What two forces act on a falling object ?

Physics

Answer:

The two forces acting on the object are weight due to gravity pulling the object towards earth, and drag resisting this motion. When the object is first released, drag is small as velocity is low, so the resultant force is down. This means the object accelerates towards earth.

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m$

(a) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}$

$\theta=0.104^{\circ}$

(b) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta=10.47^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

How much does coast to coast membership cost?

CaHeK987 [17]

The price of coast to coast membership in united states could lie anywhere between $2,000 to $ 5,000
Unless you're a frequent user of this type of event, i think it would be economically more efficient if you pay the resort on one-day price

Reika [66]

Answer:

The boats are 934.65 feet apart

Explanation:

Given:

The angles of depression to the two boats are 42 degrees and 29 degrees

Height of the observation deck i = 1,353 feet

To Find:

How far apart are the boats (y )= ?

Solution:

Step 1 : Finding the value of x(Refer the figure attached)

We can use the tangent ratio to find the x value

$tan(42^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{x}$

$x = \frac{1353}{tan(42^{\circ}) }$

x = 590.47 feet

Step 2 : Finding the value of z (Refer the figure attached)

$tan(29^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{z }$

$z = \frac{1353}{tan(29^{\circ})}$

z = 1525.12 feet

Step 3 : Finding the value of y (Refer the figure attached)

y = z -x

y = 1525.12 - 590.47

y = 934.65 feet

Thus the two boats are 934.65 feet apart

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Follows are the explanation to this question:

Explanation:

In this solution, it is defined that there are two principal motions for the moon, which are its revolution as well as rotation. In such a movement called revolution, its Moon is relocating around the Earth, in which the approximate movement of the moon from around earth has an average movement of about 13.2° per day, or 92 degrees every week, that's once in 27.3 days.
