You are having a snowball fight with your best friend on a frosty winter day. You are standing on the roof of your 5 m tall house with a 0.4 kg snowball. You drop the snowball downward from rest toward your friend,
who is making snow angels below you. Ignoring air resistance, solve for the gravitational potential energy of
the snowball before it is released.

a) 12.5 J

b) 19.6J

c) 5J

d) 2J

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: B 19.6J

Explanation: The equation for Potential energy is PE=mgh

PE is the potential energy

m=Mass=0.4kg

g=Gravity=9.81m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

h=Height=5 metres

(0.4 kg)*(9.81m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex])*(5 metres)=19.62J

Find the speed required to throw a ball straight up and it return 6 seconds later. Neglect air resistance

Answers

Answer:

the ball will go up 3s and down 3s

v=gt

where t=3s and g=9.8m/s^2

distance=v0(t)+(1/2)gt^2

where initial velocity (v0)=0

Explanation:

The speed required to throw a ball straight up and returns 6 seconds later would be 29.43 meters/seconds.

What are the three equations of motion?

There are three equations of motion given by Newton,

v = u + at

S = ut + 1/2×a×t²

v² - u² = 2×a×s

As given in the problem we have to find the speed required to throw a ball straight up and it returns 6 seconds later,

S = ut + 1/2*a*t²

0 = u×6 + 0.5×(-9.81)×6²

0 = 6u - 176.8

6u = 176.8

u = 176.8/6

u = 29.43 meters / seconds

Thus, the speed required to throw a ball straight up and returns 6 seconds later would be 29.43 meters/seconds.

The seat on a carnival ride is fixed on the end of an 12.60-m-long beam, pivoted at the other end. If the beam sweeps through an angle of 141°, what is the distance through which the rider moves?

Answers

The distance through which the rider at the end of the beam moves is;

L = 15.5 m

We are told that the beam on which the carnival ride is fixed is 12.6m in length.

Since the seat is at the end of the beam with the other end pivoted and the beam sweeps through an angle of 141°, then we can say that the radius of this arc formed by the swing is;

Radius; r = 12.6 m

Also, θ = 141°

The distance through which the driver moves will be the length of the arc formed by the beam at angle of 141°.

Formula for length of arc is given as;

L = 2πr(θ/360)

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

L = 2π × 12.6 × 141/360

L = 15.5 m

A car’s velocity as a function of time is given by Vx (t) = α.t + β.t 2 , where α= 3m/s and β= 0.1m/s 3 . Calculate the average acceleration for the time interval

b) t= 5 to t = 10 s

Answers

The definition of average acceleration allows to find the result for the average acceleration in the given time interval is:

          [tex]a_{average}= 1.5 \ \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

Instantaneous acceleration is defined as the derivative of velocity with respect to time.

           a =   [tex]\frac{dv}{dt}[/tex]

Where a is the acceleration, v the velocity and t the time.

They indicate that the speed of the car is given by the relation.

          v = α t + β t²

With α = 3 m / s and β = 0.1 m / s³

Let's make  the derivative.

           a = α + 2β t

Let's substitute

            a = 3 + 2 0.1 t

Average acceleration is the change in velocity in the time interval.  

          [tex]a_{average} = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t }[/tex]

Let's find the velocity at the indicated time.

For t = 5 s

         v₅ = 3 + 0.1 5²

         v₅ = 5.5 m / s

For t = 10 s

          v₁₀ = 3 + 0.1 10²

          v₁₀ = 13 m / s

Let's calculate the average acceleration.

           [tex]a_{average} = \frac{13 - 5.5 }{ 10 - 5 }\\[/tex]

           [tex]a_{average}= 1.5 \ m/s^2[/tex]

In conclusion using the definition of mean acceleration we can find the result for the mean acceleration in the given time interval is:

           [tex]a_{average} =[/tex]  1.5 m / s²

A diffraction grating, ruled with 300 lines per mm, is illuminated with a white light source at normal incidence.
(i) What is the angular separation, in the third-order spectrum, between the 400 nm and 600 nm lines? [5]
(ii) Water (of refractive index 1.33) now fills the whole space between the grating and the screen. What is the angular separation, in the first-order spectrum, between the 400 nm and 600 nm lines? [5]​

Answers

the expression for diffraction grating allows to find the results for the questions for the angular separation are:

i) The third order is Δθ = 0.203 rad.

ii) The first order with water is Δθ = 0.046 rad.

The diffraction grating is a system formed by a large number of equally spaced lines whose diffraction is given by the expression.

          d sin θ = m λ

Where d is the distance between two lines, θ is the angle of diffraction, the order of diffraction and λ is the wavelength.

i) Let's start by looking for the separation between two lines

Let's use a rule of direct proportions. If there are 300 lines in 1 mm, what distance is there between two lines.

         d = 1 lines (1 mm / 300 lines) = 3,333 10⁻³ mm

         d = 3.333 10⁻⁶ m

Let's find the angle of diffraction for the third order (m = 3) for each wavelength.

λ₁ = 400 nm = 400 10⁻⁹ m

         sin θ₁ = [tex]\frac{m \ \lambda }{d}[/tex]m λ/ d

         sin θ₁ = [tex]\frac{3 \ 400 \ 10^{-9} }{3.333 \ 10^{-6} }[/tex]  

         θ₁ = sin⁻¹ 0.3600

         θ₁ = 0.368 rad

λ₂ = 600 nm = 600 10⁻⁹ m

         sin θ₂ = [tex]\frac{3 \ 600 \ 10^{-9} }{3.333 \ 10^{-6} }[/tex]  

         θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.5401

         θ₂ = 0.571 rad

The angular separation is

         Δθ = θ₂ - θ₁

         Δθ = 0.571 - 0.368

         Δθ = 0.203 rad

ii) In this case, the separation between the network and the observation screen is filled with water.

