Answer:

The correct option is  D

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  refractive index of oil film is k =  1.48

   The  thickness is t =  290 \ nm  =  290*10^{-9} \ m

   

Generally for constructive interference

      2t  =  [m  + \frac{1}{2} ]*  \frac{\lambda}{k}

For reflection of a bright fringe m =  1

 =>   2 * (290*10^{-9})  =  [1  + \frac{1}{2} ]*  \frac{\lambda}{1.48}

=>     \lambda  =  5.723 *10^{-7} \  m

This wavelength fall in the range of a yellow light

A refrigerator removes 55.0 kcal of heat from the freezer and releases 73.5 kcal through the condenser on the back.How much work
sammy [17]

Here refrigerator removes 55 kcal heat from freezer

Refrigerator releases 73.5 kcal heat to surrounding

So here we can use energy conservation principle by II Law of thermodynamics

the law says that

Q_1 = Q_2 + W

here we know that

Q_1 = heat released to the surrounding

Q_2 = heat absorbed from freezer

W = work done by the compressor

now using above equation we can write

73.5 = 55 + W

W = 73.5 - 55

W = 18.5 kcal

So here compressor has to do 18.5 k cal work on it

A car is accelerating at a rate of 35 m/s2 and has a resulting velocity increase from 17 m/s to 26 m/s. How long did it take to
harina [27]

Answer:The answer is (60 mph - 0 mph) / 8s = (26.8224 m/s - 0 m/s) / 8s = 3.3528 m/s 2 (meters per second squared) average acceleration. That would be 27,000 miles per hour squared.

Suppose that the angular separation of two stars is 0.1 arcseconds, and you photograph them with a telescope that has an angular
Crank

Answer: the photograph will likely show only one star.

Explanation:

Since their angular separation is smaller than the telescope's angular resolution, the picture will apparently show only one star rather than two.

The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hou
Mama L [17]

A) Time needed: 6.24 s

B) Time needed: 2.86 s

Explanation:

A)

In this part, we are told that the power if the engine is constant. The power of the engine is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time

This means that the power of the engine is proportional to the work done, and therefore, to the kinetic energy of the car:

P=\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2}{t}=const.

where m is the mass of the car and v its velocity.

SInce power is constant, we can write:

\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2}{t_1^2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2}{t_2}

where:

t_1=1.40 s is the time the car needs to accelerates to v_1=28.0 mph

t_2 is the time the car needs to accelerate to v_2=57.0 mph

Therefore, solving for t_2,

t_2 = \frac{v^2}{u^2}t_1=\frac{57^2}{28^2}(1.40)=6.24 s

B)

First of all, we have to calculate the acceleration of the car. We can do it using the following equation:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where:

u = 0 is the initial velocity

v=28.0 mph \cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=12.5 m/s is the final velocity

t = 1.40 s is the time elapsed

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{12.5-0}{1.40}=8.9 m/s^2

In this part, we are told that the force exerted by the engine is constant: according to Newton's second law, acceleration is proportional to the force,

F=ma

This means that the acceleration is also constant.

Now we want to find how long the car takes to accelerate to a final velocity of

v=57.0 mph \cdot \frac{1609}{3600}=25.5 m/s

From an initial velocity of

u = 0

Using again the same suvat equation, and using the acceleration we found previously, we find:

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{25.5-0}{8.9}=2.87 s
