A laboratory experiment produces a single-slit diffraction pattern on a screen. If the slit is made narrower, the bright fringes

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

The relation between the distance between the fringes is given by

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

where, D is the distance between the plane of slit and the screen

d is the width of slit, λ is the wavelength of light used.

As the slit made narrower, that means d decreases, the value of y increases, that means the fringes move farther.

A car takes 10 s to go from v = 0 m/s to v = 25 m/s at constant acceleration. If you wish to find the distance traveled using th
german

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

time taken (t) = 10s

acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity, so formula is

a = (v - u)/t

a = (25 - 10)/10

a = 15/10

a = 1.5 m/(s^2)

Use this value of a.

Describe what happens when you jump from a small boat onto a dock from the perspective of the 3rd Law.
IgorLugansk [536]

according to newton's third law, every action has equal and opposite reaction. in this scenario of making a jump from the boat onto a dock, as i jump my feet in contact with the boat push the boat in backward direction. hence the action force is the push by my feet on the boat. the boat reacts by applying a reaction force on my feet pushing the feet in forward direction. hence reaction force here is the force by the boat on the feet. due to the reaction force of the boat on feet, i am pushed in forward direction to reach the the dock.

A 70.0 kg base runner moving at a speed of 4.0 m/s begins his slide into second base. The coefficient of friction between his cl
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

B. 560 J

J. 1.2 m

Explanation:

v = Final velocity = 0

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.7

m = Mass of runner = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 70\times (0^2-4^2)\\\Rightarrow K=-560\ \text{J}

The mechanical energy lost is 560 J

Acceleration is given by

a=-\mu g\\\Rightarrow a=-0.7\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow a=-6.867\ \text{m/s}^2

From kinematic equations we get

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-4^2}{2\times -6.867}\\\Rightarrow s=1.165\approx 1.2\ \text{m}

The runner slides for 1.2 m

\textsf {a) As there is no change in the initial and final positions, the displacement is}\\\textsf {equal to 0.}

b) Finding total distance :

Distance travelled from 0 s to 5 s :

  • 1/2 x 5 x 30 = 75 m

Distance travelled from 5 s to 10 s :

  • 5 x 30 = 150 m

Distance travelled from 10 s to 15 s :

  • 150 + 1/2 x 5 x 5
  • 150 + 12.5 = 162.5 m

Distance travelled from 15 s to 20 s :

  • 36 x 5 + 1/2 x 5 x 4
  • 180 + 10 = 190 m

Distance travelled from 20 s to 25 s :

  • 45 x 5 + 1/2 x 5 x 5
  • 225 + 12.5 = 237.5 m

Distance travelled from 25 s to 30 s :

  • 40 x 5 + 1/2 x 10 x 5
  • 200 + 25 = 225 m

Distance travelled from 30 s to 35 s :

  • 20 x 5 + 1/2 x 20 x 5
  • 100 + 50 = 150 m

Distance travelled from 35 s to 40 s :

  • 1/2 x 20 x 5
  • 50 m

Total = 75 + 150 + 162.5 + 190 + 237.5 + 225 + 150 + 50

Total = 1240 m

c) velocity at t = 15 s

  • 36/15
  • 12/5
  • 2.4 m/s

d) average velocity

  • 0 m/s (as displacement is equal to 0)

e) average speed

  • 1240/40
  • 31 m/s

f) Part d uses displacement whereas part e uses distance

Maria drove to the store and then to work . What is marias total displacement during her trip
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance between two points. Displacement is used to calculate vector quantities such a velocity, force, acceleration, etc.

Here, Maria drove to the store and then to work this means that her total displacement will be the minimum distance between her initial point and her work place.

Hence, the minimum distance between her initial point and her work place is her total displacement.
