Two students were pushing a heavy sofa. One student pushed with a force of 200.0 N to the right, while the other pushed with a f

orce of 150.0 N to the right. The floor exerted a frictional force of 100.0 N. If the sofa's mass is 91.0 kg, what is its acceleration? Round your answer to three significant figures.

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

a = F/m

a = (200.0 + 150.0 - 100.0) / 91.0

a = 250.0/91.0

a = 2.7472527...

a = 2.75 m/s²

Ocean waves pass through two small openings, 20.0 m apart, in a breakwater. You're in a boat 70.0 m from the breakwater and init
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

λ = 5.65m

Explanation:

The Path Difference Condition is given as:

δ=(m+\frac{1}{2})\frac{lamda}{n}  ;

where lamda is represent by the symbol (λ) and is the wavelength we are meant to calculate.

m = no of openings which is 2

∴δ= \frac{3*lamda}{2}

n is the index of refraction of the medium in which the wave is traveling

To find δ we have;

δ= \sqrt{70^2+(33+\frac{20}{2})^2 }-\sqrt{70^2+(33-\frac{20}{2})^2 }

δ= \sqrt{4900+(\frac{66+20}{2})^2}-\sqrt{4900+(\frac{66-20}{2})^2}

δ= \sqrt{4900+(\frac{86}{2})^2 }-\sqrt{4900+(\frac{46}{2})^2 }

δ= \sqrt{4900+43^2}-\sqrt{4900+23^2}

δ= \sqrt{4900+1849}-\sqrt{4900+529}

δ= \sqrt{6749}-\sqrt{5429}

δ=  82.15 -73.68

δ= 8.47

Again remember; to calculate the wavelength of the ocean waves; we have:

δ= \frac{3*lamda}{2}

δ= 8.47

8.47 = \frac{3*lamda}{2}

λ = \frac{8.47*2}{3}

λ = 5.65m

Calculate the mass (in g) of 346 cm³ of polythene. The density of polythene is 0.95 g/cm³. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

M = 328.70g

Explanation:

From the given values:

V = 346 cm³

M of 1 cm³ of Polythene = 0.95g or 95/100g

Solve:

M = <u>(95×346)</u>

10

= <u>3</u><u>2</u><u>8</u><u>7</u><u>0</u>

100

M = 328.70g

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s
