Answer:

It will take 2.68 minutes for them to reach each other.

Explanation:

We use the two following kinematic equations, making the final position the same (for the moment they meet each other):

locomotive 1 -->  x_f=v*t

locomotive 2 -->  x_f=8.5\,-\,v*t

we make the two xf equal, and solve for the time (t) using v = 95 km/h:

95*t=8.5-95*t\\2*95*t=8.5\\t=8.5/(190)\\t = 0.0447\,\,hours

converting the hours into minutes by multiplying this value times 60;

t = 2.68 minutes

alisha [4.7K]
Centripetal acceleration is the force acting on the body who's moving in a circular motion. It is still a force, which according to Newton's Second Law of Motion,

F = ma
F = (70 kg)(2)(9.81 m/s²)
F = 1373.4 N

<em>Thus, the answer is B.</em>

You can also enter units that are combinations of other units. keep in mind that you have to indicate the multiplication of unit
omeli [17]
Watch this !  You've never seen anything like it !
No wait.  I'm pretty sure you have.


Weight = (mass) · (gravity)

Weight = (10 kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

Weight = (10 · 9.8) kg·m/s²

Weight = 98 Newtons

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.400mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed
kogti [31]

Answer:

a)y_{first}=5.3mm

b)y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm  

Explanation:

a)

The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a} when m is a natural number.

here:

  • m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)                
  • D is the distance from the slit to the screen
  • a is the slit wide
  • λ is the wavelength

So we have:

y_{first}=\frac{633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{first}=5.3mm

b)

Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

y_{2}=\frac{2*633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{2}=10.6 mm

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :

y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm    

I hope it heps you!
