Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by

Physics
1 answer:
denpristay [2]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Time elapsed

Explanation:

Acceleration is a vector quantity. It is defined as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). It must be noticed that acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction. In particular:

- when acceleration is negative, it means that the object is slowing down, so acceleration is in opposite direction to the velocity

- when acceleration is positive, it means that the object is speeding up, so acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m

(a) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}

\theta=0.104^{\circ}

(b) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=10.47^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1-kilogram toy car at a rate of 2 meters per second per second?
kozerog [31]
F = ma,    where m = mass in kg, a = acceleration in m/s², F = Force in Newton

F = 1 * 2

F = 2 N

Force needed is 2 Newtons.

magine two carts, one with twice the mass of the other, that are going to have a head-on collision. In order for the two carts t
scoray [572]

Answer:

Twice as fast

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The mass of less massive cart = m

- The mass of Massive cart = 2m

- The velocity of less massive cart = u

- The velocity of massive cart = v

- We will consider the system of two carts to be isolated and there is no external applied force on the system. This conditions validates the conservation of linear momentum to be applied on the isolated system.

- Each cart with its respective velocity are directed at each other. And meet up with head on collision and comes to rest immediately after the collision.

- The conservation of linear momentum states that the momentum of the system before ( P_i ) and after the collision ( P_f ) remains the same.

                             P_i = P_f

- Since the carts comes to a stop after collision then the linear momentum after the collision ( P_f = 0 ). Therefore, we have:

                             P_i = P_f = 0

- The linear momentum of a particle ( cart ) is the product of its mass and velocity as follows:

                             m*u - 2*m*v = 0

Where,

                 ( u ) and ( v ) are opposing velocity vectors in 1-dimension.

- Evaluate the velcoity ( u ) of the less massive cart in terms of the speed ( v ) of more massive cart as follows:

                          m*u = 2*m*v

                              u = 2*v

Answer: The velocity of less massive cart must be twice the speed of more massive cart for the system conditions to hold true i.e ( they both come to a stop after collision ).
