Answer:

a = 0.154 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following formula of kinematics.

v_{f}= v_{i}-(a*t)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [km/h]

t = time = 3 [min] = 180 [s]

Now we need to convert the velocity from [km/h] to [m/s]

100[\frac{km}{h} ]*1000[\frac{m}{1km} ]*1[\frac{h}{3600s} ]=27.77[\frac{m}{s} ]

0 = 27.77 - (a*180)

a = 0.154 [m/s^2]

Note: the negative sign of the equation shows, that the car slows down until it stops

igomit [66]

Answer:

T=Lnsin\alpha

Please check the attached

Explanation:

The torque can simply be calculated by multiplying the length of the rod by the perpendicular force n as shown in the attached figure.

Note that sin90=1

T=Lsin\alpha(nsin90)

T=Lsin\alphaxn

T=Lnsin\alpha

Suppose you want to make an interferometer with two slits to show the wave nature of light to your friends. The most convenient
nevsk [136]

Answer:

a) the pattern is bright,  b)  y = 8.25 mm, c) the distance increases with the wavelength increases

Explanation:

This is a team building exercise to perform interference experiments, where the separation of the slits is d = 1 m = 1 10⁻³ m and the distance to the screen L = 1.5 m  

Constructive interference occurs when the path difference is equal to an integer number of wavelengths  

             d sin θ = m λ  

a) The center of the two-ray pattern has the same length so the intensity is MAXIMUM, that is, the pattern is bright  

b) to find the distance let's use trigonometry  

   tan θ= y / L  

   tan θ =sin θ/cos θ= sin θ  

because the angles are small  

we substitute  

     y = \frac{m \lambda L}{d} 

let's calculate  

     y = 10 550 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

     y = 8.25 10⁻³ m

c) for this part the incident light must be white or polychrome light  

let's find the distance (y) for some colors, in the first order  

Violet λ = 400  

y = 1 400 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 6 10⁻⁴ m  

green λ = 500 nm  

y = 1 500 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 7.5 10⁻⁴ m  

yellow λ = 600 nm  

y = 1 600 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1.10⁻³  

y = 9 10⁻⁴ m  

lam λ = 700 nm  

y = 1 700 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1. 10⁻³  

y = 1.05 10⁻³ m  

violet, green, orange, red  

the distance increases with the wavelength increases

d) To find the wavelength we must measure the distance y from the center of the slit for various interference orders and using the equation we can find the wavelength of rationality
