An unspecified force causes a 0.20-kg object to accelerate at 0.40 m/s2. If 0.30 kg is added to the 0.20-kg object and the force

remains the same, what is the acceleration (in m/s2) of the heavier object? (NEVER include units with the answer to a numerical question.)

Answer:

a = 0.16

Explanation:

given,

mass of the object 1 = 0.2 kg

mass of the object 2 = 0.3 kg

acceleration when force is on 0.2 kg = 0.4 m/s²

acceleration when both mass are combine = ?

F = m a

F = 0.2 × 0.4

F = 0.08 N

force acting is same and total mass  = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5 Kg

F = m a

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{0.08}{0.5}

a = 0.16 m/s²

the acceleration  acting when both the body is attached is a = 0.16

A fisherman is watching water waves ripple past his boat. How could he determine the wavelength of the water waves?
natta225 [31]
Wavelength can be calculated using the following formula: wavelength = wave velocity/frequency. Wavelength usually is expressed in units of meters.

In Paul Hewitt's book, he poses this question: "If the forces that act on a bullet and the recoiling gun from which it is fired
Sauron [17]
They have different accelerations because of their masses. According to Newton's Second Law, an objects acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore the object with the larger mass, in this case the gun, will have a smaller acceleration. In the same way, the less massive object, being the bullet, will have a higher acceleration.

Hope this helps :)

A projectile of mass m is fired horizontally with an initial speed of v0​ from a height of h above a flat, desert surface. Negle
Grace [21]

Complete question is;

A projectile of mass m is fired horizontally with an initial speed of v0 from a height of h above a flat, desert surface. Neglecting air friction, at the instant before the projectile hits the ground, find the following in terms of m, v0, h and g:

(a) the work done by the force of gravity on the projectile,

(b) the change in kinetic energy of the projectile since it was fired, and

(c) the final kinetic energy of the projectile.

(d) Are any of the answers changed if the initial angle is changed?

Answer:

A) W = mgh

B) ΔKE = mgh

C) K2 = mgh + ½mv_o²

D) No they wouldn't change

Explanation:

We are expressing in terms of m, v0​, h, and g. They are;

m is mass

v0 is initial velocity

h is height of projectile fired

g is acceleration due to gravity

A) Now, the formula for workdone by force of gravity on projectile is;

W = F × h

Now, Force(F) can be expressed as mg since it is force of gravity.

Thus; W = mgh

Now, there is no mention of any angles of being fired because we are just told it was fired horizontally.

Therefore, even if the angle is changed, workdone will not change because the equation doesn't depend on the angle.

B) Change in kinetic energy is simply;

ΔKE = K2 - K1

Where K2 is final kinetic energy and K1 is initial kinetic energy.

However, from conservation of energy, we now that change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy.

Thus;

ΔKE = ΔPE

ΔPE = U2 - U1

U2 is final potential energy = mgh

U1 is initial potential energy = mg(0) = 0. 0 was used as h because at initial point no height had been covered.

Thus;

ΔKE = ΔPE = mgh

Again like a above, the change in kinetic energy will not change because the equation doesn't depend on the angle.

C) As seen in B above,

ΔKE = ΔPE

Thus;

½mv² - ½mv_o² = mgh

Where final kinetic energy, K2 = ½mv²

And initial kinetic energy = ½mv_o²

Thus;

K2 = mgh + ½mv_o²

Similar to a and B above, this will not change even if initial angle is changed

D) All of the answers wouldn't change because their equations don't depend on the angle.

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.4
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t  (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

replacing ;

Δx = 2t   ; we have:

2t = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

Given that thickness t = 700 nm

Then

2× 700 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     --- equation (1)

For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference

2× 980 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     ----- equation (2)

Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'

λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )

λ = 1960 - 1400

λ = 560 nm

Thus;  the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

b)  

For the smallest thickness t_{min} ; \ \ \ m =0

∴ 2t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{2}

t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{4}

t_{min} =\frac{560}{4}

t_{min} =140 \ \  nm

Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm
