Answer:

The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force divided by the mass of the object.

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion

The net force is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object.

In mathematically terms,

$F = ma$

The acceleration is

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

Where, a = acceleration

F = net force

m = mass

Hence, The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force divided by the mass of the object.

The viewing screen in a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light. Fringe C is the central maximum. The fringe separation

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

<em>Part A</em><em>:</em>

a) If the wavelength of the light is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

<em>Part B</em><em>:</em>

b) If the spacing between the slits is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will increase.

<em>Part C</em><em>:</em>

a) If the distance to the screen is decreased the fringe spacing will decrease.

<em>Part D</em><em>:</em>

The dot in the center of fringe E is $920\ x\ 10^{-9} m$ farther from the left slit than from the right slit.

Explanation:

In the double-slit experiment there is a clear contrast between the dark and bright fringes, that indicate destructive and constructive interference respectively, in the central peak and then is less so at either side.

The position of bright fringes in the screen where the pattern is formed can be calculated with

$\vartriangle y =\frac{m \lambda L}{d}$

$m=0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 3,.....$

m is the order number.
$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the monochromatic light.
L is the distance between the screen and the two slits.
d is the distance between the slits.

Part A: a) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the wavelength of the light $\lambda$ is decreased the overall effect will be that the fringes are going to be closer. That means that the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

Part B: b) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the spacing between the slits d is decreased the fringes are going to be wider apart. That means the fringe spacing Δy will increase.
Part C: a) In the above equation we can see that if the distance to the screen L is decreased the fringes are going to be closer. That means the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

Part D: We are told that the central maximum is the fringe C that corresponds with m=0. That means that fringe E corresponds with the order number m=2 if we consider it to be the second maximum at the rigth of the central one. To calculate how much farther from the left slit than from the right slit is a dot located at the center of the fringe E in the screen we use the condition for constructive interference. That says that the path length difference Δr between rays coming from the left and right slit must be $\vartriangle r=m \lambda$

We simply replace the values in that equation :

$\vartriangle r= m \lambda =2.\ 460\ nm$

$\vartriangle r= 920\ x\ 10^{-9} m$

The dot in the center of fringe E is $920\ x\ 10^{-9}m$ farther from the left slit than from the right slit.

the amount of time for one particle of the medium to make one comlpete vibration cycle is a good description of

-Dominant- [34]

That's the definition of the PERIOD of the vibration.
It's exactly the reciprocal of the vibration's frequency.

The temperature of water in a beaker is 45°C. What does this measurement represent

andrezito [222]

Based on my information, this would actually be representing "the average kinetic energy of water particles". So, as you take notice that where this temperature is being located, and also, how this would be $45$ °C, this would make more sense for this to be representing as <span>the average kinetic energy of water particles.</span>

A 4 kg textbook sits on a desk. It is pushed horizontally with a 50 N applied force against a 15 N frictional force.

GarryVolchara [31]

a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The book is stationary in the vertical direction

c) The net horizontal force is 35 N in the forward direction

d) The net force on the book is 35 N in the forward horizontal direction

e) The acceleration is $8.75 m/s^2$ in the forward direction

Explanation:

a)

The free-body diagram of a body represents all the forces acting on the body using arrows, where the length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force and points in the same direction.

From the diagram of this book, we see there are 4 forces acting on the book:

- The applied force, F = 50 N, pushing forward in the horizontal direction

- The frictional force, $F_f = 15 N$ , pulling backward in the horizontal direction (the frictional force always acts in the direction opposite to the motion)

- The weight of the book, $W=mg$ , where m is the mass of the book and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, acting downward. We can calculate its magnitude using the mass of the book, m = 4 kg:

$W=(4)(9.8)=39.2 N$

- The normal reaction exerted by the desk on the book, N, acting upward, and balancing the weight of the book

b)

The book is in equilibrium in the vertical direction, therefore there is no motion.

In fact, the magnitude of the normal reaction (N) exerted by the desk on the book is exactly equal to the weight of the book (W), so the equation of motion along the vertical direction is

$N-W=ma$

where a is the acceleration; however, since N = W, this becomes

$a=0$

And since the book is initially at rest on the desk, this means that there is no motion.

c)

We said there are two forces acting in the horizontal direction:

- The applied force, F = 50 N, forward

- The frictional force, $F_f = 15 N$ , backward

Since they act along the same line, we can calculate their resultant as

$\sum F = F - F_f = 50 - 15 = 35 N$

and therefore the net force is 35 N in the forward direction.

d)

The net force is obtained as the resultant of the net forces in the horizontal and vertical direction. However, we have:

- The net force in the horizontal direction is 35 N

- The net force in the vertical direction is zero, because the weight is balanced by the normal reaction

Therefore, this means that the total net force acting on the book is just the net force acting on the horizontal direction, so 35 N forward.

e)

The acceleration of the book can be calculated by using Newton's second law:

$\sum F = ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Here we have:

$\sum F = 35 N$ (in the forward direction)

m = 4 kg

Therefore, the acceleration is

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{35}{4}=8.75 m/s^2$ (forward)
