The horse's position on the ground at time t is

x = (20 m/s) t

The baboon's height from the ground at time t is

y = 3 m - 1/2 g t²

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The baboon falls and lands on the horse, so that the two animals meet when the baboon's height is 2 m from the ground, which happens after

2 m = 3 m - 1/2 g t²

1/2 g t² = 1 m

t² = (2 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

t ≈ 0.452 s

In this time, the horse reaches the tree, so its distance from it is

(20 m/s) * (0.452 s) ≈ 9.04 m

Using monochromatic light of 410 nm wavelength, a single thin slit forms a diffraction pattern, with the first minimum at an ang

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

c. 307 nm

Explanation:

angular position of first dark fringe = λ / d , λ is wavelength and d is width of slit .

(40 x π ) / 180 = 410 / d

angular position of second dark fringe = 2 x λ / d , λ is wavelength and d is width of slit .

(60 x π ) / 180 = 2 x λ / d

Dividing these equations

60 / 40 = 2 x λ / 410

λ = 307.5 nm.

Answer: tellurium (Te)

atomic number = 52 ,

Number of energy levels = 5;

First energy level = 2

Second energy level = 8

Third energy level = 18

Fourth energy level = 18

Fifth energy level = 6

In this electron configuration, 0uter most electrons are 6.

Give reason for the following:

Zigmanuir [339]

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground because of gravitational attraction force of earth.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding.
