Answer:

1 : 2 cm/km  or \frac{1}{2} \, \frac{cm}{km}

One cm represents 2 km.

Explanation:

If 3 cm represents 6 km on the earth, the ratio to consider is: 3 : 6  cm/km which is the same as:  

1 : 2 cm/km  or \frac{1}{2} \, \frac{cm}{km}

One cm represents 2 km.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

NEED IT ASAP PLEASE 3 examples of how we use physics in our everyday life. Please explain throughly.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

  1. Alarm Clock. The buzzing sound of an alarm clock helps you wake up in the morning as per your schedule. The sound is something that you can’t see, but hear or experience.
  2. Cell Phones Cellphones have become like Oxygen gas in modern social life. Hardly, anyone would have been untouched by the effects of a cell phone. Whether conveying any urgent message or doing incessant gossips, cellphones are everywhere. But do you know how does a cell phone work? It works on the principle of electricity and the electromagnetic spectrum, undulating patterns of electricity and magnetism.
  3. Walking.Now, when you get ready for your office/school, whatever medium of commutation is, you certainly have to walk up to a certain distance. You can easily walk is just because of Physics. While you have a walk in a park or on a tar road, you have a good grip without slipping because of a sort of roughness or resistance between the soles of your shoes and the surface of the road.

Explanation:

physical is related to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind; tangible or concrete.

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

wavelength \lambda = 437.27 nm

Explanation:

given data

first bright fringe = 2.96 mm

slit separation = 0.325 mm

distance D = 2.20 m

solution

we know that this is double slit experiment

so we apply here Fringe width formula that is

β = \frac{D\lambda}{d}    ....................1

\lambda is Wavelength of light and  D is Distance between screen and slit and d is slit width

so put here value and we get

\lambda = \frac{2.96*0.325*10^{-6}}{2.20}    

\lambda = 437.27 × 10^{-9} m

wavelength \lambda = 437.27 nm
