Answer:

35 m

0.56 m/s west

Explanation:

A) Total distance is the length of the path taken.

30 m + 5 m = 35 m

B) Velocity is displacement over time. Displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.

If west is -x, and east is +x, then:

Δx = -30 m + 5 m

Δx = -25 m

v = Δx / t

v = -25 m / 45 s

v = -0.56 m/s

v = 0.56 m/s west

Coherent light of frequency 6.37×1014 Hz passes through two thin slits and falls on a screen 88.0 cm away. You observe that the

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency $f= 6.37\times10^{14}\ Hz$

Distance of the screen l = 88.0 cm

Position of the third order y =3.10 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{6.37\times10^{14}}$

$\lambda=471\ nm$

We need to calculate the distance between the two slits

$m\times \lambda=d\sin\theta$

$d =\dfrac{m\times\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, m = number of fringe

d = distance between the two slits

Here, $\sin\theta =\dfrac{y}{l}$

Put the value into the formula

$d=\dfrac{3\times471\times10^{-9}\times88.0\times10^{-2}}{3.10\times10^{-2}}$

$d=40.11\times10^{-6}\ m$

$d = 40.11\ \mu m$

Hence, The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.

A fan that is rotating at 960 rev/s is turned off. It makes 1500 revolutions before it comes to a stop. a) What was its angular

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

α = 1930.2 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular acceleration can be found by using the third equation of motion:

$2\alpha \theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

where,

α = angular acceleration = ?

θ = angular displacement = (1500 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 9424.78 rad

ωf = final angular speed = 0 rad/s

ωi = initial angular speed = (960 rev/s)(2π rad/1 rev) = 6031.87 rad/s

Therefore,

$2\alpha(9424.78\ rad) = (0\ rad/s)^2-(6031.87\ rad/s)^2\\\\\alpha = -\frac{(6031.87\ rad/s)^2}{(2)(9424.78\ rad)}$

<u>negative sign shows deceleration</u>

If you double the velocity of a moving object, how is it's momentum affected?

Allushta [10]

Well momentum is = to Mass*Velocity so let's use an example to figure this out

If I weighed 50kg and I was jogging at 3m/s then I broke into a run at 6m/s how will me momentum be affected?
3m/s*50kg=150
6m/s*50kg=300

So as you can see by doubling the velocity you also double the momentum
