An oil film with refractive index 1.48 and thickness 290 nm is floating on water and illuminated with white light at normal inci
VikaD [51]

Answer:

572.3 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = refractive index of the oil film = 1.48

t_{oil} = thickness of the oil film = 290 nm

\lambda = wavelength of the dominant color

m = order

Using the equation

2 n_{oil} t_{oil} = (m + 0.5) \lambda

For m = 0

2 (1.48) (290) = (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 1716.8 nm

For m = 1

2 (1.48) (290) = (1 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 572.3 nm

For m = 2

2 (1.48) (290) = (2 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 343.4 nm

Hence the dominant color wavelength is 572.3 nm

An ice cube at 0c was dropped into 30.0 g of water in a cup at 45.0c. at the instant that all of the ice was melted, the tempera
Ede4ka [16]
The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
Q=m_w C_{sw} \Delta T_w
where 
m_w = 30 g is the mass of the water
C_{sw}=4.18 J/(g ^{\circ}C) is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T_w = 45.0^{\circ}-19.5^{\circ}C = 20.5^{\circ}C is the variation of temperature of the water.

Using these numbers, we find
Q=(30 g)(4.18 J/(g^{\circ}C))(20.5^{\circ}C)=2571 J

This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
Q = m_i L_f
where m_i is the mass of the ice while L_f =334 J/g is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
m_i =  \frac{Q}{L_f}= \frac{2571 J}{334 J/g} =7.7 g

A person just supports a mass of 20kg suspended from a rope.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

F = 200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass suspended from the rope, m = 20 kg

We need to find the resultant force acting on the rope. The resultant force on the rope is equal to its weight such that,

F = mg

Where

g is acceleration due to gravity

Put all the values,

F = 20 kg × 10 m/s²

F = 200 N

So, the resultant force on the mass is 200 N.

Amotor supplied by 240V requires 12A to lift a 2000 lb at a rate of 25 ft/min, me power input to the motor is-
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Power input, P = 2880 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the motor, V = 240 V

Current required, I = 12 A

Weight lifted, W = 2000 lb

It is lifting at a speed of 25 ft/min. We need to find the power input to the motor. The product of current and voltage is called power input of the motor.

P=I\times V

P=12\ A\times 240\ V

P = 2880 watts

So, the power input of the motor is 2880 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
