He can balance it on his hand or look for something that can handle the weight of it
postnew [5]3 years ago

Answer:

Hope this is what you were looking for!

Explanation:

1) So, if we are talking about balancing a straight stick (beam), he could put a finger from each hand on either side of it and move them together. As a result of friction his fingers will meet at the balance point.

2) Method of trial and error.

Spring #1 has a force constant of k, and spring #2 has a force constant of 2k. Both springs are attached to the ceiling. Identic
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is 2:1

Explanation:

Let the weight that is hooked to two springs be w.

Spring#1:

Force constant= k

let x1 be the extension in spring#1

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒k·x1=w

⇒x1=w/k

Energy stored in a spring is given by \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} where k is the force constant and x is the extension in spring.

Therefore Energy stored in spring#1 is, \frac{1}{2}k(x1)^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{w}{k})^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{w^{2}}{2k}

Spring #2:

Force constant= 2k

let x2 be the extension in spring#2

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒2k·x2=w

⇒x2=w/2k

Therefore Energy stored in spring#2 is, \frac{1}{2}2k(x2)^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{1}{2}2k(\frac{w}{2k})^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{w^{2}}{4k}

∴The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is \frac{\frac{w^{2}}{2k}}{\frac{w^{2}}{4k}}=2:1

Suppose you are measuring double‑slit interference patterns using an optics kit that contains the following options that you can
svetlana [45]

Answer:

3.6 m

Explanation:

\lambda_R = 650 \ nm\\\\\lambda_R = 650*10^{-9} m\\\\L \ should \ be \ minimum \\\\i.e \  0.25 \ mm\\\\= 0.25 *10^{-3} m

\lambda_R = 700 \ nm\\\\\lambda_R = 700*10^{-9} m\\\\

Also

\beta = 1 \ mm \ fringe \  width

D_{min} = \frac{\beta d}{\lambda}\\\\D_{min} = \frac{10^{-3}*0.25*10^{-3}}{700*10^{-9}}\\\\D_{min} = 3.57 \\D_{min} =  3.6 m

Therefore, the minimum distance L  you can place a screen from the double slit that will give you an interference pattern on the screen that you can accurately measure using an ordinary 30 cm (12 in) ruler. = 3.6 m

A teacher walks 5m north of his desk, then we walks 6m south.
sergey [27]
11m if you add 6+5 you get 11 but of course you need the “m” in the mix so 11m but correct me if I’m wrong.

A subway train starts from rest at a station and accelerates at a rate of 1.68 m/s2 for 14.2 s. It runs at constant speed for 68
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

total distance = 1868.478 m

Explanation:

given data

accelerate = 1.68 m/s²

time = 14.2 s

constant time = 68 s

speed = 3.70 m/s²

to find out

total distance

solution

we know train start at rest so final velocity will be after 14 .2 s is

velocity final = acceleration × time      ..............1

final velocity = 1.68 × 14.2

final velocity = 23.856 m/s²

and for stop train we need time that is

final velocity = u + at

23.856 = 0 + 3.70(t)

t = 6.44 s

and

distance = ut + 1/2 × at²     ...........2

here u is initial velocity and t is time for 14.2 sec

distance 1 = 0 + 1/2 × 1.68 (14.2)²

distance 1 = 169.37 m

and

distance for 68 sec

distance 2= final velocity × time

distance 2= 23.856 × 68

distance 2 = 1622.208 m

and

distance for 6.44 sec

distance 3 = ut + 1/2 × at²

distance 3 = 23.856(6.44) - 0.5 (3.70) (6.44)²

distance 3 = 76.90 m

so

total distance = distance 1 + distance 2 + distance 3

total distance = 169.37 + 1622.208 + 76.90

total distance = 1868.478 m
