Answer:

Instead of pushing straight down, the load of an arch bridge is carried outward along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end. The weight is transferred to the supports at either end. These supports, called the abutments, carry the load and keep the ends of the bridge from spreading out.

What is the wavelength of light that is deviated in the first order through an angle of 13.1 ∘ by a transmission grating having

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The wavelength of light is $4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 13.1°

Number of slits = 5000

We need to calculate the wavelength of light

Diffraction of first order is defined as,

$d \sin\theta=n\lambda$ .....(I)

The separation of the slits

$d = \dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{5000}$

$d=2\times10^{-6}\ m$

Now put the value in equation (I)

$2\times10^{-6}\sin13.1^{\circ}=\lambda$

Here, n = 1

$\lambda=4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

Hence, The wavelength of light is $4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

The tape in a videotape cassette has a total

Softa [21]

Answer:

1.37 rad/s

Explanation:

Given:

Total length of the tape is, $d= 297$ m

Total time of run is, $t = 2.1$ hours

We know, 1 hour = 3600 s

So, 2.1 hours = 2.1 × 3600 = 7560 s

So, total time of run is, $t= 7560$ s

Inner radius is, $r = 10\ mm = 0.01\ m
$

Outer radius is, $R = 47\ mm = 0.047\ m
$

Now, linear speed of the tape is, $v =\frac{d}{t}=\frac{297}{7560}=0.039\ m/s
$

Let the same angular speed be $\omega$ .

Now, average radius of the reel is given as the sum of the two radii divided by 2.

So, average radius is, $R_{avg}=\frac{R+r}{2}=\frac{0.047+0.01}{2}=\frac{0.057}{2}=0.0285\ m
$

Now, common angular speed is given as the ratio of linear speed and average radius of the tape. So,

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{R_{avg}}\\\\\\\omega=\dfrac{0.039}{0.0285}\\\\\\\omega=1.37\ rad/s
$

Therefore, the common angular speed of the reels is 1.37 rad/s.

A gas expands and does PV work on its surroundings equal to 319 J. At the same time, it absorbs 136 J of heat from the surroundi

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The change in energy of the gas during the process is $-1.83\times 10^{2}$ joules.

Explanation:

We can represent this process by the First Law of Thermodynamics, in which gas does work on its surroundings and absorbs heat from there to describe its change in energy. In other words:

$Q_{in} - W_{out} = \Delta E$

Where:

$Q_{in}$ - Heat absorbed by the gas, measured in joules.

$W_{out}$ - Work done by the gas, measured in joules.

$\Delta E$ - Change in energy, measured in joules.

If we know that $Q_{in} = 1.36\times 10^{2}\,J$ and $W_{out} = 3.19\times 10^{2}\,J$ , the change in energy of the gas is:

$\Delta E = 1.36\times 10^{2}\,J-3.19\times 10^{2}\,J$

$\Delta E = -1.83\times 10^{2}\,J$

The change in energy of the gas during the process is $-1.83\times 10^{2}$ joules.

Which component of a loudspeaker produces sound waves? a solenoid coil a thin membrane a permanent magnet

zimovet [89]

Answer: A thin membrane.

Explanation:

When a sound signal is allowed to pass through the voice coil suspended between permanent magnet, magnetic field will be induced which will cause vibration in the diaphragm - a thin membrane causing disturbance of air in the surrounding of membranes which eventually produce sound waves.

Therefore, we can conclude that a thin membrane of the loud speaker produces sound waves

Which force prevents protons from repelling each other inside a nucleus?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

So, the correct answer is the strong nuclear force. It actually pulls together nuetrons and protons that are in the nucleus. At very tiny distances only, like those inside the nucleus, so, this strong force succeded in dealing with the electromagnetic force, and it basically stops the electrical repulsion of protons from blowing apart the nucleus.

Mark as brainlies please, I need a few more :D
