Answer:

-2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is the change in it's velocity with time.

The change in velocity with time can be obtained as the slope of a velocity time graph ;

Acceleration = (change in velocity / change in time)

Taking the slope :

Change in Velocity = △y = y2 - y1

Change in time = △x = x2 - x1

(10, 15) ; (0, 40)

△y / △x = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 = (40 - 15) / (0 - 10)

△y / △x = 25 / - 10 = - 2.5 m/s²

11 e) Can a conductor be given limitless charge? Obtain the equivalent resistance of several resistors if (a) they are in series

horsena [70]

Answer:

(e) no

(a) Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b) 1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Explanation:

11 e)

Practically it is not possible to give limitless charge to a conductor. It depends to the number of valence electrons.

(a) When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in series combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I.

According to Ohm's law

Voltage across R', V' = I R'

Voltage across R'', V'' = I R''

Voltage across R''', V''' = I R'''

So, let the equivalent resistance is Rs.

I Rs = I R' + I R'' + I R'''

Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b)

When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in parallel combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I', I''. I'''.

Current in R', I' = V/R'

Current in R'', I'' = V/R''

Current in R''', I''' = V/R'''

The equivalent resistance is Rp.

V/Rp = V/R' + V/ R'' + V/R'''

1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng

natta225 [31]

Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

$c = \lambda* f (1)$

Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m (2)$

An x-ray beam of a certain wavelength is incident on a crystal, at 30.7° to a certain family of reflecting planes of spacing 33.

klemol [59]

Answer:

λ=34.068pm

Explanation:

Wavelength λ=2dsinθ

λ=2(33.4pm)sin30.7

λ=2(33.4pm) * 0.510

λ=66.8* sin30.7

λ=66.8*0.510

λ=34.068pm
