Answer:

.7917 m/s

Explanation:

This is a conservation of momentum question. You have an object initially at rest (cart) so that object is initially at 0 momentum. Indiana Jones is 83.5 kg and running 3.75 m/s so he starts with a momentum of 313.125 kg * m/s because momentum is equal to mass * velocity. Once the person jumps in the cart, the cart and the person can be considered one object and by conservation of momentum, the momentum of the Indiana-cart system is equal to 313.125 kg * m/s. By that, we can set that momentum equal to the combined mass * joint velocity. So 313.125 = (83.5kg + 312kg) * joint velocity. Then just solve for the velocity. The answer should be smaller than the intial velocity of the person of 3.75 m/s because the mine cart is HUGE at 312kg.

Driving at a safe speed is particularly important because kinetic energy __________.
oksian1 [2.3K]
The correct answer is
<span>b. increases with the square of speed

In fact, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
</span>K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
<span>where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed, therefore option B is the correct one.</span>

Light of wavelength 608.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 88.5 cm from the slit.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The width of the slit is 0.167 mm

Explanation:

Wavelength of light, \lambda=608\ nm=608\times 10^{-9}\ m

Distance from screen to slit, D = 88.5 cm = 0.885 m

The distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is 1.61 cm, y = 1.61 cm = 0.0161 m

We need to find the width of the slit. The formula for the distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is :

y=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{a}

where

a = width of the slit

a=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{y}

a=\dfrac{5\times 0.885\ m\times 608\times 10^{-9}\ m}{0.0161\ m}

a = 0.000167 m

a=1.67\times 10^{-4}\ m

a = 0.167 mm

So, the width of the slit is 0.167 mm. Hence, this is the required solution.
