Answer:

Explanation:

λ = wave length = 632 x 10⁻⁹

slit width a = 2 x 10⁻³ m

angular separation of central maxima

= 2 x λ /a

= 2 x 632 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ rad

width in m of light spot.

= 632 x 10⁻⁶  x 376000 km

= 237.632 km

First off, you need to know the weight of the projectile, lift and drag coefficients something like a high Reynolds number is preferred, then use the gravitational constant of 9.8 meters per second squared those would be a good start to get closer to your goal

What is the average acceleration of the particle between 0 seconds and 4 seconds? A. 0 meters/second2 B. 0.04 meters/second2 C.
lisov135 [29]

Answer

D. 0.25 meters/second2

Explanation

The average acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to the change in time of travel.Taking in this case that the change of velocity is a unit, then Average acceleration is given by;

Aacc=Vf-Vi/Tf-Ti

where Vf=final velocity,Vi=initial velocity' Tf=final time, Ti=initial time

Vf-Vi=1m/s

Tf-Ti=4-0=4seconds

Avacc=1/4=0.25m/s2

How much work is accomplished when a force of 250 N pushes a box across the floor for a distance of 50 meters?
mote1985 [20]
We use the work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem. The formula for work is expressed as the product of the net force and the distance traveled by the object. We were given both the force and the distance so we can solve work directly.

Work = 250 N x 50 m = 12500 J

Thus, the answer is C.
