Answer:

2560J

Explanation:

By definition the kinetic energy can be calculated in the following way:

K = (mv²)/2 = 80kg·(8.0m/s)²/2 = 2560 J

Light of wavelength 600 nm passes though two slits separated by 0.22mm and is observed on a screen 1.1m behind the slits. The lo

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

$y(m=1)=\frac{(1)(600*10^{-9}m)(1.1m)}{0.22m}=3*10^{-6}m\\\\y(m=1)=\frac{(-1)(600*10^{-9}m)(1.1m)}{0.22m}=-3*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

We have to take into account the expression for the position of the fringes

$dsen\theta=m\lambda\\y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

where m is the number of the maximum, d is the separation of the slits, D is the distance to the screen.

(a) By replacing we obtain

$y(m=1)=\frac{(1)(600*10^{-9}m)(1.1m)}{0.22m}=3*10^{-6}m\\\\y(m=1)=\frac{(-1)(600*10^{-9}m)(1.1m)}{0.22m}=-3*10^{-6}m$

(b) more information is required to solve this point. Please complete the information.

A disc of mass m slides with negligible friction along a flat surface with a velocity v. The disc strikes a wall head-on and bou

qwelly [4]

Answer:

-v/2

Explanation:

Given that:

a disc of mass m

Collides with the wall going through a sliding motion on on the plane smooth surface.

Upon rebounding from the wall its kinetic energy becomes one-fourth of the initial kinetic energy before collision.

<u>We know, kinetic energy is given as:</u>

$KE_i=\frac{1}{2}. m.v^2$

consider this to be the initial kinetic energy of the body.

<u>Now after collision:</u>

$KE_f=\frac{1}{4}\times KE_i$

$KE_f=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}\times m.v^2$

Considering that the mass of the body remains constant before and after collision.

$KE_f=\frac{1}{2}\times m.(\frac{v}{2})^2$

Therefore the velocity of the body after collision will become half of the initial velocity but its direction is also reversed which can be denoted by a negative sign.
