E=(mV^2)/2
m=1000kg, V=20m/s
then, E=(1000kg*(20m/s)^2)/2
E=(1000*400)/2 J = 200000J

The graph below shows the velocity of a car over time.
jekas [21]

Answer:

D. Calculate the area under the graph.

Explanation:

The distance made during a particular period of time is calculated as (distance in m) = (velocity in m/s) * (time in s)

You can think of such a calculation as determining the area of a rectangle whose sides are velocity and time period. If you make the time period very very small, the rectangle will become a narrow "bar" - a bar with height determined by the average velocity during that corresponding short period of time. The area is, again, the distance made during that time. Now, you can cover the entire area under the curve using such narrow bars. Their areas adds up, approximately, to the total distance made over the entire span of motion. From this you can already see why the answer D is the correct one.

Going even further, one can make the rectangular bars arbitrarily narrow and cover the area under the curve with more and more of these. In fact, in the limit, this is something called a Riemann sum and leads to the definition of the Riemann integral. Using calculus, the area under a curve (hence the distance in this case) can be calculated precisely, under certain existence criteria.

A researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (nn = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the
baherus [9]

Answer:

The minimum thickness is t= 8.75*10^{-8} m

Explanation:

generally the equation for thin film interference is mathematically represented as

            2nt = (m + \frac{1}{2} )  \lambda

Where t the  thickness  

           m is any  integer

            n is the refractive index of the film

            \lambda is the wavelength of light

Since we are looking for the thickness we make t the subject of the  formula

          t = \frac{(m+ \frac{1}{2} ) \lambda}{2n}

m= 0 cause the thickness is minimum at m=0

   Substituting values

                    t = \frac{(0 +\frac{1}{2}) 8525*10^{-9} }{2 *1.5}

                       t= 8.75*10^{-8} m
