KengaRu [80]

Answer:

2.48 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the kinematic equation,

s = ut +½at²

Where

s = displacement

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

a = acceleration

Using the equation in vertical direction,

321 = 0×t +½×g×t², u = 0 because initial vertical velocity is 0

We get t = 8.01 s

Using the equation in the horizontal direction,

52 = u×8.01 +½×0×(8.01)²,. a = 0 because no unbalanced force act on object in that direction

So u = 2.48 m/s

The second-order decomposition of hi has a rate constant of 1.80 x 10−3 m−1 s−1. How much hi remains after 45.6 s if the initial
zlopas [31]

Answer:

2.9 M

Explanation:

The concentration-time equation for a second order reaction is:

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A°]

Where,

A = concentration remaining at time, t

A° = initial concentration

k = rate constant

1/[A] = (1.80 x 10^-3) * (45.6) + 1/3.81

1/[A] = 0.345

= 1/0.345

= 2.9 M.

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, \Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

d=\dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}

d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}

So,

\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}

\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}

\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m

or

\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.
