Answer:

122.5m

Explanation:

Basic kinematics, negating drag and assuming ideal conditions, we use the equation:

d=vi*t+1/2*a*t^2

Since vi is 0 (we know this because you’re dropping it, not throwing it)…

…and the only acceleration acting on it is gravity, a=9.8 m/s^2…

…we get

d=1/2(9.8)(5)^2

Some quick mental math tells us that this is about 125 m.

Plugging it in, we find it to be 122.5 m.

A top of rotational inertia 4.0 kg m2 receives a torque of 2.4 nm from a physics professor. the angular acceleration of the body

Tanzania [10]

Angular acceleration is simply the ratio of the Torque over the rotation inertia, that is:

Angular acceleration = Torque / Rotational inertia

So substituting the values:

Angular acceleration = 2.4 N m / 4.0 kg m2

<span>Angular acceleration = 0.7 rad/s^2</span>

A strontium vapor laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an a

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

$d=1.29*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD $D=1.4$

Second bright fringe $y_2= 0.803 m$

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

$y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}$

Where

$d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}$

$d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}$

$d=1.29*10^{-6}m$
