A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho

ut rolling). The slope makes an angle θ with the horizontal. Using conservation of energy, find the maximum vertical height hmax to which the ball will climb.

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

You throw a tennis ball (mass 0.0570 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 15.0 m/s. Air resistance cannot be neg
Deffense [45]

Answer:195 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=0.0570\ kg

ball leaves the hand with u=15\ m/s

maximum height reached by ball h=8\ m

Initial Mechanical energy when ball just leaves the hand

M.E._1=(P.E.+K.E.)_1

M.E._1=(mgh)_1+(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)_1

considering hand to be datum so h_1=0[/tex]

so Potential energy at ground is zero

M.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times (15)^2

M.E._1=6.41\ J

Mechanical Energy at highest point

(M.E.)_2=(P.E.+K.E.)_2

at highest Point velocity is zero

(M.E.)_2=mgh_2+0

(M.E.)_2=0.0570\times 9.8\times 8

(M.E.)_2=4.46\ J

Decrease in Mechanical energy

(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=6.41-4.46

(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=1.95\ J

Two uniform, solid cylinders of radius R and total mass M are connected along their common axis by a short, light rod and rest o
sveta [45]

Explanation:

A) To prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic:

System diagram for given situation is shown in attached Fig. 1

We can prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic if

a_{x} = -\omega^{2}  x

where aₓ is acceleration when attached cylinders move in horizontal direction:

<h3>PROOF:</h3>

rotational inertia for cylinders  is given as:

                                  I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2} -----(1)

Newton's second law for angular motion is:

                                             ∑τ = Iα ------(2)

For linear motion in horizontal direction it is:

                                             ∑Fₓ = Maₓ ------ (3)

By definition of torque:

                                               τ  = RF --------(4)        

Put (4) and (1) in (2)

                                       RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha

                                       RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha

from Fig 3 it can be seen that fs is force by which the cylinders roll without slipping as they oscillate

So above equation becomes

                                   f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}MR\alpha------ (5)

As angular acceleration is related to linear by:

                                          a= R\alpha

Eq (5) becomes

                                    f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x}---- (6)

aₓ shows displacement in horizontal direction

From (3)

                                              ∑Fₓ = Maₓ

Fₓ is sum of fs and restoring force that spring exerts:

                                  \sum F_{x} = f_{s} - kx ----(7)

Put (7) in (3)

                                  f_{s} - kx  = Ma_{x}[/tex] -----(8)

Using (6) in (8)

                               \frac{1}{2}Ma_{x} - kx =Ma_{x}

                                     a_{x} = \frac{2k}{3M} x --- (9)

For spring mass system

                                  a= -\omega^{2} x ----- (10)

Equating (9) and (10)

                                  \omega^{2} = \frac{2k}{3M}

\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{3M}}

then (9) becomes

                                a_{x} = - \omega^{2}x

(The minus sign says that x and  aₓ  have opposite directions as shown in fig 3)

This proves that the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic.

<h3 /><h3>B) Time Period</h3>

Time period is related to angular frequency as:

                                   T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega}

                                  T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3M}{2k}

The wavelength of green light is 550 nm.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(a) momentum of photon is 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

    velocity of electron is 1323.88 m/s

   momentum of the electron is 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(b) momentum of photon is 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

  velocity of electron is 1654.85 m/s

  momentum of the electron is 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(c) The momentum of the photon is equal to the momentum of the electron

Explanation:

(a)

wavelength of green light, λ = 550 nm

momentum of photon is given by;

p = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\ p = \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{550*10^{-9}}\\\\p = 1.205 *10^{-27} \ kg.m/s

velocity of electron is given by;

P = \frac{h}{\lambda} \\\\mv = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\v = \frac{h}{m \lambda}\\\\v =   \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{(9.1*10^{-31} )(550*10^{-9})}\\\\v = 1323.88 \ m/s

momentum of the electron is given by;

p = mv

p = (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) (1323.88)

p = 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(b)

wavelength of red light, λ = 440 nm

momentum of photon is given by;

p = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\ p = \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{440*10^{-9}}\\\\p = 1.506 *10^{-27} \ kg.m/s

velocity of electron is given by;

v =   \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{(9.1*10^{-31} )(440*10^{-9})}\\\\v = 1654.85 \ m/s

momentum of the electron is given by;

p = mv

p =  (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) (1654.85)

p = 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(c) The momentum of the photon is equal to the momentum of the electron.

On Ramesh’s13th birthday, his father invited all his friends and their relatives. It was a big party with lots of food and DJs.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The first fact to understand which carries the most weight is we share this small world. We all have such similar characteristics that if you listed them all in one column and then list traits that make each person an absolute individual, one of the lists would be liken to an encyclopedia where as the other more akin to a doodle on a napkin in comparison. Now to the question.

Explanation:

We all know inherently the rules, so to say. yes its acceptable to do as people do normally. to go outside those bounds on purpose to be a nuisance intentionally is not. like 3am loud pounding music or downright disrespect is not acceptable. because when its done that way, since we all know the unspoken rules, its is being done on purpose to annoy.
