The superposition principle is responsible for alternating light and dark bands when light passes through two or more narrow slits.

The intensity pattern that appears on the lit screen is determined by the superposition principle. When the difference in pathways from the two slits to a location on the screen equals an integral number of wavelengths (0,λ,2λ ,...), constructive interference takes place.

The fact that the two waves' crests follow different paths ensures that they do. A distinctive pattern of brilliant and dark fringes is seen when monochromatic light illuminates a distant screen after passing through two small openings. The superposition of overlapping light waves coming from the two slits results in this interference pattern.

Saludos!

Respuesta:

28,64 m/s.

Explicación:

Datos: 

Altura o distancia recorrida: 40 m
Vo: 6 m/s 
Aceleración de la gravedad: 9,81 m/s²

El ejercicio puede ser resuelto facilmente utilizando la siguiente formula, sin embargo es posible realizarlo utilizando formulas diferentes. 

Entonces tenemos que:

Vf ^{2} -Vo ^{2} =2 x g x h

Es importante saber que al estar lanzando el ladrillo hacia abajo, el sentido del movimiento sigue el sentido de la gravedad, es decir es necesario que tomes el valor de la gravedad como positivo (+) y no negativo (-) como normalmente se usa.

Sustituyendo tenemos que:

Vf x^{2} =(6 m/s) ^{2} +(2)x(9,81 m/s ^{2})x(40m) \\ Vf ^{2} =820,8 m^{2} /s ^{2}  \\  \sqrt{Vf ^{2} } = \sqrt{820,8m^{2}/s ^{2}  }  \\ Vf=28,64 m/s

Que tengas un buen día!

What is the magnitude of a vector with components (15 m, 8 m)?
il63 [147K]
The answer is 17 m because you have to add the 15 m and the 8 m together to get the answer so it will be like this 17x17 = 15x15 + 8x8 got it?

1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by F=mg, where m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is 
F=mg=(2.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=21.6 N

2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different:g=3.7 m/s^2. The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: F=mg=(2.2 kg)(3.7 m/s^2)=8.1 N

3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus: 
g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{ 19.6 N}{2.2 kg}=8.9 m/s^2

4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg: 
g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg} =23.1 m/s^2

5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as 
g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.3 N}{0.5 kg} =0.6 m/s^2

<span>6) On Earth, the gravity acceleration is </span>g=9.81 m/s^2<span>. The mass of the pair of shoes is m=0.5 kg, therefore their weight on Earth is 
</span>F=mg=(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=4.9 N<span>
