What mathematical formula correctly expresses the relationship between force, mass and acceleration? A. m = F + a B. F = m / a C
IRINA_888 [86]

D. F=ma

F is for force, and that equals two things, M for mass and A for acceleration. When mass is accelerated, it gives you force. Force equals multiplying mass and its acceleration.

If 745-nm and 660-nm light passes through two slits 0.54 mm apart, how far apart are the second-order fringes for these two wave
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

0.82 mm

Explanation:

The formula for calculation an n^{th} bright fringe from the central maxima is given as:

y_n=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}

so for the distance of the second-order fringe when wavelength \lambda_1 = 745-nm can be calculated as:

y_2 = \frac{n \lambda_1 D}{d}

where;

n = 2

\lambda_1 = 745-nm

D = 1.0 m

d = 0.54 mm

substituting the parameters in the above equation; we have:

y_2 = \frac{2(745nm*\frac{10^{-9m}}{1.0nm}(1.0m) }{0.54 (\frac{10^{-3m}} {1.0mm})}

y_2 = 0.00276 m

y_2 = 2.76 × 10 ⁻³ m

The distance of the second order fringe when the wavelength \lambda_2 = 660-nm is as follows:

y^'}_2 = \frac{2(660nm*\frac{10^{-9m}}{1.0nm}(1.0m) }{0.54 (\frac{10^{-3m}} {1.0mm})}

y^'}_2 = 1.94 × 10 ⁻³ m

So, the distance apart the two fringe can now be calculated as:

\delta y = y_2-y^{'}_2

\delta y = 2.76 × 10 ⁻³ m - 1.94 × 10 ⁻³ m

\delta y = 10 ⁻³ (2.76 - 1.94)

\delta y = 10 ⁻³ (0.82)

\delta y = 0.82 × 10 ⁻³ m

\delta y =  0.82 × 10 ⁻³ m (\frac{1.0mm}{10^{-3}m} )

\delta y = 0.82 mm

Thus, the distance apart the second-order fringes for these two wavelengths = 0.82 mm

An airplane during departure has a constant acceleration of 3 m / s².
Rama09 [41]

Constant acceleration of plane = 3m/s²

a) Speed of the plane after 4s

Acceleration = speed/time

3m/s² = speed/4s

S = 12m/s

The speed of the plane after 4s is 12m/s.

b) Flight point will be termed as the point the plane got initial speed, u, 20m/s

Find speed after 8s, v

a = 3m/s²

from,

a = <u>v</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>u</u>

t

3 = <u>v</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>0</u>

8

24 = v - 20

v = 44m/s

After 8s the plane would've 44m/s speed.

Please help! Calculate velocity. Show all work!
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

v = 23.66 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion may be expressed:

v² = u² + 2as,

Where

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since we are told that it starts from rest

a = acceleration = 0.56m/s²

s = distance traveled = given as 500m

Simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(0.56)(500)

v² = 560

v = √560

v = 23.66 m/s
