Answer:

distance = 6 m

Explanation:

- Distance is a scalar quantity (so, only magnitude, no direction), and it is calculated as the scalar sum of all the distances travelled by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction. So, in this problem, the distance covered by the pinecone is

d = 4 m + 2 m = 6 m

- Displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude+direction), and its magnitude is calculate as the distance in a straight line between the final position and the initial position of the object. In this case, the final position is 2 m west and the initial position is 0 m, so the displacement of the pinecone is

d = 2 m west - 0 m = 2 m west

So, a scalar quantity from this scenario is

distance = 6 m

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.230 mm, and a screen is placed 4.75 m from the slits. If the bright

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$7.55\times 10^{-7} m$

Explanation:

We are given that

d=0.23 mm= $0.23\times 10^{-3} m$

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

Screen is placed from the slits at distance ,L=4.75 m

The bright interference fringes on the screen are separated by 1.56 cm.

$\Delta y=1.56 cm=1.56\times 10^{-2} m$

1 m=100 cm

We have to find the wavelength of laser light.

We know that

$\Delta y=\frac{\lambda L}{d}$

Substitute the values

$1.56\times 10^{-2}=\frac{\lambda\times 4.75}{0.23\times 10^{-3}}$

$\lambda=\frac{1.56\times 10^{-2}\times 0.23\times 10^{-3}}{4.75}$

$\lambda=7.55\times 10^{-7} m$

If the torque required to loosen a nut that is holding a flat tire in place on a car has a magnitude of 33 N · m, what minimum f

Setler [38]

Answer:

The minimum force that must be exerted by the mechanic at the end of a 30 cm-long wrench to loosen the nut is 110N

Explanation:

Torque = Fd sin θ

For a torque, the minimum force must be applied perpendicular to the lever arm, so that θ = 90° and sin θ = sin 90° = 1

Torque = 33 N.m

F = Force applied = ?

d = 30 cm = 0.3 m

F = Torque/d = 33/0.3 = 110 N
