Answer:

A bowling ball stored on a high shelf has more potential energy

A base ball on the same shelf should rather fall on my head

Explanation:

Potential energy =mgh where m= mass, g= gravitational force and h is height

The bowling ball is bigger and heavier than the base ball

which means more mass . The remaining parameters are constant.

This means the bowling ball has more potential energy.

Since the base ball is lighter then it’s preferable to land on someone’s head due to the lesser force it will expert and lesser pain too.

Light of wavelength λ1 illuminates a double slit, and interference fringes are observed on a screen behind the slits. When the w
alex41 [277]

Answer:

λ2 < λ1

Explanation:

- Young's experiment of interference of light when passed through a slit has determined a result. We will use an expression derived from the results that relates wavelength and and the spread of the interference pattern using:

                                            sin (Q) = n*lambda / d

Where,

n is the order of fringe about the central order

lambda is the wavelength of light

d is the space between grating

Q is the angle between the two successive interference fringe

- So in our case using a light of wavelength lambda 2 the pattern got closer together or we could say that angle Q got smaller. According to the relationship given we can see as angle Q decreases when lambda decreases. So we can conclude that  λ2 < λ1.

What is f if you have an object 2.0 m from the concave mirror, and the image is 4.0 m from the mirror?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

the f is 1.3 m

Explanation:

Given that

An object 2.0m is from the concave mirror

And, the image is 4.0m from the mirror

We need to find out the f

So,

u = -2 m

v = -4 m

1 ÷ f = 1 ÷ v + 1 ÷ u

= (-1 ÷ 4) + (-1 ÷ 2)

= -3 ÷4

f = -4 ÷ 3

= |1.3| m

Hence, the f is 1.3 m
