continues for long enough, the bucket will begin to rise.

Convert 68852 millijoules into Calories. (Write your answer in the decimal form. Do not include units in your answer).
alex41 [277]

Answer: 68852 millijoules = 16.46 calories

Explanation:

Given;

Convert 68852 millijoules to calories.

1 calorie = 4.184J = 4184millijoules

Therefore,

1 millijoule = 1/4184 calories

68852 millijoule = 68852 × 1/4184 calories

= 16.46 calories

Which of the following statements about energy is true? I. Kinetic energy cannot be transformed into another type of energy. II.
Mashcka [7]

Answer: B. II and III only

Explanation:

Let’s begin by explianing what energy is: the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others. In this sense, there are several types of energy, but we will talk especifically in this case about <u>kinetic energy</u> and <u>potential energy</u>.

<u>Kinetic energy </u>is the energy an object or body has due to its movement and depends on the mass and velocity of the object or body.

To understande it better: If an object is at rest, its velocity is null and it does not have kinetic energy, however, if the object is moving, then it has kinetic energy.

On the other hand, <u>Potential energy</u> is known as <em>“stored energy”</em> that has the potential to be converted into energy of motion (kinetic energy) or another type of energy (thermal energy, for example). In addition, this energy is related to the work done when a certain force moves an object or body from its natural resting state along a distance to a new position.

So, according to this, Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy or any other type of energy. Hence, options II and III are correct.

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta  _ i  = 56^o

     The refractive index of violet light  in diamond  is  n_v = 2.46

       The refractive index of red light in diamond is n_r = 2.41

      The wavelength of violet light is  \lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m

         The wavelength of red  light is  \lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m

Snell's  Law can be represented mathematically as

         \frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n

Where \theta_r is the angle of refraction

=>       sin \theta_r  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}

Now considering violet light

               sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}

                 sin \theta_r__{v}}  =  0.337

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.337)

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  19.69^o

Now considering red light

               sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}

                 sin \theta_r__{R}}  =  0.344

                 \theta_r__{R}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.344)

                 \theta_r__{R}}  = 20.12^o

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

                  \Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} -  \theta_r__{V}}

substituting values

                  \Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69

                  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o
