A pair of narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.254 mm are illuminated by green light of wavelength 559 nm. An interference patt
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: 3.76 mm

Explanation: The formulae that defines the position of a nth fringe from the center of a double slit interference experiment is given below as

y =R×mλ/d

Where y = distance between the nth fringe and the center

R = distance between slits and screen = 1.71 m

m = position of fringe = 1

d = distance between slits = 0.254 mm = 0.000254m

λ = wavelength of light = 559 nm = 559×10^-9m

By substituting parameters, we have that

y = 1.71×1×559×10^-9/0.000254

y = 0.00000095589 / 0.000254

y = 0.00376m = 3.76 mm

A pendulum consists of a 1.7-kg block hanging on a 1.6-m length string. A 0.01-kg bullet moving with a horizontal velocity of 82
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

0.42 m

Explanation:

mass of pendulum, M = 1.7 kg

Length of pendulum , l = 1.6 m

mass of bullet, m = 0.01 kg

initial velocity of bullet, u = 828 m/s

final velocity of bullet, v = 340 m/s

initial velocity of pendulum, U = 0

Let the final velocity of pendulum is V.

Use conservation of momentum for bullet and the pendulum

m x u + M x U = m x v + M x V

0.01 x 828 + 1.7 x 0 = 0.01 x 340 + 1.7 x V

8.28 + 0 = 3.4 = 1.7 V

V = 2.87 m/s

Now the kinetic energy of the pendulum is converted into potential energy of pendulum and let it raised to a height of h from the initial level.

Use energy conservation

Kinetic energy of the pendulum  = potential energy of the pendulum

0.5 x M x V² = M x g x h

0.5 x 2.87 x 2.87 = 9.8 x h

h = 0.42 m

What was the speed of a space shuttle that orbited Earth at an altitude of 1482 km?
gregori [183]

Answer:

v = 7121.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the centripetal force for the space shuttle is due to gravitational force of earth due to which it will rotate in circular path with constant speed

so here we will have

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

here we know that

r = orbital radius = 6370 km + 1482 km

r = 7.852 \times 10^6 m

also we know that

M = 5.97 \times 10^{24} kg

now we will have

v^2 = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{7.852 \times 10^6}

v^2 = 5.07 \times 10^7

v = 7121.3 m/s

The brief wave of positive electrical charge that sweeps down the axon is _____.
kobusy [5.1K]
I believe Action potential is the brief wave of positive charge that sweeps down the axon. Axon is part of the neuron that conducts impulses from the dendrites towards the cell body along the neuron. The action potential is brief since the sodium channels can only stay open for a very brief amount of time. As it travels along the neuron there is a change in polarity across the membrane of the axon .
