Answer: D. The force and displacement are in the same direction.

Explanation:

The Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path with distance $d$ .

Work is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy).

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$ (1)

When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it $\alpha$ . In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:

$W=Fdcos{\alpha}$ (2)

When the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, $\alpha=90\°$ and no work is done.

A rolling ball has an initial velocity of 1.6 meters per second. if the ball has a constant acceleration of 0.33 meters per seco

lukranit [14]

We have:

Initial velocity (u) = 1.6 m/s
Constant acceleration (a) = 0.33 m/s²
Time (t) = 3.6 sec

There are five constant acceleration equations that would help us to find the velocity:

$v=u+at$
$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2}at^2$
$s= \frac{1}{2}(u+v)t$
$v^2=u^2+2as$
$s=vt- \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Since we have $u, a, t$ and we want $v$
We will use the first formula $v=u+at$

$v=1.6+(0.33)(3.6)$
$v= 2.788$ m/s

5.610^-26 m is closest to the wavelength of the light.

E=K.E - Work function

hc/λ=1.10-4.65

hc/λ=3.50

λ=hc/3.50

λ=6.626×10 −34J⋅s×3×10^8

λ=5.610^-26 m

Because the relationship between wave frequency and wavelength is inverse, gamma rays have extremely short wavelengths that are only a fraction of the size of atoms, whereas other wavelengths can reach as far as the universe. Regardless of the medium they travel through, electromagnetic radiation's wavelengths are typically expressed in terms of the vacuum wavelength, even though this isn't always stated explicitly.

The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation affects its behavior. The speed of light is equal to wavelength times frequency. Frequency multiplied by the Planck constant equals energy. 1/wavelength is the wave number in cm. Along with the wavelengths of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, a rough estimation of the wavelength size is displayed.

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s^2. What length of pendulum has a period of 1.0 s on Earth? What length of pendulum

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Free fall acceleration on mars $g_{m}=3.7\ m/s^2$

Time Period of pendulum on earth $T=1\ s$

Time period of Pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

for earth

$1=2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}$

$L=\frac{9.8}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L=0.498\ m$

(b)For same time period on mars length is given by

$L'=\frac{g_m}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L'=\frac{3.7}{39.48}$

$L'=0.0936\ m$

$L'=9.36\ cm$

What primary element of light helps the observer see three-dimensions?

elixir [45]

Shading. When light hits an opaque surface some is absorbed, the rest is reflected, The reflected light is called shading. Reflection is not simple and varies with material. The surface’s structure defines the details of reflection. Variations produce anything from bright specular reflection
