Answer:

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

a) A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s² for 5.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 0 m/s

        a = 4.0 m/s²

         t = 5 s

         v = u + at = 0 + 4 x 5 = 20 m/s

b) Then maintains that velocity for 10 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = 0 m/s²

         t = 10 s

         v = u + at = 20 + 0 x 10 = 20 m/s

c) Then decelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s² for 4.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = -2.0 m/s²

         t = 4 s

         v = u + at = 20 + -2 x 4 = 12 m/s

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

Yes, the ions can exit slit P without being deflected, if the electric field strength is 170.6 N/C

Explanation:

When the ions are inside the container, they are subjected to two forces, with directions opposite to each other:

  • The force due to the electric field, whose magnitude is F_E=qE, where q is the charge of the ion and E is the strength of the electric field
  • The force due to the magnetic field, whose magnitude is F_B=qvB, where v is the speed of the ions and B is the strength of the magnetic field

The ions will move straight and undeflected if the two forces are equal and opposite. By using Fleming Left Hand rule, we notice that the magnetic force on the (negative) ions point upward: this means that the electric field must be also upward (so that the electric force on the ions is downward). Then, the two forces are balanced if

F_E = F_B

which translates into

qE=qvB\\\rightarrow v = \frac{E}{B}

Therefore, if the speed of the ions is equal to this ratio, the ions will go undeflected.

We can even calculate the value of E at which this occurs. In fact, we know that the ions are earlier accelerated by a potential difference V=-3000 V, so we have that their kinetic energy is given by the change in electric potential energy:

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

q=-2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C\\m=2.84\cdot 10^{-20}kg

Solving for v, the speed,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(-2.0\cdot 10^{-19})(-3000)}{2.84\cdot 10^{-20}}}=205.6 m/s

And since the magnetic field strength is

B = 0.83 T

The strength of the electric field must be

E=vB=(205.6 m/s)(0.83 T)=170.6 N/C

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli
goblinko [34]

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.
