1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The relative velocity of an object A with respect to another object B.

Explanation:

The relative velocity of an object A with respect to another object B is the velocity that object A would appear to have to an observer situated on object B moving along with it.

Imagine a player throwing a football. Explain the action of what is happening to the hand and ball, as well as describe the acti
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a player throws a football , he applies force on the ball , due to which ball accelerates in forward direction . This is the action force .

The ball also applies a force on the hand of the player . Due to it the player experiences a pushing force in backward direction . This is reaction force .

Due to this force , the player does not move in backward direction because of frictional force of the ground . The frictional force keeps him stationary .

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the distance to the screen is 100 cm. What is the phas
Anni [7]

Answer:

The phase difference is  \Delta \phi  = 180^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The distance between the slits is d = 0.2 \ mm = \frac{0.2}{1000}  = 0.2 *10^{-3} \ m

     The distance to the screen is D = 100 cm = \frac{100}{100} = 1 \ m

      The wavelength is  \lambda = 400nm

 The distance of the wave from the  central maximum is L =  5mm = 5*10^{-3} m

   

Generally the path difference of this  waves is mathematically represented as

              y = d sin \theta

Here \theta is the angle between the the line connecting the mid-point of the slits with  the screen and the line  connecting the mid-point of the slits to the central maximum

  This implies that

              tan \theta  = \frac{L}{D}

     =>     \theta = tan ^{-1} \frac{L}{D}

             \theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{5*10^{-3}}{1}]

           \theta =0.2865

Substituting values into the formula for path difference

       y = 0.2 *10^{-3} sin(0.2864)  

       y = 9.997*10^{-7} \ m  

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

          \Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda }  * y

Substituting values        

         \Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{400 *10^{-9} }  \ * 9.997*10^{-7}

         \Delta \phi =5 \pi

Converting to degree

         \Delta \phi =5 \pi radians = 5 (180^o)  =  180^o  

the solution is subtracted by 360° in order to get the actual angle

How to calculate kinetic energy given mass and velocity
sashaice [31]

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

What is the angle of deviation in a plane mirror at normal incidence?​
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The deviation of a mirror is equal to twice the angle of incidence.The total angle between the straight-line path and the reflected ray is twice the angle of incidence. This is called the deviation of the light and measures the angle at which the light has strayed from its initial straight-line path.
