Answer:
The new height the ball will reach = (1/4) of the initial height it reached.
Explanation:
The energy stored in any spring material is given as (1/2)kx²
This energy is converted to potential energy, mgH, of the ball at its maximum height.
If the initial height reached is H
And the initial compression of the spring = x
So, mgH = (1/2)kx²
H = kx²/2mg
The new compression, x₁ = x/2
New energy of loaded spring = (1/2)kx₁²
And the new potential energy = mgH₁
mgH₁ = (1/2)kx₁²
But x₁ = x/2
mgH₁ = (1/2)k(x/2)² = kx²/8
H₁ = kx²/8mg = H/4 (provided all the other parameters stay constant)
The correct statement is
Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.
because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)
we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.
Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater
Answer:
i. The error is the rough convex mirror.
ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.
Explanation:
Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.
In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.
Answer:
The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m
The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m
The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;
The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)
∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63
In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.
