Answer:

C. newtons/meter

Explanation:

To find the units of spring constant you can use the hook's law, which says,

F = k × x where

F = force (unit Newton)

k = spring constant

x = expansion or contraction ( unit m)

So by this equation you can get that

k = F / X

So you get the units as N/m

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

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

$\phi=7.74 rad$

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

$\beta=5.3 rad$

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

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

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

Until a train is a safe distance from the station, it must travel at 5 m/s. Once the train is on open track, it can speec

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

let the initial velocity of a train = 5 m/s and

final velocity of a train = 45 m/s

time taken = 8 s

To find:

acceleration: ?

Solution:

We define acceleration as change in velocity per unit time that is the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity divided by time.

$Acceleration = \frac{\textrm{final velocity} - \textrm{initial velocity}}{time} \\$

On substituting the above values we get the required acceleration

$Acceleration = \frac{45 - 5}{8}\\ =\frac{40}{8}\\ =5\ m/s^{2}$

Therefore,the acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².
