Answer:

1178 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of light=\lambda=589nm=589\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

We have to find the thickness of spacer if five dark fringes are observed between the edges of the glass.

Suppose that first dark fringe and fifth dark fringe near spacer, then the path length of light is 4 times the wavelength of light.

The light passes through air film is two times  then the change in air film thickness  from one edge to other is two times the wavelength of light.

Change in air film thickness  from one edge to other edge  is same as the thickness of spacer.

Therefore, thickness of spacer=2\lambda

Thickness of spacer=2\times 589\times 10^{-9}m

Thickness of spacer=1178 nm

Hence, the thickness of spacer=1178 nm

Point charges q1 = 14 µC and q2 = −60 µC are fixed at r1 = (5.0î − 4.0ĵ) m and r2 = (9.0î + 7.5ĵ) m. What is the force (in N) of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Explanation:

F₂₁ = \frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|}

Where;

F₂₁ is the vector force on q₁ due to q₂

K is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r₂₁ is the unit vector

|r₂₁| is the magnitude of the unit vector

|q₁| is the absolute charge on point charge one

|q₂| is the absolute charge on point charge two

r₂₁ = [(9-5)i +(7.4-(-4))j] = (4i + 11.5j)

|r₂₁| = \sqrt{(4^2)+(11.5^2)} = \sqrt{148.25}

(|r₂₁|)² = 148.25

F_2_1=\frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|} = \frac{8.99X10^9(14X10^{-6})(60X10^{-6})}{148.25}.\frac{(4i + 11.5j)}{\sqrt{148.25} }

      = 0.050938(0.19107i + 0.54933j) N

      = (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Therefore, the force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

I believe the answer would be mass. Low mass stars and medium mass stars often become white dwarfs when they die while high mass stars explode in violent explosions called supernovas and usually leave behind a black hole or a neutron star.

A tall, cylindrical chimney falls over when its base is ruptured. Treat the chimney as a thin rod of length 53.2 m. At the insta
rusak2 [61]
From an energy balance, we can use this formula to solve for the angular speed of the chimney

ω^2 = 3g / h sin θ

Substituting the given values:
ω^2 = 3 (9.81) / 53.2 sin 34.1
ω^2 = 0.987 /s

The formula for radial acceleration is:
a = rω^2

So,
a = 53.2 (0.987) = 52.494 /s^2

The linear velocity is:
v^2 = ar
v^2 = 52.949 (53.2) = 2816.887

The tangential acceleration is:
a = r v^2
a = 53.2 (2816.887)
a = 149858.378 m/s^2

If the tangential acceleration is equal to g:
g = r^2 3g / sin θ
Solving for θ
θ = 67°
