If cast iron is such a hard metal why dont the military use cast iron to armor their tanks? Is it cuz cast iron is such a heavy

metal that itll make the tank slow? Or is there not enough of cast iron on earth?

Weight is a really important factor in military applications. tanks need light durable and these days intelligent armour systems. most armoured personel carriers only have aluminium walls. Tanks these days have reactive armour and laser systems to neutralise incomming threats, rather than just relying on heavy armour.

What will happen if a car experiences a 300 N force to the right from the engine and a separate 150 N force due to friction and
gayaneshka [121]

Force applied on the car due to engine is given as

F_1 = 300 N towards right

Also there is a force on the car towards left due to air drag

F_2 = 150 N towards left

now the net force on the car will be given as

\vec F_{net} = \vec F_1 + \vec F_2

now we can say that since the two forces are here opposite in direction so here the vector sum of two forces will be the algebraic difference of the two forces.

So we can say

F_{net} = F_1 - F_2

F_{net} = 300 - 150

F_[net} = 150 N

So here net force on the car will be 150 N towards right and hence it will accelerate due to same force.

On a smooth horizontal floor, an object slides into a spring which is attached to another mass that is initially stationary. Whe
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

E) momentum and mechanical energy

Explanation:

In the context, an object is attached to the another mass with a spring which is initially at a rest position. Now when the spring is compressed, the two masses moves with the same speed. Now since the both the masses combines with the spring to move together they are considered as one system and in this case the momentum and the kinetic energy will be conserved.

The kinetic energy and momentum of the system after collision and the kinetic energy and momentum of the two masses before collision will be constant.

In a double slit experiment, 450 nm light passes through two slits producing an interference pattern where the first bright frin
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

\lambda = wavelength of the light = 450 nm = 450 x 10⁻⁹ m

n = order of the bright fringe = 1

θ = angle = 0.2°

d = separation between the slits

For bright fringe, Using the equation

d Sinθ = n \lambda

Inserting the values

d Sin0.2° = (1) (450 x 10⁻⁹)

d (0.003491) = (450 x 10⁻⁹)

d = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m
