What is the kinetic energy of an object moving 40m/s with a mass of 20kg?

Svet_ta [14]

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = 16,000 Joules

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh

kkurt [141]

Answer:

t = 120.5 nm

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of the oil = 1.4

wavelength of the red light = 675 nm

minimum thickness of film = ?

formula used for the constructive interference

$2 n t = (m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda$

where n is the refractive index of oil

t is thickness of film

for minimum thickness

m = 0

$2 \times 1.4 \times t = (0+\dfrac{1}{2})\times 675$

$t = \dfrac{0.5\times 675}{2\times 1.4}$

t = 120.5 nm

hence, the thickness of the oil is t = 120.5 nm

Which insurance would contradict the big bang theory

n200080 [17]

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe is constantly expanding and that stars, galaxies and other entities are moving away from each other. If there were a galaxy moving closer to earth then that would contradict the Big Bang theory since the entities should be moving away from earth and from each other.
