<u>Answer:</u>

Option: D. Gravity is pulling the crash test dummy in the direction the car is moving.

<u>Explanation: </u>

When a car accelerates from a standing start, the crash test dummy appears to be pressed backward into the seat cushion because the gravity is pulling the crash test dummy in the direction the car is moving.  

Basically when the car is starting, the person inside is in static position and the car is going to move. So it is putting a force on the person to move on the same speed. But as the person is sitting static hence gravity is pulling him behind from moving. Hence, The dummy appears to be pressed backward.

A diffraction grating with 600 lines/mmlines/mm is illuminated with light of wavelength 510 nmnm. A very wide viewing screen is
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

A.2.95 m

B.7

Explanation:

We are given that

Diffraction grating=600 lines/mm

d=\frac{1 mm}{600}=\frac{1\times 10^{-3} m}{600}=1.67\times 10^{-6} m

Wavelength of light,\lambda=510 nm=510\times 10^{-9} m

l=4.6 m

A.We have to find the distance between the two m=1 bright fringes

sin\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}

For first bright fringe, =1

sin\theta=\frac{1\times 510\times 10^{-9}}{1.67\times 10^{-6}}=0.305

\theta=sin^{-1}(0.305)=17.76^{\circ}

The distance between two m=1 fringes

x=2ltan\theta=2\times 4.6 tan(17.76^{\circ})=2.95 m

Hence, the distance between two m=1 fringes=2.95 m

B.For maximum number of fringes,

sin\theta=1

sin\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}

Substitute the values

1=\frac{m\times 510\times 10^{-9}}{1.67\times 10^{-6}}

m=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-6}}{510\times 10^{-9}}=3.3\approx 3

Maximum number of bright fringes on the scree=2m+1=2(3)+1=7

An analogy makes a comparison between objects based on their similar qualities. Cassidy wanted to create an analogy for the moti
user100 [1]
The three phases of matter differ in properties just because of the proximity of their molecules. The solid phase is the most organized of all. Its atoms are compactly arranged together and has the strongest intermolecular forces to keep them together. This is why they have a definite shape and volume. The liquid phase have molecules that are far away from each other, but not as far as that of the gas phase. The liquid and gas phases can be lumped into one group called fluids because they have the same property - they take the shape and volume of their container.

To make an analogy, see the attached picture for your reference.

What tension would you need to make a middle c (261.6 hz) fundamental mode on a 1 m string (for example, on a harp)? the linear
Allisa [31]
The frequency of middle C on a string is
f = 261.6 Hz.

The given linear density is
ρ = 0.02 g/cm = (0.02 x 10⁻³ kg)/(10⁻² m)
   = 0.002 kg/m

The length of the string is L = 1 m.

Let T =  the tension in the string (N).
The velocity of the standing wave is
v= \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\rho} }

In the fundamental mode, the wavelength, λ, is equal to the length, L.
That is
Because v = fλ, therefore
\sqrt{ \frac{T}{\rho} } =f \lambda = fL \\\\ \frac{T}{\rho} = (fL)^{2} \\\\ T = \rho (fL)^{2}

From given information, obtain
T = (0.002 kg/m)*(261.6 1/s)²*(1 m)²
   = 136.87 N

Answer: 136.9 N (nearest tenth)
