"Mechanical" means that someTHING is moving, so someTHING needs to be there waving, or else there can't be a mechanical wave.

7. A double-slit experiment uses coherent light of wavelength 633 nm with a slit separation of 0.100 mm and a screen placed 2.0
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The distance between first-order and second-order bright fringes is 12.66mm.

Explanation:

The physicist Thomas Young establishes through its double slit experiment a relationship between the interference (constructive or destructive) of a wave, the separation between the slits, the distance between the two slits to the screen and the wavelength.

\Lambda x = L\frac{\lambda}{d}  (1)

Where \Lambda x is the distance between two adjacent maxima, L is the distance of the screen from the slits, \lambda is the wavelength and d is the separation between the slits.  

The values for this particular case are:

L = 2.0m

\lambda = 633nm

d = 0.100mm

Notice that is necessary to express L and \lambda in units of milimeters.

L = 2.0m \cdot \frac{1000mm}{1m} ⇒ 2000mm

\lambda = 633nm \cdot \frac{1mm}{1x10^{6}nm} ⇒ 6.33x10^{-4}mm

Finally, equation 1 can be used:

\Lambda x = (2000mm)\frac{(6.33x10^{-4}mm)}{(0.100mm)}

\Lambda x = 12.66mm

Hence, the distance between first-order and second-order bright fringes is 12.66mm.

14. Three identical light bulbs are connected in series, then are disconnected and arranged in parallel. For each of the scenari
Inessa [10]
In order to make things easier to describe and explain, let's call
the resistance of each bulb 'R', and the battery voltage 'V'.

a).  In series, the total resistance is 3R.
In parallel, the total resistance is R/3.
Changing from series to parallel, the total resistance of the circuit
decreases to 1/9 of its original value.

b).  In series, the total current is  V / (3R) .
In parallel, the total current is  3V / R .
Changing from series to parallel, the total current in the circuit
increases to 9 times its original value.

c).  In series, the power dissipated by the circuit is 

                                   (V) · V/3R  =  V² / 3R .

In parallel, the power dissipated by the circuit is

                                   (V) · 3V/R  =  3V² / R .

Changing from series to parallel, the power dissipated by
the circuit (also the power delivered by the battery) increases
to 9 times its original value.

Pertaining to simple machines and levers what changes when the fulcrum position is modified
ladessa [460]

Explanation :

Simple machines makes our work easier. Lever is one of the simple machine which consists of rigid rod that is pivoted at a fixed support called as Fulcrum.

There are three classes of lever.

Class 1 : In this type of class, fulcrum is placed in between effort and load. Hence the movement of load is in reverse direction of the movement of effort. (fig 1)

Class 2 : In this type of, the load is between the effort and the fulcrum. Hence, the movement of load is in same direction as that of the effort. (fig 2)

Class 3 : In this type of lever the effort between the load and the fulcrum. Hence, both the effort and load are in same direction. (fig 3)

Hence, when the position of fulcrum is modified the effort force changes.

Write a question about how changing temperature affects the gas inside the sports ball
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

What happens to the pressure of the air inside a sport ball when it is heated?

Explanation:

We can answer this question by thinking at what happen at microscopic level.

In fact, when the gas inside the ball is heated, the molecules of the gas start moving faster. As a result, the rate of collision of the molecules against the internal surface of the ball increases: and therefore, the pressure of the gas inside the ball increases.

We can also see this by looking at the ideal gas law, which states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the gas volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

In this situation, the volume of the gas V is constant (since the ball has a constant volume), the number of moles n is also constant, as well as R. So we can rewrite this as

p \propto T

so we see that the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: therefore, when the ball is heated, the pressure inside the ball increases.
