Answer:

e) 31.6 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_1=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s_1=\frac{1}{2}0.5t^2\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=\frac{1}{2}1.5t^2\ m

s_1+s_2=1000

\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{1}{2}0.5t^2+\frac{1}{2}1.5t^2\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{0.5t^2+1.5t^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{2t^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow 1000=t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{1000}\\\Rightarrow t=31.6\ s

Time taken by the cars to meet 31.6 seconds.

A double-slit experiment is set up using red light (λ = 706 nm). A first order bright fringe is seen at a given location on a sc
Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 470.66 nm

Explanation:

for bright fringey_m = \frac{m\lambda D}{d}

D= distance between slit and screen

d= distance between the slits

for first order bright fringe m = 1,

        y_1 = \frac{1\lambda D}{d}

         y_1 = {706*D}{d}

for dark fringe,we have

y_m = {(m + 1/2)\lambda D}{d}    

Now to get the dark fringes at the same location we should have;

(706)D/d = (m + 1/2)λD/d    

put m = 1

(1 + 1/2)λ = (706)

λ = 470.66 nm

Cart 1 has an initial velocity and hits cart 2 which is stationary. after a perfectly inelastic collision, the combined carts ar
Tomtit [17]

Option(a)  the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is the right answer.

The mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1  is correct about the mass of cart 2.

Let's demonstrate the issue using variables:

Let,

m1=mass of cart 1

m2=mass of cart 2

v1 = velocity of cart 1 before collision

v2 = velocity of cart 2 before collision

v' = velocity of the carts after collision

Using the conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collisions:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v'

v2 = 0 because it is stationary

v' = 1/3*v1

m1v1 = (m1+m2)(1/3)(v1)

m1 = 1/3*m1 + 1/3*m2

1/3*m2 = m1 - 1/3*m1

1/3*m2 = 2/3*m1

m2 = 2m1

From this we can conclude that the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1.

A 24 liter tank contains ideal helium gas at 27 degrees C anda pressure of 22 atm. How many moles of gas are in the tank?
frozen [14]

Answer:

d)21.5 moles

Explanation:

Given that

L = 24 L

T = 27 °C = 300 K

P = 22 atm

We know that ideal gas equation

P V = n R T

P=Pressure ,V= Volume ,n=Moles ,R=Universal gas constant ,T=Temperature

Now by putting the values

22 x 24 = n x 0.08206 x 300

n= 21.447 moles

n= 21.5 moles

Therefore the number of moles will be 21.5 moles.

The answer is "d".
