We apply the following equation

T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)

Where g is the gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

L is the longitude of the pendulum (Height of the tower)

T is the period. (T = 18s)

We find L.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g

L = g*(T /2π)^2...........> L = 80.428 meters

Car a runs a red light and broadsides car b, which is stopped and waiting to make a left turn. car a has a mass of 1,800kg. car

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is conserved, therefore total initial momentum should be equal to total final momentum. In this case, we can expressed this mathematically as:

mA vA + mB vB = m v

where, m is the mass in kg, v is the velocity in m/s

since m is the total mass, m = mA + mB, we can write the equation as:

mA vA + mB vB = (mA + mB) v

furthermore, car B was at a stop signal therefore vB = 0, hence

mA vA + 0 = (mA + mB) v

1800 (vA) = (1800 + 1500) (7.1 m/s)

<span>vA = 13.02 m/s</span>

What is the approximate wavelength of a light whose first-order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 45.0° when it passes
sp2606 [1]
** Missing info: Lines per mm = 500 **

Ans: The wavelength is =  λ = 1414.21 nm

Explanation:
The formula for diffraction grading is:

dsinθ = mλ --- (1)

Where
d = 1/lines-per-meter = (1/500)*10^-3 = 2 * 10^-6
m = order = 1
λ = wavelength
θ = 45°

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => 2*10^-6*sin(45°) = (1)λ
=> λ = 1414.21 nm
