A 1.5-kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 meters per second. It is brought to rest by a constant net force in 0.30 second. What

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.

The cart's acceleration is

                               (0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)

                           = ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²)  =  -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .

Newton's second law of motion says

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

For this cart:      Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)

                                       = ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)

<span>                                       =      </span>- 10 newtons .

<span>The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction </span>
<span>in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, </span>
<span>and it eventually stops the cart.</span>

A 360-nm thick oil film floats on the surface of a pool of water. the indices of refraction of the oil and the water are 1.5 and
jenyasd209 [6]
The correct answer is 432, and 720.
The thickness of a film is t= 360nm
the refractive index of oil n₀t = (m +1/2) λ
For m =0
λ = 4n₀t
= 4(1.50)(360)
= 2160nm
for m = 1
λ = 4n₀t
= 4(1.50)(360)/3
= 720nm
m = 2
λ = 4n₀t/5 = 4(1.50)(360)/5
= 432nm
The wavelength which are most strongly reflected are
432nm, 720nm.

Different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them. This is due to the fact that they have different
Georgia [21]

Due to the Composition, different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them.

What are Asteroids:

  • Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets.
  • Asteroids are generally made up of rocky material, metals and their size are large in  comparison to comets. Asteroid belt is found between Jupiter and Mars.

Composition of Asteroids:

  • Most of the asteroids in the Main Belt are made of rock and stone.
  • The remaining asteroids are made up of a mix of these, along with carbon-rich materials. Some of the more distant asteroids tend to contain more ices.

We determine reflectivity of asteroids by comparing the brightness of light in the visible spectrum to the brightness of light in the infrared spectrum. The light shining from asteroids is reflected sunlight.

Hence we can say that,

Due to the Composition, different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them.

jasenka [17]

again CORRECT ans is 4) light strikes the grooves → different wavelengths of light bend at different angles → diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes → the eyes see different colors.

moderator - plz review the ans as u deleted my right ans n approved the wrong ans :(

Which best contrasts Newton's and Einstein's ideas?
Len [333]

Answer:

Newton believed that mass tells gravity how much force to exert. Einstein believed that mass tells space-time how to curve.

Explanation:

Isaac Newton believed that bodies on earth had a force of gravity pulling them down as a result of their masses.

Albert Einstein believed that the bodies were not pulled down but were moving around in a circular sphere/manner.

This confirms Newton believing that mass tells gravity how much force to exert and Einstein believing that mass tells space-time how to curve.
