Answer:

An Ocean beach

Explanation:

a Ocean beach is far heavier than the top of a mountain, despite that a mountain is made with many heavy rocks a Ocean beach may have light sand but the layers of sand and the width would be way heavier then the top of a mountain.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2$

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N$

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

If the distance between slits on a diffraction grating is 0.50 mm and one of the angles of diffraction is 0.25°, how large is th

Trava [24]

Answer:

- path differnce = 2.18*10^-6

- 1538 lines

Explanation:

- The path difference for the waves that produce the pattern of diffraction, is given by the following formula:

$path\ difference\ = dsin\theta$ (1)

d: separation between slits = 0.50mm = 0.50*10^-3 m

θ: angle of a diffraction = 0.25°

Then, the path difference is:

$path\ difference\ =(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin(0.25\°)=2.18*10^{-6}m$

- The maximum number of bright lines are calculated by using the following formula:

$m\lambda = dsin\theta$ (2)

m: order of the bright

λ: wavelength = 650nm

The maximum bright is calculated for an angle of 90°:

$m=\frac{(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin90\°}{650*10^{-9}m} \approx 769$

The maxium number of bright lines are twice the previous result, that is, 1538 lines

If the escalator pulls you up a slope of 30.0o and moves with a velocity of 3.10m/s. What is the vertical component of your v

ioda

Answer:

$1.55\ \text{m/s}$

$2.68\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the elevator = 3.1 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle of the slope = $30^{\circ}$

Vertical component is given by

$v_y=v\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_y=3.1\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.55\ \text{m/s}$

The vertical component of the velocity is $1.55\ \text{m/s}$ .

Horizontal component is given by

$v_x=v\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow v_x=3.1\times \cos30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2.68\ \text{m/s}$

The horizontal component of the velocity is $2.68\ \text{m/s}$ .
