driving down the highway , you find yourself behind a heavily loaded tomato truck. you follow close behind the truck keeping the

same speed. suddenly a tomato falls from the back of the struck. will the tomato hit your car or land on the road assuming you continue moving the same speed and direction.

Answer:

The tomato won't hit the car

Explanation:

According to the statement, the car moves at constant speed behind the truck fully loaded with tomatoes, and in the same direction. When a tomato falls from the top of the truck, it should not hit the car as the tomato falls due to the force of gravity, while horizontally has the same speed and in the same direction as the truck.  So we assume that the tomato will fall to the road without touching the car.

Have a nice day!

Light of wavelength 580 nm is incident on a slit of width 0.30 mm. An observing screen is placed 2.0 m past the slit. Find the d
uysha [10]

Answer:

Y = 3.87 x 10⁻³ m = 3.87 mm

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using Young's double-slit experiment formula:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}

where,

Y = fringe spacing = ?

L = slit to screen distance = 2 m

λ = wavelength of light = 580 nm = 5.8 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit width = 0.3 mm = 3 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

Y = \frac{(5.8\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{3\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>Y = 3.87 x 10⁻³ m = 3.87 mm</u>

A sample contains 110 g of a radioactive isotope. how much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time such that the initial amount of the isotope is reduced to its half.

Thus, if we start with A grams of a given radioactive isotope, after a 1 half-life, we will have A/2 grams of the radioactive isotope.

In this case, we know that the sample has 110g of a radioactive isotope.

Then, after 1 half-life, we should have half of 110g, which is:

110g/2 = 55g

Then we should have 55 g of a radioactive isotope.

The answer that is closer to this result is option d (50 g), so that is the correct one.

Masja [62]

B. The meaning of 'atomos' according to Democritus in 450 BCE is indivisible.

<h3>The building block of every matter</h3>

A Greek philosopher  known as Democritus first thought of the existence of tiny particles that compose everything around us.

Democritus of Abdera, named the building blocks of matter atomos, meaning literally “indivisible.

Thus, the meaning of 'atomos' according to Democritus in 450 BCE is indivisible.

Calculate the wavelength of 26 GeV electrons. Express your answer using two significant figures. λ = m
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

4.78 x 10^-17 m

Explanation:

E = 26 GeV

First convert GeV into J

1 GeV = 1.6 x 10^-10 J

E = 26 x 1.6 x 10^-10 = 41.6 x 10^-10 J

Use the formula for energy

E = h c / λ

Where, h is the Plank's constant and λ be the wavelength and c be the velocity of light.

λ = h c / E

λ = ( 6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (41.6 x 10^-10)

λ = 4.78 x 10^-17 m

If the rest energies of a positive sigma particle and a lambda particle are 1189.4 and 1115.7 Mev respectively, what is the diff
Lunna [17]

Answer:

1.31022×10⁻³⁴ kg

Explanation:

Difference in energies = 1189.4-1115.7 MeV = 73.7 MeV

Convert this energy to Joules

1 MeV = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

73.7 MeV = 73.7×1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J = 117.92×10⁻¹⁹ J

c = Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

From Einstein's equation

E = mc²

m=\frac{E}{c^2}\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{117.92\times 10^{-19}}{(3\times 10^8)^2}\\\Rightarrow m=1.31022\times 10^{-34}\ kg

∴ Difference in their masses is 1.31022×10⁻³⁴ kg
