Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

allsm [11]

This question is incomplete, the complete question;

you make an interferometer using 50-50 beam splitter and two mirrors, one being a perfect mirror and one which does not reflect all light. The wavelength of the 9 mW incident laser is 400 nm.

Because the top mirror is not perfectly reflective (it reflects 90% of the photons, allowing 10% of them to go through), the power measured at the detector when only the vertical arm is blocked is 2.25 mW, while the power measured at the detector when only the horizontal arm is blocked is only 2.025 mW. Assume initially the intensity is at its maximum. How much would we need to translate the perfect mirror to the right to get a minimum intensity at detector, and what is that minimum intensity

Options;

a) 200 nm; 0.9 mW

b) 100 nm, 0.0059 mW

c) 200 nm; 0 mW

d) 100 nm; 0.9 mW

e) 200 nm; 0.0059 mW

Answer:

the amount we need to translate the perfect mirror to the right to get a minimum intensity at detector  and the minimum intensity are;

100 nm; 0.0059 mW

Option b) 100 nm, 0.0059 mW is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that the instrument here is an interferometer.

Maximum intensity is obtained when the two waves are exactly in phase.

that is the peaks (crusts and troughs) and nodes (zero value points) of the two waves will be at the exact same point when the wave falls on the detector.

The phase factor of this point is taken as ∅ = 0

Now, to get a minimum point, the phase difference between the two waves should be should be ∅ = π

This corresponds to a path difference between the two waves as half of the wavelength. λ/2

The light gets reflected from the mirror.

Hence, when we move the mirror by a length l, the extra/less path the light has to travel is 2l (light is going and coming back)

hence, to get a path difference of λ/2 the mirror should move half of this distance only

so, the mirror should move;

l = λ/4

here, wavelength is 400nm

the length moved by the mirror = 400/4 = 100 nm

The intensity is given by the equation;

l = l1 + l2 + 2√l1l2cos(∅)

where

l1 = 2.25 mW

l2 = 2.025 mW

∅ = π

so we substitute

l = 2.25 + 2.025 - 2√(2.25 × 2.025)

l = 4.275 - 4.26907

l = 0.0059

Therefore; the amount we need to translate the perfect mirror to the right to get a minimum intensity at detector  and the minimum intensity are;

100 nm; 0.0059 mW

Option b) 100 nm, 0.0059 mW is the correct answer

A boy slides a book across the floor using a force of five and over a distance of 2M what is the kinetic energy of the book afte
Alinara [238K]

Answer: 10Nm or 10J

Explanation:

Given the following :

Force (f) = 5

Distance (d) = 2m

Calculate the kinetic energy assuming no friction

Work done = force × distance

Work done = 5N × 2m = 10Nm

Recall :

Work done = ΔK.E ( change in kinetic energy)

Therefore, kinetic energy of the book after sliding = ΔK. E, which is equal to work done.

Hence, K. E of book after sliding is 10Nm
