Answer:

The above given statement represent the Newton;'s 3rd law of motion.

This describes that when two objects collides or interacts with each other, there occurs a pair of forces that directly acts on the two colliding objects. The force exerted on both the sides are of equal magnitude.

For example, there are two contrasting body named M and N, which collides with each other. This collision results in the occurrence of force acting on both the objects. The body M exerts a force on body N and similarly, the body N exerts a force on body M, and this two forces are equal in amount.

D. 289
Take the formula:
K=5/9(Fahrenheit-32)+273
Plug in Fahrenheit
K=5/9 (60-32)+273
From here it is simple math and you can plug it into your calculator getting 288.5555556 and round to 289

A puck of mass 0.70 kg approaches a second, identical puck that is stationary on frictionless ice. The initial speed of the movi

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

$v_1 = \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_2 = 3 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

For this problem, we just need to remember conservation of momentum, as there are no external forces in the horizontal direction:

$\vec{p}_i = \vec{p}_f$

where the suffix i means initial, and the suffix f means final.

The initial momentum will be:

$\vec{p}_i = m_1 \ \vec{v}_{1_i} + m_2 \ \vec{v}_{2_i}$

as the second puck is initially at rest:

$\vec{v}_{2_i} = 0$

Using the unit vector $\vec{i}$ pointing in the original line of motion:

$\vec{v}_{1_i} = 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \hat{i}$

$\vec{p}_i = 0.70 \ kg \ 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \ \hat{i} + 0.70 \ kg \ 0$

$\vec{p}_i = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}$

So:

$\vec{p}_i = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = \vec{p}_f$

$\vec{p}_f = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}$

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

$\ \vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )$

So, our velocity vectors will be:

$\vec{v}_{1_f} = v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ )$

$\vec{v}_{2_f} = v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )$

We got

$\vec{p}_f = 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{1_f} + 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{2_f}$

$4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = 0.7 \ kg \ v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ ) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )$

So, we got the equations:

$4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} = 0.7 \ kg \ v_1 \ cos(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ cos(-60 \°)$

and

$0 = 0.7 \ kg \ v_1 \ sin(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ sin(-60 \°)$ .

From the last one, we get:

$0 = 0.7 \ kg \ ( v_1 \ sin(30 \°) + \ v_2 \ sin(-60 \°) )$

$0 = v_1 \ sin(30 \°) + \ v_2 \ sin(-60 \°)$

$v_1 \ sin(30 \°) = - \ v_2 \ sin(-60 \°)$

$v_1 = \ v_2 \ \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }$

and, for the first one:

$4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} = 0.7 \ kg \ ( v_1 \ cos(30 \°) + v_2 \ cos(60 \°) )$

$\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} = v_1 \ cos(30 \°) + v_2 \ cos(60 \°)$

$6 \ \frac{m}{s} = (\ v_2 \ \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \ cos(30 \°) + v_2 \ cos(60 \°)$

$6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2 (\ \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \ cos(30 \°) + cos(60 \°)$

$6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2 * 2$

so:

$v_2 = 6 \ \frac{m}{s} / 2 = 3 \frac{m}{s}$

and

$v_1 = \ 3 \frac{m}{s} \ \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }$

$v_1 = \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}$

A puddle of water has a thin film of gasoline floating on it. A beam of light is shining perpendicular on the film. If the wavel

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Destructive and constructive interference. The constructive interference in tin film is given by

$2t = (m+\frac{1}{2})\frac{\lambda}{n}$

Where,

t = thickness

$\lambda=$ Wavelenght

m= is an integer

n= film/refractive index

We use this equaton because phase change is only present for gasoline air interface, but not at the gasoline-water interface. The minimum t only would be when the value of m=0 then

$2nt = \frac{\lambda}{2}$

$t = \frac{560nm}{4*1-4}$

$t = 100nm$

Therefore the correct answer is D. The minimum thickness of the film to see ab right reflection is 100nm
