(a) The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

(b) The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

<h3>Minimum force to be applied </h3>

The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is calculated as follows;

Fcosθ = μ(s)Fₙ

Fcosθ = μ(s)mg

where;

μ(s) is coefficient of static friction
m is mass of the block
g is acceleration due to gravity

F = [0.1(36)(9.8)] / [(cos(25)]

F = 38.9 N

<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>

F(net) = 38.9 - (0.03 x 36 x 9.8) = 28.32

a = F(net)/m

a = 28.32/36

a = 0.79 m/s²

Thus, the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

When I become a CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of a large company (like Amazon or Tesla), I would make the company more humane, with great parameters of working conditions, paying good salaries, so we would improve production and people would be happier , being an example to the whole world of a company that values and respects its employees.

<h3>Who is the CEO?</h3>

The CEO is essentially the highest-ranking executive in the company. He has most of the power. He reports directly to the board of directors. On the other hand, the president is below the CEO in the company hierarchy.

<h3>What does the CEO of a company do?</h3>

Direct the company's next steps through strategic planning; Take care, together with directors and shareholders of the company's health; Implement or modify processes within the company or sectors; Represent and relate to external audiences.

With this information, we can conclude that I would make the company more humane, with great parameters of working conditions

A slit has a width of W1 = 4.4 × 10-6 m. When light with a wavelength of λ1 = 487 nm passes through this slit, the width of the

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is $4.48*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to interference from two sources. Destructive interference produces the dark fringes. Dark fringes in the diffraction pattern of a single slit are found at angles θ for which

$w sin\theta = m\lambda$

Where,

w = width

$\lambda =$ wavelength

m is an integer, m = 1, 2, 3...

We here know that as $sin\theta$ as w are constant, then

$\frac{w_1}{\lambda_1} = \frac{w_2}{\lambda_2}$

We need to find $w_2$ , then

$w_2 = \frac{w_1}{\lambda_1}\lambda_2$

Replacing with our values:

$w_2 = \frac{4.4*10^{-6}}{487}496$

$w_2 = 4.48*10^{-6}m$

Therefore the width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is $4.48*10^{-6}m$
