Answer

When you are riding in a coaster car that is traveling at a constant speed, you only feel the downward force of gravity. But as the car speeds up or slows down, you feel pressed against your seat or the restraining bar. You feel this force because your inertia is separate from that of the coaster car.

Laser light however contains only one wavelength. This property makes lasers monochromatic, meaning of one color. Another property of lasers is that all the wavelengths are in phase, meaning they wave together. This property is called coherency. Laser light travels in the same direction, parallel to one another.

James accelerates his skate board uniformly along a straight road from rest to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is James Acceleration?
lawyer [7]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

v(final velocity)= 10 m/s

t= 4 sec

Now we know that

v= u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

t is the time measured in sec

10=0+ax4

a=10/4

a=2.5 m/s^2
