Answer:

The acceleration of the object is $17\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

<u>Force </u>

Newton's second law states the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F=m.a

Where a is the acceleration produced on the object. The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}$

We have an object with a mass of m=40 kg that is acted on by a net force of F=680 N.

Calculate the acceleration:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{680\ N}{40\ kg}$

Calculating:

$a = 17\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is $17\ m/s^2$

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Energy stored by left spring when compressed = 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 10 x .02² = .002 J .

Let compression in right spring = y

energy stored to right spring = 1/2 k y²

1/2 k y² = 0.002

.5 x 20 x y² = 0.002

y = .01414 m

= 1.4 cm

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced 7.5 x

Blizzard [7]

Complete Question

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced $7.5 * 10^{-3}$ meters apart. However, by placing a piece of crystal in one of the slits, you are able to make it so that the rays of light that travel through the two slits are Ï out of phase with each other (that is to say, Ao,- ). If you observe that on a screen placed 4 meters from the two slits that the distance between the bright spot closest to center of the pattern is 1.5 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser?