When the rays leave the network they undergo a refraction process, for which they must comply with the relationship.

           [tex]n_i \ sin \theta_1 = n_r \ sin \theta_r[/tex]

The incident side is in the air, therefore its refractive index is n_i = 1 and when it passes into the water with refractive index n_r = 1.33.

Let's start looking for the incident angles for the first order of diffraction.

      m = 1

λ₁ = 400 nm

         θ₁ = sin⁻¹  [tex]\frac{1 \ 400 \ 10^{-9}}{3.33 \ 10^{-6}}[/tex]

         θ₁ = 0.120 rad

λ₂ = 600 nm

        θ₂ = sin⁻¹¹ [tex]\frac{1 \ 600 \ 10^{-9} }{3.33 \ 10^{-6}}[/tex]

        θ₂ = 0.181 rad

we use the equation of refraction.

         [tex]\theta_r[/tex]  = sin⁻¹ ([tex]\frac{n_i}{n_r} \ sin \ \theta_i[/tex] )

λ₁ = 400 nm  

       θ₁ = sin¹ ([tex]\frac{1 sin 0.120}{1.33}[/tex]

       θ₁ = 0.090 rad

λ₂ = 600 nm

        θ₂ =sin⁻¹  [tex]\frac{1 sin 0.181}{1.33}[/tex]

        θ₂ = 0.1358 rad

The angular separation is

          Δθ = 0.1358 - 0.090

          Δθ = 0.046 rad.

In conclusion using the relation for the diffraction grating we can find the results for the questions about angular separation are:

       i) The third order is Δθ = 0.203 rad.

      ii) The first order with water is Δθ = 0.046 rad.

Explanation:

Position-Time graphs display the motion of a object by showing the changes of velocity with respect to time.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph that is represented with a horizontal line indicates that the car has stopped moving.

A straight line with a positive slope indicates that the car is moving at a constant velocity, and thus the slope is constant. On the other hand, a curve with a changing slope, shows that the velocity is changing.

A string is wrapped around a solid cylinder with mass M and radius R. The free end of the string is held in place, allowing the cylinder to fall. Recall that the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder rotated about its center is given by MR2/2. All answers to this problem should be symbolic, purely in terms of the variables M, R, and g. (a) Find the linear acceleration (in m/s2) of the cylinder and the tension in the string (in Newtons) as the cylinder falls. (b) Now suppose the cylinder is hollow instead of solid. The moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder rotated about its center is given by MR2. What is the acceleration and tension in this case?

Answers

Answer:

I will use (a / R) for alpha the angular acceleration

T R = I a / R     torque equals angular acceleration for cylinder

M g - T = M a    linear acceleration of center of mass

T = M (g - a) = I a / R^2 from first equation

If I = 1/2 M R^2 then M ( g - a) = M a / 2    from above

or g = 3 a / 2  and a = 2 g / 3

Also we have T = M (g - a) = M (g - 2 g / 3) = g / 3

Substitute I = M R^2 for the hollow cylinder

Looks like a = g/2 for hollow cylinder

B.all electromagnetic radiation carries the same amount of energy. C.electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum can change frequently to become more or less energetic. D.electromagnetic waves with high frequency are more energetic then electromagnetic waves with low frequency

Answers

Given what we know, we can confirm that option D,  Electromagnetic waves with high frequency are more energetic than electromagnetic waves with low frequency is true.

Why are high-frequency waves more energetic?

High-frequency waves are synonymous with short wavelengths. This means that the waves are oscillating much quicker and therefore carry more kinetic energy within them. This is transformed and released as electromagnetic radiation, which is the reason why high-frequency waves are more energetic than low-frequency electromagnetic waves.

Therefore, we can confirm that the statement "Electromagnetic waves with high frequency are more energetic than electromagnetic waves with low frequency" is true.

A small satellite of mass mB has period TB when it orbits planet B in a circular orbit that is just above the surface of the planet.

Answers

A period of a satellite is the time taken by the satellite to travel round a

body.

The comparison between the periods  [tex]T_B[/tex], and [tex]T_A[/tex] is [tex]\underline {T_B = \dfrac{\sqrt{2} }{4 } \cdot T_A}[/tex]

Reason:

The period, T, of a satellite is given as follows;

[tex]T = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{G \cdot M} }[/tex]

Volume of the planet A = [tex]\dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3[/tex]

Mass of planet A, [tex]m_A[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \times \rho[/tex]

Volume of the planet B = [tex]\dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot (2 \cdot r)^3 = \dfrac{32}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3[/tex]

Mass of planet B, [tex]m_B[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{32}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \times \rho[/tex]

Period of the satellite on planet A, [tex]T_A[/tex], is given as follows;

[tex]T_A = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{G \times \dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \times \rho} } = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{G \times \dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \times \rho} }[/tex]

Period of the satellite on planet B, [tex]T_B[/tex], is given as follows;

[tex]T_B = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{G \times \dfrac{32}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \times \rho} } = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{G \times \dfrac{32}{3} \cdot \pi \times \rho} }[/tex]

Therefore, get;

[tex]\dfrac{T_A}{T_B} = \dfrac{ 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{G \times 4 \cdot \pi \times \rho} }}{ 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{G \times 32 \cdot \pi \times \rho} }} = \sqrt{\dfrac{32}{4} } = \sqrt{8} = 2 \cdot \sqrt{2}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]T_A[/tex] = (2·√2)·[tex]T_B[/tex]

[tex]T_B = \dfrac{T_A}{2 \cdot \sqrt{2} } = \dfrac{\sqrt{2} \cdot T_A}{4 }[/tex]
