Young's experiment is performed with light of wavelength 502 nm from excited helium atoms. Fringes are measured carefully on a s

creen 1.00 m away from the double slit, and the center of the 20th fringe (not counting the central bright fringe) is found to be 11.4 mm from the center of the central bright fringe.
a. What is the separation of the two slits?

Answer:

0.88 mm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of the atoms, λ = 502 nm = 502*10^-9 m

Radius of the screen away from the double slit, r = 1 m

We know that Y(20) = 11.4*10^-3 m

d = (20 * R * λ) / Y(20)

d = (20 * 1 * 502*10^-9)/11.4*10^-3

d = 1*10^-5 / 11.4*10^-3

d = 0.88 mm

Therefore, the distance of separation between the two slits is 0.88 mm

Describe the different processes that lead to substantial internal heat sources for Jupiter and Saturn. Since these two objects
Softa [21]

Explanation:

The internal heat sources for Jupiter and Saturn derive from primordial heat resulting from the initial gravitational contraction of each planet. Jupiter also generates heat by slow contraction, which liberates substantial gravitational energy. A significant part of Saturn’s heat comes from the release of gravitational energy from helium separating from the lighter hydrogen and sinking to its core. What one considers to be a star is a matter of definition, as we discuss in more detail in the chapter on The Birth of Stars and the Discovery of Planets outside the Solar System. While both Jupiter and Saturn generate much of their energy internally, they are not large enough (by a significant factor) to support nuclear reactions in their interiors, and so are not considered to be stars.

Draw an x y axis

3 miles west is 3 miles to the left, -3
4 miles south is 4 miles down, -4

connect the the point to the origin, that side is what you are looking for 
that side is also hypotenus

A discus thrower (Fig. P4.27, page 97) accelerates a discus from rest to a speed of 25.0 m/s by whirling it through 1.25 rev. As

The time interval needed for the disk to rev from leave to 25.0 m/s

= 0.57 s

<h3>What is the time interval?</h3>
  • A larger period of time can be split up into multiple shorter, equal-length segments.
  • These are referred to as time periods. Consider the scenario where you wished to gauge a car's speed over an hour-long trip. You could break up an hour into ten-minute segments.
  • In Hz, frequency is defined as the number of cycles per second. Simply divide 1 by the frequency to determine the time interval for a known frequency (e.g., a frequency of 100 Hz has a time interval of 1/(100 Hz) = 0.01 seconds; 500 Hz has a time interval of 1/(500Hz) = 0.002 seconds, etc.).

Given:

vo = 0

v = 25.4 m/s

r = 0.95 m

n = 1.21 rev

A.

r*ω = v

ω = v/r

= 25.4/.95

= 26.74 rad/s

B.

θ = 2πn

= 2π × (1.21)

= 7.6 m

Using equation of motion,

ωf^2 = ωi^2 + 2αθ

(26.74)^2 = 2 × α × (7.6)

α = 715.03/15.2

= 47.04 rad/s^2

C.

Using equation of motion,

θ = ωi*t + 1/2*α*t^2

θ = 0 + 1/2*α*t^2

7.6 = 47.04/2 × t^2

= sqrt(0.323)

= 0.57 s

Therefore the correct answer is 0.57 s
