kristine speeds past a parked police car at 32 m/s. The police car starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2.5 m/s^2. Ho

w much time passes before the police car overtakes Kristine's car?. How far does she travel before the police car overtakes her car?

$32 = 0 \times t + \frac{1}{2} \times 2.5 \times t^{2} \\ 32 = 0 + 1.25 \times t {}^{2} \\ 32 = 1.25t {}^{2} \\ \frac{32}{1.25} = \frac{1.25t {}^{2} }{1.25} \\ t {}^{2} = 25.6 \\ \sqrt{t {}^{2} } = \sqrt{25.6} \\ t = 5.1seconds \\$

Answer:

m = 63 grams

Explanation:

ω = 10 cycles/s(2π radians/cycle) = 20π rad/s

ω = √(k/m)

m = k/ω² = 250/(20π)² = 0.06332... kg

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is $\lambda_2 = 534 *10^{-9} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength of the first light is $\lambda _ 1 = 587 \ nm$

The order of the first light that is being considered is $m_1 = 10$

The order of the second light that is being considered is $m_2 = 11$

Generally the distance between the fringes for the first light is mathematically represented as

$y_1 = \frac{ m_1 * \lambda_1 * D}{d}$

Here D is the distance from the screen

and d is the distance of separation of the slit.

For the second light the distance between the fringes is mathematically represented as

$y_2 = \frac{ m_2 * \lambda_2 * D}{d}$

Now given that both of the light are passed through the same double slit

$\frac{y_1}{y_2} = \frac{\frac{m_1 * \lambda_1 * D}{d} }{\frac{m_2 * \lambda_2 * D}{d} } = 1$

=> $\frac{ m_1 * \lambda _1 }{ m_2 * \lambda_2} = 1$

=> $\lambda_2 = \frac{m_1 * \lambda_1}{m_2}$

=> $\lambda_2 = \frac{10 * 587 *10^{-9}}{11}$

=> $\lambda_2 = 534 *10^{-9} \ m$

a man stands in a lift going downward with uniform velocity. he experiences a loss of weight at the start but not when lift is i

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

It is explained in the explanation section

Explanation:

When the lift starts going downwards, it will start accelerating downwards. After a while, it will start moving with a constant velocity.

Constant velocity means that acceleration is zero and so the man will not feel any weight loss.

Now, Once the lift achieves constant velocity the acceleration is zero hence he will not experience any weight loss.

However, when the lift is in uniform motion, the lift and the man will fall down with an acceleration(a) that is less than that due to gravity(g) . Thus, the man will feel an apparent weight F which is not equal to zero.

What is the resultant of the vectors shown?

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Option A is the wrong answer because the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

Option C is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction and all the vectors are connected head to tail [of the arrows] [Triangle law of vector addition]

Option D is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.
