D = 0.9 km = 900 m, distance moved
v = 35 nm/s , the speed

v = 35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s
   = (35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s)*(365 days/y)*(24*60*60 s/day)
   = 1.1038 m/y

The time iaken is
t = d/v
  = (900 m)/(1.1038 m/y)
  = 815.365 y

Answer: 815.4 y (nearest tenth)

Green light (λ = 518 nm) strikes a single slit at normal incidence. What width slit will produce a central maximum that is 3.00
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

The formula can be written as:

sin\theta=\frac {\lambda}{d}\times m ....1

The location of the bright fringe is determined by :

y=L\times tan\theta

Where, L is the distance between the slit and the screen.

For small angle , sin\theta=tan\theta

So,  

Formula becomes:

y=L\times sin\theta

Using 1, we get:

y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times m

Thus, the distance between the central maximum is 3.00 cm

First bright fringe , m = 1 occur at 3.00 / 2 = 1.50 cm

Since,

1 cm = 0.01 m

y = 0.0150 m

Given L = 2.00 m

λ = 518 nm

Since, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

λ = 518 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying the formula as:

0.0150\ m=2.00\ m\times \frac {518\times 10^{-9}\ m}{d}\times 1

<u>⇒ d, distance between the slits = 6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m</u>

If the mass of a person is 600kg on Earth what is the persons mass on the moon
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The mass of the person would remain 600kg.

Explanation:

mass refers to the amount of matter in a particular object. therefore even though the moon has less gravitational force than the Earths, it still would have the same mass since the person is made up of the same amount of matter on Earth and in the moon.

when asked about weight, it would be 1000N. but in mass , same 600kg.

Does water expand more as the temperature drops even more below 0 deg? I am worried about the coolant in my rad. as the temp.is
alex41 [277]
Water is, indeed, an exception. Normally when temperature drops, material shrinks. Water doesn't, water expands instead.
