5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

λ = wave length = 632 x 10⁻⁹

slit width a = 2 x 10⁻³ m

angular separation of central maxima

= 2 x λ /a

= 2 x 632 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ rad

width in m of light spot.

= 632 x 10⁻⁶  x 376000 km

= 237.632 km

A 5 kg object near Earth's surface is released from rest such that it falls a distance of 10 m. After the object falls 10 m, it
makkiz [27]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of object m=5 kg

Distance traveled h=10 m

velocity acquired v=12 m/s

conserving Energy at the moment when object start falling and when it gains 12 m/s velocity

Initial Energy=mgh=5\times 9.8\times 10=490 J

Final Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_{f}

=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 12^2+W_{f}

where W_{f} is friction work if any

490=360+W_{f}

W_{f}=130 J

Since Friction is Present therefore it is a case of Open system and net external Force is zero

An open system is a system where exchange of energy and mass is allowed and Friction is acting on the object shows that system is Open .

You are an electrician installing the wiring in a new home. The homeowner desires that a ceiling fan with light kits be installe
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3 fans per 15 A circuit

Explanation:

From the question and the data given, the light load let fan would have been

(60 * 4)/120 = 240/120 = 2 A.

Next, we add the current of the fan motor to it, so,

2 A + 1.8 A = 3.8 A.

Since the devices are continuos duty and the circuit current must be limited to 80%, then the Breaker load max would be

0.8 * 15 A = 12 A.

Now, we can get the number if fans, which will be

12 A/ 3.8 A = 3.16 fans, or approximately, 3 fans per 15 A circuit.

In a crossing situation, which vessel is required to maintain its course and speed?
makvit [3.9K]

Both in the domestic and international guidelines tell that when two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to contain risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side (the give-way vessel) must keep out of the way.

If you are the give-way vessel, it is your responsibility to avoid a collision. Normally, this means you must change speed or direction to cross behind the other vessel which is the stand-on vessel.

At evening, when you perceive a red light crossing right-to-left in front of you, you need to change your course. But if you perceive a green light crossing from left-to-right, you are the stand-on vessel, and should maintain course and speed.

The leading situations of collision risk are meeting head-on, overtaking, and crossing. When one of two vessels is to keep out of the way (give-way vessel), the other, the stand-on vessel, must uphold course and speed.
