Answer:

A. 200 J

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy depends on the initial speed, while the gravitational potential energy depends on the height, both balls are thrown with the same initial speed and from the same height. Therefore, due to the law of conservation of energy, the balls must have the same mechanical energy (the sum of both energies) when both impact the ground. Since the potential energy is zero at this point, its final kinetic energy must also be the same.

Young's experiment is performed with light of wavelength 502 nm from excited helium atoms. Fringes are measured carefully on a s
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of light λ = 502 nm

screen distance D = 1.2 m

width of one fringe = 10.2 mm / 20

= .51 mm

fringe width = λ D / a  , a is separation of slits

Puting the values given

.51 x 10⁻³ =  502 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.2 / a

a = 502 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.2 / .51 x 10⁻³

= 1181.17 x 10⁻⁶ m

1.18 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.18 mm .

A car is moving with an initial relocity of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

The acceleration of the car, a = 10 m/s²

The time period of travel, t = 5 s

Using the I equations of motion

                     v = u + at

                        = 20 + 10(5)

                        = 20 + 50

                        = 70 m/s

Hence, the final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

After the driver first notices the obstacle, the car moves uniformly for a time interval t1−t0=t before the brakes are applied.
loris [4]

Answer:

V(t1-t0)

Explanation:

Moving 'uniformly' means constant velocity (speed). the formula for constant speed motion is V = \frac{distance}{time} =( change in position/ change in time)

where,

                  V is speed

given in the statement :

change in time = t =  t1-t0

let the constant speed be ' V '

disance = X = X1-X0

applying the above mentioned formula: V = \frac{X}{t}

V = X/t

X = Vt

the distance X1-X0 = Vt =V(t1-t0)

A force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2
Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

                  Force = Mass \times Acceleration

So,

                 Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

                  Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}
