(a) Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.45 s for a rock to hit the ground when thrown straight up from the cliff with

an initial velocity of 8.75 m/s.
(b) How long would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?

An object in free fall motion is under the influence of gravitational force only

The height and time are;

(a) The height of the cliff, h ≈ <u>8.00 meters</u>

(b) The time it takes the rock to rich the ground with the same speed going  downward is approximately <u>0.67</u><u> seconds</u>

The reason the above values are correct are as follows:

The given parameters are;

The time it takes for the rock to hit the ground when thrown straight up from the cliff, t = 2.45 s

The initial velocity with which the rock is thrown, u = 8.75 m/s

(a) To find the height of the cliff

Solution

The kinematic equation of motion is s = y₀ + u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

The time it takes to maximum height, t_{max} = 8.75/9.81

The time it takes to get back to the cliff edge when thrown = 2 × 8.75/9.81

The time taken to fall at the velocity of <em>u</em> downwards from the cliff edge, t_{cliff}, is given as follows;

t_{cliff} = 2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81 ≈ 0.666

Height of cliff, h = 8.75×(2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81) + (1/2) × 9.81 × (2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81)² ≈ 8

The height of the cliff, h ≈ <u>8.00 meters</u>

(b) The time it takes the rock to rich the ground when thrown straight down art the same speed, (calculates above) = t_{cliff} ≈ <u>0.67 seconds</u>

When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a cobalt surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 0.17 eV are emitted. Fin
dusya [7]

Answer:

(a) 5.04 eV (B) 248.14 nm (c) 1.21\times 10^{15}Hz

Explanation:

We have given Wavelength of the light  \lambda = 240 nm

According to plank's rule ,energy of light

E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{}\lambda

E = h\nu = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{ 240\times 10^{-9} m\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV}= 5.21 eV

Maximum KE of emitted electron i= 0.17 eV

Part( A) Using Einstien's equation

E = KE_{max}+\Phi _{0}, here \Phi _0 is work function.

\Phi _{0}=E - KE_{max}= 5.21 eV-0.17 eV = 5.04 eV

Part( B) We have to find cutoff wavelength

\Phi _{0} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}

\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{hc}{\Phi _{0} }

\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{5.04 eV\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV }=248.14 nm

Part (C) In this part we have to find the cutoff frequency

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}= \frac{3\times 10^{8}m/s}{248.14 \times 10^{-19} m }= 1.21\times 10^{15} Hz

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int
vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system on the surrounding


In this problem, the work done by the system is

W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.


Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ

WARRIOR [948]

Physical fitness is related to our ability to carry out daily tasks without being too tired or sore. This statement is TRUE.  

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Good physical fitness means that you can perform daily activities, occupations, and sports. This condition will be achieved through good nutrition, regular exercise, and have enough rest.  

The benefit of physical activity and exercise can be immediate as well as long-term. Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life.There are four types of physical fitness:

  1. Cardiovascular exercise: exercises that increase the work of the heart and lungs, such as walking, jogging, step aerobics, swimming, and biking. Cardio activity improves your heart/lung function and muscle mass.
  2. Muscular strength exercise: this exercise is to build overall strength and muscle mass.
  3. Joint flexibility exercise:  this exercise to help the ability of the muscle group can be stretched or joint can be moved, for example: bending, lifting and driving. Stretching can reduce the risk of injury.  
  4. Muscular endurance exercise:  this exercise to find out how many repetitions of exercises a person can perform, such as push-ups and sit-ups.
