Answer:

2014.44 N

Explanation:

mass of spacecraft, m = 1850 kg

distance r = 3 x R

where r be the radius of earth.

g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth and g' be the acceleration due to gravity at height

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{r}  \right )^{2}

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{3R}  \right )^{2}

g' = g / 9

g' = 9.8 / 9 = 1.089 m/s²

Force of gravity on the space craft

F = m g' = 1850 x 1.089

F = 2014.44 N

Thus, the force of gravity on the space craft at height is 2014.44 N.

A grating whose slits are 3.2x10^-4 cm apart produces a third-order fringe at a 25.°0 angle. What is the wavelength of light tha
Ber [7]

Answer:

The light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.

Explanation:

let:

n be the order fringe

Ф be the angle that the light makes

d is the slit spacing of the grating

λ be the wavelength of the light

then, by Bragg's law:

n×λ = d×sin(Ф)

λ = d×sin(Ф)/n

λ = (3.2×10^-4 cm)×sin(25.0°)/3

  = 4.51×10^-5 cm

  ≈ 4.51×10^-7 m

Therefore, the light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.

A block rests on a ?at plate that executes vertical simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.58s.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

maximum amplitude  = 0.08 m

Explanation:

Given that

Time period T= 0.58 s

acceleration of gravity g= 9.8 m/s²

We know that time period of simple harmonic motion given as

T = 2π/ω

0.58 = 2π/ω

ω = 10.83rad/s

ω=angular frequency

Lets take amplitude = A

The maximum acceleration given as

a= ω² A

The maximum acceleration should be equal to g ,then block does not separate

a= ω² A

9.8 =  10.83² A

A = 0.08m

maximum amplitude  = 0.08 m
