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

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

\epsilon = BvL sin \theta

where

B=5\cdot 10^{-5} T is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 13 m/s is the speed of the bird

L = 1.2 m is the wingspan of the bird

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

\epsilon = (5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(13 m/s)(1.2 m) sin 40^{\circ}=0.00050 V = 0.50 mV

The mass of a truck with its cargo is 1800 kg. The truck is coasting to the right with a speed of 10 m/s. As it coasts its cargo
OverLord2011 [107]

Here we apply conservation of linear momentum. The momentum of the truck with cargo and without cargo remains constant. That is,

mv=m'v'.

Here m,v are initial mass and velocity. m',v' are final mass and velocity. Here m=1800,v=10 and m'=1800-300=1500.

The velocity of the truck be after its cargo is taken off is

v'=\frac{mv}{m'} \\  v'=\frac{1800*10}{1500} \\  v'=12 m/s
