Answer:

5 kilocalories

Explanation:

The heat is a way of energy and it can be measured by calories, but the calories of the heat (thermal calories) are different for the food Calories.

1 food Calories = 1000 thermal calories

5 food Calories = 5000 calories = 5 kilocalories

Thus, when a piece of candy is totally burned, the thermal calorie presented in it will be released as heat.

The distance between the first and fifth minima of a single-slit diffraction pattern is 0.500 mm with the screen 37.0 cm away fr
WARRIOR [948]
In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
y_n= \frac{n \lambda D}{a} (1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
\lambda is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit

In our problem, 
D=37.0 cm=0.37 m
\lambda=530 nm=5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
y_5-y_1 = 0.500 mm=0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m (2)

If we use the formula to rewrite y_5, y_1, eq.(2) becomes
\frac{5 \lambda D}{a} - \frac{1 \lambda D}{a} =\frac{4 \lambda D}{a}= 0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
a= \frac{4 \lambda D}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= \frac{4 (5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m)(0.37 m)}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}=  1.57 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1.57 mm

Newton’s second law of motion addresses the relationship between what two variables that influence the force on a body?
IgorC [24]

Newton’s Second Law concerns the generation of force based on an object’s mass and acceleration, as described by the equation F=ma.

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs

Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction

now we know that

a=-9.81 m/s^2  ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)

we also know that

s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)

using kinetic equation

v^2=u^2+2as

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial

hence

u^2=-2(-9.81)*0.76

u=3.8615 m/s\\

now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent

s=ut+0.5at^2

0.15=3.861*t+0.5*9.81t^2\\

using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-3.861+\sqrt{3.86^2-4*0.5*9.81(-0.15)} }{2*0.5*9.81}

t=0.0409 sec

the answer for the part b will be the same

To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

v^2=u^2+2as

where s=0.76-0.15

as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom

v^2=0^2 +2*(9.81)*(0.76-0.15)

v=3.4595

when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861

hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

t=\frac{3.861-3.4595}{9.81}

t=0.0409

An object weighing 4 newtons swings on the end of a string as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(B) 0.5 g

Explanation:

Newton's second law says ∑  F i = m a .

the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.

f∝ma

f=kma

were k is constant and equal to 1

The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.

the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside

At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;

notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object

we can write

1.5mg – mg = mac,

0.5mg = mac

0.5 g=ac
