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.

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(a)  104 N

(b) 52 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°

F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp

The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.  

The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.

(a)  

Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.  

Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:  

Fx=Fcos30°

Solve for F:  

F= Fx/cos30°  

Substitute for Fx from given data:  

Fx=90 N/cos30°

   =104 N

(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:

     Fy = Fsin 30°

   Substitute for F from part (a):

     Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)  

          = 52 N

How much force does it take to bring a 1,375 N car from rest to a velocity of 26 m/s in 6 seconds?
V125BC [204]

Explanation:

<u>Mass of car</u> = 137.5 kg

<u>Acceleration</u> = v - u / t = 26 - 0 / 6 = 4.33 m/sec^2

Force = m * a = 137.5 * 4.33 = 595.3 N

Two electric charges, held a distance, dd, apart experience an electric force of magnitude, FF, between them. If one of the char
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

F'=2F

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case, we have q_1'=2q_1:

F'=\frac{kq'_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2q_1)q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2F

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)
Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and \Delta T is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
