Physics

KIM [24]2 years ago

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs

An astronaut is traveling in a space vehicle moving at 0.490c relative to the Earth. The astronaut measures her pulse rate at 66
marta [7]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to use the reciprocal Lorenz factor of the special theory of relativity with the pulse rate.

\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} * \alpha

Where,

\Xi = Pulse rate measured by earth observed

\alpha = Reciprocal Lorenz Factor

\alpha = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

Here v is the velocity and c the light speed.

PART A) For the given values we can replace it at the previous equation,

\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} *\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

\Xi = 66beats/min * \sqrt{1-\frac{(0.49c)^2}{c^2}}

\Xi = 57.5beats/min

PART B ) If the speed of vehicle is 0.94c:

\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} *\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

\Xi = 66beats/min * \sqrt{1-\frac{(0.94c)^2}{c^2}}

\Xi = 22.5beats/min

What is the biggest disadvantage of solar electricity, or at least, why is it not used much more than it currently is?
Lesechka [4]
<span>The Solar electricity source of energy comes from the sun’s rays. It is more often in the form of a panel known as the solar panel. It has a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies energy in commercial and residential areas. Even though numerous countries are using this type of electricity to save electric-induced power, it is not used for a number of reasons. One is that 1 panel with a size of 6 by 10 solar cells is expensive. There are countries who cannot afford to buy them. Two, it requires a larger area to place the panel. Three, the efficiency is low. The smaller the panel is, the lower its efficiency and therefore produces lesser power to generate a specific area.  </span>

A motorcycle is capable of accelerating at 1.5 m/s2. Starting from rest, how far can it travel in 0.5 seconds?
Helen [10]
Answer:
Here,
Initial velocity(u)=0 m/s
acceleration(a)=1.5m/s
time(t)=0.5s
Now,
distance covered(s)=ut+(1/2)at^2
                            =0*0.5+(1/2)*1.5*0.5*0.5
                             =0+(1/2)*0.375
                             =0+0.1875
                             =0.1875(nearly 0.19)
Hence,0.19 is correct answer.
