Answer:

C. the top line represents a greater velocity

Explanation:

The graph is a distance - time graph.

The distance is on the y-axis and time is on the x - axis.

For this graph, the slope is the velocity.

The steeper the line, the higher the velocity or the higher the slope.
Since the upper line is steeper, it will have a higher slope
Hence a greater velocity

The lower line is not so steep and its slope is lesser compared to the upper one.

Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 591 nm wavelength light falling on a diffraction grating having 1460 lines per ce

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

15.32°

Explanation:

We have given the wavelength $\lambda =591nm=591\times 10^{-9}m$

Diffraction grating is 1460 lines per cm

So $d=\frac{10^{-2}}{1460}=6.71\times 10^{-6}m$ (as 1 m=100 cm )

For maximum diffraction

$dsin\Theta =m\lambda$ here m is order of diffraction

So $6.71\times 10^{-6}sin\Theta =3\times 591\times 10^{-9}$

$sin\Theta =0.264$

$\Theta =15.32^{\circ}$

In the figure below the pulley is a solid disk of mass M and radius R with rotational inertia MR 2/2. Two blocks one of mass m a

matrenka [14]

Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:

1. $m_1a = T_1 -m_1g$
2. $m_2a = m_2g - T_2$
where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.

The torque on the pulley is given by:
3. $\tau = \overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow F = (T_2 - T_1)R = I\alpha = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 \frac{a}{R}$
where $I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2$ and $a = \alpha R$ .

Combining the three equations:
$T_2 - T_1 = \frac{1}{2} Ma \\ m_2g - m_2a -m_1g - m_1a = (m_2-m_1)g - (m_1 + m_2)a = \frac{1}2}Ma \\ \\ a = \frac{(m_2 - m_1)g}{m_1 + m_2 + \frac{1}{2}M }$

Classify the type of plate boundary where the appalachian mountains formed . how have they changed since their formation

disa [49]

<span>The Appalachian Mountains were formed when colliding tectonic plates folded and upthrust, mainly during the Permian Period and again in the Cretaceous Period. The folds and thrusts were then eroded and carved by wind, streams and glaciers. These erosive processes are ongoing, and the topography of the Appalachian Mountains continue to change. They have changed with the miles of land that are cleared of all vegetation and topsoil. In the 1970's coal miners literally blow away the top of a mountain to get to the coal underneath.</span>

Two cars having different weights are traveling on a level surface at different constant velocities. Within the same time interv

GuDViN [60]

I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time.

This is sneaky. At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'. But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)

The answer is momentum.

Momentum is (mass x speed). Change in momentum is (force x time).

No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it. If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.

Students want to investigate the inverse relationship between the pressure and temperature of an ideal gas as predicted by the i

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Option B, Fix the piston in place so the volume of the pas remains constant

Explanation:

As we know

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

The effect on variable due to another variable can be studied by keeping the third variable constant.

Hence, in order the study the variation of temperature with pressure or vice versa, the volume needs to fixed at a certain value.

Hence, option B is correct
