Answer:

Explanation:

When the puck is sliding on the ice, there is no force being exerted on the puck to keep it moving forward. Instead, inertia keeps the puck moving forward. Friction between the puck and the ice gradually slows the puck down. You hit a hockey puck and it slides across the ice at nearly a constant speed

What two measurements are needed to determine density?

g100num [7]

Density is defined as (mass) per unit (volume). So in order to calculate
the density of a glob of some substance, you pretty much have to measure
its mass and its volume.

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

$D\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, D = width of slit

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Here, $\sin\theta$ should be maximum.

So. maximum value of $\sin\theta$ is 1

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=\lambda$

(b). If the minimum number is 50

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=50\lambda$

(c). If the minimum number is 1000

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=1000\lambda$

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes of your bike?

g100num [7]

Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).
