Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

object is falling Freely with an odometer

Suppose it falls with zero initial velocity

so distance fallen in time t is given by

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

here u=0 and t=time taken

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

for t=1 s

h_1=\frac{1}{2}g

for t=2 s

h_2=\frac{1}{2}g(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}g=2g

distance traveled in 2 nd sec=2g-\frac{1}{2}g=\frac{3}{2}g

for t=3 s

h_3=\frac{1}{2}g(3)^2=\frac{9}{2}g

distance traveled in 3 rd sec=\frac{9}{2}g-2g=\frac{5}{2}g

so we can see that distance traveled in each successive second is increasing

Find the slit separation of a double-slit arrangement that will produce interference fringes 0.018 rad apart on a distant screen
inessss [21]

Answer:

1.64 * 10^(-5) m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Angular separation, θ = 0.018 rad

Wavelength, λ = 589 nm = 5.89 * 10^(-7) m

The angular separation when there are 2 slots is given as

θ = λ/2d

where d = separation between slits

d = λ/2θ

d = (589 * 10^(-9))/(2 * 0.018)

d = 1.64 * 10^(-5) m

Gyroscopic wander can be divided in to two categories, one is DRIFT, what is the other?
Tju [1.3M]

Gyroscopic wander can be divided into two categories and these are:

  1. Drift
  2. Topple

<h3>What is gyroscopic wander?</h3>

Gyroscopic wander can be defined as a movement of the spin axis (axis of rotation) away from a specific fixed direction.

Based on scientific information and records, there are two main types of gyroscopic wander and these include the following:

  • Drift
  • Topple

In 0.601 s, a 13.1-kg block is pulled through a distance of 4.19 m on a frictionless horizontal surface, starting from rest. The
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

0.615 m

Explanation:

We need to determine the force on the spring first. By Newton's second law of motion, force is the product of the mass and acceleration. The mass is given.

The acceleration is determined using the equation of motion.

Given parameters:

Initial velocity, <em>u</em> = 0.00 m/s

Distance, <em>s</em> = 4.19 m

Time, <em>t</em> = 0.601 s

We use the equation

s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

With <em>u</em> = 0.00 m/s,

s = \frac{1}{2}at^2

a = \dfrac{2s}{t^2}

a = \dfrac{2\times4.19\text{ m}}{(0.601\text{ s})^2} = 23.2\text{ m/s}^2

The force is

F = (13.1\text{ kg})(23.2\text{ m/s}^2) = 303.92 \text{ N}

From Hooke's law, the extension, <em>e</em>, of a string is given by

e = \dfrac{F}{k}

where <em>k</em> is the spring constant.

Hence,

e = \dfrac{303.92\text{ N}}{494\text{ N/m}} = 0.615\text{ m}

5) With a power of 0.12HP it is possible to move a piece of furniture from one place to another, in 14 seconds, applying a force
viva [34]

Answer:

a) 1250 J

b) 17.9 m

Explanation:

Convert horsepower to watts:

0.12 HP = 89.5 W

a) Work = power × time

W = (89.5 W) (14 s)

W = 1250 J

b) Work = force × distance

1250 J = (70 N) d

d = 17.9 m
