Answer:

Centripetal force acts toward the center of the circle, and inertia keeps the object moving forward.

Explanation:

Inertia is a property of a body by virtue of its mass due to which a body tends to resist any change in its current state of motion.

A body in a circular motion tends to move forward due to inertia but centripetal fore which acts towards the center changes its direction and the body moves along the circumference of the circle. The combination of centripetal force and inertia keeps the object in the circular motion.

Monochromatic light passes through a double slit, producing interference, the distance between the slit centres is 1.2 mm and th

Alik [6]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the slit centers d= 1.2 mm

Distance between constructive fringes $\beta= 0.3\ cm$

Distance between fringe and screen D= 5 m

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of width

$\beta=\dfrac{D\lambda}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$0.3\times10^{-2}=\dfrac{5\times\lambda}{1.2\times10^{-3}}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.3\times10^{-2}\times1.2\times10^{-3}}{5}$

$\lambda=7.2\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=7200\ \AA$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A -TRUE

Explanation:

The mass, size, and shape of the object are not a factor in describing the motion of the object. So all objects, regardless of size or shape or weight, free fall with the same acceleration.
