Answer:

potential energy is a stored energy or energy of position (gravitational).

Kinetic energy is a energy of motion.

Explanation:

in the formula K is for the kinetic and the P stand for the potential.

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

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

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

$Y_1=4.84mm$

Difference between reproducibility and replicability

victus00 [196]

Suppose you are doing an experiment where you determine the value of one parameter, say density of a liquid. You have two methods in doing this. By finding the mass and volume, and by using a densitometer. Reproducibility is when you get the same value of density for both methods. Replicability is when you have similar results in one method. So, replicability is a measure of precision, while reproducibility is a measure of accuracy.

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = $47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2$

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

$E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

$E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$

Now, plug in $47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2$ for 'σ' and $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$ for $\epsilon_0$ and solve for the electric field. This gives,

$E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C$

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later, it returns to its point of release. The bal

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is <u>39.2 m/s in the upward direction.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Upward direction is positive. So, downward direction is negative.

Tota time the ball remains in air (t) = 8.0 s

Net displacement of the ball (S) = Final position - Initial position = 0 m

Acceleration of the ball is due to gravity. So, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$ (Acting down)

Now, let the initial velocity be 'u' m/s.

From Newton's equation of motion, we have:

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

$0=8u-0.5\times 9.8\times 8^2\\\\8u=4.9\times 64\\\\u=\frac{4.9\times 64}{8}\\\\u=4.9\times 8=39.2\ m/s$

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.
