GETTING TIMED PLS HELP! Do the runners in the picture above represent kinetic or potential energy? you need to explain why.

Physics

Answer:

<em>They represent kinetic energy</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

A body can do work due to some of its attributes or states. For example, its mass can do work if used to provide energy, if the object is at a certain height respect to some reference level, it can do work when going downwards (potential energy), if the object moves at a certain speed, it can do work when transferring part of its speed to other objects. It's called kinetic energy and is given by

\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

Both runners are moving in a horizontal path, thus they have kinetic energy, given by the above equation. If they could jump below ground level, then they will also have potential energy

Monochromatic light of wavelength 687 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 1.65 m away, the distance between the second
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a ) 1.267 radian

b ) 1.084 10⁻³ mm

Explanation:

Distance of screen D = 1.65 m

Width of slit d = ?

Wave length of light   λ  = 687 nm.

Distance of second minimum fro centre y = 2.09 cm

Angle of diffraction = y / D

=  2.09 /1.65  

= 1.267. radian

Angle of diffraction of second minimum

= 2 λ / d

so 2 λ / d = 1.267

d = 2 λ / 1.267 = (2 x 687 ) /1.267 nm

=1084.45 nm = 1.084 x 10⁻³ mm.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Angle of incidence that entered material b= 63.1°

Angle of incidence between a and b = 55.9°

Explanation: Using the formular:

n1sintheta1= n2sintheta2

The light ray which enters material B will be

1.4Sin72.8° = 1.5Sin theta

1.3373= 1.5Sintheta

sintheta = 1.3373/1.5

Sin^-1 0.8916 = Theta

63.1 = theta

When the ray hits interface with material a

1.5Sin63.1 = 1.3 Sin theta

1.3374 = 1.3Sin theta

Sintheta= 1.3374/1.3

Sin theta = 1.0877

There will be total reflection off the boundary b c because sin theta exceeded 1 in value.

The equation should be

1.4sin63.1 = 1.4 sin theta

Sin theta=72.8°

When the ray hits air-c boundary:

1.4sin72.8=1.00sin theta

Sin theta=1.3374/1 =1.3374

There is total reflection.

In material a,the ray will:

1.3sin72.8° = 1.00sin theta

There will be total reflection when the ray hits a-b boundary.

1.3sin72.8= 1.5sintheta

Sin theta= 1.2419/ 1.5

Sin theta =0.8279

Theta= Sin^-10.8279= 55.88°

When ray hits c-air boundary

1.4sin63.1= 1.00sintheta

1.2485= sin theta = Toal reflection.

Therefore when the ray of light pass through the layers of material a, b and c the boundary with air on top and bottom will be total reflection.
