Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

The magnetic field over a certain range is given by B~ = Bx ˆı + By ˆ, where Bx = 2 T and By = 4 T. An electron moves into the

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force exerted in a magnetic field is given as

F = q (v × B)

Where

F is the force entered

q is the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

Given that,

The magnetic field is

B = 2•i + 4•j. T

The velocity of the electron is

v = 2•i + 6•j + 8•k. m/s

Also, the charge of an electron is

q = -1.602 × 10^-19 C.

Then note that,

V×B is the cross product of the speed and the magnetic field

Then,

F = q (V×B)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19( 2•i + 4•j +8•k × 2•i + 4•j)

Note

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

F = -1.602 × 10^-19[(2•i + 4•j +8•k) × (2•i + 4•j)]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19 [2×2•(i×i) + 2×4•(i×j) + 4×2•(j×i) + 4×4•(j×j) + 8×2•(k×i) + 8×4•(k×j)]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19[4•0 + 8•k + 8•-k + 16•0 + 16•j + 32•-i]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19(0 + 8•k - 8•k + 0 + 16•j - 32•i)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19(16•j - 32•i)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19 × ( -32•i + 16•j)

F = 5.126 × 10^-18 •i - 2.563 × 10^-18 •j

Then, the x component of the force is

Fx = 5.126 × 10^-18 N

Also, the y component of the force is

Fy = -2.563 × 10^-18 N

Which best describes a major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes? they are centered at the poles?

Arturiano [62]

A major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes is that they are located in the same geographic area. Most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma.

Why are some fasteners double or triple threaded?

OLga [1]

Fasteners are double or triple threaded with the idea of durability. People look for durability in a fastener and if they receive one with triple threaded or double threaded they will feel more safe and at ease knowing it has extra strength added.
