What is the acceleration of a 50kg object that has been given a 20N push?

Physics

As long as the 20N force <em>keeps</em> pushing, its acceleration is 50/20 = 2.5 m/s² .

But as soon as the force <em>stops</em> pushing, the object stops accelerating.
It continues on from there at constant speed in a straight line.

Light of wavelength 480 nm illuminates a pair of slits separated by 0.27 mm. If a screen is place 1.7 m from the slits, determin
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

  Δy = 6.05 mm

Explanation:

The double slit phenomenon is described by the expression

      d sin θ = m λ                constructive interference

      d sin θ = (m + ½) λ       destructive interference

      m = 0,±1, ±2, ...

As they tell us that they measure the dark stripes, we are in a case of destructive interference, let's use trigonometry to find the sins tea

      tan θ = y / x

      y = x tan θ

In the interference experiments the measured angle is very small so we can approximate the tangent

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

     cos θ = 1

     tan θ = sin θ

     y = x sin θ

We substitute in the destructive interference equation

     d (y / x) = (m + ½) λ

    y = (m + ½) λ x / d

The first dark strip occurs for m = 0 and the third dark strip for m = 2. Let's find the distance for these and subtract it

 m = 0

      y₀ = (0+ ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

      y₀ = 1.511 10⁻³ m

 m = 2

     y₂ = (2 + ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

     y₂ = 7.556 10⁻³ m

The separation between these strips is Δy

     Δy = y₂-y₀

     Δy = (7.556 - 1.511) 10⁻³

     Δy = 6.045 10⁻³ m

     Δy = 6.05 mm

A water bottle is dropped from a plane and accelerates because of gravity. What distance did it fall during 3 seconds?
exis [7]
It’d fall 29.4m or 96.46ft

Explanation:
Uhh since gravity is 9.8m/s then in three seconds it’d drop 29.4m or 96.46ft
That is assuming there isn’t a lot of wind resistance, but if you take that into account, then it’d probably be somewhere around 25m since the water bottle is going to be heavier than the wind resistance, and since we don’t know the weight of the water bottle it can’t really be calculated.

Hope this helps!

exis [7]

v2 = ?

m1 = 10kg

m2 = 70kg

v1 = 4m/s

E1 = E2

E1 = 1/2 * m1 * v1^2 = 1/2 * 10kg * 4m/s^2 = 80J

E2 = 1/2 * m2 * v2^2 = 80 J

v2 = √(E2/(2 * m2)) = √(80J/(2 * 70kg)) = about 0.76m/s

The height of the upper falls at Yellowstone Falls is 33 m. When the water reaches the bottom of the falls, its speed is 26 m/s.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Speed of water at the top of fall = 5.40 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

Here final velocity, v = 26 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity

a=9.8m/s^2 \\

displacement, s = 33 m

Substituting

26^2=u^2+2\times 9.8 \times 33\\\\u^2=29.2\\\\u=5.40m/s \\

Speed of water at the top of fall = 5.40 m/s
