Velocity is the speed with a direction and speed does not have a specific direction

Well the difference between velocity and speed would be that velocity is basically speed with a direction with a vector assisting with it... and Speed would be distance traveled... I hoped that this helped. :)<span />

Which planet would float if placed in water
ikadub [295]

If placed in water Saturn would float. This is because it is mostly made up of gas, which is less dense than water.

A sound source is located somewhere along the x-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners
guapka [62]

Answer:

a)   x₀ = - 2 m  , b)     y = 4.47 m

Explanation:

A wave travels in the middle with constant speed, let's use the equation of uniform motion

    v = d / t

    t = d / v

The distance to the first listeners, see attached

    d₁ = x₀-x

     t = (x₀ +7) / v

The distance to the second listener

    d₂ = x - x₀

     t = (+ 3- x₀) / v

As the wave arrives at the same time, we can equal the two equations

     (x₀ +7) / v = (3 -x₀) / v

      x₀ + 7 = 3 - x₀

      2 x₀ = 3 - 7

      x₀ = -4/2

      x₀ = - 2 m

b) The time it takes for the wave to reach the listeners of the x-axis, where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

          t = 5/340

          t = 0.0147 s

Let's look for the distance the wave travels for the listener axis and

       v = d₃ / t

       d₃ = v.t

       d₃ = 340 * 0.0147

       d₃ = 5 m

For the distance component we use the Pythagorean triangle

      d₃² = x₀² + y²

      y² = d₃² - x₀²

     y = √ (d₃² -4)

      y = √ (5² -4)

     y = 4.47 m

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o
love history [14]

Answer:

13.51 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to use angle approximation that sin θ ≈ tan θ ≈ θ where our θ is in radians

y/L=tan θ ≈ θ

and ∆θ ≈∆y/L

Where ∆y= wavelength distance= 2.92 mm =0.00292m

L=screen distance= 2.40 m

=0.00292m/2.40m

=0.001217 rad

The grating spacing is d = (90000 lines/m)^−1

=1.11 × 10−5 m.

the small-angle

approx. Using difraction formula with m = 1 gives:

mλ = d sin θ ≈ dθ →

∆λ ≈ d∆θ = =1.11 × 10^-5 m×0.001217 rad

=0.000000001351m

= 13.51 nm
