An object is released from height of 17m. The object will hit the ground approximately in

1 answer:

5 0

$\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Height, h = 17 m}\\\\\\\text{We know that,}\\\\h = v_0t + \dfrac 12 gt^2\\\\\implies h = \dfrac 12 gt^2\\\\\implies t^2 = \dfrac{2h}g\\\\\implies t =\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}g} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2(17)}{9.81}} = 1.87 ~ \text{sec}$

Which tuning forks will give rise to a beat frequency of 20 Hz when sounded together with a 240 Hz tuning fork?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Use the concept of beat frequency to find the applicable final freqeuncy for 20Hz beat frequency.

Beat can be defined as 'the interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies0

The expression for beat frequency is given as

$f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|$

Where,

$f_2 =$ Final frequency

$f_1 =$ Initial frequency

The beat frequency for us is 25Hz and the initial frequency is 240Hz, then

$20= |f_2-240|$

Being an absolute value, two values are possible, both in addition and subtraction:

$f_2 = 240 \pm 20$

The two possible values are

$f_2 = 220Hz$

$f_2 = 260Hz$

nata0808 [166]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The proportion of carbon-14 in an organism is useful in figuring out the age of that organism after it dies because <span>the proportion of carbon-14 slowly decreases after the death of the organism. Hope this answers the question.</span>

An Atwood's machine consists of two different masses, both hanging vertically and connected by an ideal string which passes over

Tasya [4]

Answer:

V₁ = √ (gy / 3)

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy, for which we define energy n the initial point and the point of average height and / 2

Starting point

Em₀ = U₁ + U₂

Em₀ = m₁ g y₁ + m₂ g y₂

Let's place the reference system at the point where the mass m1 is

y₁ = 0

y₂ = y

Em₀ = m₂ g y = 2 m₁ g y

End point, at height yf = y / 2

$E_{mf}$ = K₁ + U₁ + K₂ + U₂

$E_{mf}$ = ½ m₁ v₁² + ½ m₂ v₂² + m₁ g $y_{f}$ + m₂ g $y_{f}$

Since the masses are joined by a rope, they must have the same speed

$E_{mf}$ = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v₁² + (m₁ + m₂) g $y_{f}$

$E_{mf}$ = ½ (m₁ + 2m₁) v₁² + (m₁ + 2m₁) g $y_{f}$

How energy is conserved

Em₀ = $E_{mf}$

2 m₁ g y = ½ (m₁ + 2m₁) v₁² + (m₁ + 2m₁) g $y_{f}$

2 m₁ g y = ½ (3m₁) v₁² + (3m₁) g y / 2

3/2 v₁² = 2 g y -3/2 g y

3/2 v₁² = ½ g y

V₁ = √ (gy / 3)

A book falls of the table and hits the floor. Is work done? Why?

morpeh [17]

<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>

This is because:

When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.

When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.

Work can be given by the formula:

W = F • d

where F is the force and d is the displacement.
