Answer:

a=20\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 40 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

We need to find the acceleration of the aircraft. We know that, acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{40-0}{2}\\\\=20\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the aircraft is 20\ m/s^2.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t
inn [45]

(a) 4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

The frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

v is the wave's speed

\lambda is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s (speed of light)

\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting,

f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm

(c) 2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s

Two charges are located in the xx–yy plane. If q1=−4.10 nCq1=−4.10 nC and is located at (x=0.00 m,y=1.080 m)(x=0.00 m,y=1.080 m)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Due to first charge , electric field at origin will be oriented towards - ve of y axis.

magnitude

Ey = -8.99 x 10⁹ x 4.1 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.08² j

= - 31.6 j N/C

Due to second charge electric field at origin

= 8.99 x 10⁹ x 3.6  x 10⁻⁹ / 1.2²+ .6²

= 8.99 x 10⁹ x 3.6  x 10⁻⁹ / 1.8

= 18 N/C

It is making angle θ where

Tanθ = .6 / 1.2

= 26.55°

this field in vector form

= - 18 cos 26.55 i - 18 sin26.55 j

= - 16.10 i - 8.04 j

Total field

= - 16.10 i - 8.04 j + ( - 31.6 j )

= -16.1 i - 39.64 j .

Ex = - 16.1 i

Ey = - 39.64 j .

Multiply 5.036×102m by 0.078×10−1, taking into account significant figures.
Anika [276]

Answer : The significant digit is 6

Explanation :

Multiply 5.036\times10^{2}m by 0.078\times10^{-1}m

Now, on multiplying

5.036\times10^{2}m \times0.078\times10^{-1}m = 0.392808 \times10^{1}\ m^{2}

5.036\times10^{2}m \times0.078\times10^{-1}m = 0.0392808\ m^{2}

Now, the significant digit is 6.

Hence, this is the required solution.
