<h2>Answer:</h2>

24m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Consider one of the equations of motion as follows;

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at²            ----------------------------(i)

Where;

s = vertical/horizontal displacement of the body in motion

u = initial vertical/horizontal displacement of the body

t = time taken for the displacement

a = vertical/horizontal acceleration of the body.

Now, since the particle being considered moves in an xy-coordinate system, then equation (i) above can be resolved into the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) components as follows;

<u>Horizontal (x-coordinate) component</u>

s_{x} = u_{x} t + \frac{1}{2} a_{x}t²     ------------------(ii)

Where;

s_{x} = horizontal displacement (x-coordinate) of the particle in motion

u_{x} = initial horizontal displacement of the particle

t = time taken for the displacement

a_{x} = horizontal (x-direction) acceleration of the body.

<u>Vertical (y-coordinate) component</u>

s_{y} = u_{y} t + \frac{1}{2} a_{y}t²      -------------------(iii)

Where;

s_{y} = vertical displacement (y-coordinate) of the particle in motion

u_{y} = initial vertical displacement of the particle

t = time taken for the displacement

a_{y} = vertical (y-direction) acceleration of the body.

(A) Now, using equation (iii), from the question;

u_{y} = 0              [since the particle starts from rest, initial velocity is zero]

a_{y} = 1m/s²        [acceleration in the y-direction]

s_{y} = 12m           [y-coordinate value]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

12 = 0 t +  \frac{1}{2} (1) t²

12 =   \frac{1}{2} t²          [Multiply through by 2]

24 = t²              [Solve for t]

t = \sqrt{24} seconds

(B) Also, using equation (ii), from the question;

u_{x} = 0              [since the particle starts from rest, initial velocity is zero]

a_{x} = 2m/s²       [acceleration in the x-direction]

s_{x} = ?               [x-coordinate value]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

s_{x} = 0 t +  \frac{1}{2} (2) t²

s_{x} =  t²             -------------------(iv)

But t = \sqrt{24} seconds as calculated above, substitute this value into equation (iv)

s_{x} = (\sqrt{24})²              [Solve for s_{x}]

s_{x} = 24

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the particle when the y-coordinate is 12m is 24m

Answer:

When the y-coordinate is 12m, the x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m

Explanation:

Given;

y - component of acceleration = 1 m/s²

X - component of acceleration = 2 m/s²

distance traveled in y - direction, Dy = 12 m

To determine the distance traveled in X- direction, we obtain the duration of the displacement in y- direction.

Applying equation of motion;

Dy = ¹/₂ x at²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{a}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*12}{1}} = 4.9 s

For distance traveled in x -direction;

Dx = ¹/₂ x at²

Dx = ¹/₂ x 2 x (4.9)² = 24.01 m ≅ 24m

Therefore, when the y-coordinate is 12m, the x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m

Serga [27]

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

v_r = Speed of river

v_c = Speed of canoe

v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s

v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s

Adding the equations we get

2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s

0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

A double-slit experiment uses light of wavelength 650 nm with a slit separation of 0.100 mm and a screen placed 4.0 m away. a) W
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Slit separation d = .1 x 10⁻³ m

Screen distance D = 4 m

wave length of light  λ = 650 x 10⁻⁹ m

Width of central fringe = λ D / d

= \frac{650\times10^{-9}\times4}{.1\times10^{-3}}

= 26 mm

b ) Distance between 1 st and 2 nd bright fringe will be equal to width of dark fringe which will also be equal to 26 mm

c ) Angular separation between the central maximum and 1 st order maximum will be equal to angular width of fringe which is equal to

λ  / d

= \frac{650\times10^{-9}}{.1\times10^{-3}}

= 6.5 x 10⁻³ radian.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

its B

Explanation:

It's B & A at the same time because A. a roller coaster uses brakes to slow down and stop. B is the most reasonable answer. Because all roller coasters go up and over a second time over the hill, but they also slow down. But go with B.
