You're conducting a physics experiment on another planet. You drop a rock from a height of 2.1 m and it hits the ground 0.6 seco

nds later. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?
A. 7.0 m/s2
B. 9.8 m/s2
C. 11.7 m/s2
D. 5.2 m/s2

(What formula should I use to solve this on my own?)

The formula to use is the one that connects the acceleration,
the distance fallen, and the time spent falling:

         Distance = 1/2 a T² .

You said  2.1 meters in 0.6 second .

                                                         2.1 m              = 1/2 a  (0.6 sec)²

Multiply each side by  2 :                  4.2 m              =       a (0.6 sec)²

Divide each side by (0.6 sec)² =     (4.2/0.36) m/s² =        a

                                                         a = (11 and 2/3) m/s²

                                        (about 19% more than Earth's gravity)

Light of wavelength 559 nm is used to illuminate normally two glass plates 22.1 cm in length that touch at one end and are separ
umka21 [38]

Answer:

M = 222 fringes

Explanation:

given

λ = 559 n m = 559 × 10⁻⁹ m

radius = 0.026 mm = 0.026 ×10⁻³ m

length of the glass plate = 22.1 ×10⁻² m

using relation

2t=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda\ \ (m=0,1,2,3...)\\where\ 0\leq t\leq 2r\\m = \dfrac{2t}{\lambda}-\dfrac{1}{2}

m_{max} = \dfrac{2\times 2r}{\lambda}-\dfrac{1}{2}\\m_{max} = \dfrac{2\times 2\times 0.026\times 10^{-3}}{559\times 10^{-9}}-\dfrac{1}{2}

 = 221.79  

 = 221 (approx.)

hence no of bright fringe

M = m + 1

   = 221 +1

M = 222 fringes

A river flows with a speed of 0.600 m/s. A student first swims upriver 0.500 km, then turns around and returns to his starting p
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a) 1111.0 seconds

b) 833.3 s

c) Because of proportions

Explanation:

a) Total time of round trip is the sum of time upriver and time downriver

t_{total}=t_{up}+t_{down}

Time upriver is calculated with the net speed of student and 0.500 km:

t_{up}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=v_{relative to river}+v_{river}=-1.2+0.6=-0.6 m/s\\t_{up}=\frac{500 m}{0.6 m/s}=833.3 s

(Becareful with units 0.5 km= 500m) Similarly of downriver:

t_{down}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=1.2+0.6=1.8 m/s\\t_{down}=\frac{500 m}{1.8 m/s}=277.7 s

So the sum is:

t_{total}=1111.0s

b) Still water does not affect student speed, so total time would be simply:

t_{total}=\frac{1000 m}{1.2 m/s}=833.3 s

c) For the upriver trip, student moved half the distance in half speed of the calculation in b), so it kept the same ratio and therefore, same time. So the aditional time is actually the downriver.
