Well if we don't recycle paper and use it up too fast, more trees would be chopped down, which is not good for the environment. Plastic can be dangerous and release toxic chemicals so we have to handel it well. Btw, what grade are you in?

Three identical very dense masses of 7500 kg each are placed on the x axis. One mass is at x1 = -100 cm , one is at the origin,

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

0.00354 (N)

Explanation:

Convert to metric system:

$x_1 = -100 cm = 1 m$

$x_2 = 420 cm = 4.2 m$

Formula for gravitational force:

$F_g = G\frac{mM}{s^2}$

where s is the distance between 2 bodies masses m and M

Substitute the number to the formula above and since the 2 forces are acting in opposite direction, the total net gravitational force on the mass of origin be:

$F_g = F_{g1} - F_{g2}$

$F_g = G\frac{m_1M}{x_1^2} - G\frac{m_2M}{x_2^2}$

$F_g = GM(\frac{m_1}{x_1^2} - \frac{m_2}{x_2^2})$

$F_g = 6.67*10^{-11} * 7500 (\frac{7500}{1^2} - \frac{7500}{4.2^2})$

$F_g = 5*10^{-7}(7500 - 425.17)$

$F_g = 5*10^{-7} * 7074.83$

$F_g = 0.00354 (N)$

Coherent light with wavelength = 600 nm falls on two very narrow closely spaced slits and the interference pattern is observed o

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 1.2mm.

Explanation:

The physicist Thomas Young establishes, through its double slit experiment, a relationship between the interference (constructive or destructive) of a wave, the separation between the slits, the distance between the two slits to the screen and the wavelength.

$\Lambda x = L\frac{\lambda}{d}$ (1)

Where $\Lambda x$ is the distance between two adjacent maxima, L is the distance of the screen from the slits, $\lambda$ is the wavelength and d is the separation between the slits.

If light pass through two slits a diffraction pattern in a screen will be gotten, at which each bright region corresponds to a crest, a dark region to a trough, as consequence of constructive interference and destructive interference in different points of its propagation to the screen.

Therefore, d can be isolated from equation 1.

$d = L\frac{\lambda}{\Lambda x}$ (2)

Notice that it is necessary to express L and $\lambda$ in units of millimeters.

$L = 4m \cdot \frac{1000mm}{1m}$ ⇒ $4000mm$

$\lambda = 600nm \cdot \frac{1mm}{1x10^{6}nm}$ ⇒ $0.0006mm$

$d = (4000mm)\frac{0.0006mm}{2mm}$

$d = 1.2mm$

Hence, the distance between the two slits is 1.2mm.

A 5 kg box is sliding across a level floor. The box is acted upon by a force of 27 newtons east and a frictional force of 17 new

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the box is 2.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of any object will be directly proportional to the net unbalanced force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Net force = Mass × Acceleration

So $Acceleration = \frac{Net force}{Mass}$

Since in this case, the box is experiencing a force from east of magnitude 27 N and resisting force of about 17 N from west. So the net force will be the difference of acting and reacting force.

Net force = 27-17 = 10 N.

Thus, $Acceleration = \frac{10 N}{5 kg}$

So 2 $m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration of the box. Thus the magnitude of acceleration of the box is 2.
