An object slides along a curved track of negligible friction, as shown in the figure. The potential energy U of the object as a

function of the position x is shown in the graph. The object starts at rest at x=0. Which of the following is a correct claim about the motion of the object?
(Would prefer an explanation, but it's not necessary)
A) The kinetic energy of the object is approximately the same at x=2m and x=5m.

B) At x=2m, the object has more potential energy than kinetic energy.

C) The object comes to rest when x=5.5m.

D) The rate of change of the potential energy is a minimum at x=0m.

E) The object achieves its maximum speed at approximately x=3m.

Answer:

E) The object achieves its maximum speed at approximately x=3m.

Explanation:

Since the object is moving in gravitational field

potential energy + kinetic energy = constant = 14 J

At  x = 3 m , potential energy is minimum that is zero

kinetic energy will be maximum .

Kinetic energy = 14 - 0 = 14 J

Hence option ( E ) is the answer.

Visible light falls into wavelength ranges of 400-700 nm, for which 1 m = 1 × 10 9 nm . The energy and wavelength of light are r
Paul [167]

Answer:

E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy of the photon can be given in terms of its wavelength by the use of the following formula:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of light = 2.998 x 10⁸ m/s

λ =  wavelength of light = 560.6 nm = 5.606 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.626\ x\ 10^{-34}\ Js)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.606\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\

<u>E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J</u>

A fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 =  50°C

temperature T2 = 80°C

solution

we know energy require to heat the air is express as

for constant pressure and volume

Q  = m ×  c × ΔT     ........................1

here m is mass of the gas and c is specific heat of the gas and Δ T is change in temperature of the gas

here both Mass and temperature difference is equal and energy required is dependent on specific heat of air.

and here at constant pressure Specific heat  is greater than the specific heat at constant volume,

so the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree at constant pressure is

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

and

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?<br>​
Zolol [24]

Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come  to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.
