This is a Fraunhofer single slit experiment, where the light passing through the slit produces an interference pattern on the screen, and where the dark bands (minima of diffraction) are located at a distance of
from the center of the pattern. In the formula, m is the order of the minimum,
the wavelenght,
the distance of the screen from the slit and
the width of the slit.
In our problem, the distance of the first-order band (m=1) is
. The distance of the screen is D=86 cm while the wavelength is
. Using these data and re-arranging the formula, we can find a, the width of the slit:
Answer:
the initial velocity is 20 m/s and the acceleration is 2 m/s²
Explanation:
Given equation of motion, v = 20 + 2t
If V represents the final velocity of the object, then the initial velocity and acceleration of the object is calculated as follows;
From first kinematic equation;
v = u + at
where;
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is time of motion
If we compare (v = u + at) to (v = 20 + 2t)
then, u = 20 and
a = 2
Therefore, the initial velocity is 20 m/s and the acceleration is 2 m/s²
No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.
But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.
Quoting from the article itself:
"Since it is above Earth's atmosphere, it gives us clearer pictures of space than telescopes on Earth can."

You could calculate it out by assuming the same starting temperature for each substance. (You have to assume that the substances do start at the same temperature anyway).
That's like shooting 12 with 2 dice. It can be done, but aiming for a more common number is a better idea.
Same with this question.
You should just develop a rule. The rule will look like this
The greater the heat capacity the (higher or lower) the change in temperature.
The greater the heat capacity the lower the change in temperature
That's not your question. You want to know which substance will have the greatest temperature change given their heat capacities.
Answer
lead. It has the smallest heat capacity and therefore it's temperature change will be the greatest.
