Why does a bowling ball move without acceleration when it rolls along a bowling alley?

1 answer:

5 0

The bowling ball is a perfect sphere, therefore, the resistance of the ball with the ground is very small and can be neglected.
This means that there is no horizontal force (F = zero)

Based on Newton's laws:
Force = mass x acceleration
Since the force is zero, therefore, the acceleration must be equal to zero.

During that final period of time,
his acceleration is
(9 m/s - 5 m/s) / (4 sec) = 1 m/s² .

A beam of light has a wavelength of 4.5 x10^-7 meter in a vacuum. the frequency of this light is

valkas [14]

The basic relationship between frequency and wavelength for light (which is an electromagnetic wave) is
$c= f \lambda$
where c is the speed of light, f the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength of the wave.
Using $\lambda=4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m$ and $c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ , we can find the value of the frequency:
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m}=6.7 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$
