9. Use the following information to answer parts a, b, c and d Verdah, Hetav and Dhinesh are undertaking an investigation into the motion of wooden blocks in their Physics class. Their aim is to determine the effect that mass has on the horizontal motion of the wooden block across a table.
Verdah suggests that they use a launcher to give both blocks the same initial velocity and that they use the same table for each trial.
The blocks are made from the same wood but have different masses. The mass of block A (m1) is twice the mass of block B (m2). The coefficient of friction between the blocks and the table is u.

a. Hetav hypothesises that block A will travel a greater distance across the table before coming to rest. WITHOUT using an equation provide an explanation for Hetav's hypothesis.

b. Dhinesh disagrees with Hetav and states that block B will travel a greater distance before coming to rest. WITHOUT using an equation provide an explanation for Dhinesh's hypothesis.

c. Derive a mathematical expression that the students could use to find the distance block A travels after it leaves the launcher. Upload a copy of your HANDWRITTEN working clearly identifying all equations and constants used in your derivation. Make sure your name is visible next to your working.

d. Using the equation derived in part c to support your answer, justify if Hetav or Dhinesh was correct in their hypothesis.

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. the index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?
