Answer:

0.4 m/s^2 or 5184 km/h^2

Explanation:

To find the acceleration, given the inicial and final speed of the car, we can use the Torricelli's formula:

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2*a*D

Where V is the final speed, Vo is the inicial speed, a is the acceleration and D is the distance travelled. So, with V = 72 km/h, Vo = 0 (starts from rest) and D = 0.5 km, we have:

72^2 = 0 ^2 + 2*a*0.5

a = 72^2 = 5184 km/h^2

For an acceleration in m/s^2, we should use the speed in meters per second (72 / 3.6 = 20 m/s) and the distance in meters (D = 500):

20^2 = 0^2 + 2*a*500

400 = 1000a

a = 0.4 m/s^2

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}$

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=0.725$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}$

$\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=633\ nm$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Talja [164]

Answer:

c. from south to north

Explanation:

since we know that:

F = qv×B

where F is the force and in this case is pointed upward

where v is the velocity due east

the field must be due north by the right hand rule

Therefore, near the equator the magnetic field lines of the earth are directed north from south
