The two properties of the leaf that allow it to be affected by air resistance include its distance from the ground and its mass.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is a scalar quantity that measures the inertia of a given body and/or object, which represent one of the most important characteristics of the matter.

This measurement (mass) may affect the flight of an object because mass inertia is associated with gravity and does not allow its movement.

In conclusion, the two properties of the leaf that allow it to be affected by air resistance include its distance from the ground and its mass.

A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region
Annette [7]

Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.

Explanation: <u>Z-score</u> is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.

The z-score is calculated by the following:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

where

x is the data point

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation

For the <u>northern</u> <u>region</u> birds:

μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

z=\frac{13-10}{3}

z = 1

The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation <em>above the mean</em>.

For the southern region:

μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

z=\frac{13-16}{2.5}

z = -1.2

The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations <em>below the mean</em>.

A golf club exerts an average horizontal force of 1000 n on a 0.045 -kg golf ball that is initially at rest on the tee. the club
OlgaM077 [116]
The impulse (the variation of momentum of the ball) is related to the force applied by
\Delta p = F \Delta t
where \Delta p is the variation of momentum, F is the intensity of the force and \Delta t is the time of application of the force. 
Using F=1000 N and \Delta t = 1.8 ms=1.8 \cdot 10^{-3}s, we can find the variation of momentum:
\Delta p = (1000 N)(1.8 \cdot 10^{-3} s)=1.8 kg m/s

This \Delta p can be rewritten as
\Delta p = p_f - p_i = mv_f - mv_i
where p_f and p_i are the final and initial momentum. But the ball is initially at rest, so the initial momentum is zero, and
\Delta p = mv_f
from which we find the final velocity of the ball:
v_f =  \frac{\Delta p }{m}= \frac{1.8 kg m/s}{0.045 kg}=  40 m/s

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ=620nm from a distant source passes through a slit 0.450 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The intensity of light from the 1mm from the central maximu is  I = 0.822I_o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                         The wavelength is \lambda = 620 nm = 620 *10^{-9}m

                         The width of the slit is w = 0.450mm = \frac{0.45}{1000} = 0.45*10^{-3} m  

                          The distance from the screen is  D = 3.00m

                           The intensity at the central maximum is I_o

                          The distance from the central maximum is d_1 = 1.00mm = \frac{1}{1000} = 1.0*10^{-3}m

        Let z be the the distance of a point with intensity I from central maximum

Then we can represent this intensity as

                     I = I_o [\frac{sin [\frac{\pi * w * sin (\theta )}{\lambda} ]}{\frac{\pi * w * sin (\theta )}{\lambda } } ]^2

    Now the relationship between D and z can be represented using the SOHCAHTOA rule i.e

            sin \theta = \frac{z}{D}

           

if the angle between the the light at z and the central maximum is small

Then  sin \theta =  \theta

   Which implies that

              \theta = \frac{z}{D}

substituting this into the equation for the intensity

             I = I_o [\frac{sin [\frac{\pi w}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{z}{D}  ]}{\frac{\pi w z}{\lambda D\frac{x}{y} } } ]

given that z =1mm = 1*10^{-3}m

   We have that

              I = I_o [\frac{sin[\frac{3.142 * 0.45*10^{-3}}{(620 *10^{-9})} \cdot \frac{1*10^{-3}}{3} ]}{\frac{3.142 * 0.45*10^{-3}*1*10^{-3} }{620*10^{-9} *3} } ]^2

                 =I_o [\frac{sin(0.760)}{0.760}] ^2

                 I = 0.822I_o
