There are two different ways to understand time and these are:
A. What time is it?
B. How much time?
The examples of these two different ways are:
A. What time is it? The best example that would help us understand and know what time are the clock and the calendar. This gives us the exact hour, minutes and seconds. The calendar tells us the exact day, month and year.
B. How much time? This makes us understand how much time did it take from the starting time. An example for this would be a stopwatch.

If one bullet is dropped from a certain height and another is fired from a gun horizontally from the same height which one will

Zinaida [17]

If the ground is flat, and both bullets are released at the same time from the same height, then they both hit the ground at the same time.

The horizontal motion of the one from the gun has no effect on its vertical motion.

Red light of wavelength 630 nm passes through two slits and then onto a screen that is 1.4 m from the slits. The center of the 3

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Part a)

$f = 4.76 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

$d = 3.48 \times 10^{-4} m$

Part c)

$\theta = 0.311 degree$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the speed of light is given as

$c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s$

$\lambda = 630 nm$

now the frequency of the light is given as

$f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$

so we have

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{630 \times 10^{-9}}$

$f = 4.76 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

Position of Nth maximum intensity on the screen is given as

$y_n = \frac{n\lambda L}{d}$

so here we know for 3rd order maximum intensity

$y_3 = 0.76 cm$

n = 3

L = 1.4 m

$0.76 \times 10^{-2} = \frac{3(630 \times 10^{-9})(1.4)}{d}$

$d = 3.48 \times 10^{-4} m$

Part c)

angle of third order maximum is given as

$d sin\theta = 3 \lambda$

$3.48 \times 10^{-4} sin\theta = 3(630 \times 10^{-9})$

$\theta = 0.311 degree$

A large truck is moving 22.0 m/s. If it’s momentum is 125,000 kg • m/s, what is the trucks mass

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

p = mv

m = p/v = 125000/22 = 5682 kg

Explanation:

Direct application of the momentum equation

p = mv

where,

p: momentum

m: mass

v: object velocity

steps:

-------

1) check for units consistency ( SI or Imperial)

2) separate the variable you are looking for.

3) DONE! :DD

The speed of light is 3.0x10^5 km/sec and it takes light 1.3 seconds for light to travel from the moon to earth froim this infor

Vika [28.1K]

The motion of the light is a uniform motion with constant speed $v=3 \cdot 10^5 km/s$ , therefore we can use the basic relationship between speed, space and time:
$v= \frac{S}{t}$ (1)
where S is the distance covered and t is the time taken. The light takes t=1.3 s to travel from the moon to Earth, therefore by rearranging eq.(1) we can find the distance between the Moon and the Earth:
$S=vt=(3 \cdot 10^5 km/s)(1.3 s)=390000 km=3.9 \cdot 10^5 km$

An object is thrown with an initial speed v near the surface of Earth. Assume that air resistance is negligible and the gravitat

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

E. downward and constant

Explanation:

Freefall is a special case of motion with constant acceleration because the acceleration due to gravity is always constant and downward. This is true even when an object is thrown upward or has zero velocity.

For example, when a ball is thrown up in the air, the ball's velocity is initially upward. Since gravity pulls the object toward the earth with a constant acceleration ggg, the magnitude of velocity decreases as the ball approaches maximum height. At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball has zero velocity, and the magnitude of velocity increases again as the ball falls back toward the earth.
