A basketball player standing up with the hoop launches the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v_o = 3.75 m/s from 2.5

m above the ground. Part (a) What is the maximum height, h (in meters), above the launch point the basketball will achieve? Part (b) On his first attempt, the ball doesn't make it high enough to reach the hoop. If the hoop is at 3.5 m above the ground, what is the minimum velocity (in/ms) with which be must launch his second attempt to reach the hoop?

Answer:

a) The maximum height the ball will achieve above the launch point is 0.2 m.

b) The minimum velocity with which the ball must be launched is 4.43 m/s or 0.174 in/ms.

Explanation:

a)

For the height reached, we use 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vo²

Here,

Vo = 3.75 m/s

Vf =  0m/s, since ball stops at the highest point

g = -9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

h = maximum height reached by ball

therefore, eqn becomes:

2(-9.8m/s²)(h) = (0 m/s)² - (3.75 m/s²)²

<u>h = 0.2 m</u>

b)

To find out the initial speed to reach the hoop at height of 3.5 m, we again use 3rd eqn. of motion with h= 3.5 m - 2.5m = 1 m (taking launch point as reference), and Vo as unknown:

2(-9.8m/s²)(1 m) = (0 m/s)² - (Vo)²

(Vo)² = 19.6 m²/s²

Vo = √19.6 m²/s²

<u>Vo = 4.43 m/s</u>

Vo = (4.43 m/s)(1 s/1000 ms)(39.37 in/1 m)

<u>Vo = 0.174 in/ms</u>

What would the speed of each particle be if it had the same wavelength as a photon of yellow light (????=575.0 nm)? Proton (mass
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Proton: v=0.689 m/s

Neutron: v=0.688 m/s

Electron: v=1265.078 m/s

Alpha particle: v=0.173 m/s

Explanation:

De Broglie equation allows you to calculate the “wavelength” of an electron or any other particle or object of mass m that moves with velocity v:

λ=\frac{h}{mv}

h is the Planck constant: 6.626×10⁻³⁴\frac{kg.m^2}{s}

We know that the wavelength of the particle is 575 nm (575×10⁻⁹m), so we find the velocity v for each particle:

λ=\frac{h}{mv}

v=h÷(mλ)

<u>Proton:</u>

m=1.673×10⁻²⁴ g · \frac{1kg}{1000g}=1.673×10⁻²⁷ kg

v=h÷(mλ)

v=6.626×10⁻³⁴\frac{kg.m^2}{s}÷(1.673×10⁻²⁷ kg×575×10⁻⁹m)

v=0.689 m/s

<u>Neutron:</u>

m=1.675×10⁻²⁴ g · \frac{1kg}{1000g}=1.675×10⁻²⁷ kg

v=h÷(mλ)

v=6.626×10⁻³⁴\frac{kg.m^2}{s}÷(1.675×10⁻²⁷ kg×575×10⁻⁹m)

v=0.688 m/s

<u>Electron:</u>

m= 9.109×10⁻²⁸ g · \frac{1kg}{1000g}=9.109×10⁻³¹ kg

v=h÷(mλ)

v=6.626×10⁻³⁴\frac{kg.m^2}{s}÷(9.109×10⁻³¹ kg×575×10⁻⁹m)

v=1265.078 m/s

<u>Alpha particle:</u>

m=6.645×10⁻²⁴ g · \frac{1kg}{1000g}=6.645×10⁻²⁷ kg

v=h÷(mλ)

v=6.626×10⁻³⁴\frac{kg.m^2}{s}÷(6.645×10⁻²⁷ kg×575×10⁻⁹m)

v=0.173 m/s

What is the threshold frequency for sodium metal if a photon with frequency 6.66 × 1014 s−1 ejects a photon with 7.74 × 10−20 J
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

5.5 × 10^14 Hz or s^-1

no orange light has less frequency so no photoelectric effect

Explanation:

hf = hf0 + K.E

HERE h is Planck 's constant having value 6.63 × 10 ^-34 J s

f is frequency of incident photon and f0 is threshold frequency

hf0 = hf- k.E

6.63 × 10 ^-34 × f0 = 6.63 × 10 ^-34× 6.66 × 10^14 - 7.74× 10^-20

6.63 × 10 ^-34 × f0 = 3.64158×10^-19

                           f0 = 3.64158×10^-19/ 6.63 × 10 ^-34

                           f0 = 5.4925 × 10^14

                            f0 =5.5 × 10^14 Hz or s^-1

frequency of orange light is 4.82 × 10^14 Hz which is less than threshold frequency hence photo electric effect will not be observed for orange light

A puck rests on a horizontal frictionless plane. A string is wound around the puck and pulled on with constant force. What fract
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

Let v be the linear velocity ,  ω be the angular velocity  and I be the moment of inertia of the the puck.

Kinetic energy ( linear ) = 1/2 mv²

Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

I = 1/2 m r² ( m and r be the mass and radius of the puck )

Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 x1/2 m r² ω²

= 1/4 m v² ( v = r ω )

Total energy

= Kinetic energy ( linear ) + Rotational kinetic energy

= 1/2 mv² +  1/4 m v²

= 3/4 mv²

rotational K E / Total K E = 1/4 m v² / 3/4 mv²

= 1 /3

So  1 /3  rd of total energy is rotational K E.

A 128.0-N carton is pulled up a frictionless baggage ramp inclined at 30.0∘above the horizontal by a rope exerting a 72.0-N pull
Elden [556K]

Answer:

(A) 374.4 J

(B) -332.8 J

(C) 0 J

(D) 41.6 J

(E)  351.8 J

Explanation:

weight of carton (w) = 128 N

angle of inclination (θ) = 30 degrees

force (f) = 72 N

distance (s) = 5.2 m

(A) calculate the work done by the rope

  • work done = force x distance x cos θ
  • since the rope is parallel to the ramp the angle between the rope and

        the ramp θ will be 0

       work done = 72 x 5.2 x cos 0

       work done by the rope = 374.4 J

(B) calculate the work done by gravity

  • the work done by gravity = weight of carton x distance x cos θ
  • The weight of the carton = force exerted by the mass of the carton = m x g
  • the angle between the force exerted by the weight of the carton and the ramp is 120 degrees.

      work done by gravity = 128 x 5.2  x cos 120

      work done by gravity = -332.8 J

(C) find the work done by the normal force acting on the ramp

  • work done by the normal force = force x distance x cos θ
  • the angle between the normal force and the ramp is 90 degrees

       

         work done by the normal force = Fn x distance x cos θ

         work done by the normal force = Fn x 5.2 x cos 90

         work done by the normal force = Fn x 5.2 x 0

         work done by the normal force = 0 J

(D)  what is the net work done ?

  • The net work done is the addition of the work done by the rope,       gravitational force and the normal force

     net work done = 374.4 - 332.8 + 0 =  41.6 J  

(E) what is the work done by the rope when it is inclined at 50 degrees to the horizontal

  • work done by the rope= force x distance x cos θ
  • the angle of inclination will be 50 - 30 = 20 degrees, this is because the ramp is inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal and the rope is inclined at 50 degrees to the horizontal and it is the angle of inclination of the rope with respect to the ramp we require to get the work done by the rope in pulling the carton on the ramp

work done = 72 x 5.2 x cos 20

work done = 351.8 J
