When a force, F, is applied to an object at an angle,θ, to compute for the horizontal and vertical components, we have the following

F_{vertical} = Fsin(\theta)
F_{horizontal} = Fcos(\theta)

So, for this particular problem, given that the force applied to the sled is 4.00 N at 62⁰. Thus, the horizontal component of the force is equal to

F = 4.00(cos62⁰) = 1.88 N

Therefore, the horizontal force is 1.88 N.
Answer: 1.88 N

You want to draw a free body diagram of the forces on the sled in the horizontal x-direction.

If you visualize the system in an x-y coordinate plane, the force along the x-direction is the angle it makes with the x-axis multiples by the force.

The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle theta.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 550 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a

 \theta  =  0.0022 rad

b

 I  =  0.000304 I_o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The  wavelength of the light is \lambda  = 550 \ nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  distance of the slit separation is  d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m

 

Generally the condition for two slit interference  is  

     dsin \theta =  m \lambda

Where m is the order which is given from the question as  m = 2

=>    \theta  =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]

 substituting values  

      \theta  =  0.0022 rad

Now on the second question  

   The distance of separation of the slit is  

       d =  0.300 \ mm  =  3.0 *10^{-4} \ m

The  intensity at the  the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as

      I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2

Where  \beta is mathematically evaluated as

       \beta  =  \frac{\pi *  d  *  sin(\theta )}{\lambda }

  substituting values

     \beta  =  \frac{3.142  *  3*10^{-4}  *  sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }

    \beta  = 0.06581

So the intensity is  

    I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2

   I  =  0.000304 I_o

The velocity of an object is equal to the distance divided by time. The equation is velocity = distance/time. If you wanted to c
Korolek [52]

Answer: C) divide: distance ÷ velocity

Explanation:

The velocity V equation is distance d divided by time t:

V=\frac{d}{t}

If we isolate t we will have:

t=\frac{d}{V}

Hence, the correct option is C: distance divided by velocity.

Delvig [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.

By definition we know that the position of a body is given by

x=x_0+v_0t+at^2

Where

x_0 = Initial position

v_0 = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t= time

And the velocity can be expressed as,

v_f = v_0 + at

Where,

v_f = Final velocity

For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then

x= at^2

With our values we have x = 401.4m, t=4.945s, rearranging to find a,

a=\frac{x}{t^2}

a = \frac{ 401.4}{4.945^2}

a = 16.41m/s^2

Therefore the final velocity would be

v_f = v_0 + at

v_f = 0 + (16.41)(4.945)

v_f = 81.14m/s

Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s
