Answer:

y = 1.75 cm

Explanation:

In the double-slit experiment the equation for destructive interference is

           d sin tea = (m + ½)

λ

let's use trigonometry to find the angle

         tan θ = y / L

as all the experiment does not occur at small angles

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ = y / L

we substitute

        y = (m + 1/2 ) λ  L / d

we calculate

         y = (3 + ½) 500 10⁻⁹ 5.00 / 0.5 10⁻³

         y = 1.75 10⁻² m

         y = 1.75 cm

A satellite is in a circular orbit 21000 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of
mina [271]

Answer:

(orbital speed of the satellite) V₀ = 3.818 km

Time (t) = 4.5 × 10⁴s

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10⁶ m;    &

the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s

We can calculate the orbital speed of the satellite by using the formula:

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

radius of the orbit (r) = 21000 km + 6.37 × 10⁶ m

                                  = (2.1 × 10⁷ + 6.37 × 10⁶) m

                                  = 27370000

                                  = 2.737 × 10⁷m

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(2.737 × 10⁷  × 0.532655 )

                              = 3818.215

                              = 3.818 × 10³

                             = 3.818 Km

To find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth; we use the formula:

Time (t) = 2 π × \frac{r}{V_o}

            = 2 × 3.14 × \frac{2.737*10^7}{3.818*10^3}

            = 45019.28

            = 4.5 × 10 ⁴ s

Which factors are used to calculate the kinetic energy of an object? Check all that apply. gravity velocity volume mass height
Sonja [21]

<em>Quantities that determine the kinetic energy of a body are its </em><em>mass and velocity </em>

Answer:  <em>mass and velocity </em>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. It is given by the equation

                                       k= \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where m represents mass of the body and v represents its velocity.

Two bodies of equal velocity but different mass the heavier body will have greater kinetic energy. When an object is at rest its velocity is equal to zero. Thus its kinetic energy will be zero. Hence it can be concluded that only moving bodies have kinetic energy.

Stationary objects placed at a height possess potential energy which is the energy by virtue of their position or configuration. The total mechanical energy of a system is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
