Is constant velocity same as constant acceleration?

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

constant velocity means zero acceleration because acceleration is rate of change of velocity. So when velocity remains constant there would be no acceleration.

in case of constant acceleration it means that velocity changes but with some consistent (same) amount each time. For example some object falling from tower, Velocity of the object will change(increases) by 9.8m/s for each second due to gravity of Earth. In this case there is change in velocity each second but with some consistent amount that is 9.8m/s.

No they are very different and are even measured in different units. Velocity is usually defined as “the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.”
Hope this helps. Have a good day.

How the behavior of waves is affected by a medium

Schach [20]

The medium determines the speed of the wave traveling in it, which also can have a number of other effects, including how much the wave bends (refracts), whether it reflects, etc.
Because waves move through space, they must have a velocity. The velocity of a wave is a function of the type of wave, and the medium it travels through. Electromagnetic waves moving through a vacuum, for instance, travel at roughly 3 x

m/s. This value is so famous and common in physics it is given its own symbol, c.

Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energy U(r) of the object-earth system as a function of the object's distan

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Emr^2}{2R^3_E}$

Explanation:

We are given that

Gravitational force= $F_g=\frac{Gm_Emr}{R^3_E}$

r=0,U(0)=0

We know that

Gravitational potential energy= $-\int F_gdr$

$U(r)=-\int\frac{Gm_Emr}{R^3_E}dr$

$U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Em}{R^3_E}\times \frac{r^2}{2}+C$

Substitute r=0 ,U(0)=0

$0=0+C$

$C=0$

Substitute the value

$U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Emr^2}{2R^3_E}$

Light shined through a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern. Green light (565 nm) is shined on a slit with width 0.210

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:(a)9.685 mm

(b)4.184 mm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light $(\lambda )=565nm \approx 565\times 10^{-9}m$

Width of slit(b)=0.210

(a)Width of central maximum located 1.80m from slit

$=\frac{2\lambda L}{b}$

$=\frac{2\times 565\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.210\times 10^{-3}}$

=9.685 mm

(b)Width of the first order bright fringe

$Y_1=\frac{\lambda \times L}{b}$

$Y_1=\frac{565\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.210\times 10^{-3}}$

$Y_1=4.84mm$

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!

Elan Coil [88]

The spring constant is 181.0 N/m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the elastic potential energy initially stored in the compressed spring is completely converted into gravitational potential energy of the dart when the dart is at its maximum height. Therefore, we can write:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh$

where the term on the left represents the elastic potential energy of the spring while the term on the right is the gravitational potential energy of the dart at maximum height, and where

k is the spring constant of the spring

x = 2.08 cm = 0.0208 m is the compression of the spring

m = 12.3 g = 0.00123 kg is the mass of the dart

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity
