Answer:

When an object moves in a circle at a constant speed its velocity (which is a vector) is constantly changing. Its velocity is changing not because the magnitude of the velocity is changing but because its direction is. This constantly changing velocity means that the object is accelerating (centripetal acceleration).

koban [17]

Answer:

$N = 1340.86 \ slits / cm$

$\theta = 15.7^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 650 \ nm = 650 *10^{-9} \ m$

The angle of first bright fringe is $\theta = 5^o$

The order of the fringe considered is n =1

Generally the condition for constructive interference is

$dsin (\theta ) = n * \lambda$

=> $d = \frac{1 * 650 *10^{-9 }}{ sin(5)}$

=> $d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \ m$

Converting to cm

$d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \ m = 7.458 *10^{-6} * 100 = 0.0007458 \ cm$

Generally the number of grating pre centimeter is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{1}{d}$

=> $N = \frac{1}{0.0007458}$

=> $N = 1340.86 \ slits / cm$

Considering question B

From the question we are told that

The first wavelength is $\lambda_1 = 650 \ nm = 650 *10^{-9} \ m$

The second wavelength is $\lambda_2 = 429 \ m = 420 *10^{-9 } \ m$

The order of the fringe is $n = 2$

The grating is $N = 5000 \ slits / cm$

Generally the slit width is mathematically represented as

$d = \frac{1}{N }$

=> $d = \frac{1}{ 5000 }$

=> $d = 0.0002 \ c m = 2.0 *10^{-6} \ m$

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the first ray is mathematically represented as

$d sin(\theta_1) = n * \lambda_1$

=> $\theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * \lambda }{d}]$

=> $\theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 650 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]$

=> $\theta_1 = 40.5 ^o$

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the second ray is mathematically represented as

$d sin(\theta_2) = n * \lambda_2$

=> $\theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * \lambda_1 }{d}]$

=> $\theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 420 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]$

=> $\theta_2 = 24.8 ^o$

Generally the angular separation is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \theta_1 - \theta_1$

=> $\theta = 42.5^o - 24.8^o$

=> $\theta = 15.7^o$

A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 78.4 m at a speed of 300 m/sec. How far did it travel horizontally before hi

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 300m/s

H is the maximum height = 78.4m

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute into the fromula;

R = 300√2(78.4)/9.8

R = 300 √(16)

R = 300*4

R = 1200m

Hence the projectile travelled 1200m before hitting the ground

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 2670 km in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 11,070 km in 9 hou

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

speed of plane in still air = 1060 km/h

speed of wind = 170 km/h

Explanation:

Let teh speed of plane in still air is vp and the speed of air is va.

Irt travels 2670 km in 3 hours against the wind

So,

vp - va = 2670 / 3 = 890 km/h ..... (1)

It travels 11070 km in 9 hours along the wind.

vp + va = 11070 / 9 = 1230 km/h .... (2)

Adding both the equations

2 vp = 2120

vp = 1060 km/h

and va = 1230 - vp = 1230 - 1060 = 170 km/h
