Find the kinetic energy using the formula E = 1/2(mv^2) where m = 17kg, v=18m/s, h=27m. Once you have found the answer, plug the answer as E, m =17kg, v=?, and h=27m. Now solve for v. Good luck

A beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of 400 nm in air travels into water. what is the wavelength of the light in wate

slava [35]

The refractive index of water is $n=1.33$ . This means that the speed of the light in the water is:
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.33 }=2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

The relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ of a wave is given by:
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}$
where v is the speed of the wave in the medium. The frequency of the light does not change when it moves from one medium to the other one, so we can compute the ratio between the wavelength of the light in water $\lambda_w$ to that in air $\lambda$ as
$\frac{\lambda_w}{\lambda}= \frac{ \frac{v}{f} }{ \frac{c}{f} } = \frac{v}{c}$
where v is the speed of light in water and c is the speed of light in air. Re-arranging this formula and by using $\lambda=400 nm$ , we find
$\lambda_w = \lambda \frac{v}{c}=(400 nm) \frac{2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=301 nm$
which is the wavelength of light in water.

the skydiver has a forward velocity of 40 m/s, After two second, what is the skydivers forward and downward velocity?

bogdanovich [222]

Initial velocity, u = 40 m/s
Final velocity, v = ?
t = 2s
g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

v = u + gt. Since it is a free fall, acceleration due to gravity, g

v = 40 + 9.8*2

v = 59.6 m/s

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.230 mm, and a screen is placed 4.75 m from the slits. If the bright

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$7.55\times 10^{-7} m$

Explanation:

We are given that

d=0.23 mm= $0.23\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Screen is placed from the slits at distance ,L=4.75 m

The bright interference fringes on the screen are separated by 1.56 cm.

$\Delta y=1.56 cm=1.56\times 10^{-2} m$

1 m=100 cm

We have to find the wavelength of laser light.

We know that

$\Delta y=\frac{\lambda L}{d}$

Substitute the values

$1.56\times 10^{-2}=\frac{\lambda\times 4.75}{0.23\times 10^{-3}}$

$\lambda=\frac{1.56\times 10^{-2}\times 0.23\times 10^{-3}}{4.75}$

$\lambda=7.55\times 10^{-7} m$

When you ride your bike around a corner at 10 m/s, you are accelerating?

WINSTONCH [101]

When you ride your bike around a corner at 10 m/s, you are accelerating. Acceleration is caused by any forces. Sliding friction keeps you in the seat when a car goes around a corner. If you throw a ball into the air, Earth exerts a force on the ball.
