Answer:

3.61 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v = 12 m/s

x = 7 m

x₀ = 0 m

t = 6 s

Find:

a

x = x₀ + vt - ½ at²

7 m = 0 m + (12 m/s) (6 s) - ½ a (6 s)²

a = 3.61 m/s²

In a Young's double-slit experiment, light of wavelength 500 nm illuminates two slits which are separated by 1 mm. The separatio

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

b. 0.25cm

Explanation:

You can solve this question by using the formula for the position of the fringes:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

m: order of the fringes

lambda: wavelength 500nm

D: distance to the screen 5 m

d: separation of the slits 1mm=1*10^{-3}m

With the formula you can calculate the separation of two adjacent slits:

$\Delta y=\frac{(m+1)(\lambda D)}{d}-\frac{m\lambda D }{d}=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\\\\\Delta y=\frac{(500*10^{-9}nm)(5m)}{1*10^{-3}m}=2.5*10^{-3}m=0.25cm$

hence, the aswer is 0.25cm

If a 54 kg sprinter can accelerate from a standing start to a speed of 10 m/s in 3 s, what average power is generated?

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Power, P = 600 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of sprinter, m = 54 kg

Speed, v = 10 m/s

Time taken, t = 3 s

We need to find the average power generated. The work done divided by time taken is called power generated by the sprinter i.e.

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sprinter.

$P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 54\ kg\times (10\ m/s)^2}{3\ s}$

P = 900 watts

So, the average power generated by the sprinter is 900 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A zebra starts from rest and accelerates at 1.9 m/s how far has a zebra gone in five seconds

Maksim231197 [3]

To that multiply 1.9 by 5 to get 9.5. The zebra has gone 9.5 m.

A book is sitting on a desk. What best describes the normal force acting on the book?

maxonik [38]

Gravitational force is the result of the earth pulling down on the book, so the normal force is best described as the earth or more accurately the table pushing up on the book
