Answer:

1. 3 m

2. 27 s

Explanation:

1. "A car traveling at +33 m/s sees a red light and has to stop.  If the driver can accelerate at -5.5 m/s², how far does it travel?"

Given:

v₀ = 33 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5.5 m/s²

Unknown: Δx

To determine the equation you need, look for which variable you don't have and aren't solving for.  In this case, we aren't given time and aren't solving for time.  So look for an equation that doesn't have t in it.

Equation: v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute and solve:

(0 m/s)² = (33 m/s)² + 2(-5.5 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 3 m

2. "A plane starting from rest at one end of a runway accelerates at 4.8 m/s² for 1800 m.  How long did it take to accelerate?"

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.8 m/s²

Δx = 1800 m

Unknown: t

Equation: Δx = v₀ t + ½ a t²

Substitute and solve:

1800 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.8 m/s²) t²

t ≈ 27 s

(Equation 17.6) Write the equation for the path-length difference at a bright fringe (constructive interference). Define all var
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  d sin tea = m λ

Explanation:

When we have a two-slit system, the optical path difference determines whether the intensity reaching an observation screen is maximum or zero.

To find this difference in optical path, we assume that the screen is much farther than the gap is, we draw a perpendicular from ray 1 to the second ray

       OP = d sin θ

now to have constructive interference and see a bright line this leg must be an integer number of wavelengths, ose

            d sin tea = m λ

where

d             is the distance between the two slits

θ     complexion the angle sea the point hold it between the two slits

λ    the wavelength of the coherent light used

m   an integer, which counts the number of lines of interference

Units in the SI system

d, lam in meters

θ degrees

m an integer

Two people are standing on a 3.12-m-long platform, one at each end. The platform floats parallel to the ground on a cushion of a
Ann [662]

Answer:

The magnitude of displacement is 0.082m

Explanation:

While the ball is in motion,we have MV + mv= 0 ...eq1

Where M = combined mass of the platform and the two people.

V = velocity of the platform

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity of the ball

The distance that the platform moves is given by:

X = Vt ...eq2

Where t is the time that the ball is in the air.

The time the ball is in the air is given by:

L/(v-V) ...eq3

Where L is the length of the platform

The quantity(v-V) = velocity of the ball relative to the platform.

Combining eq2 and eq3

X = (V/(v - V))L

From eq1 , the ratios of the velocities is V/v = -m/M

X = (V/v)L / (1 - (V/v) = (-m/M) L /(1+ (m/M))

X = -mL/(M + m)

X = - (3.36kg × 3.12m) /( 119kg + 3.36kg)

X = - 10.48/ 122.36

X = -0.082m

The minus sign implies that the displacement of the platform is in the opposite direction to the displacement of the ball.

Therefore, the distance moved by the platform is the magnitude of this displacement 0.082m.
