Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity on zarth = 0.8m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8m/s^2

We know that time taken(t) by an object to fall a distance (d) is given by

t = \sqrt{ (2d/g)}

We are given the height from which the ball is dropped = 10m and the time taken by the ball to fall = 5.0s

So, substituting the given values

d = height of dropping the ball = 10m, t = 5.0 s

i.e. time taken for fall ,in the equation,

t^2 = 2d/g

g= 20/5^2 = 20/25 = 0.8

Therefore (g) = 0.8m/s^2 which gives the acceleration due to gravity on planet Zarth.

Answer:

0.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of an object in free fall is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can analyze it using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s is the vertical displacement

u is the initial velocity

t is the time of flight

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the ball dropped in this problem,

s = 10 m

t = 5.0 s

u = 0

Therefore, solving the equation for g, we find the acceleration due to gravity:

g=\frac{2s}{t^2}=\frac{2(10)}{5^2}=0.8 m/s^2

What is the mass of an object that weighs 686N on Earth?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

70 kg is the mass of the object

Explanation:

This question can be solved with this simple formula:

Weight force = mass . gravity

686 N = mass . 9.8 m/s²

686 N /  9.8 m/s² = mass → 70 kg

Note → 1N = 1 kg . m / s²

In a double slit experiment, if the separation between the two slits is 0.050 mm and the distance from the slits to a screen is
meriva

The spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes is 3 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

<h3>What is double slit experiment?</h3>

The double-slit experiment serves as a proof in current physics that both light and matter may exhibit properties of classically defined waves and particles. It also illustrates the inherently probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical events. Thomas Young carried out the first experiment of this kind employing light in 1802, illustrating how light behaves like a wave. It was formerly believed that light was made up of either waves or particles. About a century later, with the advent of modern physics, it was discovered that light may in fact exhibit behaviour like that of both waves and particles. The identical behaviour of electrons was first shown by Davisson and Germer in 1927, and it was later extended to atoms and molecules.

The separation between the slits, d = 0.05mm = 5×10⁻⁵ m

The distance from the slits to a screen, D = 2.5 m

Let x is the spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes when coherent light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates the slits,

λ = 600nm = 6× 10⁻⁷ m  

We know that the bright fringe is given by :

y = nλD/d

So, the spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes is :

x = 2λD/d - λD/d

x =  λD/d

x = 6 × 10⁻⁷ × 2.5/5 × 10⁻⁵

x = 0.03 m

or

x = 3 cm

So, the spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes is 3 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe and give an example of mutualism.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, competition, and predation.

Explanation:

mutualism- relationship between two or more organisms where both are benefited. Example-oxpecker with rhino/zebra. They eat bugs off of them which means that they are getting food, while the rhino/zebra are getting cleaned up with pest control.

commensalism- relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other isn't benefited or harmed. EX- tree frogs use plants as protectioin.he frog is benefited, and the plant is neither harmed nor benefited. Remora fish have a disk on their heads that they use to attach themselves to larger animals for protection. The animals they attach to are neither harmed nor benefited.  

parasitism- in a relationship where an organism benefits at the expense of the other. (one is benefited while the other is harmed) ex- fleas and ticks that live on cats and dogs, tape worms that live in people and animals that eat the food which means that the people aren't getting the food or nutrition that they eat. lice, etc

competition- interaction within organisms/species in which both the organisms/species are harmed and is apart of natural selection. Examples may include two males fighting over a mate, animals competing over food, limited habitats that they are fighting over, territory, etc.

predation- the preying of one animal on another. It's where the predator hunts and eats another organism which is its prey. categorized within-(1) carnivory, (2) herbivory, (3) parasitism, and (4) mutualism. Each type of predation can by categorized based on whether or not it results in the death of the prey.ex- owls hunting mice, wolves hunting rabbits, lion hunting gazelle, etc.
