We’re measuring the velocity, so that we can find the change in kinetic energy. Where should you place the photogate to measure

the cart’s velocity? Briefly explain your reasoning.

Answer:

minimum two photogate

Explanation:

The photogate allows us to activate the measurement of time, so we must place at least two of them, one at the beginning of the movement to measure the initial time and another at the end of the movement to measure the final time, of course we must have measured the distance. This gives us the average speed between the two photocells

For measurements with more changes curves, slopes, one photogate must be placed at the beginning of the curve or slope and another at the end.

1. Black Panther ran 567.5 ks to the east in 2.3 hours then tumed around and ran 2218 km to
mario62 [17]

Answer:Average Velocity of the trip=98.77km/h

Explanation:

Given that:

Black Panther started his journey with

Distance ran towards east  = 567.5km

Time ran towards east  = 2.3 hours

and then  turned back,

Distance ran towards west,  = 2218 km

Time taken towards west,  = 1.2 hours

Let us treat the westward movement as negative movement of the east

So total displacement =567.5 km east + (-2218km east )= 1,650.5km

But it seems the value of the distance ran west is wrong , because i do not think he can run  2218km under 1.2hours considering he ran 567.5m due east at 2.3hours .

So Let we use 221.8 km as distance ran due west.

So that Total Displacement becomes = 567.5 km east + (-221.8km east )= 345.7km

Total time = 2.3 + 1.2 = 3.5hrs.

Average velocity = Total displacement / total time  

.345.7km / 3.5hr =  98.77km/h

A sample of metallic frewium weighs 185N on a spring scale in air. When immersed in pure water, the frewium pulls on the scale w
balu736 [363]

Wow !  This one could have some twists and turns in it.
Fasten your seat belt.  It's going to be a boompy ride.

-- The buoyant force is precisely the missing <em>30N</em> .

--  In order to calculate the density of the frewium sample, we need to know
its mass and its volume.  Then, density = mass/volume .

-- From the weight of the sample in air, we can closely calculate its mass.

   Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
   185N = (mass) x (9.81 m/s²)
   Mass = (185N) / (9.81 m/s²) = <u>18.858 kilograms of frewium</u> 

-- For its volume, we need to calculate the volume of the displaced water.

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of displaced water, and the
density of water is about 1 gram per cm³.  So the volume of the
displaced water (in cm³) is the same as the number of grams in it.

The weight of the displaced water is 30N, and weight = (mass) (gravity).

           30N = (mass of the displaced water) x (9.81 m/s²)

           Mass = (30N) / (9.81 m/s²) = 3.058 kilograms

           Volume of displaced water = <u>3,058 cm³</u>

Finally, density of the frewium sample = (mass)/(volume)

      Density = (18,858 grams) / (3,058 cm³) = <em>6.167 gm/cm³</em> (rounded)

================================================

I'm thinking that this must  be the hard way to do it,
because I noticed that

       (weight in air) / (buoyant force) =  185N / 30N = <u>6.1666...</u>

So apparently . . .

        (density of a sample) / (density of water) =

                                  (weight of the sample in air) / (buoyant force in water) .

I never knew that, but it's a good factoid to keep in my tool-box.

Unpolarized light with intensity S is incident on a series of polarizing sheets. The first sheet has its transmission axis orien
jeka94

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial Intensity of light is S

when an un-polarized light is Passed through a Polarizer then its intensity reduced to half.

When it is passed through a second Polarizer with its transmission axis \theat =45^{\circ}

S_1=S_0\cos ^2\theta

here S_0=\frac{S}{2}

S_1=\frac{S}{2}\times \frac{1}{(\sqrt{2})^2}

S_1=\frac{S}{4}

When it is passed through third Polarizer with its axis 90^{\circ} to first but \theta =45^{\circ} to second thus S_2

S_2=S_0\cos ^2\theta

S_2=\frac{S}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}

S_2=\frac{S}{8}

When middle sheet is absent then Final Intensity will be zero

1. A spring extends by 10 cm when a mass of 100 g is attached to it. What is the spring constant? (Calculate your answer in N/m)
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

1) k = 10 [N/m]

2) a-) x = 0.4 [m]

b)  x = 0.075 [m]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this type of problems that include springs we must use Hooke's law, which relates the force to the deformed length of the spring and in the same way to the spring coefficient.

F = k*x

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons]

k = spring constant  [N/m]

x = distance = 10 [cm] = 0.1 [m]

Now, the weight is equal to the product of the mass by the gravity

W = m*g = F

where:

m = mass = 100 [g] = 0.1 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

F = 0.1*10 = 1 [N]

Now clearing k

k = F/x

k = 1/0.1

k = 10 [N/m]

2)

a ) if the force is 4 [N]

clearing x

x = F/k

x = 4/10

x = 0.4 [m]

m = 75 [g] = 0.075 [kg]

W = m*g = F

F = 0.075*10 = 0.75 [N]

x = .75/10

x = 0.075 [m]
