Answer:

11.2m

Explanation:

Suppose the pumpkin is launched vertically and the speed of 13.9 m/s is absolutely vertical. As the pumpkin rises up, its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy, let the reference point be the round, we can create the following equation from the law of energy conservation:

E_1 + P_1 = E_2 + P_2

0.5mv_1^2 + mgh_1 = 0.5mv_2^2 + mgh_2

we can substitute g = 9.8m/s^2, v_1 = 13.9m/s, v_2 = 0.5v_1 = 0.5*13.9 = 6.95 m/s, h_1 = 3.8

We can also divide both sides by m and 0.5

13.9^2 + 2*9.8*3.8 = 6.95^2 + 2*9.8*h_2

19.6h_2 = 219.3875

h_2 = 11.2m

The width of the central maxima, formed from light of wavelength 575 nm behind a single slit that has a width of 115 μm, is 1.15
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

 L  = 1.15 m

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation

        a sin θ = m λ

Where a is the width of the slit, λ  the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.

The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

          tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ

We substitute in the first equation

           a (y / L) = m λ

The first maximum occurs for m = 1

The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is

         y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm

         y = 0.575 10⁻² m

Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)

       L = a y / λ  

Let's calculate

     L = 115 10⁻⁶  0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹

     L  = 1.15 m
