Not only did Skid get shot out of a cannon when he was a clown in the circus, but he was also launched into the air by a vertica

lly compressed spring. Skid of 55 kg is standing on a massless platform attached to a spring of constant 8700 N/m that is compressed 125 cm. Skid is launched from rest. He eventually leaves the platform and reaches a peak high above the platform. (a) What is the velocity of Skid when he leaves the platform

Answer:

v = 16.11 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy. We set a reference system on the part of the platform without elongation

starting point. When the spring is compressed

        Em₀ = K_e + U = ½ k x² + m g x ’

final point. The point where it leaves the platform

        Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ k x² + m g x ’= ½ m v²

         v² = \frac{k}{m}  x² + g x

let's calculate

         v² = \frac{8700}{55}  1.25² + 9.8 1.25

         v² = 247.159 + 12.25 = 259.409

         v = 16.11 m / s

Sabrina decided to start selling lemonade on her street. The other kids in the neighborhood noticed that Sabrina was making a lo
suter [353]

Answer:

e. Decreased; Increased

Explanation:

The market equilibrium refers to the condition in which the price and the quantity are in equilibrium if the conditions of supply (what the producers offer) and demand (what the consumers buy) don't change.

In this case we have that as the other kids decide to sell more lemonade the amount of lemonade is going to increase (equilibrium quantity) and because of this the price is going to decrease (equilibrium price).

Then when the other kids open theirown lemonade stand, the equilibrium price <u>descreased</u> and the equilibrium quantity <u>increased.</u>

What is the energy of a photon that has the same wavelength as an electron having a kinetic energy of 15 ev?
serg [7]

Answer: 6.268(10)^{-16}J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an electron K_{e} is given by the following equation:

K_{e}=\frac{(p_{e})^{2} }{2m_{e}}   (1)

Where:

K_{e}=15eV=2.403^{-18}J=2.403^{-18}\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}

p_{e} is the momentum of the electron

m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg  is the mass of the electron

From (1) we can find p_{e}:

p_{e}=\sqrt{2K_{e}m_{e}}    (2)

p_{e}=\sqrt{2(2.403^{-18}J)(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)}  

p_{e}=2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}   (3)

Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron \lambda_{e}   with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:

\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p_{e}}    (4)

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

So, we will use the value of p_{e} found in (3) for equation (4):

\lambda_{e}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}}    

\lambda_{e}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (5)

We are told the wavelength of the photon  \lambda_{p} is the same as the wavelength of the electron:

\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{p}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (6)

Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon E_{p} using the following equation:

E_{p}=\frac{hc}{lambda_{p}}    (7)

Where c=3(10)^{8}m/s  is the spped of light in vacuum

E_{p}=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.168(10)^{-10}m}  

Finally:

E_{p}=6.268(10)^{-16}J

Explain in your own words the interaction between the electric and magnetic fields that make up a light wave.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

They oscillates perpendicularly to one another, the oscillation of one field generates the other field.

Explanation:

In a light wave, an oscillating electric field of a light wave produces a magnetic field, and the magnetic field also oscillates to produce an electric field. The magnetic field and the electric field of a light wave both oscillates perpendicularly to one another. The resultant energy and direction of the wave generated as a result of these oscillating fields is propagated perpendicularly to both fields.

The diagram shows a ball resting at the top of a hill.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

Explanation:

Let be X the point where a ball rests at the top of a hill. By applying the Principle of Energy Conservation, the total energy in the physical system remains constant and gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill is equal to the sum of kinetic energy, a lower gravitational energy and dissipated work due to nonconservative forces (friction, dragging).

U_{grav, X} = U_{grav, Y} + K_{Y} + \Delta W_{X \rightarrow Y} = U_{grav,Z}+\Delta W_{X \rightarrow Z}

Conclusions are showed as follows:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

b) The kinetic energy is the lowest at X and Z.

c) Total energy remains constant as the ball moves from X to Y.

Hence, the correct answer is A.
