Answer:

Velocity is sometimes taken as speed but the rate of change of velocity is termed acceleration.

Explanation:

Velocity:

The rate of displacement of a body is called its velocity.

It's SI unit is metre per second. (ms^-1)

It is a vector quantity.

Acceleration:

The rate of change of velocity of a body is termed acceleration.

Its SI unit is metre per second square. (ms^-2)
It is a vector quantity.

Answer:

You may know that both velocity and acceleration have something to do with how fast an object moves. You’re right, but what’s the difference between these two terms in physics? Keep reading for more information about velocity, acceleration, and how to tell them apart.

To summarize and analyze data with both a crosstabulation and charting, Excel typically pair

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

To summarize and analyze data with both a crosstabulation and charting, Excel typically pair PivotCharts with PivotTables (option b)

Explanation:

Pivot Tables allows us to deal with a high volume of data. This kind of tables are mainly designed to summarize, analyze and explore data in a simple way. Meanwhile, Pivot Charts gives the possibility to visualize the summarizing data provided in PivotTables, enabling the detection of trends, correlations,comparisons and so on. Because of that Pivot tables and pivot charts are usefull and complementary tools of Excel.

Summarizing, the proper option is b.

Blizzard [7]

Complete Question

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced $7.5 * 10^{-3}$ meters apart. However, by placing a piece of crystal in one of the slits, you are able to make it so that the rays of light that travel through the two slits are Ï out of phase with each other (that is to say, Ao,- ). If you observe that on a screen placed 4 meters from the two slits that the distance between the bright spot closest to center of the pattern is 1.5 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser?

Answer:

The wavelength is $\lambda = 56250 nm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of slit separation is $d = 7.5 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance of the screen is $D = 4 \ m$

The distance between the bright spot closest to the center of the interference is $k = 1.5 \ cm = 0.015 \ m$

Generally the width of the central maximum fringe produced is mathematically represented as

$y = 2 * k = \frac{ D * \lambda}{d}$

=> $2 * 0.015 = \frac{ \lambda * 4}{ 7.5 *10^{-3}}$

=> $\lambda = 56250 *10^{-9} \ m$

=> $\lambda = 56250 nm$

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$v_1 = 3.5 \ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the SUV is = 2140 kg

moment of inertia about G , i.e $I_G$ = 875 kg.m²

We know from the conservation of angular momentum that:

$H_1= H_2$

$mv_1 *0.765 = [I+m(0.765^2+0.895^2)] \omega_2$

$2140v_1*0.765 = [875+2140(0.765^2+0.895^2)] \omega_2$

$1637.1 v_1$ $= 3841.575 \omega_2$

$\omega_2 = \frac{1637.1 v_1}{3841.575}$

$\omega _2 = 0.4626 \ v_1$

From the conservation of energy as well;we have :

$T_2 +V_{2 \to 3} = T_3 \\ \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} I_A \omega_2^2 - mgh =0$

$[\frac{1}{2} [875+2140(0.765^2+0.895^2)](0.4262 \ v_1)^2 -2140(9.81)[\sqrt{0.76^2+0.895^2} -0.765]] =0$

$706.93 \ v_1^2 - 8657.49 =0$

$706.93 \ v_1^2 = 8657.49$

$v_1^2 = \frac{8657.49}{706.93 }$

$v_1 ^2 = 12.25$

$v_1 = \sqrt{ 12.25$

$v_1 = 3.5 \ m/s$

An alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) consists of two protons and two neutrons, and has a mass of 6.64 * 10-27 kg. A

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

t = 4.21x10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

The time (t) can be found using the angular velocity (ω):

$\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}$

Where θ: is the angular displacement = π (since it moves halfway through a complete circle)

We have:

$t = \frac{\theta}{\omega} = \frac{\theta}{v/r}$

Where:

v: is the tangential speed

r: is the radius

The radius can be found equaling the magnetic force with the centripetal force:

$qvB = \frac{mv^{2}}{r} \rightarrow r = \frac{mv}{qB}$

Where:

m: is the mass of the alpha particle = 6.64x10⁻²⁷ kg

q: is the charge of the alpha particle = 2*p (proton) = 2*1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

B: is the magnetic field = 0.155 T

Hence, the time is:

$t = \frac{\theta*r}{v} = \frac{\theta}{v}*\frac{mv}{qB} = \frac{\theta m}{qB} = \frac{\pi * 6.64 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}{2*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*0.155 T} = 4.21 \cdot 10^{-7} s$

Therefore, the time that takes for an alpha particle to move halfway through a complete circle is 4.21x10⁻⁷ s.

I hope it helps you!
