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.

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the distance to the screen is 100 cm. What is the phas

Anni [7]

Answer:

The phase difference is $\Delta \phi = 180^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between the slits is $d = 0.2 \ mm = \frac{0.2}{1000} = 0.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance to the screen is $D = 100 cm = \frac{100}{100} = 1 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 400nm$

The distance of the wave from the central maximum is $L = 5mm = 5*10^{-3} m$

Generally the path difference of this waves is mathematically represented as

$y = d sin \theta$

Here $\theta$ is the angle between the the line connecting the mid-point of the slits with the screen and the line connecting the mid-point of the slits to the central maximum

This implies that

$tan \theta = \frac{L}{D}$

=> $\theta = tan ^{-1} \frac{L}{D}$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{5*10^{-3}}{1}]$

$\theta =0.2865$

Substituting values into the formula for path difference

$y = 0.2 *10^{-3} sin(0.2864)$

$y = 9.997*10^{-7} \ m$

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda } * y$

Substituting values

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{400 *10^{-9} } \ * 9.997*10^{-7}$

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi$

Converting to degree

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi radians = 5 (180^o) = 180^o$

the solution is subtracted by 360° in order to get the actual angle

What was the main view how the world worked geologically prior to the 1960s? It was generally believed that continents and ocean

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces

Explanation:

The main view of the world worked geologically prior to the 1960s was that the mountains were formed by the vertical forces of nature.

The early people prior to 1960s believed in many different natural phenomenons and they give their own reasons for their occurrence. But later many researchers and geophysicists studied the formation of the earth and came with possible answers to these questions.

Thus the answer is

" It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces."

A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m

Damm [24]

Answer

given,

Tension of string is F

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone

= $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T = $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.
