Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s

time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)

Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²

You perform a double‑slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. Yo

BigorU [14]

Answer:

$\lambda = 6.25\times10^{-9}$ = 625 nm

Explanation:

We now that for

for maximum intensity(bright fringe) d sinθ=nλ n=0,1,2,....

d= distance between the slits, λ= wavelength of incident ray

for small θ, sinθ≈tanθ= y/D where y is the distance on screen and D is the distance b/w screen and slits.

Given

d=1.19 mm, y=4.97 cm, and, n=10, D=9.47 m

applying formula

λ= (d*y)/(D*n)

putting values we get

$\lambda = \frac{1.19\times10^{-3}\times4.97\times10^{-2}}{9.47\times10}$

on solving we get

$\lambda = 6.25\times10^{-9}$ = 625 nm

Suppose the initial position of an object is zero, the starting velocity is 3 m/s and the final velocity was 10 m/s. The object

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The area of the rectangle plus the area of the triangle under the line

Explanation:

In this case, the object moves with constant acceleration. Initial speed of the object is 0.

Equation of kinematics :

v = u +at

v = at

v is directly proportional to time. If means that the graph is straight line passing through origin. We know that area under v-t graph gives displacement. So, the correct option is (c).
