A car traveling at 27 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 12 seconds. What is its acceleration?

Initial speed = 27 m/s
Final speed = zero

Acceleration = (final speed - initial speed) / (time)

=  (-27 m/s) / (12 s)

=  (-27/12) m/s²

=  - 2.25 m/s²

The width of the central maxima, formed from light of wavelength 575 nm behind a single slit that has a width of 115 μm, is 1.15
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

 L  = 1.15 m

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation

        a sin θ = m λ

Where a is the width of the slit, λ  the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.

The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

          tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ

We substitute in the first equation

           a (y / L) = m λ

The first maximum occurs for m = 1

The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is

         y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm

         y = 0.575 10⁻² m

Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)

       L = a y / λ  

Let's calculate

     L = 115 10⁻⁶  0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹

     L  = 1.15 m

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

1.

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is  the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}

where:

R = resistance of the wire

l = length of the wire

a= cross sectional area of the wire  

from the above relation we observe that

R\propto l

R\propto \frac{1}{a}

  • Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

2.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

3.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.

A system dissipates 12 J of heat into the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the
Stels [109]

Answer:

+16 J

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change of the internal energy of the system

Q is the heat (positive if supplied to the system, negative if dissipated by the system)

W is the work done (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surroundings on the system)

In this case we have:

Q = -12 J is the heat dissipated by the system

W = -28 J is the work done ON the system

Substituting into the equation, we find the change in internal energy of the system:

\Delta U=-12 J-(-28 J)=+16 J
