8 0

Answer:

a) Linear equation

Explanation:

Definition of acceleration

a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\

if a=constant and we integrate the last equation

v(t)=v_{o}+a*t

So the relation between the time and the velocity is linear. If we plot the velocity in function of time, the plot is a line, and the acceleration is the slope of this line.

A total of 875 J of work was done when a force of 175 N was exerted on a box to move it. How far was the box moved
Vladimir [108]
Work = Force times Distance
W = Fd

Given W = 750J, F = 125N;

750 = 125d

Solving for d:
d = 750/125
d = 6

The box moved a distance of 6 meters.

A student pushes on a 20.0 kg box with a force of 50 N at an angle of 30° below the horizontal. The box accelerates at a rate of
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

"Below the horizontal" means he's pushing down at an angle.

Draw a free body diagram of the box.  There are three forces: normal force N pushing up, weight force mg pulling down, and the applied force F at an angle θ.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg − F sin θ = 0

N = F sin θ + mg

Plug in values:

N = (50 N) (sin 30°) + (20.0 kg) (10 m/s²)

N = 225 N

Coherent monochromatic light of wavelength l passes through a narrow slit of width a, and a diffraction pattern is observed on a
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

λ = a

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise that is described by the expression

          a sin θ = m λ

         sin θ  = m λ/ a

the first zero of the diffraction occurs for m = 1

        sin θ  = λ / a

 

angles are generally very small and are measured in radians

         sin θ  = θ  = y / x

we substitute

         \frac{y}{x}  = \frac{\lambda}{a}

the width of the central maximum is twice the distance to zero

         w = 2y

in the exercise indicate that this width is equal to twice the distance to the screen (2x)

          W = 2x

           2y = 2x

we substitute

          1 = λ/ a

          λ = a

we see that the width of the slit is equal to the wavelength used.
