On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 3.0 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed

by 45% due to a friction force that is 25% of her weight. Use the work‑energy theorem to find the length of this rough patch.

Answer: 1.25 m

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity $(v_i )=3 m/s$

Final velocity $(v_f)=0.55\times 3=1.65 m/s$

Change in kinetic Energy =work done by Friction

change in Kinetic Energy $=\frac{m}{2}\left ( v_i^2-v_f^2\right )$

work done by friction $=\mu mgL$

$\frac{m}{2}\left ( 3^2-1.65^2\right )=0.25\cdot mg\times L$

$3.135=0.25\times 9.8\times L$

L=1.25

If a diffraction grating has 3700 lines per cm, what is the spacing d between lines

Sonja [21]

So first we find the gap between the slits by the formula d=1/N

<span>N is number of lines per metre so 3700 line/cm = 370000 lines/m </span>
<span>So d=2.7*10^-6 </span>

<span>Now we use the formula dsin(angle)=n(wavelength) </span>

<span>d is the same </span>
<span>n is the order of the diffraction pattern </span>

<span>so wavelenth=dsin(angle)/n </span>
<span>=[(2.7*10^-6)*sin30]/3 </span>
<span>=4.5*10^-7 m</span>

Two electric charges, held a distance, dd, apart experience an electric force of magnitude, FF, between them. If one of the char

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

$F'=2F$

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

In this case, we have $q_1'=2q_1$ :

$F'=\frac{kq'_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2q_1)q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2F$

Constant Acceleration Kinematics: Car A is traveling at 22.0 m/s and car B at 29.0 m/s. Car A is 300 m behind car B when the dri

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The taken is $t_A = 19.0 \ s$

Explanation:

Frm the question we are told that

The speed of car A is $v_A = 22 \ m/s$

The speed of car B is $v_B = 29.0 \ m/s$

The distance of car B from A is $d = 300 \ m$

The acceleration of car A is $a_A = 2.40 \ m/s^2$

For A to overtake B

The distance traveled by car B = The distance traveled by car A - 300m

Now the this distance traveled by car B before it is overtaken by A is

$d = v_B * t_A$

Where $t_B$ is the time taken by car B

Now this can also be represented as using equation of motion as

$d = v_A t_A + \frac{1}{2}a_A t_A^2 - 300$

Now substituting values

$d = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

Equating the both d

$v_B * t_A = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

substituting values

$29 * t_A = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

$7 t_A = \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

$7 t_A =1.2 t_A^2 - 300$

$1.2 t_A^2 - 7 t_A - 300 = 0$

Solving this using quadratic formula we have that

$t_A = 19.0 \ s$
