A particle has 37.5 joules of kinetic energy and 12.5 joules of gravitational potential
energy at one point during its fall from a tree to the ground. An instant before striking
the ground, how much mechanical energy.

Answers

Answer 1

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{ME = 50 J}}[/tex]

Mechanical Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy, or:

E = U + K

Plug in the given potential and kinetic energies:

E = 12.5 + 37.5 = 50 J

Andrew skis down a hill.



Andrew starts from the top of the hill and his speed increases as he goes downhill.

He controls his speed and direction by using his skis.

He brings himself to a stop at the bottom of the hill.

Describe the energy changes that happen between starting and stopping.

Answers

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, which transforms into kinetic energy as he moves bottom of the hill

that's mean potential energy transfoms into kinetic energy

His potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when his speed increases as he goes downhill.

What is mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy is the combination of all the energy in motion represented by total kinetic energy and the total potential energy stored energy in the system which is represented by total potential energy.

Total mechanical energy is s the sum of all the kinetic as well as potential energy stored in the system.

ME = KE + PE

When Andrew skis down a hill then he had stored potential energy due to the height of the hill and his gravitational weight,

Due to the height of the slope and his weight, Andrew had potential energy stored when he skied down it.

As he descended the hill, his speed increased, transforming this potential energy into kinetic energy.

What average force magnitude is required to stop a 15,000 kg train in 12.1 s if the train is traveling at 86 km/hr

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

m = 15000 kg

t = 12.1 seconds

vi = 86 km / hr

vf =0

Formula

F = m*a

a = (vf - vi)/ t

vi has to be converted to m/s

86 km/hr [1000 m / 1 km] * [1 hour / 3600 seconds]

86 * 1000 / 3600 = 23.89 m/s

Solution

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (0 - 23.89)/12.1

a = - 1.97 m/s^2 The minus means that the trains is slowing down.

F = 15000 kg * - 1.97 m/s^2

F = -29615.7 Newtons.

The object in this diagram has a mass of 2 kg.

g = acceleration due to gravity OR gravitational field strength

h = height, or displacement (m)

ΔU = Uf - Ui, so:

Uf = 3 × 1.5 × 10 = 45 J

Ui = 3 × 0 × 10 = 0

2. Summarize how to use a spring scale to measure a pull and how to use it to apply a push with
a specific force.

Answers

If the spring constant is known, the extension or compression of the spring can be used to calculate the applied force (pull or push) on the spring.

According to Hook's law, the force applied to an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension of the material.

The force applied;

F = kx

where;

k is the spring

The applied force can be in form of push or pull. A push force can result in compression of the spring while a pull force can result in extension of the spring.

If the spring constant is known, the extension or compression of the spring can be used to calculate the applied force (pull or push) on the spring.

Light enters a glass block at an angle of incidence of 46°. The light refracts at an angle of refraction of 26°. What is the refractive index of the glass?
A 0.57
B 0.61
C 1.64
D 1.77​

Answers

Answer:

Choice C: Approximately [tex]1.64[/tex].

(Assuming that light entered into this glass block from air.)  

Explanation:

Let [tex]n_{1}[/tex] denote the refractive index of the first medium (in this example, air.) Let [tex]\theta_{1}[/tex] denote the angle of incidence.

Let [tex]n_{2}[/tex] denote the refractive index of the second medium (in this example, the glass block.) Let [tex]\theta_{2}[/tex] denote the angle of refraction.

By Snell's Law:

[tex]n_{1} \, \sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}\, \sin(\theta_{2})[/tex].

Rearrange the equation to find an expression for [tex]n_{2}[/tex], the refractive index of the second medium (the glass block.)

[tex]\begin{aligned}n_{2} = \left(\frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{2})}\right)\, n_{1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

The refractive index of air is approximately [tex]1.00[/tex]. Substitute in the values and solve for [tex]n_{2}[/tex], the refractive index of the glass block:

[tex]\begin{aligned}n_{2} &= \left(\frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{2})}\right)\, n_{1} \\ &= \left(\frac{\sin(46^{\circ})}{\sin(26^{\circ})}\right)\times 1.00 \\ &\approx 1.64\end{aligned}[/tex].

Answer:

D

Unbalanced or net forces acting on the car will cause it to move

The correct answer is option D. The net force on the car is zero​.

What forces act on a car at rest?

Since the car is not accelerating, the force of air resistance and the friction force must add to give the exact opposite of the applied force. The net force here would be zero, as well.

When an object is at rest no gravitational force is acting on it?

Newton's First Law is the law of inertia. An object with no net forces acting on it which is initially at rest will remain at rest. If it is moving, it will continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity.

How many revolutions does the motor shaft turn through between the time when the current is reversed and the instant when the angular velocity is zero

Answers

Answer:it equals 0

Explanation:hope this is a good answer

Angular velocity is the ratio of angular displacement to time. Then the number of turns by the shaft is zero.

What is angular velocity?

The rate of change of angular displacement is called angular velocity. It is a vector quantity.

We know that the angular velocity formula

[tex]\rm Angular \ velocity = \dfrac{Angular \ displacement}{time}[/tex]

The motor shaft turns through between the time when the current is reversed and the instant when the angular velocity is zero.

Then the number of turns will be

[tex]\rm Number \ of\ turns = Angular \ velocty \times time \\\\Number \ of\ turns = 0 *time \\\\Number \ of\ turns = 0[/tex]

The number of turns by the shaft is zero.

Which statement about a converging lens is not correct?

A ray parallel to the principal axis of the lens is refracted through the principal focus.

B All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.

C The distance between the centre of the lens and the principal focus is the focal length

D The principal focus of the lens is a point on the principal axis.​

Answers

Geometric optics allows you to find which the correct answer about which false statement is:

  B)  All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.

Geometric optics studies the formation of images using the light geometric properties of optical systems, the main expression for this is:

      [tex]\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}[/tex]  

Where f is the focal length, p and q the distance to the object and the image respectively.

There are some points of special interest:

Object at infinity (p = ∞).  In this case of the expression we see that the image is at the focal length. Image at infinity (q = ∞). In this case the object is at the focal point.

Let's analyze the claims.

A) True. A parallel ray comes from infinity and the image is formed at the focal point.

B) False. The image point is given by the expression above and depends on the distance to the object.

C) True. This is the definition of focal length.

D) True. All distances are measured from the main axis.

In conclusion, using geometric optics we can find that the correct answer about which false statement  is:  

      B)  All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.

A galaxy spectrum has a redshift of 70,000 km per second. If the Hubble constant is 70 km per second per Mpc (megaparsec), how far away from us in this galaxy

Answers

Using the Hubble law v = H₀d where v = recessional speed = 70,000 km per second H₀ = hubble constant = 70 km/s/Mpc and d = distance of galaxy.

Making d subject of the formula, we have

d = v/H₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

d = v/H₀

d = 70000 km/s/70 km/s/Mpc

d = 1000 Mpc

So, the galaxy is 1000 Mpc away from us.
