Using the principle of the conservation of energy, calculate the maximum speed of a ball of 5.0kg that has been dropped from a height of 20m. (Given that the gravitational field strength is equal to 9.8N/kg)

Answer: 20ms-1The gravitational potential energy before the ball is dropped is equal to mgh. This gives the ball a maximum gravitational potential energy of 5.0kg * 9.8N/kg 20m which is equ...

Given that a light ray enters a glass prism at angle of 50 degrees from the normal and is refracted to an angle of 30 degrees from the normal, calculate the speed of light in glass.

Answer: 1.96108ms-1.Snell's law tells us that n1sin(x1)= n2 sin(x2) where x is the angle of a light ray from the normal. Air can be as...

A right angled triangle has two short sides of lengths 5cm and 12cm respectively. What is the length of the third side?

13cm. Using Pythagoras theorem a^2 +b^2 =c^2 we substitute our two known lengths into the equation to get 5^2 + 12^2=c^2.
So now we have c^2= 25+144. So c^2 =169. So c=√169 = 13. Don't forget the un...
