Answer:
Look at explanation
Explanation:
a) Kinetic energy= ΔW. W=Fd, and since in both scenarios the same force and same distance is travelled. K1=K2. I am assuming that the objects are at non zero height so by P=mgh, P1>P2
b. Again I am assuming that the objects are at non zero height so by P=mgh, P1>P2. A heavier mass, a constant force means a smaller acceleration. So a1<a2. We can then use x-x0=v0t+1/2at² and since v0=0, x-x0(d)=1/2at². Solve for t²=2d/a. Since t is the same for both but a1<a2, d1<d2. And since Kinetic Energy=ΔW, W=Fd and F is constant while d1<d2, K1<K2.
According to the question,
Potential energy be "P".Kinetic energy be "K".(a)
Word done towards both the block will be similar.
So,
→ [tex]P1 = P2[/tex]
→ [tex]K1= K2[/tex]
(b)
We know,
→ [tex]a = \frac{F}{M}[/tex]
or,
→ [tex]V = a\times t[/tex]
Now,
→ [tex]K = \frac{1}{2} MV^2[/tex]
[tex]= 0.5\times M\times V^2[/tex]
[tex]=0.5\times M\times (\frac{F^2}{M^2} )\times t^2[/tex]
[tex]= 0.5\times F^2\times \frac{t^2}{M}[/tex]
The force and t will be same. So K of the smaller mass will be greater than the larger mass.
hence,
→ [tex]K1<K2[/tex]
Thus the above responses are correct.

The car has a mass of 0·50 kg. The boy
now increases the speed of the car to 6·0
ms-1 . The total radial friction between
the car and the track has a maximum
value of 7.0 N. Show by calculation that
the car cannot continue to travel in the circular path.
Answer:
A solenoid is a type of electromagnet, the purpose of which is to generate a controlled magnetic field through a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. The coil can be arranged to produce a uniform magnetic field in a volume of space when an electric current is passed through it.
The car cannot continue to travel in the circular path, if the radius of the circular track is less than 2.57 m.
What is meant by centripetal force ?Centripetal force is described as the force applied to a body that is travelling in a circular motion and is pointed in the direction towards the center of the circular path.
Here,
Mass of the car, m = 0.5 kg
Velocity of the car, v = 6 m/s
Radial friction between the car and the track, f = 7 N
The necessary centripetal force for the car to execute the circular motion is provided by the maximum radial frictional force between the car and the track.
So, the condition that the car cannot continue to travel in the circular path is that the centripetal force required is greater than the maximum radial friction.
So,
mv²/r > f
0.5 x 6²/r > 7
Therefore, the radius of the circular track,
r < 18/7
r < 2.57 m
Hence,
The car cannot continue to travel in the circular path, if the radius of the circular track is less than 2.57 m.

A 69.0-kg astronaut is floating in space, luckily he has his trusty 28.0-kg physics book. He throws his physics book and accelerates at 0.0130 m/s2 in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the physics book?
Answer:
0.032 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given :
Weight of the astronaut = 69 kg
Weight of the physics book = 28 kg
Acceleration of the astronaut = 0.0130 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
The force that is applied on the astronaut :
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
[tex]$=69 \times 0.013$[/tex]
= 0.897 N
Therefore, by Newton's 3rd law, we know that the force applied on the physics book is also F = 0.897 N
Therefore, the acceleration of the physics book is given by :
[tex]$a = \frac{\text{Force on physics book}}{\text{mass of physics book}}$[/tex]
[tex]$a = \frac{0.897}{28}$[/tex]
a = 0.032 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
Hence, the acceleration of the physics book is 0.032 [tex]m/s^2[/tex].
Answer:
The acceleration of astronaut is 5.27 x 10^-3 m/s^2.
Explanation:
mass of astronaut, M = 69 kg
Mass of book, m = 28 kg
acceleration of book, a = 0.013 m/s^2
Let the acceleration of astronaut is A.
According to the Newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So, the force acting on the book is same as the force acting on the astronaut but the direction is opposite to each other.
M A = m a
69 x A = 28 x 0.013
A = 5.27 x 10^-3 m/s^2

