Which statement best explains how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?

Your list of choices is a very short list, and doesn't include any
correct explanation.

The mass of an atom is roughly the number of protons AND neutrons
in its nucleus, but the element only depends on how many protons are there.

Different atoms of the same element may have different numbers of
neutrons, so their masses are different. But they're the same element,
because they all have the same number of protons.

An apple dropped from the branch of a tree hits the ground in 0.5 s. If the acceleration of the apple during its motion is 10 ms

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Given that,

Time = 0.5 s

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

(I). We need to calculate the speed of apple

Using equation of motion

$v=u+at$

Where, v = speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=0+10\times0.5$

$v=5\ m/s$

(III). We need to calculate the height of the branch of the tree from the ground

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value into the formula

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times10\times(0.5)^2$

$s=1.25\ m$

(II). We need to calculate the average velocity during 0.5 sec

Using formula of average velocity

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{x_{f}-x_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{0}}$

Where, $x_{f}$ = final position

$x_{i}$ = initial position

Put the value into the formula

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{1.25+0}{0.5}$

$v_{avg}=2.5\ m/s$

Hence, (I). The speed of apple is 5 m/s.

(II). The average velocity during 0.5 sec is 2.5 m/s

(III). The height of the branch of the tree from the ground is 1.25 m.

Monochromatic light of wavelength, lambda, is traveling in air. The light then strikes a thin film having an index of refraction

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct option is H

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The index of refraction of coating is $n_1$

The index of refraction of material is $n_2$

Generally the condition for constructive for a thin film interference is mathematically represented

$2 * t = [ m + \frac{1}{2}] \frac{\lambda}{n_1 }$

Here t represents the thickness

For minimum thickness m = 0

So

$2 * t =0 + \frac{1}{2}\frac{\lambda}{n_1 }$

=> $t =\frac{\lambda}{4n_1 }$
