Answer:

A) Distance

Explanation:

The shortest distance that is represented as the measurement from one point to another is called distance.

It should not be confused with displacement as it represents the sum of the distances travelled by a body or person.

In the two-slit experiment, monochromatic light of frequency 5.00 × 1014 Hz passes through a pair of slits separated by 2.20 × 1

asambeis [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of monochromatic light, $f=5\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Separation between slits, $d=2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m$

(a) The condition for maxima is given by :

$d\ sin\theta=n\lambda$

For third maxima,

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{nc}{fd})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{3\times 3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5\times 10^{14}\ Hz\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m})$

$\theta=4.69^{\circ}$

(b) For second dark fringe, n = 2

$d\ sin\theta=(n+1/2)\lambda$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\lambda}{2d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5c}{2df})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\times 3\times 10^8}{2\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\times 5\times 10^{14}})$

$\theta=3.90^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The y-component of the force F which a person exerts on the handle of the box wrench is known to be 86 lb. Determine the x-compo

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

x-component of force is 38.18 lb where as magnitude of Force is 93.16

Explanation:

Fy of the force F exerted on the handle of the box wrench = 86 lb

Considering the triangle in Fig 1

magnitude of perpendicular = P = 12

magnitude of base = B = 5

using Pythagoras theorem

$H= \sqrt{P^{2} + B^{2}}$

$H= \sqrt{12^{2} + 5^{2}}$

$H=13\\\implies cos \theta = \frac{5}{13} \\\implies sin \theta = \frac{12}{13}\\$

y-component of force is given given as:

$86 = Fsin\theta\\F = 86 (\frac{13}{12})\\F = 93.16 lb\\F_{x} =F cos \theta\\F_{x} = 93.16 (\frac{5}{13})\\F_{x} =38.18 lb.$

When you have a pot of water on the stove, heat is transferred to the water. Describe the behavior of the water molecules and ho

NikAS [45]

<span>Temperature causes water molecules to move more quickly, because each individual molecule has more energy as it gets hotter (according to Kinetic molecular theory). If you get water hot enough, the molecules move so much that the hydrogen bonds that hold them together start to break and the water becomes a gas ... water vapor. This your answer unless there are choices.</span>
