Answer:

We are given:

displacement (s) = 130 m

acceleration (a) = -5 m/s²

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s [the cars 'stops' in 130 m]

initial velocity (u) = u m/s

Solving for initial velocity:

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(0)² - (u)² = 2(-5)(130)

-u² = -1300

u² = 1300

u = √1300

u = 36 m/s

What is the index of refraction in quartz if light travels at 2.0567 x 108m/s when in quartz?

Gnesinka [82]

Index of refraction of a substance =

(speed of light in vacuum) / (speed of light in the substance)

Index in quartz = (2.9979 x 10⁸ m/s) / (2.0567 x 10⁸ m/s)

Index = 1.4576 (no units)

Light shines through atomic Hydrogen gas. It is seen that the gas absorbs light readily at a wavelength of 91.65 nm. What is the

hoa [83]

Answer:

n = 19

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of the light absorbed = 91.65 nm = 91.65 x 10⁻⁹ m

$n_{2}$ = nth level = n

$n_{1}$ = 1

Using conservation of energy

$\frac{hc}{\lambda} = (13.6\times1.6\times10^{-19}) (\frac{1}{n_{1}^2} - \frac{1}{n_{2}^2} )\\\frac{(6.63\times10^{-34})(3\times10^{8})}{(91.65\times10^{-9})} = (13.6\times1.6\times10^{-19}) (\frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{n^2} )\\2.17\times10^{-18} = (21.76\times10^{-19}) (\frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{n^2} )\\n = 19$

what do you understand by gravitational potential energy? what is the increase in the gravitational potential energy of a 20 kg

enyata [817]

Answer:

energy possessed by any object due to its position in gravitational field
it is given by the equation P.E.= mgh where m = mass ,g= gravitational force of earth ( 9.8m/s^2) and h= hight of the object
there for for above problem m = 20kg , h= 10 m and g= (9.8m/s^2)
p.E. = 20×10×9.8 =1960 jules

Explanation:

hope it helped u buddy :-)
