If the width of the slit is increased by a factor of two , then the central maxima will get decreased by half.

since , width of the central maxima is inversely proportional to the width of the slit . Which implies if width of the slit get increased then width of the central maxima will get decreased and vice versa.

central maxima = (2 * wavelength * D) / width of the slit

                          = (2 * lambda * D) / d

if initially width of the slit = d

then, after increasing it by a factor of two it become =  2d

central maxima  =  (2 * lambda * D) / 2d

                           = (lambda * D) / d

If the width of the slit is increased by a factor of two , then the central maxima will get decreased by half.

the small electric shock you feel when you rub your shoes on carpet and touch something metal is caused by..?1. direct current2.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

1. direct current  2. induction  3. conduction

Explanation:

When we walk barefoot on a carpet there is friction between the carpet surface and the lower surface of the feet which results in the exchange of charges between the two surfaces. During this course the carpet loses electron to the surface of the foot. Now, the charge on the carpet is static because it is an insulator but a human body being a good conductor of electricity has mobility of the charges.(3)

These mobile charges on the surface of a human body spread and look for a path of dissipation to a reservoir. When we bring our hand near a metal it induces an opposite charge near the surface of the metal,(2) this happens within a fraction of seconds. Now there is a positive charge on the nearest point on the metal and the negative charge on its farthest end is induced according to the conservation of charges.

As soon as the hand touches the metal (1)there is a transfer of charge from our body to the metal generating a very small shock. This happens only if we continue to stand on an insulated surface due to which the charge doesn't gets transferred to the ground.

12345 [234]

Answer:

Option A is correct

Explanation:

Direction of spin can be measured because of the behaviours of the particle as it goes through a magnetic field and the size of the spin is dependant on type of particle.

How much tension must a cable withstand to accellerate a 1400 kg car vertically upward at 0.70 m/s^2
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

The cars upward accel adds to the gravity accel (think about how suddenly heavy you feel when the elevator starts to move upward)

F = tension = ma

                   = 1400 * ( .7 + 9.81) = 14714 N

MariettaO [177]
Work is defined as force*displacement so total d=8.5m and force will be 2kg*g which is roughly 20N of force so W = 20N*8.5m=170J

For part b the gravitational energy is m*g*h so gravitational energy = 200J since 2kg*10 m/s^2 *10m so the change since the work is 170 j means total change is 170J and 30J is left
