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

A 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the players will be <u>2.88 m/s</u> in the <u>east</u> direction.

Explanation:

Let 'v' be the velocity of the players after collision.

Consider the east direction as positive direction.

Given:

Mass of the first player  is, m_1 = 91.5 kg  

Initial velocity of the first player  is, u_1 = 2.73 m/s  

Mass of the second player  is, m_2 = 63.5 kg  

Initial velocity of the second player is, u_2 = 3.09 m/s  

In order to solve this problem we use the law of conservation of momentum which says that the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

Solving for v, we get:

v = \frac{m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(91.5)(2.73)+(63.5)(3.09)}{91.5+63.5}=2.88\ m/s

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 2.88 m/s.

The sign of the velocity after collision is positive. So, the players will move in the east direction only after collision.

If a moving ball is hit by another moving ball ,what effect of force can be observed in such a situation?
kramer

Answer:

The forces are the weight, drag, and lift. Lift and drag are actually two components of a single aerodynamic force acting on the ball. Drag acts in a direction opposite to the motion, and lift acts perpendicular to the motion.

Force of 10N down,10N to the right,and 5N to the left are acting on a ball .it acceleration horizontally to the right.what other
denpristay [2]

Answer:

A 10 N force pointing up

Explanation:

If the net acceleration of the object is horizontal pointing to the right, that means that all vertical forces must have canceled out, and the only ones "unbalanced" are the horizontal ones (10 N to the right minus 5 N to the left giving a net force of 5 N to the right).

Since they mentioned only one vertical force pointing down (10 N), there must be another one of same magnitude but pointing in opposite direction (up).

Then there must also be a 10 N force pointing up acting on the object.

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.26 m and a spring constant of 180 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

a)

two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign. both charges are positive(+) or Negative (-)

b)

both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

Given that;

L = 0.26 m

k = 180 N/m

x = 0.039 m

a)

we know that two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign.

b)

Spring force F = kx

F = 180 × 0.039

F = 7.02 N

Now, Electrostatic force F = Keq²/r²

where r = L + x = ( 0.26 + 0.039 )

we know that proportionality constant in electrostatics equations Ke = 9×10⁹ kg⋅m3⋅s−2⋅C−2

so from the equation; F = Keq²/r²

Fr² = Keq²

q = √ ( Fr² / Ke )

we substitute

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q =  √ (0.627595 / 9×10⁹)

q = √(6.97 × 10⁻¹¹)

q = 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Therefore both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
