A bullet with a mass of 0.02 kg is fired horizontally into a block of wood hanging on a string. The bullet sricks in the wood an
djyliett [7]

Answer:

u= 20.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.02 kg

M= 2 kg

h= 0.2 m

Lets take initial speed of bullet = u m/s

The final speed of the system will be zero.

From energy conservation

1/2 m u²+ 0 = 0+ (m+M) g h

m u²=2 (m+M) g h

By putting the values

0.02 x u² = 2 (0.02+2) x 10 x 0.2       ( take g=10 m/s²)

u= 20.09 m/s

What is the wavelength of a monochromatic light beam, where the photon energy is 2.70 × 10^−19 J? (h = 6.63 ×10^−34 J⋅s, c = 3.0
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Wavelength = 736.67 nm

Explanation:

Given

Energy of the photon = 2.70 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Considering:

Energy=h\times frequency

where, h is Plank's constant having value as 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c = frequency × Wavelength

Where, c is the speed of light having value = 3×10⁸ m/s

So, Frequency is:

Frequency = c / Wavelength

So,  Formula for energy:

Energy=h\times \frac {c}{\lambda}

Energy = 2.70 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

h = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Thus, applying in the formula:

2.70\times 10^{-19}=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \frac {3\times 10^8}{\lambda}

Wavelength = 736.67 × 10⁻⁹ m

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

<u>Wavelength = 736.67 nm</u>

A rubber band has potential energy of 5 J. If the spring constant of the rubber band is 50 N/m, what is the displacement of the
Valentin [98]
To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:

PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m

Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.

Any two application of gravity
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Well the definition of an application is the act of putting to a special use or purpose so lam assuming that you want specific uses that scientists make of gravity in their work.

Well our first application has helped us to send satellites around the solar system with what Nasa calls gravity assist. Using a particular planets gravity to slingshot a satellite to another destination. Look it up.

The next application much simpler but here on Earth. There are many hydro-electric power stations in use all over the world. Water is stored at a high level and released falling 100s of metres to a turbine where it generates electricity.

Hope that helps.
