Answer:

Force of gravity, F = 70 N

Explanation:

It is required to find the force of gravity acting on an object that has a mass of 7 kg. Force of gravity always acts in downward direction.

The force of gravity is equal to the weight of an object. It is given by :

$F=mg$

g = acceleration due to gravity, for Earth, g = 10 m/s²

So,

$F=7\times 10\\\\F=70\ N$

So, 70 N of force of acting on an object.

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of conservation of energy, for which we have to preserve the initial kinetic energy as elastic potential energy at the end of the movement. If said equality is maintained then we can affirm that,

$\text{Initial Energy}=\text{Final Energy}$

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2=\frac{1}{2} kx^2$

Here,

m = mass

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity,

$mv^2 = kx^2$

$v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}$

Our values are,

$m = 5.22*10^4kg$

$k = 4.58*10^5N/m$

$x = 32cm = 0.32m$

Replacing our values we have,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(4.58*10^5)(5.22*10^4)}{0.32}}$

$v = 2.733*10^5m/s$

Therefore the velocity is $2.733*10^5m/s$

At take off a plane flies 100 km north before turning east to fly 200 km east. How far is its destination from where the plane t

andrew-mc [135]

First the plane turns 100 km North, and than 200 km East. Since both the directions are perpendicular to each other, therefore we can apply the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the distance between the destination and the point where plane took off

=100^{2}+200^{2}

D=223.60 km=224 km

Therefore, The destination is 224 km from where the plane took off

(a) The labelled diagram is shown.

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. Refractive index of diamond is the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond.i.e.,

μ=

Speedoflightindiamond

Speedoflightinair

and, the ratio of these velocities is 2.42. i.e., This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is

1/2.42

times the speed of light in vacuum.

Explanation:
