0, Because if they are pulling with equal force then they cancel each other out<span />

A very thin oil film (n = 1.25) floats on water (n = 1.33). What is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for gree

mixer [17]

Answer:

200 nm is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for green light with a wavelength of 500 nm

Explanation:

If two reflected waves interfere constructively ,strong reflection is produced. Two reflected waves will experience a phase change

For constructive interference

$2\times n\times t=m\lambda$

for thinnest film m=1

refractive index should be taken for film n=1.25

thickness of the thinnest film is

$t=\frac{m\lambda}{2n} \\t=\frac{1\times 500}{2\times 1.25} \\t=200 nm$

Studying neutrinos helped to explain how our Sun works but led to changes in theories of particle physics, how is this process c

julsineya [31]

Explanation:

Yes, evidently, the process is consistent with the scientific process because in scientific process falsification and modification are two very important traits. So this new concept have modified the existing theories.

Through the modification a theory is adjusted without undermining other discovering made through the theory's prediction.

There are many other evidences that prove this fact for example Einstien's Theory of relativity also changes the existing concepts.

A 500.-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 60.0-meter hill.

Paraphin [41]

1.47x10^5 Joules
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.

To solve the problem we will apply the concepts related to the Intensity as a function of the power and the area, as well as the electric field as a function of the current, the speed of light and the permeability in free space, as shown below.

The intensity of the wave at the receiver is

$I = \frac{P_{avg}}{A}$
