Answer:

71 cm

Explanation:

The formula to apply here is θ = 1.22λ/D,

diameter of central maximum =1.0 cm

wavelength,   λ= 633 nm

Diameter of pinhole = 0.11 mm

where θ = arc length/distance = s/R

s/R = 1.22λ/D

(.005)/R = (1.22)(633 X 10^-9)/(1.1 X 10^-4)

R = .71 m   which is 71 cm

If A > B, under what condition is |A-BI=|A|- IB|? a. Vectors A and B are in opposite directions b. Vectors A and B are in the
kupik [55]

Answer:

b) Vectors A and B are in the same direction.

Explanation:

To understand this problem we will say that vector A has a magnitude of 5 units and vector B a magnitude of 3 units. In the subtraction of vectors the initial parts of vectors always bind together. And the vector resulting from the subtraction is traced from the end of the second vector (B) to the end of the first vector (A).

The length of the resultant vector will be 5 - 3 = 2

In the attached image, we analyze case a), b), and d)

For a)

As we can see in the attached image the resultant vector has a length of 8 units.

For d)

As we can see in the attached image the resultant vector has a length of 5.83 units.

For b)

The resultant vector has a length of 2 units.

Therefore the case given in b) is true

If the mass of an object increases, how is its acceleration affected, assuming the net force acting on the object remains the sa
vovikov84 [41]
Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
  
          F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.

Utility poles are to be set every 30 meters. How many poles will be set in one mile if one was set at the beginning of the mile)
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

53

Explanation:

Because there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. 1609.34÷30=53.64 but because you put one at the beginning of the mile it will stay 53 and not round up to 54

A furlong is an old british unit of length equal to 0.125 mi, derived from the length of a furrow in an acre of ploughed land. a
castortr0y [4]

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>
