Answer:

31.3mph North

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled  = 1500miles

Time taken  = 48hrs

Unknown:

Velocity of the group of explorers = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

 So;

       Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

Displacement is the distance moved in a specific direction = 1500miles North

 Insert the parameters and solve;

   Velocity = \frac{1500}{48}   = 31.3mph North

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

D, using a spring scale to exert a force on the block. Measure the acceleration of the block and the applied force

Explanation:

For this you would use the net force equation acceleration=net force * mass however you will want to isolate mass so it would be acceleration/ net force to get mass. Then process of elimination comes to play.

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed by monochromatic electromagnetic radiation from a distant source passing through a s
tatiyna

Answer:

a. λ = 647.2 nm

b. I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Given:

β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m

a.

The wavelength of the radiation can be find using

β = 2 π / γ * sin θ

λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β

λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad

λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m  ⇒  λ = 647.2 nm

b.

The intensity of the central maximum I₀

I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²

I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²

I = I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

sweet [91]

Answer:

h = 18.75 m

Now when it will reach at point B then its normal force is just equal to ZERO

N_B = 0

F_n = 1.72 \times 10^4

Explanation:

Since we need to cross both the loops so least speed at the bottom must be

v = \sqrt{5 R g}

also by energy conservation this is gained by initial potential energy

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

so we will have

\sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{5Rg}

now we have

h = \frac{5R}{2}

here we have

R = 7.5 m

so we have

h = \frac{5(7.5)}{2}

h = 18.75 m

Now when it will reach at point B then its normal force is just equal to ZERO

N_B = 0

now when it reach point C then the speed will be

mgh - mg(2R_c) = \frac{1}{2]mv_c^2

v_c^2 = 2g(h - 2R_c)

v_c = 13.1 m/s

now normal force at point C is given as

F_n = \frac{mv_c^2}{R_c} - mg

F_n = \frac{700\times 13.1^2}{5} - (700 \times 9.8)

F_n = 1.72 \times 10^4
