6 0

Answer:

v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise, let's use the expression

         v_{y}^{2} = v_{oy}^{2} + 2 g (y -yo)

where we are assuming that there is friction with the air, as the body falls its initial velocity is zero

         v_{oy} = √ 2g (y - y₀)

let's calculate

         v_{y} = √ (2 9.8 (0-54.0))

         v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

The distance between slits in a double-slit experiment is decreased by a factor of 2. If the distance between fringes is small c
Elodia [21]

Answer:

the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Explanation:

To find how the distance between fringes is modified you can use the following formula for the calculation of the distance between fringes:

\Delta y=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

D: distance to the screen

d: distance between slits

λ: wavelength of the light

if d is decreased by a factor of 2, that is d'=1/2d, you have:

\Delta y'=\frac{\lambda D}{d'}=\frac{\lambda D}{(1/2)d}=2\Delta y

hence, the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?
san4es73 [151]

Frost will disturb the smooth flow of air over the wing, unpleasantly distressing its lifting competence. In other words, this spoils the even flow of air over the wings, by this means decreasing lifting capability. Also, frost may avoid the airplane from becoming flying at normal departure speed.
