Answer:

potential energy = mgh

= 400÷1000 × 10× 4÷100

= 0.4 × 10 × 0.04

=4/10 ×10×4/100

= 4/10 × 4/10

=16/100

= 0.16 joules

m1 (400) stretches 4cm

m1 (100g) stretches 1cm

so, m2(800g) stretches 8 cm

potential energy of m2 = mgh

= 800/1000 ×10×8/100

= 0.8 × 0.8

=8/10 ×8/10

= 64/100

=0.64 joules

Ratio of s1 to s2

16/100 ÷ 64/100

= 1:4 ( answer)

A 912-kg car is being driven down a straight, level road at a constant speed of 31.5 m/s. When the driver sees a police cruiser
sergejj [24]

Answer:

786.6 N

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 912 kg

initial velocity of car, u = 31.5 m/s

final velocity of car, v = 24.6 m/ s

time, t = 8 s

Let a be the acceleration of the car

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

24.6 = 31.5 + a x 8

a = - 0.8625 m/s^2

Force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 912 x 0.8625

F = 786.6 N

Thus, the force on the car is 786.6 N.

11. A 6.0‐m wire with a mass of 50 g, is under tension. A transverse wave, for which the frequency is 810 Hz, the wavelength is
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Time will be 19 ms so option (a) is correct option

Explanation:

We have given that mass of wire m = 50 gram = 0.5 kg

Frequency f = 810 Hz

Wavelength = 0.4 m

Velocity is given by

v=wavelength\times frequency=810\times 0.4=324m/sec

Amplitude is given as d = 6 m

So time t=\frac{distance}{velocity}=\frac{6}{324}=0.01851=19ms

So option (a) is correct option

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

58.44 C

Explanation:

Electric field is found by

E=\frac {\sigma}{\epsilon_o}=\frac {Q}{A\epsilon_o}

Therefore, the charge is

Q=EA\epsilon_o


Q= 4.00 ✕ 10^{6} N/C*1.65 *10^{6} m^{2}*8.854*10^{-12}= 58.4364 C


Therefore, required charge is 58.44 C
