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) ¿En qué posición es mínima la magnitud de la fuerza sobre la masa de un sistema masa-resorte? 1) x 0, 2) x A o 3) x A. ¿Por q
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

a) the correct answer is 1 , b) x=0   F=0, a=0

x= 0.050    F= -7.5 N,  a= -15 m/s²

x= 0.150     F= 22.5 N,  a=- 45 m/s²

Explanation:

a) In a mass - spring system the force is given by the Hooke force,

          F = - k x

Analyzing this equation we see that the outside is proportional to the elongation from the equilibrium position, therefore the force is zero when the spring is in its equilibrium position

the correct answer is 1

b) we assume that the given values ​​are from the equilibrium position of the spring.

Let's calculate the force

x = 0

      F = 0

x = 0.050

      F = - 150 0.050

      F = - 7.50 N

x = 0.150

      F = - 150 0.150

      F = - 22.5 N

let's use Newton's second law to find the acceleration

      F = m a

      a = F / m

x = 0 m

      a = 0

x = 0.050 m

      a = -7.50 / 0.50

      a = - 15 m / s²

x = 0.150 m

      a = - 22.5 / 0.50

      a = - 45 m/s²

TRASLATE

a) En un sistema masa – resorte  la fuerza es dada por la fuerza de Hoke,  

          F= - k x

analizando esta ecuación vemos que la fuera es proporcional a la elongación desde la posición de equilibrio, por lo tanto la fuerza es cero cuando el resorte esta en su posición de equilibrio

la respuesta correcta es  1

b)suponemos que los valores dados son desde la posición de equilibrio del resorte.

Calculemos la fuerza  

x=0  

              F= 0

x=0.050  

              F = - 150 0.050

              F= - 7.50 N

x= 0.150  

                F= - 150 0.150

                F= - 22.5 N

usemos la segunda ley de Newton para encontrar la aceleración

          F = m a

          a = F/m

x =0  m

        a = 0

x= 0.050 m

         a = -7.50/ 0.50

          a =- 15 m/s²

x= 0.150 m

          a= - 22.5 / 0.50

          a= - 45 m/s²

Why law of floatation is called the special condition of Archimedes principle​
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Archimedes principle: volume of water displaced by immersed object is equal to volume of water.

so if two object has same volume but different mass

then density determines the flotation of object,if an object has more density than water then it sinks.

I think this is called as special condition of floatation.
