Answer: K.E = 8.3 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are

Height h = 169.2 m

Mass m = 0.005kg

From conservation of energy, at the top of the monument, the total energy will be kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy. That is,

K.E = P.E

And

P.E = mgh

Where g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

P.E = 0.005 × 9.81 × 169.2

P.E = 8.2908 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy (KE) of the nickel in her shirt pocket at the top of the monument is approximately 8.3 Joule.

1. Why is it easier to change the motion of a large toy car than a small toy car?
insens350 [35]
Because it is acted upon by balanced forces.

Toy cars use a variety of mechanisms to make them go, but they all store up potential energy. Although the elastic material inside is usually steel and not rubber, the principle is the same. By changing the shape of the material (usually a coil of metal) energy is stored and then released as motion.

A thin flake of mica ( n = 1.58 ) is used to cover one slit ofa double slit interference arrangement. The central point on thevi
ELEN [110]

Answer:

the thickness of the mica is 6.64μm

Explanation:

By definition we know that the phase between two light waves that are traveling on different materials (in this case also two) is given by the equation

\Phi = 2\pi(\frac{L}{\lambda}(n_1-n_2))

Where

L = Thickness

n = Index of refraction of each material

\lambda = Wavelength

Our values are given as

\Phi = 7(2\pi)L=tn_1 = 1.58n_2 = 1\lambda = 550nm

Replacing our values at the previous equation we have

\Phi = 2\pi(\frac{L}{\lambda}(n_1-n_2))7(2\pi) = 2\pi(\frac{t}{\lambda}(1.58-1))

t = \frac{7*550}{1.58-1}\\t = 6637.931nm \approx 6.64\mu m

the thickness of the mica is 6.64μm
