During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the sun. This completely blocks out the sun’s light. However, the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun. How can it block all of that light?
Answer:
λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
Explanation:
In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;
y = mλD/d
Where;
D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m
d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m
The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.
Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:
y = mλD/d
So, λ = dy/mD
Thus,
λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)
λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Moment. The moment in terms of the Force and the time can be expressed as
F = Force
At the same time the moment can be expressed in terms of mass and velocity, mathematically it can be given as
Where
m = Mass
Change in velocity
Our values are given as
By equating the two equations we can find the Force,
Therefore, the net average force will be:
The negative symbol indicates that the direction of the force is upwards.
Answer:
v_squid = - 2,286 m / s
Explanation:
This exercise can be solved using conservation of the moment, the system is made up of the squid plus the water inside, therefore the force to expel the water is an internal force and the moment is conserved.
Initial moment. Before expelling the water
p₀ = 0
the squid is at rest
Final moment. After expelling the water
= M V_squid + m v_water
p₀ = p_{f}
0 = M V_squid + m v_water
c_squid = -m v_water / M
The mass of the squid without water is
M = 9 -2 = 7 kg
let's calculate
v_squid = 2 8/7
v_squid = - 2,286 m / s
The negative sign indicates that the squid is moving in the opposite direction of the water
