You want to estimate the diameter of a very small circular pinhole that you've made in a piece of aluminum foil. to do so, you s

hine a red laser pointer (λ = 632 nm) at the hole and observe the diffraction pattern on a screen 3.4 m behind the foil. you measure the width of the central maximum to be 12 mm .

Central maximum = d* wavelength/ D
thus
12*10-^3 = 3.4*6.32*10-^7/D
D = 3.4*6.32*10-^7/12*10-^3
D = 1.79*10-^4 m

A 12-kg projectile is launched with an initial vertical speed of 20 m/s. It rises to a maximum height of 18 m above the launch p
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Change in mechanical energy, \Delta E=283.2\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the projectile, m = 12 kg

Speed of the projectile, v = 20 m/s

Maximum height, h = 18 m

Initially, the projectile have only kinetic energy. it is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12\ kg\times (20\ m/s)^2

K = 2400 J

Finally, it have only potential energy. it is given by :

P = mgh

P=12\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 18\ m

P =2116.8 J

The change in mechanical energy is given by :

\Delta E=K-P

\Delta E=2400-2116.8

\Delta E=283.2\ J

So, the change in mechanical energy is 283.2 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

What can you infer from the fact that metals are good conductors of electricity?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Knowing that these metals are infact good conductors of electricity we can infer that metals are able to hold and conduct certain temperatures. Another thing we can infer is that these good conductors can be used in connection to transferring energy or electricity.
