Answer:

x is the displacement of spring

Explanation:

The Hooke's law gives the force acting on the spring when it is compressed or stretched. The mathematical expression for force is given by :

F=-kx

Where

k is the spring constant of and it shows the stiffness of spring.

x shows the displacement of spring when it is stretched or compressed from equilibrium position and it acts in opposite direction.

In a double slit experiment, 450 nm light passes through two slits producing an interference pattern where the first bright frin
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

\lambda = wavelength of the light = 450 nm = 450 x 10⁻⁹ m

n = order of the bright fringe = 1

θ = angle = 0.2°

d = separation between the slits

For bright fringe, Using the equation

d Sinθ = n \lambda

Inserting the values

d Sin0.2° = (1) (450 x 10⁻⁹)

d (0.003491) = (450 x 10⁻⁹)

d = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m

An observer sitting at a bus stop sees the bus drive by at 30 m/s to the east. He also sees a
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

32 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a bus is 30 m/s due East wrt the passenger

He also sees a  passenger on the bus walking to the back at 2 m/s.

We need to find the passenger's velocity relative  to the bus. As the observer sees that the bus and the passenger are moving in opposite direction. Let v is the relative velocity. So,

v = 30 m/s + 2 m/s

v = 32 m/s

Hence, the passenger's velocity relative  to the bus is 32 m/s.

An astronaut drops a hammer from 2.0 meters above the surface of the moon. if the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.57 s

Explanation:

Since the motion of the hammer is a uniformly accelerated motion, the distance covered by the hammer in a time t is

S=\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where, in this case

S = 2.0 m is the distance covered

a = 1.62 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the time the hammer takes:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.0 m)}{1.62 m/s^2}}=1.57 s
