Answer:

A. The force exerted by the sprinter must be  9.6 × 10² N.

B. The force that propels the sprinter is exerted by the blocks.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s begin with part B:

The sprinter exerts a force on the blocks and, as a reaction, the blocks exert a force on the sprinter that is of equal magnitude but opposite direction (Newton´s third law). This reaction of the blocks causes the acceleration of the sprinter.

Part A

The force exerted by the blocks can be calculated using Newton´s second law:

F = m · a

Where:

F = exerted force.

m = mass of the object being accelerated.

a = acceleration of the object after applying the force on the object.

F = m · a

F = 64 kg · 15 m/s²

F = 9.6 × 10² N

Answer:

a. λ = 647.2 nm

b. I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Given:

β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m

a.

The wavelength of the radiation can be find using

β = 2 π / γ * sin θ

λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β

λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad

λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m  ⇒  λ = 647.2 nm

b.

The intensity of the central maximum I₀

I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²

I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²

I = I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

What is displacement
saveliy_v [14]
This is what wiki says hope it helps
A displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P.[1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of an imaginary motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point.

A displacement may be also described as a 'relative position': the final position of a point (Sf) relative to its initial position (Si), and a displacement vector can be mathematically defined as the difference between the final and initial position vectors:

Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy?.
labwork [276]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy an object has because of its motion. A ball held in the air, for example, has gravitational potential energy. If released, as the ball moves faster and faster toward the ground, the force of gravity will transfer the potential energy to kinetic energy.

Explanation:

there hope this helps

Prove for N/C=Volt/m
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

simple, Volt =change in potential energy/Charge

the unit of energy is newton meter (Force*distance)

the unit of charge is coloumb

So, Volt/meter=newton* meter/coloumb*meter

=newton/coloumb (hence proved)

This unit is the potential drop per unit of length in a conductive wire with uniform resistance
