Name a situation when potential energy is useful

1 answer:

3 0

Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy because it is dependent on the mass of an object and needs to be calculated for the specific object.

As an aid in working this problem, consult Interactive Solution 3.41. A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 20.0

Answer:

V=14.9 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the formulas of parabolic motion.

The velocity X-component of the ball is given by:

$Vx=V*cos(\alpha)\\Vx=15.7*cos(31^o)=13.5m/s$

The motion on the X axis is a constant velocity motion so:

$t=\frac{d}{Vx}\\t=\frac{20.0}{13.5}=1.48s$

The whole trajectory of the ball takes 1.48 seconds

We know that:

$Vy=Voy+(a)*t\\Vy=15.7*sin(31^o)+(-9.8)*(1.48)=-6.42m/s$

Knowing the X and Y components of the velocity, we can calculate its magnitude by:

$V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} \\V=\sqrt{(13.5)^2+(-6.42)^2}=14.9m/s$

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline $n=1.38$

Wavelength of Green light is $\lambda =540\ nm$

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

$2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}$
