Answer:

you get to understand why things happen this way

Explanation:

for example, are you not curious about why when standing in the bus and when the bus stops, you will might feel like you are going to fall ,

why does this happen because....

newton's laws explains it,

inertia causes you to be reluctant to change your initial state of motion due to your mass so you fall because you are still moving at the 'speed of the bus ' , something in like that

hope this helps,

please mark also

The 1.53-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

$T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2$

$0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2} \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}$

Also;

$\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}$

Thus;

$k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}$

where;

$\delta$ = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

$k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}$

$k = 104.82\ \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

$T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3 \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0$

$\frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + k(\sqrt{h^2+a^2+2ah sin \theta } - \sqrt{h^2+a^2})^2 - mg(a+b)sin \theta = 0$

$\frac{1.53(0.6+0.6)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + 104.82(\sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2+2(0.6*0.6) sin 32 } - \sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2})^2 - (1.53*9.81)(0.6+0.2)sin \ 32 = 0$

$0.7344 \omega_3^2 = 2.128$

$\omega _3 = \sqrt{\frac{2.128}{0.7344} }$

$\omega _3 =1.70 \ rad/s$

Thus, the angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

A 70 ft rope hangs from a helicopter above this room. The rope has a mass per unit length of 2 lb/ft. In order to be rescued fro

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

= 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs + 140 lbs

= 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s² x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s² = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

A certain moving electron has a kinetic energy of 0.991 × 10−19 J. Calculate the speed necessary for the electron to have this e

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

$K.E=\frac{1mv^2}{2}$

K.E= kinetic energy = $0.991\times 10^{-19}J$

m= mass of an electron = $9.109\times 10^{-31}kg$

v= velocity of object = ?

Putting in the values in the equation:

$0.991\times 10^{-19}J=\frac{1\times 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg\times v^2}{2}$

$v=466462m/s$

The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

(a) As a soap bubble thins it becomes dark, because the path length difference becomes small compared with the wavelength of lig

OLga [1]

Answer:

t< 75 nm

Explanation:

A soap bubble is a thin film where when the beam enters the film it has a 180º phase change due to the refractive index and the wavelength changes between

λ = λ₀ / n

In the case of constructive interference in the curve of the spherical film it is

2 nt = (m + ½) λ₀

Where t is the thickness of the film and n the refractive index that does not indicate that we use that of water n = 1.33, m is an integer. The thickness of the film for the first interference (m = 0) is

t = λ₀ / 4 n

A thickness less than this gives destructive interference.

Let's look for the thickness for the visible spectrum

Violet light λ₀ = 400 nm = 400 10⁻⁹ m

t₁ = 400 10⁻⁹ / 4 1.33

t₁ = 75.2 10-9 m

Red light λ₀ = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m

t₂ = 700 10⁻⁹ / 4 1.33

t₂ = 131.6 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore, for all wavelengths to have destructive interference, the thickness must be less than 75 10⁻⁹ m = 75 nm

b) a film like eta is very thin, it is achieved when gravity thins the pomp, but any movement or burst of air breaks it,
