An ice skater starts with a velocity of 2.25 m/s in a 50.0 degree direction. After 8.33s, she is moving 4.65 m/s in a 120 degree

direction. What is the y-component of her acceleration? PLEASE HELP

The y-component of the acceleration is $0.22 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The y-component of the acceleration is given by

$a_y = \frac{v_y-u_y}{t}$

where

$v_y$ is the y-component of the final velocity

$u_y$ is the y-component of the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

For the ice skater in this problem, we have:

u = 2.25 m/s is the initial velocity, in a direction $\theta=50.0^{\circ}$

v = 4.65 m/s is the final velocity, in a direction $120^{\circ}$

t = 8.33 s is the time elapsed

The y-components of the initial and final velocity are:

$u_y = u sin \theta = (2.25)(sin 50^{\circ})=1.72 m/s\\v_y = v sin \theta = (4.65)(sin 50^{\circ})=3.56 m/s$

So the y-component of the acceleration is

$a_y = \frac{3.56-1.72}{8.33}=0.22 m/s^2$

A laser emits two wavelengths (λ1 = 420 nm; λ2 = 630 nm). When these two wavelengths strike a grating with 450 lines/mm, they pr

Westkost [7]

A) Order of the first laser: 3, order of the second laser: 2

B) The overlap occurs at an angle of $34.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

A)

The formula that gives the position of the maxima (bright fringes) for a diffraction grating is

$d sin \theta = m \lambda$

where

d is spacing between the lines in the grating

$\theta$ is the angle of the maximum

m is the order of diffraction

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

For laser 1,

$d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1$

For laser 2,

$d sin \theta = m_2 \lambda_2$

where

$\lambda_1 = 420 nm\\\lambda_2 = 630 nm$

Since the position of the maxima in the two cases overlaps, then the term $d sin \theta$ on the left is the same for the two cases, therefore we can write:

$m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda_2\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{630}{420}=\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore:

$m_1 = 3$

$m_2 = 2$

B)

In order to find the angle at which the overlap occurs, we use the 1st laser situation:

$d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1$

where:

N = 450 lines/mm = 450,000 lines/m is the number of lines per unit length, so the spacing between the lines is

$d=\frac{1}{N}=\frac{1}{450,000}=2.2\cdot 10^{-6} m$

$m_1 = 3$ is the order of the maximum

$\lambda_1 = 420 nm = 420\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the laser light

Solving for $\theta$ , we find the angle of the maximum:

$sin \theta = \frac{m_1 \lambda_1}{d}=\frac{(3)(420\cdot 10^{-9})}{2.2\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.572$

So the angle is

$\theta=sin^{-1}(0.572)=34.9^{\circ}$

A man on the moon throws a ball vertically upwards and it is noticed that the ball travels 3.0m less in the fifth second of its

sdas [7]

<h2>Acceleration due to gravity in moon is 1.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Here the ball travels 3 m less distance in fifth second compared to third second.

That is

s₃ = s₅ + 3

Now we have

Distance traveled in third second, s₃ = u x 3 - 0.5 x g x 3² - u x 2 - 0.5 x g x 2²

s₃ = u - 2.5 g

Also

Distance traveled in fifth second, s₅ = u x 5 - 0.5 x g x 5² - u x 4 - 0.5 x g x 4²

s₅ = u - 4.5 g

That is

u - 2.5 g = u - 4.5 g + 3

2 g = 3

g = 1.5 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity in moon = 1.5 m/s²

valina [46]

Answer:

s^ -1 ( or 1/sec)

Explanation:

Velocity is given in units of displacement / sec

like feet /sec or m/sec

so b would have units of s^-1

(or perhaps a more general term would be time^-1)
