Answer:

V= A ω      maximum KE of object in SHM

V2 / V1 = .958     ratio of amplitudes since ω is constant

KE2 / KE1 = 1/2 m V2^2 / (1/2 m V1^2) = (V2 / V1)^2

KE2 / KE1 = .958^2 = .918

So KE2 = .918 KE1 and .082 = 8.2% of the energy is lost in one cycle

A ski lift carries a 75.0-kg skier at 3.00 m/s for 1.50 min along a cable that is inclined at an angle of 40.0° above the horizo
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer

given,

mass of the ski = 75 Kg

speed of the skier, v = 3 m/s

time = 1.50 min = 90 s

angle of inclination, θ = 40°

distance = s x t

              = 3 x 90 = 270 m

a) W = F. d cos θ

   W = mg. d cos θ

   W = 75 x 9.8 x 270 x cos 40°

    W = 152021.52 J

work is done by the ski lift is equal to  152021.52 J

b) Power extended by the ski

 Power = \dfrac{Work\ done}{time}

Power = \dfrac{152021.52}{90}

      P = 1689.13 Watt.

power is expended by the ski lift is equal to 1689.13 W.

Monochromatic light of wavelength 687 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 1.65 m away, the distance between the second
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a ) 1.267 radian

b ) 1.084 10⁻³ mm

Explanation:

Distance of screen D = 1.65 m

Width of slit d = ?

Wave length of light   λ  = 687 nm.

Distance of second minimum fro centre y = 2.09 cm

Angle of diffraction = y / D

=  2.09 /1.65  

= 1.267. radian

Angle of diffraction of second minimum

= 2 λ / d

so 2 λ / d = 1.267

d = 2 λ / 1.267 = (2 x 687 ) /1.267 nm

=1084.45 nm = 1.084 x 10⁻³ mm.

Two cars collide and come to a complete stop. where did all of their energy go?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.
