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

Physics
1 answer:
dybincka [34]3 years ago
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.

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
