Alika [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Democritus had no scientific instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just 'mind experiments', but because Democritus was a philosopher, he thought more into depth about why we humans are alive which led to the atomic theory.

KengaRu [80]

Since the acceleration of car is uniform so the distance traveled by car while brakes are applied is given by

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}*t

given that

v_f = 9 m/s

v_i = 15 m/s

t = 1.20 s

now plug in all data in above formula

d = \frac{15 + 9}{2} * 1.2

d = 14.4 m

so car will cover 14.4 m distance while it apply brakes

Reil [10]

Answer:

a = 16.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 16.5 μm

Explanation:

Here we will use the diffraction equation:

y = mλL/a

where,

y = distance between two consecutive dark fringes = 5.34 cm = 0.0534 m

m = order of diffraction = 1

λ = wavelength of light = 633 nm = 6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = Distance between hair and screen = 1.4 m

a = thickness of hair = ?

0.0534 m = (1)(6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m)(1.4 m)/(a)

a = (6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m)(1.4 m)/(0.0534 m)

<u>a = 16.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 16.5 μm</u>

Softa [21]

Answer: The correct option is "They must be cooler than the air inside the house".

Explanation:

Thermal energy flows from the body at higher temperature to the body at the lower temperature.

In the given problem, the metal aluminum coils in an air conditioner conducts thermal energy from inside the house. The coils must be cooler than the air inside the house.

The thermal energy flows from inside the room to the coils in an air condition. Then, the thermal energy flows from the metal aluminium coils to outside the house.
