Answer:

The net force on the box is 2 N to the left.

The box will move to the left.

The acceleration on the box is 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.

Explanation:

Let's say movement to the right is positive and left is negative.

Bob: +10 N

John: -12 N

Add those together and you get a net force of -2 N, and the negative sign means that the box is moving to the left.

For the acceleration:

Fnet = ma

-2 = (4 kg)a

a = -0.5 m/s^2

Again, the negative sign in this answer means the box is being accelerated to the left.

A mass of 0.54 kg attached to a vertical spring stretches the spring 36 cm from its original equilibrium position. The accelerat
UNO [17]
<h2>Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

We have for a spring

            Force =  Spring constant x Elongation

            F = kx

Here force is weight of mass

           F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N

Elongation, x  = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Substituting

           F = kx

           5.3 = k x 0.36

             k = 14.72 N/m

Spring constant is 14.72 N/m

A parallel-plate capacitor has area A and plate separation d, and it is charged to voltage V. Use the formulas from the problem
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

Explanation:

Where C= capacitance of the capacitor

ε0= permittivity of free space

A= cross sectional area of plates

d= distance between the plates

V= potential difference

First, the capacitance of a capacitor is obtained by:

C = ε0A/d.

Starting at the formula , U= (CV^2)/2. Formula for energy stored in a capacitor

Substitute in for C:

U = (ε0A/d) * V^2 / 2

Hence:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident perpendicularly from air on a film 10-4cm thick and of refractive index 1.375. Part of th
Marysya12 [62]

Answer

given,

wavelength (λ)= 500 n m

thickness of film= 10⁻⁴ cm

refractive index = μ = 1.375

distance traveled is double which is equal to 2 x 10⁻⁴ cm

a) Number of wave

     N = \dfrac{d}{\mu\lambda}

     N = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{1.375\times 500 \times 10^{-9}}

           N = 2.91

           N = 3

b) phase difference is equal to

Reflection from the first surface has a 180° (½λ) phase change.

There is no phase change for the 2nd surface reflection and there is no phase difference for the 2nd wave having traveled an exact whole number of waves.

net phase difference = 180^0\times \dfrac{3}{2}

                                   = 270°
