An object accelerates from rest and travels 53 m west in 5.2 s. Determine the acceleration

Physics
1 answer:
zmey [24]3 years ago

Answer:

20.4m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Distance  = 53m

Time  = 5.2s

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

This is a linear motion and we use the right motion equation;

        S = ut  + \frac{1}{2}at²

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

 Insert the parameters and solve;

       53  = (0x 5.2) +  \frac{1}{2} x a x 5.2

       53  = 2.6a

         a = \frac{53}{2.6}  = 20.4m/s²

jasenka [17]

Answer:

\lambda= 506.25 nm

Explanation:

Diffraction is observed when a wave is distorted by an obstacle whose dimensions are comparable to the wavelength. The simplest case corresponds to the Fraunhofer diffraction, in which the obstacle is a long, narrow slit, so we can ignore the effects of extremes.

This is a simple case, in which we can use the Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y=\frac{m \lambda D}{a}

Where:

y=Displacement\hspace{3}from\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} centerline \hspace{3}for \hspace{3}minimum\hspace{3} intensity =1.35mm\\\lambda=Light\hspace{3} wavelength \\D=Distance\hspace{3}between\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}screen\hspace{3}and\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}slit=2m\\a=width\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}slit=0.750mm\\m=Order\hspace{3}number=1

Solving for λ:

\lambda=\frac{y*a}{mD}

Replacing the data provided by the problem:

\lambda=\frac{(1.35\times 10^{-3})*(0.750\times 10^{-3})}{1*2} =5.0625\times 10^{-7}m =506.25nm

Compare and contrast series and parallel circuits?
dalvyx [7]

In a series circuit, a common current flows through all the components of the circuit. While in a parallel circuit, a different amount of current flows through each parallel branch of the circuit. Whereas in the parallel circuit, the same voltage exists across the multiple components in the circuit.

Hope It Helps!

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The ball's initial kinetic energy

The ball comes to a stop at B. At this point its initial kinetic energy is converted into potential energy

Explanation:

A ball is fixed to the end of a string, which is attached to the ceiling at point P. As the drawing shows, the ball is projected downward at A with the launch speed v0. Traveling on a circular path, the ball comes to a halt at point B. What enables the ball to reach point B, which is above point A? Ignore friction and air resistance.

From conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another.

Ki+Ui=Kf+Uf

Ki=initial kinetic energy

Ui=initial potential energy

Kf=final kinetic energy

Uf=final potential energy

we know that \frac{1}{2} mu^{2} +mgha=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} +mghb

m=mass of the ball

ha=downward height a

hb=upward height b

u=initial velocity u

v=final velocity v, which is 0

g=acceleration due to gravity

v=0 at final velocity

1/2mu^2+mgha=0+1/2mv^2

ha=hb+Ki/mh

From the above equation, we can conclude that the ball's initial kinetic energy  is responsible for making the ball reach point B.

Point B is higher than point A from the motion gained by the ball
