The big rock will be exhibiting more kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is calculated for an object with the formula of ½ mv2. Here m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity or speed of the object.

As it is known that the speed of two rocks with different masses are same so the kinetic energy will be completely depending on the mass of the object.

So the rock with higher mass will be having more kinetic energy compared to the smaller rock as its mass will be less.

So the bigger stone will be exhibiting more kinetic energy than the small one.

Kinetic energy depends on the mass and the speed of a moving object.

If the speeds are equal, then the rick with more mass has more kinetic energy.

Light of wavelength 436.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.31 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is "4.26 m".

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

$\lambda = 436.1 \ nm$

or,

$=436.1\times 10^{-9} \ m$

Distance,

$d = 0.31 \ mm$

or,

$=0.31\times 10^{-3} \ m$

Distance between the 1st and 2nd dark fringes,

$(y_2-y_1) = 6\times 10^{-3} \ m$

As we know,

⇒ $\frac{d}{L} (y_2-y_1) = \lambda$

or,

⇒ $L=\frac{d(y_2-y_1)}{\lambda}$

By substituting the values, we get

$=\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^{-6}}{436.1\times 10^{-9}}$

$=\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^3}{436.1}$

$=\frac{1860}{436.1}$

$=4.26 \ m$

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 6100 n

Hoochie [10]

Force on electron due to electric field is given by

$F = eE$

$F = 1.6 * 10^{-19}* 6100$

$F = 9.76 * 10^{-16} N$

now the acceleration is given by

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

$a = \frac{9.76 * 10^{-16}}{9.1 * 10^{-31}}$

$a = 1.07 * 10^{15} m/s^2$

so above is the magnitude of acceleration and its direction is opposite to field as electron is negatively charged so direction is towards SOUTH

2. How is frequency described in mathematical terms?

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second. In this case, there is 1 cycle per 2 seconds. So the frequency is 1 cycles/2 s = 0.5 Hz.
