<span>The wires are suspended diagonally, meaning the tension in each is directed diagonally as well (along the wire). We can, however, talk about the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force. The horizontal tension force in each wire is Tcosθ, while the vertical tension force is Tsinθ. The horizontal tension forces balance one another, because the wires are pulling in opposite directions. This means Tcosθ=Tcosθ, which is obvious but not very helpful. If you look at the vertical tension forces on the other hand, you can see that they must balance the weight of the body for the system to be in equilibrium. In other words: Tsinθ+Tsinθ=mg You're given enough information in the question to solve for T using this equation!</span>

Part A (4 pts) Consider light of wavelength λ = 670nm traveling in air. The light is incident at normal incidence upon a thin fi
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Explanation:

On both sides of the film , the mediums have lower refractive index.

for interfering pattern from above , for constructive interference of reflected wave from both sides of the film , the condition is

2μt = ( 2n +1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of film ,t is thickness of film λ is wavelength of light

n is order of fringe

for minimum thickness

n = 0

2μt =  λ / 2

t =  λ / 4μ

= 670 / 1.75 x 4

= 95.71 nm .

The activity of a radioisotope is found to decrease 40% of its original value in 2.59 x 10 s.
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 0.0353\ s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given

Radioactive material is found to decrease 40% of its original value in 2.59\times 10\ s

Sample at any time is given by

N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}

where, \lambda=\text{decay constant}

Put values

\Rightarrow 0.4N_o=N_oe^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10}\\\Rightarrow 0.4=e^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10

Taking natural logarithm both side

\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{\ln 2.5}{25.9}\\\\\Rightarrow \lambda =0.0353\ s^{-1}

A cannonball is fired horizontally at the same time a ball being dropped from the same height How do the times it takes them to
ipn [44]

Answer:

The cannonball and the ball will both take the same amount of time before they hit the ground.

Explanation:

For a ball fired horizontally from a given height, there is only a vertical acceleration on it towards the ground. This acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s^2). A ball dropped from a height will also only experience the same vertical acceleration downwards which is also equal to g = 9.81 m/s^2.

Therefore both the cannonball and the ball will take the same amount of time to hit the ground if they are released/fired from the same height.
