Explanation:

Speed has only magnitude.

Velocity has magnitude and direction.

"A bike goes 25 m/s toward main street."

This includes a direction, so it is velocity (V).

"A person walks 4 mph."

This has only magnitude, so it is speed (S).

"A plane flies 200 m/s."

This has only magnitude, so it is speed (S).

"A bird flies 100 mph due south."

This includes a direction, so it is velocity (V).

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence $\lambda$ = 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$ , here t is thickness, $\lambda$ is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values $t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm$

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Illustrate a body of mass 5.0kg pulled by horizontal force F . if the body accelerates 2.0ms² and experience a frictional force

Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

a. Net force is mass times acceleration (Newton's second law).

∑F = ma

∑F = (5.0 kg) (2.0 m/s²)

∑F = 10 N

b. The net force is the sum of the individual forces.

10 N = F − 5 N

F = 15 N

c. Friction force here is mgμ.

mgμ = 5 N

(5.0 kg) (10 m/s) μ = 5 N

μ = 0.1

Find the electric energy density between the plates of a 225-μF parallel-plate capacitor. The potential difference between the p

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Energy density will be 14.73 $J/m^3$

Explanation:

We have given capacitance $C=225\mu F=225\times 10^{-6}F$

Potential difference between the plates = 365 V

Plate separation d = 0.200 mm $0.2\times 10^{-3}m$

We know that there is relation between electric field and potential

$E=\frac{V}{d}$ , here E is electric field, V is potential and d is separation between the plates

So $E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{365}{0.2\times 10^{-3}}=1825000N/C$

Energy density is given by $E=\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon _0E^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times (1.825\times 10^6)^2=14.73J/m^3$
