klio [65]
Light waves are reflected from front and back surfaces of the thin films and constructive interference between the two reflected waves occurs in different places for different wavelengths. Light shining on the upper surface of the thin film with thickness t is partly reflected at the upper surface (path abc). Light transmitted from the upper surface is partly reflected at the lower surface (path abdef). The two reflected waves come together at point P on the retina of the eye. Depending on the phase relationship, they may interfere constructively or destructively. Different colors have different wavelengths, so the interference may be constructive for some colors and destructive for others.

A charged particle A exerts a force of 2.45 μN to the right on charged particle B when the particles are 12.2 mm apart. Particle
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

F_2 = 1.10 \mu N

Explanation:

As we know that the electrostatic force is a based upon inverse square law

so we have

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

now since it depends inverse on the square of the distance so we can say

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

now we know that

r_2 = 18.2 mm

r_1 = 12.2 mm

also we know that

F_1 = 2.45 \mu N

now from above equation we have

F_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} F_1

F_2 = \frac{12.2^2}{18.2^2}(2.45\mu N)

F_2 = 1.10 \mu N

Your friend thinks that the escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects. Provide an ar
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Concepts and Principles

1- Kinetic Energy: The kinetic energy of an object is:

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

where m is the object's mass and v is its speed relative to the chosen coordinate system.  

2- Gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and any object is:  

 U_g = -Gm_E*m_o/r*E-o                                   (2)  

where m_E is the mass of Earth (5.97x 10^24 kg), m_o is the mass of the object, and G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 is Newton's gravitational constant.  

Solution  

The argument:  

My friend thinks that escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects because the gravitational pull on a more massive object is greater than the gravitational pull for a less massive object and therefore the more massive object needs more speed to escape this gravitational pull.  

The counterargument:  

We provide a mathematical counterargument. Consider a projectile of mass m, leaving the surface of a planet with escape speed v. The projectile has a kinetic energy K given by Equation (1):

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

and a gravitational potential energy Ug given by Equation (2):  

Ug = -G*Mm/R

where M is the mass of the planet and R is its radius. When the projectile reaches infinity, it stops and thus has no kinetic energy. It also has no potential energy because an infinite separation between two bodies is our zero-potential-energy configuration. Therefore, its total energy at infinity is zero. Applying the principle of energy consersation, we see that the total energy at the planet's surface must also have been zero:  

K+U=0  

1/2*m*v^2 + (-G*Mm/R) = 0

1/2*m*v^2 =  G*Mm/R

1/2*v^2 = G*M/R

solving for v we get

v = √2G*M/R

so we see v does not depend on the mass of the projectile
