Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Law:

$\to \theta= 180^{\circ}- 50^{\circ}- 25^{\circ}$

$= 180^{\circ}- 75^{\circ}\\\\= 105^{\circ}$

$\to \frac{T_{L}}{\sin (90+50)}= \frac{T_{R}}{\sin (25+90)}=\frac{1400}{\sin (105)}$

$\to T_L=931.65 \ pounds \\\\ \to T_R=1313.59 \ pounds \\\\$

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe

KIM [24]

Answer:

- the expected value is 8

- the standard deviation is 2.8284

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The model N(t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a poisson process,

∴ N(t) has distribution of poisson distribution with parameter (λt)

so

the mean is;

λ = 1 every month = 1/3 per month

E[N(t)] = λt

E[N(t)] = (1/3)(24)

E[N(t)] = 8

Therefore, the expected value is 8

For poisson process, Variance and mean are the same,

Var[N(t)] = Var[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = E[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = 8

so the standard deviation will be;

σ[N(24)] = √(Var[N(t)] )

σ[N(24)] = √(8 )

σ[N(24)] = 2.8284

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.8284

A slit has a width of W1 = 4.4 × 10-6 m. When light with a wavelength of λ1 = 487 nm passes through this slit, the width of the

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is $4.48*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to interference from two sources. Destructive interference produces the dark fringes. Dark fringes in the diffraction pattern of a single slit are found at angles θ for which

$w sin\theta = m\lambda$

Where,

w = width

$\lambda =$ wavelength

m is an integer, m = 1, 2, 3...

We here know that as $sin\theta$ as w are constant, then

$\frac{w_1}{\lambda_1} = \frac{w_2}{\lambda_2}$

We need to find $w_2$ , then

$w_2 = \frac{w_1}{\lambda_1}\lambda_2$

Replacing with our values:

$w_2 = \frac{4.4*10^{-6}}{487}496$

$w_2 = 4.48*10^{-6}m$

Therefore the width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is $4.48*10^{-6}m$

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ whose respective velocities before collision are $u_1$ and $u_2$ ;

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2..............(1)$

where $v_1$ and $v_2$ are their respective velocities after collision.

Given;

$m_1=1.3kg\\u_1=5m/s\\m_2=1.3kg\\u_2=0m/s$

Note that $u_2$ =0 because the second mass $m_2$ was at rest before the collision.

Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that $m_1=m_2=m$ so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

$mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\\\m(u_1+u_2)=m(v_1+v_2)..............(2)$

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

$u_1+u_2=v_1+v_2.............(3)$

a) When $v_1=0.8m/s$ , we obtain the following by equation(3)

$5+0=0.8+v_2\\hence\\v_2=5-0.8\\v_2=4.2m/s$

b) As $m_1$ stops moving $v_1=0$ , therefore,

$5+0=0+v_2\\v_2=5m/s$
