A baseball player slides into second base. What happens to his momentum?

2 answers:

7 0

He momentum is reduced by external forces of friction and air resistance. Momentum is not conserved here because this is not a closed system.

Due to friction from sliding against the ground, the player decelerates in 1 direction. Thus his momentum decreases.

Coherent light of frequency 6.37×1014 Hz passes through two thin slits and falls on a screen 88.0 cm away. You observe that the

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency $f= 6.37\times10^{14}\ Hz$

Distance of the screen l = 88.0 cm

Position of the third order y =3.10 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{6.37\times10^{14}}$

$\lambda=471\ nm$

We need to calculate the distance between the two slits

$m\times \lambda=d\sin\theta$

$d =\dfrac{m\times\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, m = number of fringe

d = distance between the two slits

Here, $\sin\theta =\dfrac{y}{l}$

Put the value into the formula

$d=\dfrac{3\times471\times10^{-9}\times88.0\times10^{-2}}{3.10\times10^{-2}}$

$d=40.11\times10^{-6}\ m$

$d = 40.11\ \mu m$

Hence, The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.
