Answer:

Wave theory of light explains the phenomena of interference, diffraction, scattering, dispersion, polarisation etc. Complete solution: Around 1700, it was concluded by Newton that light was a group of particles. It was called corpuscular theory.

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.60 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Height of ceiling is $h=3.6\ m$

Initial speed of Putty $u=9.5\ m/s$

Speed of Putty just before it strike the ceiling is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v^2-9.5^2=2\times (-9.8)\times 3.6$

$v^2=19.69$

$v=4.43\ m/s$

time taken by putty to reach the ceiling

$v=u+at$

$4.43=9.5-9.8\times t$

$t=\frac{5.07}{9.8}$

$t=0.517\ s$

A 0.250 kg fan cart accelerates at 24 cm/ s^2 for 4.5 seconds. what is the net force (fan thrust minus drag and friction) on the

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

0.06 N

1.08 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the fan cart = 0.250 kg

a = acceleration of the fan cart = 24 cm/s² = 0.24 m/s²

F = Net force on the cart

Net force on the cart is given as

F = ma

F = (0.250) (0.24)

F = 0.06 N

v₀ = initial velocity of the cart = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the cart

t = time interval = 4.5 s

Using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

v = 0 + (0.24) (4.5)

v = 1.08 m/s

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

25000 V

Explanation:

The formula for potential is

V = Kq/r

Potential at B due to the charge placed at origin O

V1 = K q / OB

$V_{1}= \frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 30 \times 10^{-6}}{27}$

V1 = 10000 V

Potential at B due to the charge placed at A

V2 = K q / AB

$V_{2}= \frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 30 \times 10^{-6}}{18}$

V2 = 15000 V

Total potential at B

V = V1 + V2 = 10000 + 15000 = 25000 V

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Normal force, $N = W_s - F$

Explanation:

Let $w_s$ is the weight of suitcase. A man attempts to pick up his suitcase by pulling straight up on the handle. The weight of the suitcase in downward direction. The normal force is acting in upward direction. Let F is the force with which it is pulled straight up.

So, the normal force is given by :

$N = W_s - F$

N = mg - F

mg is the weight of the suitcase.

Hence, this is the required solution.
