11. A roller coaster car is moving slowly up a long ramp to the very top of the roller coaster. It goes over the top and starts

down a steep slope and it picks up speed rapidly as it rolls down an almost vertical slope. Four seconds later, at the bottom of the steep slope, its velocity is 28 m/s. The average acceleration during those 4 seconds was 6 m/s2 . What was the initial velocity of the roller coaster car as it started down the slope?

Answer:

a = (v2 - v1) / t

a t = v2 - v1

v1 = v2 - a t

v1 = 28 m/s - 6 m/s^2 * 4 s = 4 m/s

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.
kherson [118]

Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a,

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

b.

The range is calculated now:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, \lambda = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

A_{m} = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}

sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m
