Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Doubling the speed will quadruple the kinetic energy. The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is: This means that the factor by which kinetic energy increases is the square of the factor by which speed or velocity increases for a given object.

Answer: The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, so doubling the speed increases the kinetic energy by a factor of 4.

If the momentum of an object is doubled, but its mass does not increase (so velocity remains well below the speed of light), then its velocity is doubled. If the velocity is doubled then the kinetic energy increases by the square of 2, or four time. Hence kinetic energy of the body will be 4 times to its eirlier value.

A body oscillates with simple harmonic motion along the x axis. Its displacement varies with time according to the equation x =

frutty [35]

Answer:

θ = (7π / 3) rad

Explanation:

given,

displacement of simple harmonic motion along x-axis

equation is given as

x = 5 sin (π t + π/3 )

general equation of simple harmonic motion

x = A sin θ

θ is the phase angle

θ = π t + π/3

at t = 2 s

$\theta =\pi \times 2 +\dfrac{\pi}{3}$

$\theta =\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\ rad$

Phase of the motion at t =2 s is θ = (7π / 3) rad

C. A could be ruby (speed of light = 170,000 km/s); B could be diamond (speed of light = 120,000 km/s).

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a light rays crosses the boundary between two different mediums.

When this occurs, the light wave changes speed and also direction, according to Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$ (1)

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the first medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the second medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

The index of refraction is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in the medium (v):

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

Using this definition, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1} = \frac{v_2}{v_1}$

Where $v_2$ is the speed of light in the 2nd medium and $v_1$ the speed of light in the 1st medium.

Now let's analyze the situation represented in the figure: we see that as the light ray enters the 2nd medium, it bends towards the normal, this means that the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence:

$\theta_2 < \theta_1$

This means that

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1}$

And therefore,

$\frac{v_2}{v_1}$

So, the speed of light in the second medium is smaller than the speed of light in the first medium: this occurs only in option C), which is therefore the correct choice.

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to

algol13

Answer:

gamma rays < X-ray < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared < radio wave

Explanation:

given light form,

A) radio waves,B) infrared,C) visible light,D) ultraviolet,E) X-rays,F) gamma rays

we know,

wavelength of radio wave = 10000 Km

wavelength of infrared = 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm)

wavelength of visible light = 380 to 740 nm

wavelength of ultraviolet ray = 10 nm to 400 nm

wavelength of X-ray = 0.01 to 10 nm

wavelength of gamma rays = 100 picometer

so, the order of rays.

gamma rays < X-ray < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared < radio wave

A pneumatic system consists of several identical 1.5 inch diameter cylinders to lift 450-pound pallets in a warehouse. the gauge

DerKrebs [107]

The applicable equation:

P = F/A

P = pressure
F = Force or weight
A = surface area

Pressure on each cylinder = (W/n)/A
Where n = number of cylinders. Additionally, pressure in the reservoir is equivalent to the pressure in each cylinder.
Net pressure = 75 - 14.7 = 60.3 psi

Therefore,
60.3 = (W/n)/A = (450/n)/(πD^2/4) = (450/n)/(π*1.5^2/4) = (450/n)/(1.7671)
60.3*1.7671 = 450/n
106.03 = 450/n
n = 450/106.3 = 4.244 ≈ 5

The number of cylinders is 5.