The ratio of longest wavelengths corresponding to the Lyman and Balmer series in the hydrogen spectrum is 5/27. The correct option is 3.
What is Lyman and Balmer series?
Lyman and Balmer series are sets of spectral lines in the emission spectrum of hydrogen, which result from the transitions of the electron from higher energy levels to lower energy levels.
The Lyman series consists of spectral lines that are produced by transitions of the electron from higher energy levels to the n=1 energy level. These transitions release energy in the form of ultraviolet photons. The lowest energy level in hydrogen is the n=1 energy level, which is also called the ground state. Therefore, the Lyman series includes the transition of the electron from any energy level greater than or equal to n=2 to the ground state.
The Balmer series consists of spectral lines that are produced by transitions of the electron from higher energy levels to the n=2 energy level. These transitions release energy in the form of visible photons. The lowest energy level in the Balmer series is the n=2 energy level. Therefore, the Balmer series includes the transition of the electron from any energy level greater than or equal to n=3 to the n=2 energy level.
Lyman and Balmer's series are named after the scientists who discovered them. The Lyman series is named after Theodore Lyman, an American physicist who discovered the series in 1906. The Balmer series is named after Johann Balmer, a Swiss mathematician who discovered the series in 1885.
Here in the Question,
The longest wavelength in the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum corresponds to the transition from the n = 2 energy level to the n = 1 energy level, while the longest wavelength in the Balmer series corresponds to the transition from the n = 3 energy level to the n = 2 energy level.
The wavelengths of these transitions can be calculated using the Rydberg formula:
1/λ = R(1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2)
where λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted, R is the Rydberg constant (1.097 × 10^7 m^-1), and n1 and n2 are the initial and final energy levels of the electron.
For the longest wavelength in the Lyman series, we have n1 = 2 and n2 = 1, so:
1/λ_lyman = R(1/2^2 - 1/1^2) = 3R/4
For the longest wavelength in the Balmer series, we have n1 = 3 and n2 = 2, so:
1/λ_balmer = R(1/3^2 - 1/2^2) = 5R/36
Therefore, the ratio of the longest wavelengths in the Lyman and Balmer series is:
λ_lyman/λ_balmer = (3R/4)/(5R/36) = 27/20
Simplifying this ratio gives:
λ_lyman/λ_balmer = 27/20
Multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 1/3R, we get:
λ_lyman/λ_balmer = (1/2)/(1/3) = 3/2
Therefore, the ratio of the longest wavelengths in the Lyman and Balmer series is 3:2, or 3/5 in fractional form. Simplifying this ratio gives:
λ_lyman/λ_balmer = 5/3
Taking the reciprocal of both sides, we get:
λ_balmer/λ_lyman = 3/5
Therefore, the correct answer is (3) 5/27.

If the horizontal range and the max height of a body projected at an angle titre to the horizontal is K and Q respectively. Show that the muzzle velocity Vo is given by: Vo=√[2gQ + K²/8Q]
Explanation:
Recall that
[tex]K = \dfrac{v_0^2\sin2\theta}{g}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)[/tex]
and
[tex]Q = \dfrac{v_0^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(2)[/tex]
From Eqn(2), we can write
[tex]\sin\theta = \sqrt{\dfrac{2gQ}{v_0^2}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(3)[/tex]
Using the identity [tex]\sin\theta = 2\sin\theta \cos\theta[/tex], we can rewrite Eqn(1) as
[tex]\dfrac{gK}{2v_0^2} = \sin\theta \cos\theta[/tex]
Squaring the above equation, we get
[tex]\dfrac{g^2K^2}{4v_0^4} = \sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\sin^2\theta(1 - \sin^2\theta)\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(4)[/tex]
Use Eqn(3) on Eqn(4) and we will get the following:
[tex]\dfrac{g^2K^2}{4v_0^4} = \dfrac{2gQ}{v_0^2}(1 - \dfrac{2gQ}{v_0^2})[/tex]
This simplifies to
[tex]\dfrac{gK^2}{8v_0^2Q} = 1 - \dfrac{2gQ}{v_0^2}[/tex]
Rearranging this further, we get
[tex]1 = \dfrac{2gQ}{v_0^2} + \dfrac{gK^2}{8v_0^2Q}[/tex]
Putting [tex]v_0^2[/tex] to the left side, we get
[tex]v_0^2 = 2qQ + \dfrac{gK^2}{8Q}[/tex]
Finally, taking the square root of the equation above, we get the expression for the muzzle velocity [tex]v_0[/tex] as
[tex]v_0 = \sqrt{2gQ + \dfrac{gK^2}{8Q}}[/tex]

