Mass m = 25 Kg; Force = Weight = mg Force = ma but a = g

F = 40.8 N

Required: gravity g = ?

F = mg

g = F/m

g = 40.8 N/25 Kg

g = 1.6 m/s²

If an X-ray beam of wavelength 1.4 × 10-10 m makes an angle of 20° with a set of planes in a crystal causing first order constru

Flura [38]

Answer:

43.16°

Explanation:

λ = Wavelength = 1.4×10⁻¹⁰ m

θ₁ = 20°

n can be any integer

d = distance between the two slits

Since for the first bright fringe, n₁ = 1

n₂ = 2 for second order line

The relation between the distance of the slits and the angle through which it is passed is:

dsinθ=nλ

As d and λ are constant

$\frac{n_1\lambda}{sin \theta_1}=\frac{n_2\lambda}{sin \theta_2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{sin20}=\frac{2}{sin\theta_2}\\\Rightarrow sin\theta_2=\frac{2}{\frac{1}{sin20}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=sin^{-1}{\frac{2}{\frac{1}{sin20}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=43.16^{\circ}$

∴ Angle by which the second order line appear is 43.16°

Two ice skaters, Lilly and John, face each other while at rest, and then push against each other's hands. The mass of John is tw

seropon [69]

Answer:

Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

Explanation:

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

The force they apply on each other will be equal

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_l=\frac{F}{m_l}$

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{F}{2m_l}\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{1}{2}a_l$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_l=a_lt$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{2m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}a_lt\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}v_l\\\Rightarrow v_l=2v_j$

Hence, Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

The density is 1.5 g/cm^3. the mass is 1500. what is the volume

Naddik [55]

The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume. In this case however we are searching for the volume and must rearrange the formula so that we are solving for the volume. If you multiply both sides by volume and then divide both sides by mass you end up with the equation Volume = Mass/Density.

Volume = 1500g/1.5g/cm^3
Volume = 1000 cm^3

In moving out of a dormitory at the end of the semester, a student does 1.82 x 104 J of work. In the process, his internal energ

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Work done, W = 1.82 x 10^4 J

(b) internal energy, U = - 4.07 x 10^4 J ( as it decreases)

(c) According to the first law of thermodynamics

Q = W + U

Q = 1.82 x 10^4 - 4.07 x 10^4

Q = - 2.25 x 10^4 J
