consider the motion in x-direction
= initial velocity in x-direction = ?
X = horizontal distance traveled = 100 m
= acceleration along x-direction = 0 m/s²
t = time of travel = 4.60 sec
Using the equation
X =
t + (0.5)
t²
100 =
(4.60)
= 21.7 m/s
consider the motion along y-direction
= initial velocity in y-direction = ?
Y = vertical displacement = 0 m
= acceleration along x-direction = - 9.8 m/s²
t = time of travel = 4.60 sec
Using the equation
Y =
t + (0.5)
t²
0 =
(4.60) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.60)²
= 22.54 m/s
initial velocity is given as
= sqrt((
)² + (
)²)
= sqrt((21.7)² + (22.54)²) = 31.3 m/s
direction: θ = tan⁻¹(22.54/21.7) = 46.12 deg
Answer:
- path differnce = 2.18*10^-6
- 1538 lines
Explanation:
- The path difference for the waves that produce the pattern of diffraction, is given by the following formula:
(1)
d: separation between slits = 0.50mm = 0.50*10^-3 m
θ: angle of a diffraction = 0.25°
Then, the path difference is:

- The maximum number of bright lines are calculated by using the following formula:
(2)
m: order of the bright
λ: wavelength = 650nm
The maximum bright is calculated for an angle of 90°:

The maxium number of bright lines are twice the previous result, that is, 1538 lines
a) uniform velocity
b) zero or no acceleration
c) (see picture)
EXPLANATION:
(see picture)
Given parameters;
Time taken to complete a lap = 8.667s
Radius of flower = 13.9cm
convert to SI unit of m, 100cm = 1m
13.9cm gives
= 0.139m
Unknown = speed
To solve this problem, we need to first find the circumference of the flower.
Circumference of the circular flower = 2 π r
where r is the radius of the flower;
Circumference = 2 x 3.142 x 0.139 = 0.87m
Now to find the how fast the bug is travelling,
Speed = 
Since the bug covered 1 lap, the distance is 0.87m
Now input the parameters and solve for speed;
Speed =
= 0.1m/s
The bug is travelling at a speed of 0.1m/s
