Answer:

4.56 seconds

63.25 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to stop

u = Initial velocity = 60 km/h = 100 km/h = 100000/3600 = 27.78 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -6.1 m/s²

Time taken by the car to stop

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-27.78}{-6.1}\\\Rightarrow t=4.56\ s

Time taken by the car to stop is 4.56 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=27.78\times 4.56+\frac{1}{2}\times -6.1\times 4.56^2\\\Rightarrow s=63.25\ m

The total stopping distance would be 63.25 m

Using a 683 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.1 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen t
n200080 [17]

Answer:

10.2 m

Explanation:

The position of the dark fringes (destructive interference) formed on a distant screen in the interference pattern produced by diffraction from a single slit are given by the formula:

y=\frac{\lambda (m+\frac{1}{2})D}{d}

where

y is the position of the m-th minimum

m is the order of the minimum

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

\lambda is the wavelength of the light used

In this problem we have:

\lambda=683 nm = 683\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the light

d=1.1 mm = 0.0011 m is the width of the slit

m = 13 is the order of the minimum

y=8.57 cm = 0.0857 m is the distance of the 13th dark fringe from the central maximum

Solving for D, we find the distance of the screen from the slit:

D=\frac{yd}{\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})}=\frac{(0.0857)(0.0011)}{(683\cdot 10^{-9})(13+\frac{1}{2})}=10.2 m

Which statements accurately describe electronic tools? Check all that apply.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Electronic tools provide accurate data

Explanation:

The sentence "Electronic tools provide accurate data analysis" is the only correct of all the options shown, because it is the only sentence that describes a characteristic present in all the electronic tools. The other options are not all electronic tools, but each option represents a type of electronic tool, depending on the time and technology used to build the tool.
