Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m
1 answer:
The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.
To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.
<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>- It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.
- We have the expression for slit width w as,
where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.
- Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,
Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

Answer:
(a) 490 N on earth
(b) 80 N on earth
(c) 45.4545 kg on earth
(d) 270.27 kg on moon
Explanation:
We have given 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs on earth
And 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs on moon
(a) We have given mass of the person m = 50 kg
As it is given that 1 kg = 9.8 N
So 50 kg = 50×9.8 =490 N
(b) Mass of the person on moon = 50 kg
As it is given that on moon 1 kg = 1.6 N
So 50 kg = 50×1.6 = 80 N
(c) We have given that weight of the person on the earth = 100 lbs
As it is given that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs on earth
So 100 lbs = 45.4545 kg
(d) We have given weight of the person on moon = 100 lbs
As it is given that 1 kg = 0.37 lbs
So 100 lbs
Answer:
1) The mass of the student is approximately 73.39 kg
2) The net force on the student is approximately 947.523 N
3) The value the scale will read is approximately 96.59 kg
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The weight of the student = 720 N
The speed at which the elevator is decreasing = 3.1 m/s²
1) The weight of the student = The mass of the student × The acceleration due to gravity
The acceleration due to gravity is a constant = 9.81 m/s²
Substituting the known values gives;
720 N = The mass of the student × 9.81 m/s²
∴ The mass of the student = 720 N/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 73.39 kg
2) The forces acting on the student are;
i) The force of gravity which is the weight of the student acting downwards
ii) The inertia force of the slowing elevator acting downwards in the same direction as the weight of the student
The net force, = The weight of the student + The inertia force of the slowing elevator
∴ The net force, = 720 N + 73.39 kg × 3.1 m/s² ≈ 947.523 N
3) The scale will read the mass of the student as follows;
Mass reading of student on the scale = Force on scale/9.81
∴ Mass reading of student on the scale = 947.523/9.81 ≈ 96.59 kg
The value the scale will read = 96.59 kg.
