Magnitude of acceleration
Explanation:
We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
1.5 m/s²
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given;
Force as 60 N
Mass of the Cart as 40 kg
We are required to calculate the acceleration of the cart.
- From the newton's second law of motion, the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the resultant force.
- That is, F = ma , where m is the mass and a is the acceleration
Rearranging the formula we can calculate acceleration, a
a = F ÷ m
= 60 N ÷ 40 kg
= 1.5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 1.5 m/s²
Answer:
y = 0.0233 m
Explanation:
In a Young's Double Slit Experiment the distance between two consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula:
Δx = λL/d
where,
Δx = distance between fringes
λ = wavelength of light
L = Distance between screen and slits
d = Slit Separation
Now, for initial case:
λ = 425 nm = 4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m
y = 2Δx = 0.0177 m => Δx = 8.85 x 10⁻³ m
Therefore,
8.85 x 10⁻³ m = (4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)L/d
L/d = (8.85 x 10⁻³ m)/(4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)
L/d = 2.08 x 10⁴
using this for λ = 560 nm = 5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m:
Δx = (5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m)(2.08 x 10⁴)
Δx = 0.0116 m
and,
y = 2Δx
y = (2)(0.0116 m)
<u>y = 0.0233 m</u>
