If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10 N, then object B will accelerate more quickly than object A provided the mass of both objects are same.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force applied on an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object. In order to state this law in terms of acceleration, it is stated that acceleration exhibited by any object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown below:

                      \text {Acceleration of the object } \propto \frac{\text {Net force on the object}}{\text {Mass of the object}}

So if two objects A and B are identical which means they have same mass, then the acceleration attained by the object will be directly proportionate to the net forces exerted on the objects only.

Thus if the force applied is more for one object, then the object will be exhibiting more acceleration compared to the other one. So as object B is experiencing a net force of 10 N which is greater than the net force experiences by object A, then the object B will be accelerating more quickly compared to the object A's acceleration.

Light of a wavelength 610nm is incident on a slit of
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

0.00915 m

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength of light = 610 nm

L = Distance of slit to screen = 1.5 m

a = Slit gap = 0.2 mm

Width of central maximum is given by

w=\dfrac{2\lambda L}{a}\\\Rightarrow w=\dfrac{2\times 610\times 10^{-9}\times 1.5}{0.2\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow w=0.00915\ m

The width of the central maximum is 0.00915 m

A 10.3 kg block of ice slides without friction down a long track. The start of the track is 4.2 m higher than the end of the tra
Agata [3.3K]
Hello

1) Since there is no friction between the ice and the track, there is no loss of energy in the motion, so we can apply the law of conservation of energy.
The total energy E (sum of potential energy P and kinetic energy K) must be conserved:
E=P+K  

2) At the beginning of the motion, the total energy of the object is just potential energy:
E_1=P=mgh 
where m is the mass, g=9.81~m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration, and h=4.2~m is the initial height of the body.

3) At the end of the motion, this potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, and so the total energy at this point is 
E_2= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass and v is the final velocity of the object.

4) We said that the total energy must be conserved, therefore we can write
E_1 = E_2
and so:
mgh= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
from which we can find v, the velocity:
v= \sqrt{2gh}= \sqrt{2\cdot9.81~m/s^2 \cdot 4.2~m}=9.08~m/s
