Let's call
the mass of the glider and
the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is
) and the acceleration a:
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
and from this we can find the acceleration:
Answer:
The light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.
Explanation:
let:
n be the order fringe
Ф be the angle that the light makes
d is the slit spacing of the grating
λ be the wavelength of the light
then, by Bragg's law:
n×λ = d×sin(Ф)
λ = d×sin(Ф)/n
λ = (3.2×10^-4 cm)×sin(25.0°)/3
= 4.51×10^-5 cm
≈ 4.51×10^-7 m
Therefore, the light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.
The correct answer is:
<span>B.) At terminal velocity there is no net force
In fact, when the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity, his velocity does not change any more. It means that the acceleration acting on the parachutist is zero, and for Newton's second law, this means the net force acting on him is zero:
</span>
<span>because the acceleration is zero: a=0.
This also means that the two relevant forces acting on the parachutist (gravity, downward, and air resistance, upward) are balanced to produce a net force equal to zero.</span>
A billiard ball. unless hit, the balls stay at rest. however when hit into another, the balls do not stop unless acted upon by another force.
A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction.