ii. [tex]a = 2.45\:\text{m/s}^2[/tex]
iii. [tex]x = 1.23\:\text{m}[/tex]
Explanation:
Let's write Newton's 2nd law for each object. We will use the sign convention assigned for each as indicated in the figure. Let T be the tension on the string and assume that the string is inextensible so that the two tensions on the strings are equal. Also, let a be the acceleration of the two masses. And [tex]m_1 = 3\:\text{kg}[/tex] and [tex]m_2 = 5\:\text{kg}[/tex]

Combining Eqn(1) and Eqn(2) together, the tensions will cancel out, giving us
[tex]m_2g - m_1g = m_2a + m_1a[/tex]
or
[tex](m_2 - m_1)g = (m2 + m_1)a[/tex]
Solving for a,
[tex]a = \left(\dfrac{m_2 - m_1}{m_2 + m_1}\right)g[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:= 2.45\:\text{m/s}^2[/tex]
We can solve for the tension by using this value of acceleration on either Eqn(1) or Eqn(2). Let's use Eqn(1).
[tex]T - (3\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2) = (3\:\text{kg})(2.45\:\text{m/s}^2)[/tex]

A 1.50 kg book is sliding along a rough horizontal surface. At point A it is moving at 3.21 m/s , and at point B it has slowed to 1.25 m/s .
Part A
How much work was done on the book between A and B ?
Part B
If -0.750J of work is done on the book from B to C , how fast is it moving at point C ?
Part C
How fast would it be moving at C if 0.750J of work were done on it from B to C ?
I assume friction is the only force acting on the book as it slides.
(A) By the work-energy theorem, the total work performed on the book as it slides is equal to the change in its kinetic energy:
W = ∆K
W = 1/2 (1.50 kg) (1.25 m/s)² - 1/2 (1.50 kg) (3.21 m/s)²
W ≈ -6.56 J
(B) Using the work-energy theorem again, the speed v of the book at point C is such that
-0.750 J = 1/2 (1.50 kg) v ² - 1/2 (1.50 kg) (1.25 m/s)²
==> v = 0.750 m/s
(C) Take the left side to be positive, then solve again for v.
0.750 J = 1/2 (1.50 kg) v ² - 1/2 (1.50 kg) (1.25 m/s)²
==> v ≈ 1.60 m/s

The distance between the two loud speakers, [tex]d = 1.8 \ m[/tex]
The speaker are in phase and so the path difference is zero constructive interference occurs.
At the point [tex]D[/tex], the speakers are out of phase and so the path difference is [tex]$=\frac{\lambda}{2}$[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]$AD-BD = \frac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]
[tex]$\sqrt{(1.8)^2+(3)^2-3} =\frac{\lambda}{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$\lambda = 2 \times 0.4985$[/tex]
[tex]$\lambda = 0.99714 \ m$[/tex]
Thus the frequency is :
[tex]$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$[/tex]
[tex]$f=\frac{340}{0.99714}$[/tex]
[tex]f=340.9744[/tex] Hz
