The center of mass isn't affected by the explosion.

To find the answer, we need to know about the trajectory of motion at zero external force.

<h3>How is the trajectory of an object changed when the net external force on it is zero?</h3>
  • When there's no net external force acting on an object, its momentum doesn't change with time.
  • As its momentum doesn't change, so it continues with the original trajectory.
<h3>Why doesn't the trajectory of firework change when it's exploded?</h3>
  • When a firework is exploded, its internal forces are changed, but there's no external force.
  • So, although the fragments follow different trajectories, but the trajectory of center of mass remains unchanged.

Thus, we can conclude that the center of mass isn't affected by the explosion.

There are 5510 lines per centimeter in a grating that is used with light whose wavelegth is 467 nm. A flat observation screen is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

1.696 nm

Explanation:

For a diffraction grating, dsinθ = mλ where d = number of lines per metre of grating = 5510 lines per cm = 551000 lines per metre and λ = wavelength of light = 467 nm = 467 × 10⁻⁹ m. For a principal maximum, m = 1. So,

dsinθ = mλ = (1)λ = λ

dsinθ = λ

sinθ = λ/d.

Also tanθ = w/D where w = distance of center of screen to principal maximum and D = distance of grating to screen = 1.03 m

From trig ratios 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ

1 + (1/tan²θ) = 1/(sin²θ)

substituting the values of sinθ and tanθ we have

1 + (D/w)² = (d/λ)²

(D/w)² = (d/λ)² - 1

(w/D)² = 1/[(d/λ)² - 1]

(w/D) = 1/√[(d/λ)² - 1]

w = D/√[(d/λ)² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(551000/467 × 10⁻⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(1179.87 × 10⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/1179.87 × 10⁹  = 0.000848 × 10⁻⁹ = 0.848 × 10⁻¹² m = 0.848 nm.

w is also the distance from the center to the other principal maximum on the other side.

So for both principal maxima to be on the screen, its minimum width must be 2w = 2 × 0.848 nm = 1.696 nm

So, the minimum width of the screen must be 1.696 nm

Which describes the movement of a fluid during convection?
VikaD [51]
The movement of a fluid during convection is a circular/oval motion since the fluid at the top sinks and the fluid at the bottom rises.
