The potential energy of the car when it let go is 20,000 J.

The speed of the car at the bottom of the ramp is 20 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the car, m = 100 kg</em>
  • <em>height of the car, h = 20 m</em>

<em />

The potential energy of the car is calculated as follows;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 100 x 10 x 20

P.E = 20,000 J

The speed of the car at the bottom of the ramp is calculated as follows;

K.E = P.E\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh\\\\v^2 = 2gh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 20} \\\\v = 20 \ m/s

Suppose you want to make an interferometer with two slits to show the wave nature of light to your friends. The most convenient
nevsk [136]

Answer:

a) the pattern is bright,  b)  y = 8.25 mm, c) the distance increases with the wavelength increases

Explanation:

This is a team building exercise to perform interference experiments, where the separation of the slits is d = 1 m = 1 10⁻³ m and the distance to the screen L = 1.5 m  

Constructive interference occurs when the path difference is equal to an integer number of wavelengths  

             d sin θ = m λ  

a) The center of the two-ray pattern has the same length so the intensity is MAXIMUM, that is, the pattern is bright  

b) to find the distance let's use trigonometry  

   tan θ= y / L  

   tan θ =sin θ/cos θ= sin θ  

because the angles are small  

we substitute  

     y = \frac{m \lambda L}{d} 

let's calculate  

     y = 10 550 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

     y = 8.25 10⁻³ m

c) for this part the incident light must be white or polychrome light  

let's find the distance (y) for some colors, in the first order  

Violet λ = 400  

y = 1 400 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 6 10⁻⁴ m  

green λ = 500 nm  

y = 1 500 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 7.5 10⁻⁴ m  

yellow λ = 600 nm  

y = 1 600 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1.10⁻³  

y = 9 10⁻⁴ m  

lam λ = 700 nm  

y = 1 700 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1. 10⁻³  

y = 1.05 10⁻³ m  

violet, green, orange, red  

the distance increases with the wavelength increases

d) To find the wavelength we must measure the distance y from the center of the slit for various interference orders and using the equation we can find the wavelength of rationality

Sound waves travel at the rate of 343 m/s at 20°C. If a man standing 450 meters away from the wall of a canyon yells, “Hello,” h
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

2.62seconds

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by a body with respect to time.

Speed v = Distance (s)/Time (t)

For a traveling sound wave, the distance between the source of a sound and the reflector is '2S'.

Speed v = 2 × distance (S)/Time (T)

V = 2S/t

2S = vt

Given speed of the wave = 342m/s

Distance covered = 450m

t = 2S/v

t = (2×450)/343

t = 900/343

t = 2.62seconds

It will take him 2.62seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.

Astar begins as a blank a large cloud of gas and dust
crimeas [40]
This is a statement but yes a star forms inside nebulae which are gigantic clouds of gas. stars form inside as the gases own gravity pulls it together after which it becomes large enough to perform fusion and become a star.
