A truck covers 40.0 m in 7.10 s while uniformly slowing down to a final velocity of 2.05 m/s.

Alona [7]4 years ago

Answer:

(A) Original speed= 9.22 m/s

(B) Acceleration= -1.0099 m\s^2

Explanation:

A truck covers 40m in 7.10 secs

The truck slows down at a uniform velocity of 2.05 m/s

(A) The original speed can be calculated as follows

Vo= 2(40)/7.10 - 2.05

= 80/7.10 - 2.05

= 11.2676 - 2.05

= 9.22m/s

(B) The acceleration can be calculated as follows

a= Vf-Vo/t

= 2.05-9.22/7.10

= -7.17/7.10

= -1.0099m/s^2

A shell of mass m and speed v explodes into two identical fragments. If the shell was moving horizontally (the positive x direct
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of original shell , m .

Velocity of shell , + v .

Now , the particle explodes into two half parts , i.e  \dfrac{m}{2} .

Since , no eternal force is applied in the particle .

Therefore , its momentum will be conserved .

So , Final momentum = Initial momentum

mv=\dfrac{mv}{2}+\dfrac{mu}{2}\\\\u=v

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

In Part 6.2.2, you will determine the wavelength of the laser by shining the laser beam on a "diffraction grating", a set of reg
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

λ = 2042 nm

Explanation:

given data

screen distance d = 11 m

spot s = 4.5 cm = 4.5 ×10^{-2} m

separation L = 0.5 mm = 0.5 ×10^{-3} m

to find out

what is λ

solution

we will find first angle between first max and central bright

that is tan θ = s/d

tan θ = 4.5 ×10^{-2}  / 11

θ = 0.234

and we know diffraction grating for max

L sinθ  = mλ

here we know m = 1  so put all value and find λ

L sinθ  = mλ

0.5 ×10^{-3}  sin(0.234)  = 1 λ

λ = 2042.02 ×10^{-9}  m

λ = 2042 nm

What evidence supports the ages of our planets, moon, sun, and asteroids
Pie

It is indeed true that scientists have known about the background radiation (commonly known as the Cosmic Microwave Background) since the early 60s. It was first discovered quite by accident by Penzias and Wilson working at Bell Labs, who detected it as an unexplainable interference in their precision radio equipment. When people finally figured out exactly what it was they were seeing, they won the Nobel Prize for their discovery. Only a few years before, George Gamow had predicted that if the Big Bang theory were correct, we should observe just such a background radiation. The CMB is not the only evidence in favor of the Big Bang, but it is one of the most important. It is a natural consequence of the theory, and is pretty unexplainable in steady-state cosmology.

The 15-20 billion year number comes not from the CMB, but rather predominantly from measurements of nearby and distant galaxies, particularly their rates of expansion away from us. We find that the distance to a galaxy is proportional to its recessional velocity. The constant of proportionality is the Hubble Constant, H, which turns out to be (approximately) the reciprocal of the age of the universe. So we measure the age by measuring recessional velocities. T = 1/H is only true, however, if the universe is not significantly accelerating or decelerating its expansion rate. If the rate of expansion is rapidly accelerating, the universe may be older than 1/H = 15 billion years, give or take. Such an acceleration would be caused by a large value of the Cosmological Constant, a sort of anti-gravity force predicted by General Relativity. There is some evidence that this might be the case.

So finally, yes, the age of the universe, being based on the empirical determination of H, is based on the observed evidence.

Where is the natural light display called aurora borealis located?
Xelga [282]

The natural light display called aurora borealis is located in the northern

hemisphere.

There are two types of aurora which are called aurora borealis and aurora

australis. The aurora borealis is located in the Northern hemisphere while

the aurora australis is located in the Southern hemisphere.

They receive their energy through the interaction of charged particles

on the Sun and Earth to produce the light display. An example

of the interaction involves solar wind with atoms of the upper atmosphere.
