Answer:

The car's initial velocity is 195.96 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

the length of the mark, x = 9.6 km = 9600 m

acceleration of the car, a = -2 m/s²

Apply the kinematic equation below

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final velocity = 0

u is the initial velocity

simplify the equation and you will obtain;

0 = u² + 2ax

0 = u² + 2(-2)(9600)

0 = u² - 38400

u² = 38400

u = √38400

u = 195.96 m/s

Therefore, the car's initial velocity is 195.96 m/s

Kruka [31]
Einstein's theory of General Relativity states that space-time is able to be warped in the presence of mass or energy.  This warping is what "tells" matter how to move in its presence.  In the paraphrased words of physicist John Wheeler, matter tells space-time how to warp, and warped space-time tells matter how to move.

A small compass is placed near a current-carrying wire. The wire is vertical, and the compass is on a horizontal surface. The re
azamat

Answer:

The direction of magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire is given by the right hand thumb rule. If the thumb points in the direction of current the fingers curl along the direction of magnetic field.

further, The red end of the compass needle points in the direction of external magnetic field. As the red end of the needle is pointing away from us, the external magnetic field at its location should also be directed away from us. Using the right hand thumb rule, we can see that this is only possible if the current in the wire is flowing upwards.

9. Name an object that has a great mass but has a small volume​
larisa [96]
ANY DENSE OBJECT

A mathematical equation for density is: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v. If something has a large mass compared to its volume, it has a high density. This is like a set of weights which can be small but heavy. But if an object has a small mass compared to its volume it has a lower density.

Pls give me a brainliest if this helps thx

In a double-slit interference experiment you are asked to use laser light of different wavelengths and determine the separation
Natali [406]

Answer:

y = m λ L / d

must use lasers of greater wavelength

Explanation:

The expression for the constructive interference of a double slit is

           d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry to find the angle

          tan θ = y / L

in interference phenomena the angles are small

         tan θ= sin θ/ cos θ = sin θ

         sin θ = y / L

we subjugate

         d y / L = m λ

         y = m λ L / d

In this expression we see that the separation of the lines (and) increases linearly with the wavelength, therefore we must use lasers of greater wavelength
