Answer:

The kinetic energy when the film vault landed is 12744000J.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is defined as:

k_{e} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  (1)

Where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

By means of equation 1, the kinetic energy of the film vault when it landed can be determined

k_{e} = \frac{1}{2}(1770kg)(120m/s)^{2}  

But 1 J = kg.m^{2}/s^{2}

k_{e} = 12744000J

Hence, the kinetic energy when the film vault landed is 12744000J.

How many significant digits are in the number 204.0920<br>​
monitta

Answer:

Seven

Explanation:

The rules for significant digits are:

  • Non-zero digits are always significant.
  • Zeros between significant digits are also significant.
  • Trailing zeros are significant only after a decimal point.

Here, the 2, 4, 9, and 2 are significant because they are non-zero digits.

The first two 0s are significant because they are between significant digits.

The last 0 is significant because it is a trailing zero after a decimal point.

Therefore, all seven digits are significant.

The interference pattern seen when light passes through narrow, closely spaced slits, is due to
Lelu [443]
<h2>Answer: Diffraction</h2><h2 />

Diffraction  is a characteristic phenomenon that occurs in all types of waves .

In this sense,  <u>diffraction</u> happens when a wave (the light in this case) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the light bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming <u><em>multiple patterns</em></u> with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength. </u>
