Net force acting on mass = 20 - 15 = 5N. ( subtracted cuz friction always opposes the motion i.e it always acts in direction opposite to the motion of the object). According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, F(net) = ma. a =F (net) / m = 5/10 = 0.5 m/s^2. Hope it helps :)

distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 nm.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth is 3.09\times 10^6\ m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

(a) Wavelength emitted by light at distant galaxy is 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 nm. It can be seen that the wavelength of light reduces as it reaches Earth. It is called Red shift. As per Doppler's effect, we can say that the galaxy is receding from the Earth.

(b) Let v is the speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth. It can be given by :

v=c(\dfrac{\lambda'}{\lambda}-1)\\\\v=3\times 10^8\times (\dfrac{438.6 }{434.1 }-1)\\\\v=3\times 10^8\times (\dfrac{438.6}{434.1}-1)\\\\v=0.0103\cdot3\cdot10^{8}\\\\v=3.09\times 10^6\ m/s

So, the speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth is 3.09\times 10^6\ m/s.

The diagram shows a spectrometer being used to analyze a sample of a solution.
fredd [130]

Answer

B. X

A plate of glass or metal ruled with very close parallel lines, producing a spectrum by diffraction and interference of light.

diffraction grating is an optical component that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions. The light emerges with its colours separated.

Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for a time \Delta t, starting from rest, giving thepuck speed v
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1. t_2 = 2t_1

2. t_2 = t_1\sqrt{2}

Explanation:

1. According to Newton's law of motion, the puck motion is affected by the acceleration, which is generated by the push force F.

In Newton's 2nd law: F = ma

where m is the mass of the object and a is the resulted acceleration. So in the 2nd experiment, if we double the mass, a would be reduced by half.

a_1 = 2a_2

Since the puck start from rest, in the 1st experiment, to achieve speed of v it would take t time

t = v / a_1

Now that acceleration is halved:

t = \frac{v}{2a_2}

\frac{v}{a_2} = 2t

You would need to push for twice amount of time t_2 = 2t_1

2. The distance traveled by the puck is as the following equation:

d = at^2

So if the acceleration is halved while maintaining the same d:

\frac{d_1}{d_2} = \frac{a_1t_1^2/2}{a_2t_2^2/2}

As d_1 = d_2, then d_1/d_2 = 1. Also a_1 = 2a_2

1 = \frac{2a_2t_1^2}{a_2t_2^2}

t_2^2 = 2t_1^2

t_2 = t_1\sqrt{2}\approx 1.14t_1

So t increased by 1.14

A 37 cm long solenoid, 1.8 cm in diameter, is to produce a 0.50 T magnetic field at its center. If the maximum current is 4.4 A,
taurus [48]

Answer:

33,458.71 turns

Explanation:

Given: L = 37 cm = 0.37 m, B= 0.50 T, I = 4.4 A, n= number of turn per meter

μ₀ = Permeability of free space = 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷

Solution:

We have B = μ₀ × n × I

⇒ n = B/ (μ₀ × I)

n = 0.50 T / ( 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷ × 4.4 A)

n = 90,428.94 turn/m

No. of turn through 0.37 m long solenoid = 90,428.94 turn/m × 0.37

= 33,458.71 turns
