In a plate glass factory, sheets of glass move along a conveyor belt at a speed of 15.0 cm/s. An automatic cutting tool descends

Leni [432]

Answer:

angle at which the cutter should be set = 32°

Explanation:

We are given;

Speed of conveyor belt; v1 = 15 cm/s

Width;w = 72 cm

Speed of the cutter that moves across the width; v2 = 24 cm/s

Let's calculate time;

Since the width and the rate at which the cutter works per seconds is given, thus;

Time = w/v2

Time = 72/24 = 3 seconds

Now, we know that, velocity = distance/time

Thus, distance = velocity x time

So, distance covered;d = 15 x 3 = 45 cm

Now, for us to calculate the angle the cutter should be set, we would treat it as a triangle.

When the cutter cuts it, it covers a distance d which is perpendicular to the width.

Thus, to calculate the angle made with the width, we'll use trigonometric ratio.

Thus, d/w = tan θ where θ is the angle at which the cutter should be set.

So, 45/72 = tan θ

tan θ = 0.625

θ = tan^(-1)0.625

θ = 32°

At sunset, red light travels horizontally through the doorway in the western wall of your beach cabin, and you observe the light

Nady [450]

Answer:

$9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

For light passing through a single slit, the position of the nth-minimum from the central bright fringe in the diffraction pattern is given by

$y=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

In this problem, we have

$\lambda=700 nm = 7.00\cdot 10^{-7}m$ is the wavelength of the red light

D = 14 m is the distance of the screen from the doorway

d = 1.0 m is the width of the doorway

Substituting n=1 into the equation, we find the distance between the central bright fringe and the first-order dark fringe (the first minimum):

$y=\frac{(1)(7.00\cdot 10^{-7} m)(14 m)}{1.0 m}=9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m$

What is the definition of Rock Strata and Law of Original Horizontality?

timurjin [86]

It's called the Principle of Original Horizontality
 it just means what it sounds like: that all rock layers were originally horizontal.
Of course, it only applies to sedimentary rocks.
Recall that sedimentary rock is composed of sediments, which are deposited and compacted in one place over time.
