When light travels through a small hole, it appears to an observer that the light spreads out, blurring the outline of the hole.

Does this observation support the theory of light as a wave, or light being made of particles? Explain.

What speed would a fly with the mass of 0.55 g need in order to have the same kinetic energy as the automobile in the term 19

larisa86 [58]

<u>The question does not provide enough information to complete the answer, so I'll assume the needed data to help you to solve your own problem</u>

Answer:

<em>The fly should need to move at 9,534.6 m/s to have the same kinetic energy as the automobile</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

Is the capacity of a body to do work due to its speed and is computed by

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

We are not given enough data to compare the kinetic energy of the fly with that of the automobile. We'll assume the following characteristics:

$m_a=500\ kg$

$v_a=10\ m/s$

So its kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_a=\frac{(500)10^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle K_a=25,000\ J$

The mass of the fly is

$m_f=0.55\ gr=0.00055\ kg$

To have the same kinetic as the automobile:

$\displaystyle \frac{m_fv_f^2}{2}=25,000$

Solving for $v_f$

$\displaystyle v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2(25,000))}{m_f}}$

$\displaystyle v_f=\sqrt{\frac{50,000}{0.00055}}$

$v_f=9,534.6\ m/s$

The fly should need to move at 9,534.6 m/s to have the same kinetic energy as the automobile

When one bumper car is still and the other one hits it (both cars have the same mass) what happens?

statuscvo [17]

the first bump car will move

Explanation:

this is because as long as the other bumper car is coming with force, it mass changes and then , it is able to push the other one

An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

a) $s = 0.603\,m$ , b) $s = 2.412\,m$

Explanation:

a) The system ice cube-spring is modelled by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation. Let assume that height at the bottom is zero:

$U_{g} = U_{k}$

$m\cdot g \cdot s\cdot \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2}$

$s = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta}$

$s = \frac{(25\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.1\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 25^{\textdegree}}$

$s = 0.603\,m$

b) The distance travelled by the ice cube is:

$s = \frac{(25\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.2\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 25^{\textdegree}}$

$s = 2.412\,m$
