Answer:

G.P.E = 5.292 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 0.6 kg

Height = 0.9 m

To find the gravitational potential energy;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where,

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

But we know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

G.P.E = 0.6*9.8*0.9

G.P.E = 5.292 Joules

What is the S.I. unit of drift velocity and electron mobility?
DanielleElmas [232]
Drift velocity is equal to displacement of the moving object per unit time. The SI unit for displacement is meters while that of time is second. Hence the derived SI unit of velocity is meter per second. This also applies to electron mobility which relates to the displacement per unit time of a moving electron

A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is transformed int
Stells [14]

Answer:

A. The hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Explanation:

A.To determine the speed the hand must move with to break the board, the force workdone in breaking the board is found first.

Workdone = force × distance

Minimum force required = 870 N;

Distance moved by board/Deflection in order to break = 1.4 cm = 0.014 M

Workd done = 870 N × 0.014 m = 12.18 Nm or 12.18 J

This work done = Kinetic energy of the hand

Kinetic energy = mv²/2 ; where m is mass and v is velocity

Mass of hand = 0.50 Kg, velocity = ?, K.E. = 12.18 J

v² = 2 KE/m

v = √2KE/m

v = √(2 × 12.18/0.50)

v = 6.98 m/s

Therefore, the hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand

This can be determined using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as to find acceleration, since force = mass × acceleration

From the equation of motion, a = v² - u²/2s

At rest, v = 0, u = 6.98, s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

a = 0² - 6.98²/ 2 × 0.012

a = -2030 m/s²

Force = 2030 m/s² × 0. 50 kg = 1015 N

Therefore, Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Monochromatic light of wavelength 385 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 3.00 m away, the distance between the second
LiRa [457]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the concept of overlap and constructive interference.

For this purpose we have that the constructive interference in waves can be expressed under the function

a sin\theta = m\lambda

Where

a = Width of the slit

d = Distance of slit to screen

m = Number of order which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

\theta = Angle between incident rays and scatter planes

At the same time the distance on the screen from the central point, would be

sin\theta = \frac{y}{d}

Where y = Represents the distance on the screen from the central point

PART A ) From the previous equation if we arrange to find the angle we have that

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{y}{d})

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.4*10^{-2}}{3})

\theta = 0.2673\°

PART B) Equation both equations we have

a sin\theta = m\lambda

a \frac{y}{d} = m\lambda

Re-arrange to find a,

a = \frac{(2)(385*10^{-9})(3)}{(1.4*10^{-2})}

a = 1.65*10^{-4}m
