Answer:

420m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 5minutes

Average speed = 1.4m/s

Unknown:

Distance covered = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

Mathematically;

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Distance = speed x time

Insert the parameters and solve;

Convert the time to seconds;

1 minute = 60s

5 minute = 5 x 60 = 300s

So,

Insert the parameters and find the distance;

Distance = 300 x 1.4 = 420m

A 0.200-m uniform bar has a mass of 0.795 kg and is released from rest in the vertical position, as the drawing indicates. The s

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Since, the rod is present in vertical position and the spring is unrestrained.

So, initial potential energy stored in the spring is $U_{s}$ = 0

And, initial potential gravitational potential energy of the rod is $U_{g} = \frac{mgL}{2}$ .

It is given that,

mass of the bar = 0.795 kg

g = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

L = length of the rod = 0.2 m

Initial total energy T = $\frac{mgL}{2}$

Now, when the rod is in horizontal position then final total energy will be as follows.

T = $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + I \omega^{2}$

where, I = moment of inertia of the rod about the end = $\frac{mL^{2}}{3}$

Also, $\omega = \frac{\nu}{L}$

where, $\nu$ = speed of the tip of the rod

x = spring extension

The initial unstrained length is $x_{o}$ = 0.1 m

Therefore, final length will be calculated as follows.

x' = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m

Then, x = $x' - x_{o}$

x = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m - 0.1 m

= 0.1236 m

k = 25 N/m

So, according to the law of conservation of energy

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1 \times mL^{2}}{2 \times 3}(\frac{\nu}{L})^{2}$

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

$\frac{0.795 kg \times 9.8 \times 0.2 m}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 27 N/m \times (0.1236)^{2} + \frac{1}{6} \times 0.795 \times v^{2}$

v = 2.079 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that tangential speed with which end A strikes the horizontal surface is 2.079 m/s.

A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.28 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum o

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The thickness of the oil slick is $1.95\times10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Index of refraction = 1.28

Wave length = 500 nm

Order m = 1

We need to calculate the thickness of oil slick

Using formula of thickness

$2nt= m\lambda$

Where, n = Index of refraction

t = thickness

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$2\times1.28 \times t=1\times\times500\times10^{-9}$

$t = \dfrac{1\times\times500\times10^{-9}}{2\times1.28 }$

$t=1.95\times10^{-7}\ m$

Hence, The thickness of the oil slick is $1.95\times10^{-7}\ m$
