Aerobie. Frisbee. Discus. Javelin. I suppose an American football to some extent.
<span>Pull! Clay pigeons. Arrows. Wingsuit. Kites. Hang gliders. Sails. sailboat keels/dagger boards. Water skis. Ski jumping skis. Boomerang. </span>
<span>I'm excluding spheres and parachutes as bluff bodies even though aerodynamics often plays a big part in their motion.</span>

Using a 683 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.1 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen t

n200080 [17]

Answer:

10.2 m

Explanation:

The position of the dark fringes (destructive interference) formed on a distant screen in the interference pattern produced by diffraction from a single slit are given by the formula:

$y=\frac{\lambda (m+\frac{1}{2})D}{d}$

where

y is the position of the m-th minimum

m is the order of the minimum

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used

In this problem we have:

$\lambda=683 nm = 683\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the light

$d=1.1 mm = 0.0011 m$ is the width of the slit

m = 13 is the order of the minimum

$y=8.57 cm = 0.0857 m$ is the distance of the 13th dark fringe from the central maximum

Solving for D, we find the distance of the screen from the slit:

$D=\frac{yd}{\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})}=\frac{(0.0857)(0.0011)}{(683\cdot 10^{-9})(13+\frac{1}{2})}=10.2 m$

What is the resistance at 20°C of a 2.0-meter length of tungsten wire with a cross-sectional area of 7.9 10^-7

Bad White [126]

Answer:

1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

Explanation:

Hi,

For this question, we gotta use the formula

R = pL/A

p = The resistivity of your material at 20°C

L = length of the wire

A = cross-sectional area

The resistivity of tungsten is 5.60 * 10^-8 at 20°C

By plugging the values, we get:

R = (5.60 * 10^-8)(2.0)/(7.9*10^-7) = 1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

How did J.J. Thomson's experiments demonstrate that Dalton's model of the atom was incorrect?

morpeh [17]

The correct option is C.
J.J Thompson demonstrated that Dalton's model of the atomic theory was wrong by showing that atoms are made up of sub particles, this is contrary to the report that Dalton gave about atoms. In his experiment, Dalton reported that atoms are indivisible, that is, they can not be broken down into smaller particles. J.J Thompson on the other was able to show through his cathode ray experiment that atoms are made up of smaller particles called electrons.

A student throws a rock horizontally from the edge of a cliff that is 20 m high. The rock has an initial speed on 10 m/s. If air

fiasKO [112]

The distance of the rock from the base of the cliff is C) 20 m

Explanation:

The motion of the rock in this problem is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

We start by analyzing the vertical motion to find the time of flight of the rock (the time it takes to reach the ground). We can do it by using the suvat equation:

$s=u_y t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$
