Which statement best describes perigee?

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.55-kg cartons of cereal at the left end of the basket. the bas

stepan [7]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.

The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N

The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N

The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.

For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m

Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 520 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s

Goshia [24]

Answer:

1) θ = 0.00118 rad, 2) θ = 0.00236 rad , 3) I / I₀ = 0.1738, 4) I / Io = 0.216

Explanation:

In the double-slit interference phenomenon it is explained for constructive interference by the equation

d sin θ = m λ

1) the first order maximum occurs for m = 1

sin θ = λ / d

θ = sin⁻¹ λ / d

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

λ = 520 nm = 520 10⁻⁹ θ = 0.00118 radm

d = 0.440 mm = 0.440 10⁻³ m ³

let's calculate

θ = sin⁻¹ (520 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)

θ = sin⁻¹ (1.18 10⁻³)

θ = 0.00118 rad

2) the second order maximum occurs for m = 2

θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

θ = sin⁻¹ (2 5¹20 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)

θ = 0.00236 rad

3) To calculate the intensity of the interference spectrum, the diffraction phenomenon must be included, so the equation remains

I = I₀ cos² (π d sin θ /λ ) sinc² (pi b sin θ /λ )

where the function sinc = sin x / x

and b is the width of the slits

we caption the values

x = π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹)

x = 2.21

I / I₀ = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin (2.21) /2.21)²

remember angles are in radians

I / I₀ = cos² (3.0945) [0.363] 2

I / I₀ = 0.9978 0.1318

I / I₀ = 0.1738

4) the maximum second intensity is

I / I₀ = cos² (π d sinθ / λ) sinc² (πb sin θ /λ)

x =π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹)

x = 4.41

I / Io = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin 4.41 / 4.41)²

I / Io = cos² 6.273 0.216

I / Io = 0.216
