Using software, a simulation of a javelin being thrown both on Earth and on the moon is created. In both cases, the velocity and

angle of projection are kept the same. On Earth, the javelin covers a distance y. What distance would it cover on the moon? (The moon’s gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth.)

x =  (v_{0}) ^{2} *   \frac{sin 2 \alpha}{g} + x_{0}

If g goes down by a factor of 6, the distance x goes up by a factor of 6.

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth

A pendulum at position A is released and swings through position B to position Con the other side.
zaharov [31]

Explanation:

Given the conditions A,B and C when the pendulum is released, at point A the initial velocity of the pendulum is zero(0), the potential energy stored is maximum(P.E= max),

the conditions can be summarized bellow

point A

initial velocity= 0

final velocity=0

P.E= Max

K.E= 0

point B

initial velocity= maximum

final velocity=maximum

P.E=K.E

point C

initial velocity= min

final velocity=min

P.E= 0

K.E= max

The index of refraction of a transparent substance is 1.7, and the speed of light in air is 3.00 · 108 s. Calculate the speed of
Natalija [7]
Given the index of refraction, n and speed of light in the vacuum, c, we can solve for the speed of light in the transparent substance by the equation below.
                                                n = c / v
where v is our unknown.
Substituting the known values,
                                            1.7 = (3 x 10^8 m/s) / v
The value of v is equal to 1.76 x 10^8 m/s.

Light from a laser strikes a diffraction grating that has 5500 lines per centimeter. The central and first-order maxima are sepa
WINSTONCH [101]

.Answer:

491.4 nm

Explanation:

The distance between central and first maxima is,

y=0.455m

And the distance between screen abnd grating is,

L=1.62 m

Now the angle can be find as,

tan\theta=\frac{y}{L} \\\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{0.455}{1.62})  \\\theta=15.68^{\circ}

Now the grating distance is,

d=\frac{1}{5500} cm\\d=1.82\times 10^{-6}m

Now with m=1 condition will become,

\lambda=dsin\theta

So,

\lambda=1.82\times 10^{-6}m\times sin(15.68^{\circ})\\\lambda=1.82\times 10^{-6}m\times 0.270\\\lambda=491.4\times 10^{-9}m\\\lambda=491.4 nm

Therefore the wavelength of laser light is 491.4 nm.
