A. Graphing the force as a function of time and calculating the slope
B. Graphing the force as a function of time and calculating the area under the curve
C. Graphing the force as a function of distance and calculating the slope

Answer:

The correct option is (D). "Graphing the force as a function of distance and calculating the area under the curve"

Explanation:

1) As we know from the definition of Work done which is Work = Force × Displacement. Time doesn't have any use in the mentioned equation and thus the stop watch is of no use to us.

2) Using the meter stick, we can measure the distance for which the block is pulled horizontally i.e "Displacement"

3) Using the spring scale, we can calculate the "Force" applied on the block of wood to move it horizontally.

4) For example, lets say that for a constant force of 4 Newtons, the wooden block is pulled horizontally 4 meters. Plotting Force vs Displacement on a graph would yield a horizontal line as shown in the attachment. Area under the F vs D graph will give us the total work done.

Using Planck’s constant as h = 6.63 E-34 J*s, what is the wavelength of a proton with a speed of 5.00 E6 m/s? The mass of a prot
Marrrta [24]
De Broglie's identity gives the relationship between the momentum and the wavelength of a particle:
p=mv= \frac{h}{\lambda}
where
p is the particle momentum
m is its mass
v its velocity
h is the Planck constant
\lambda is the wavelength

By re-arranging the equation, we get
\lambda=  \frac{h}{mv}
and by using the data about the proton, given in the text, we can find the proton's wavelength:
\lambda= \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{(1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(5.00 \cdot 10^6 m/s)} =7.99 \cdot 10^{-14} m

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 2.40 x 10-5 cm?
S_A_V [24]
<span>To begin, the formula for finding frequency when wavelength is known is "f = c / w" when c is the constant velocity (3 * 10^8 m/s). To convert the wavelength into a common form (m/s), it will have to be multiplied by 10^-2. This leaves the equation as "f = 3.0 * 10^8 / (2.4 * 10^-5 * 10^-2), or 2.4 * 10^-7. This gives 1.25 * 10^15 m/s as the frequency.</span>

What is the force due to gravity of a 38 kg student?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

F_g = 372.78 N

Explanation:

Formula for force of gravity is;

F_g = mg

Where;

m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity

We are given;

Mass = 38 kg

Acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

F_g = 38 × 9.81

F_g = 372.78 N
