The answer is "False". The force acting on the object is 27 N.

According to Newton's second law, when a force F acts on am object of mass m, it produces an acceleration a. The force is given by the expression,

$F=ma$

Thus, if the body has a mass of 9.0 kg and if it has an acceleration of 3 m/s², then, on substituting the values in the equation for force,

$F=ma\\ =(9.0kg)(3m/s^2)\\ =27N$

Thus, it can be seen that the force acting on the body is 27 N and not 3 N as is mentioned in the statement. Hence the statement is false.

Light of wavelength 436.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.31 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is "4.26 m".

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

$\lambda = 436.1 \ nm$

or,

$=436.1\times 10^{-9} \ m$

Distance,

$d = 0.31 \ mm$

or,

$=0.31\times 10^{-3} \ m$

Distance between the 1st and 2nd dark fringes,

$(y_2-y_1) = 6\times 10^{-3} \ m$

As we know,

⇒ $\frac{d}{L} (y_2-y_1) = \lambda$

or,

⇒ $L=\frac{d(y_2-y_1)}{\lambda}$

By substituting the values, we get

$=\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^{-6}}{436.1\times 10^{-9}}$

$=\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^3}{436.1}$

$=\frac{1860}{436.1}$

$=4.26 \ m$

Does a good insulator prevent energy from getting through it, or slow its passage

9966 [12]

A good heat insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the heat energy
from any heat that flows through it.

A good electrical insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the energy
from any electric current that flows through it.
