Anestetic [448]3 years ago

Answer:

21.75 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to slow down = 0.75 s

u = Initial velocity = 50 m/s

v = Final velocity = 8 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{8-50}{0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-56\ m/s^2

Acceleration is -56 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{8^2-50^2}{2\times -56}\\\Rightarrow s=21.75\ m

The distance covered in the 0.75 seconds is 21.75 m

A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 155 ft and 175 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenn
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

163.8 ft

Explanation:

In triangle ABD

AB = 155 ft

Cos63 = \frac{BD}{AB} = \frac{BD}{155}\\BD = 155 Cos63 \\BD = 70.4 ft

Sin63 = \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AD}{155} \\AD = 166 Sin63\\AD = 148 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem in triangle ADC

AC^{2} = AD^{2} + DC^{2} \\175^{2} = 148^{2} + DC^{2} \\DC = 93.4 ft

d = distance between the anchor points

distance between the anchor points is given as

d = BD + CD = 70.4 + 93.4\\d = 163.8 ft

Radial acceleration is given by

a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}
where 

v=r \omega
then

a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2

Now

70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2}  \\  \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }

Using the relation

\omega=2 \pi f

2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\  \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz

Putting into rpm

\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm

The width of the central maxima, formed from light of wavelength 575 nm behind a single slit that has a width of 115 μm, is 1.15
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

 L  = 1.15 m

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation

        a sin θ = m λ

Where a is the width of the slit, λ  the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.

The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

          tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ

We substitute in the first equation

           a (y / L) = m λ

The first maximum occurs for m = 1

The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is

         y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm

         y = 0.575 10⁻² m

Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)

       L = a y / λ  

Let's calculate

     L = 115 10⁻⁶  0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹

     L  = 1.15 m

An electric charge, A, is placed carefully between two other charges, B and C, and experiences no net electric force. Do B
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

I do not have  enough information to tell

Explanation:

This is deduced due to the fact that if the net force due to B and C on A is zero, the charges on B and C could either be positive or negative depending on the charge on A.
