Answer:
1.) h = 164.8 m
2.) U = 49.1 m/s
3.) t = 1.43 seconds
Explanation:
1.) A soccer ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 5.8 seconds to fall to the ground. The height of the building is...?
Since the soccer ball is dropped from the building, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero
Using second equation of motion
h = Ut + 1/2gt^2
Substitutes the time into the formula
h = 1/2 × 9.8 × 5.8^2
h = 164.8 m
2. The Falcon 9 launches to a height of 123 meters. What is its vertical initial velocity?
At maximum height final velocity = 0
Using the third law of motion
V^2 = U^2 - 2gH
0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 123
U^2 = 2410.8
U = 49.1 m/s
3. An apple falls from rest off a 10.m m tree. How long will it take before it hits the ground?
Since the apple fall from rest, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero
Using the second equation of motion,
h = Ut + 1/2gt^2
substitute all the parameters into the formula
10 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2
10 = 4.9t^2
t^2 = 10/4.9
t^2 = 2.04
t = 1.43 seconds
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
Amplitude is a measurement of the magnitude of displacement (or maximum disturbance) of a medium from its resting state, as diagramed in the peak deviation example below (it can also be a measurement of an electrical signal's increased or decreased strength above or below a nominal state).
Answer:
K = 373.13 N/m
Explanation:
The force of the spring is equals to:
Fe - m*g = 0 => Fe = m*g
Using Hook's law:
K*X = m*g Solving for K:
K = m/X * g
In this equation, m/X is the inverse of the given slope. So, using this value we can calculate the spring's constant:
K = 10 / 0.0268 = 373.13N/m
Answer:
Rectilinear propagation describes the tendency of electromagnetic waves to travel in a straight line. Light does not deviate when travelling through a homogeneous medium, which has the same refractive index throughout; otherwise, light suffers refraction.
