A ball is dropped out of a window and hits the ground at 14.5 m/s. How long did it take to fall to the ground?

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation:

$v_f=v_0+at$ which says that the final velocity of a falling object is equal to its initial velocity times the acceleration of gravity times the time it takes to fall. We have the final velocity, -14.5 (negative because its direction is down and down is negative), initial velocity is 0 (because it was held still by someone before it was dropped), and acceleration is -9.8 (negative again, because direction is down while acceleration increases). Filling in:

-14.5 = 0 - 9.8t and

-14.5 = -9.8t so

t = 1.5 seconds

A boy throws a ball upward with a velocity of 4.50 m/s at 60.0o. What is the maximum height reached by the ball?

Cloud [144]

Answer:

3.1m

Explanation:

Since we only care about the y direction we only need to find vy. Once u draw your vector you will realize that vy= 4.5sin60=3.897m/s.

use vf²=v²+2a(y)

At the maximum height the velocity is 0 and since the object is in freefall, a=-g

Plug in all values

0=15.1875-2*9.8(y)

solve for y

-15.1875*2/-9.8=y

y=3.1m

An accelerating voltage of 2.47 x 10^3 V is applied to an electron gun, producing a beam of electrons originally traveling horiz

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

E = Accelerating voltage = 2.47×10³ V

m = Mass of electron

Distance electron travels = 33.5 cm = 0.335 cm

$E=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2470\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\Rightarrow v=29455356.08671\ m/s$

Deflection by Earth's Gravity

$\Delta =\frac {gt^2}{2}$

Now, Time = Distance/Velocity

$\Delta =\frac {g\frac{s^2}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =\frac{9.81\frac{0.335^2}{29455356.08671^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =6.3445\times 10^{-16}\ m$

∴ Magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field is 6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Consider Compton Scattering with visible light.A photon with wavelength 500nm scatters backward(theta=180degree) from a free ele

JulijaS [17]

Answer: $4.86(10)^{-12}m$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda'=500 nm=500(10)^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the scattered photon

$\lambda_{o}$ is the wavelength of the incident photon

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}.c}$ , being $h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ the speed of light in vacuum.

$\theta=180\°$ the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

$\Delta \lambda=2.43(10)^{-12} m (1-cos(180\°))$ (2)

$\Delta \lambda=4.86(10)^{-12}m$ (3) This is the shift in wavelength
