The distance from the base of the building the rock will land is 26.4 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Distance (s) =?
<h3>Determination of the time to reach the ground </h3>
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

8.5 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

8.5 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 8.5 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(8.5 / 4.9)

t = 1.32 s

<h3>How to determine the distance </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Time (t) = 1.32 s
  • Distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 20 × 1.32

s = 26.4 m

A tank of gasoline (n = 1.40) is open to the air (n = 1.00). A thin film of liquid floats on the gasoline and has a refractive i
klio [65]

Answer:

1.08

Explanation:

This is the case of interference in thin films in which interference bands are formed due to constructive interference of two reflected light waves , one from upper layer and the other from lower layer . If t be the thickness and μ be the refractive index then

path difference created will be 2μ t.

For light coming from rarer to denser medium , a phase change of π occurs additionally after reflection from denser medium, here, two times, once from upper layer and then from the lower layer ,  so for constructive interference

path diff = nλ , for minimum t , n =1

path diff = λ

2μ t. =  λ

μ = λ / 2t

= 626 / 2 x 290

= 1.08

A silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200°C to 100°C. What will be the length of the bar after
Delicious77 [7]
\Delta L=  \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248

The wavelength of light is 5000 angstrom. Express it in nm and m.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1 angstrom = 0.1nm

5000 angstrom = 5000/1 × 0.1nm

<h3>= 500nm</h3>

1 \:  angstrom = 1 \times  {10}^{ - 10} m

5000 angstrom = 5000 × 1 × 10^-10

<h3>= 5 × 10^-7 m</h3>

Hope this helps you
