Answer:

Gravity.

Explanation:

The force that controls the movement of the planets around the sun, holds together stars grouped in galaxies, and galaxies grouped in clusters is called gravity.

This ultimately implies that, gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction that acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, weight is given by the formula;

Weight = mg

Where;

m is the mass of an object.

g is acceleration due to gravity.

It takes 5.0 seconds for a wave with a wavelength of 2.5 m to travel past your location. What’s the period of the wave. What is
Anna35 [415]
(a) Period of the wave
The period of a wave is the time needed for a complete cycle of the wave to pass through a certain point.
So, if an entire cycle of the wave passes through the given location in 5.0 seconds, this means that the period is equal to 5.0 s: T=5.0 s.

(b) Frequency of the wave
The frequency of a wave is defined as
f= \frac{1}{T}
since in our problem the period is T=5.0 s, the frequency is
f= \frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.2 Hz

(c) Speed of the wave
The speed of a wave is given by the following relationship between frequency f and wavelength \lambda:
v=f \lambda = (0.2 Hz)(2.5 m)=0.5 m/s

A diffraction grating is illuminated simultaneously with red light of wavelength 670 nm and light of an unknown wavelength. The
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

dsin∅ = m× λ

so, dsin∅red = 3(670nm)

also, dsin∅? =5λ?

however ,if they overlap then dsin∅red = dsin∅?

3(670nm) /5 =402nm

∴λ = 402nm

One uniform ladder of mass 30 kg and 10 m long rests against a frictionless vertical wall and makes an angle of 60o with the flo
yuradex [85]

Answer:

   μ = 0.37

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations.

We set our reference system at the highest point of the ladder where it touches the vertical wall. We assume that counterclockwise rotation is positive

let's write the rotational equilibrium

           W₁  x/2 + W₂ x₂ - fr y = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the mass ladder m₁ = 30kg, W₂ is the weight of the man 700 N, let's use trigonometry to find the distances

             cos 60 = x / L

where L is the length of the ladder

              x = L cos 60

            sin 60 = y / L

           y = L sin60

the horizontal distance of man is

            cos 60 = x2 / 7.0

            x2 = 7 cos 60

we substitute

         m₁ g L cos 60/2 + W₂ 7 cos 60 - fr L sin60 = 0

         fr = (m1 g L cos 60/2 + W2 7 cos 60) / L sin 60

let's calculate

         fr = (30 9.8 10 cos 60 2 + 700 7 cos 60) / (10 sin 60)

         fr = (735 + 2450) / 8.66

         fr = 367.78 N

the friction force has the expression

         fr = μ N

write the translational equilibrium equation

         N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

         N = m₁ g + W₂

         N = 30 9.8 + 700

         N = 994 N

we clear the friction force from the eucacion

        μ = fr / N

        μ = 367.78 / 994

        μ = 0.37
