It depends. While slowing down acceleration will have negative sign but the velocity depends upon the initial point sonce velocity is a vector quantity if it is going back towards the initial position it will reduce but if it passes the initial position and goes back it will have negative sign....so it totally depends upon the situation.

Hi I need help with this question (see image ). ​
Lapatulllka [165]

Explanation:

a) <em>Fixed points</em> are the temperatures at which a thermometer is calibrated. They can refer either to the actual temperatures used for calibration, or the thermometer readings at those temperatures.

__

b) <em>Fundamental interval</em> is the difference between the fixed points. As with fixed points, it can refer either to the difference in actual temperature, or the difference in the corresponding thermometer readings.

shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at const
Contact [7]

Answer:

a) T=0.40 N

b) T=1.9 s

Explanation:

Let's find the radius of the circumference first. We know that bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m, it means that the perimeter is 0.94 m.

The perimeter of a circunference is:

P=2\pi r=0.94

r=\frac{0.94}{2\pi}=0.15 m

Now, we need to find the angle of the pendulum from vertical.

tan(\alpha)=\frac{r}{L}=\frac{0.15}{0.90}=0.17

\alpha=9.44 ^{\circ}

Let's apply Newton's second law to find the tension.

\sum F=ma_{c}=m\omega^{2}r

We use centripetal acceleration here, because we have a circular motion.

The vertical equation of motion will be:

Tcos(\alpha)=mg (1)

The horizontal equation of motion will be:

Tsin(\alpha)=m\omega^{2}r (2)

a) We can find T usinf the equation (1):

T=\frac {mg}{cos(\alpha)}=\frac{0.04*9.81}{cos(9.44)}=0.40 N

We can find the angular velocity (ω) from the equation (2):

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{Tsin(\alpha)}{mr}}=3.31 rad/s

b) We know that the period is T=2π/ω, therefore:

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{3.31}=1.9 s

I hope it helps you!

Two skiers arrive at the bottom of a ramp travelling at the same speed. Friction may be ignored in this problem. One skier is an
inysia [295]

Answer:

Both will reach to same height

Explanation:

Here we can see that friction is to be ignored

so we can say that work done by all the non conservative forces is change in mechanical energy

Since all non conservative forces here is zero

so mechanical energy is conserved here

so here we can say that sum of initial kinetic energy and potential energy = sum of final kinetic energy and potential energy

So we will have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgH

now maximum height is given as

H = \frac{v^2}{2g}

so here we can say that greatest height will be independent of the mass so they both will reach at same height

Bob is threatening Tom’s life with a giant laser with wavelength (650 nm), a distance (D = 10 m) from the wall James is shackled
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 650 nm

Distance =10 m

Double slit separation d = 5 μm

We need to find the position of fringe

Using formula of distance

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

d\dfrac{y}{D}=n\lambda

y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

y=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}\times10}{5\times10^{-6}}

y=1.3\ m

Hence, He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.
