A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope as it starts down the slope its speed is 4m/s but 3 seconds

later at the bottom of the slope its speed is 22m/s what is its average acceleration

Answer:

The acceleration is 6 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

We can find the acceleration of the roller coaster using the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion.

$v_{f} =v_{i} + a*t\\where:\\v_{f} = final velocity = 22 [m/s]\\v_{i} = initial velocity = 4 [m/s]\\t = time = 3 [s]\\$

Now replacing the values we have:

$a=\frac{v_{f} - v_{i} }{t} \\a=\frac{22 - 4 }{3}\\a = 6 [m/s^{2} ]$

If both mass and speed are doubled, what happens to its momentum?

puteri [66]

The general formula is: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

I never like to just write a bunch of algebra without explaining it.
But in this particular case, there's really not much to say, and
I think the algebra will pretty well explain itself. I hope so:

Original momentum = (original mass) x (original speed)

New momentum = (2 x original mass) x (2 x original speed)

   = (2) x (original mass) x (2) x (original speed)

   = (2) x (2) x (original mass) x (original speed)

   = (4) x (original mass) x (original speed)

   = (4) x (original momentum).

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 571nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength, $\lambda=571 nm=571\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

R=75 cm= $\frac{75}{100}=0.75 m$

1 m=100 cm

$d=0.640 mm=0.64\times 10^{-3} m$

$1 mm=10^{-3} m$

$a=0.434 mm=0.434\times 10^{-3} m$

$y=0.830 mm=0.830\times 10^{-3} m$

$I_0=5.00\times 10^{-4}W/m^2$

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{R}$

$\theta=\frac{0.830\times 10^{-3}}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}$

$\theta=1.1\times 10^{-3}rad$

$tan\theta\approx \theta$

Because $\theta$ is small.

$\phi=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}$

$\sin\theta\approx \theta$ ,

Therefore

$\phi=\frac{2\times\pi\times 0.64\times 10^{-3}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}}{571\times 10^{-9}}$

$\phi=7.74 rad$

$\beta=\frac{2\pi a\theta}{\lambda}$

$\beta=5.3 rad$

$I=I_0cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}{\frac{\beta}{2}})^2$

$I=5\times 10^{-4}cos^2(\frac{7.74}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{5.3}{2}}{\frac{5.3}{2}})^2$

$I=8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

X-rays with frequency 3 ⨉ 10 18 Hz shine on a crystal, producing an interference pattern. If the first bright spot is observed a

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Explanation:

n = Order = 1

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

f = Frequency = $3\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

$\theta$ = Angle = $75.5^{\circ}$

Lattice spacing is given by

$d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{2\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{n\times c}{f2\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{1\times 3\times 10^{8}}{3\times 10^{18}\times 2\times \sin75.5^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow d=5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The lattice spacing of the crystal is $5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m$
