A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 136 ft/s. what is the height of the cliff? (use 32 ft/s2 for

the acceleration due to gravity.)

<span>(v1)^2=(v0)^2-2ad; v1= final velocity; v0= initial velocity; a=gravitational constant;d=distance Since the stone was dropped we know v0=0. (v1)^2=2ad (136)^2=2(32)d d=(136)^2/(2*32) d=289ft</span>

I need both parts please (a) Given a material with an attenuation coefficient (a) of 0.6/cm, what is the intensity of a beam (wi

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

<h3>a.</h3>

After it has traveled through 1 cm : $I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 I_0$

After it has traveled through 2 cm : $I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 I_0$

<h3>b.</h3>

After it has traveled through 1 cm : $od( 1\ cm) = 0.2606$

After it has traveled through 2 cm : $od( 2\ cm) = 0.5211$

Explanation:

<h2>a.</h2>

For this problem, we can use the Beer-Lambert law. For constant attenuation coefficient $\mu$ the formula is:

$I(x) = I_0 e^{-\mu x}$

where I is the intensity of the beam, $I_0$ is the incident intensity and x is the length of the material traveled.

For our problem, after travelling 1 cm:

$I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 1 cm}$

$I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}$

$I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}$

$I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 \ I_0$

After travelling 2 cm:

$I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 2 cm}$

$I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}$

$I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}$

$I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 \ I_0$

<h2>b</h2>

The optical density od is given by:

$od(x) = - log_{10} ( \frac{I(x)}{I_0} )$ .

So, after travelling 1 cm:

$od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.5488 \ I_0}{I_0} )$

$od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.5488 )$

$od( 1\ cm) = - ( - 0.2606)$

$od( 1\ cm) = 0.2606$

After travelling 2 cm:

$od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.3012 \ I_0}{I_0} )$

$od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.3012 )$

$od( 2\ cm) = - ( - 0.5211)$

$od( 2\ cm) = 0.5211$
