A sphere of radius ‘a’ and mass ‘m’ rolls along a horizontal plane with constant speed v0. It encounters and inclined plane at angle θ and climbs upward. Assuming that it rolls without slipping, how far up the sphere will travel?

Using conservation of energy between initial and final position shown :
If the monochromatic source in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by white light, then
If the monochromatic source in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by white light, then
At central point on screen, path difference is zero for all wavelength. So, central bright fringe is white and other fringes depend on wavelength as .
Therefore, other fringes will be coloured.
An engine is attached to a wagon through a shock absorber of length 1.5m. The system with a total mass of 40,000kg is moving with a speed of 75 kmh-1 when the brakes are applied to bring it to rest. In the process of the system being brought to rest, the spring of the shock absorber gets compressed by 1.0m. If 90% of energy of the wagon is lost due to friction, the spring constant is________× 105 N/m.

By work energy theorem
Work done = change in K.E.
Work done by friction work done by spring
As 90% of K.E. is losed by friction so that
-K -> -16 × 105
K = 16 × 105
What will be the power in case of a force acting perpendicular on a body?
What will be the power in case of a force acting perpendicular on a body?
Formula for Power = F·v cos
According to the question, force is perpendicular.
So = 90
and cos 90 = 0
Hence, the result turns out to be 0 i.e. no power generated inspite of force being applied.
What is the exact difference between energy and power?
What is the exact difference between energy and power?
In simple words,
Energy = total work done on an object.
Power = how fast the work is done on an object.
For example: Writing an article vs how fast you write the article. This sums up the exact meaning of both these terms.
Does a higher amount of power always means efficient energy usage?
Does a higher amount of power always means efficient energy usage?
No. Even if the power is higher, the energy can be inefficient. This happens when much of the energy generated gets wasted or isn't utilized as effectively as it should have been. In such cases, high power can still lead to inefficiency of energy.

Can changing the direction of a body also affect it's kinetic energy?
Can changing the direction of a body also affect it's kinetic energy?
No. Since kinetic energy is a scalar quantity, it only depends on speed of the body and not the direction. So if the direction of the body is changed but the speed remains unchanged, there won't be any effect on the kinetic energy. However, if changing the direction also changes the speed of the bod
Why is the value of kinetic energy always positive?
Why is the value of kinetic energy always positive?
If you look closely at the formula of kinetic energy (1/2*m*v^2), the velocity is squared which automatically gives a positive integer. And mass of the body can never be a negative value, which leads to the result being a positive integer.
