Answer:

4.7 N

Explanation:

130 g = 0.13 kg

The momentum of the snowball when it's thrown at the wall is

p = mv = 0.13*6.5 = 0.845 kgm/s

Which is also the impulse. From here we can calculate the magnitude of the average force F knowing the duration of the collision is 0.18 s

p = F\Delta t

F*0.18 = 0.845

F = 0.845 / 0.18 = 4.7 N

Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 591 nm wavelength light falling on a diffraction grating having 1460 lines per ce
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

15.32°

Explanation:

We have given the wavelength \lambda =591nm=591\times 10^{-9}m

Diffraction grating is 1460 lines per cm

So  d=\frac{10^{-2}}{1460}=6.71\times 10^{-6}m (as 1 m=100 cm )

For maximum diffraction

dsin\Theta =m\lambda here m is order of diffraction

So 6.71\times 10^{-6}sin\Theta =3\times 591\times 10^{-9}

sin\Theta =0.264

\Theta =15.32^{\circ}

A man pushes a 10kg box with a constant acceleration of 5m/s2. What force is applied to the box?
drek231 [11]
FORMULA

\boxed {F = m \times a}

F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration

Using the formula

F = 10 \times 5

Multiply

\boxed {\textsf {F = 10 N}}

Unequal length of day and night<br><br>Rotation or Revolution​
RUDIKE [14]
Rotation. The Earth rotates around the sun on it’s axis. Depending how far north or south you live, and the angle of the sun at different times of year gives you the amount of daylight or darkness you will receive. So the length of day or night depends on how much the sun is able to reach the spot on a round object such as the planet Earth.
