What graph would best represent acceleration as a function of mass when a constant force is applied?

Physics

The graphs of the acceleration as a function of mass and of the acceleration as a function of force are in attachment.

Explanation:

To answer both parts of the question, we refer to Newton's second law, which states that:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

a)

To answer this part, we re-arrange the previous equation as follows:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Therefore, we notice that if a constant force is applied, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object:

a \propto \frac{1}{m}

this means that if the mass increases, the acceleration decreases, and if the mass decreases, the acceleration increases.

In a graph of acceleration vs mass, the curve representing this relationship would be a hyperbole. The graph is shown as the first graph in the attached picture.

b)

As before, we re-arrange the previous equation as follows:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Here we notice that if the object has a constant mass, the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied on the object:

a \propto F

this means that when the force increases, the acceleration increases, and when the force decreases, the acceleration decreases.

In a graph of acceleration vs force, the curve representing this relationship would be a straight line, as shown in the second graph in the attached picture.

Find the wavelength of the balmer series spectral line corresponding to n = 15.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

371.2 mm

Explanation:

The Balmer series of spectral lines is obtained from the formula

1/λ = R(1/2² -1/n²) where λ = wavelength, R = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

when n = 15

1/λ = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/2² -1/15²)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/4 -1/225)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(0.25 - 0.0044)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹ 0.245556

    = 2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

So,

λ  = 1/2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

    = 0.3712 10⁻⁶ m

    = 371.2 mm
