The distance between slits in a double-slit experiment is decreased by a factor of 2. If the distance between fringes is small c

Elodia [21]

Answer:

the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Explanation:

To find how the distance between fringes is modified you can use the following formula for the calculation of the distance between fringes:

$\Delta y=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

D: distance to the screen

d: distance between slits

λ: wavelength of the light

if d is decreased by a factor of 2, that is d'=1/2d, you have:

$\Delta y'=\frac{\lambda D}{d'}=\frac{\lambda D}{(1/2)d}=2\Delta y$

hence, the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

P14.003A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.1 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressur

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank is 0.0189 m

Explanation:

Given data:

d = inside diameter = 8.1 m

P = internal pressure = 1.26 MPa

σ = 270 MPa

factor of safety = 2

Question: Determine the minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank, tmin = ?

The allow factor of safety:

$\sigma _{a} =\frac{\sigma }{factor-of-safety} =\frac{270}{2} =135MPa$

The minimun wall thickness:

$t=\frac{Pd}{4\sigma _{a} } =\frac{1.26*8.1}{4*135} =0.0189m$

Determine the velocity that a car should have while traveling around a frictionless curve of radius 100m and that is banked 20 d

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$v=18.89\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

From the free-body diagram for the car, we have that the normal force has a vertical component and a horizontal component, and this component act as the centripetal force on the car:

$\sum F_x:Nsin(20^\circ)=ma_c(1)\\\sum F_y:Ncos(20^\circ)=mg(2)$

Solving N from (2) and replacing in (1):

$N=\frac{mg}{cos(20^\circ)}\\(\frac{mg}{cos(20^\circ)})sin(20^\circ)=ma_c\\gtan(20^\circ)=a_c$

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Replacing and solving for v:

$gtan(20^\circ)=\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{grtan(20^\circ)}\\v=\sqrt{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}(100m)tan(20^\circ)}\\v=18.89\frac{m}{s}$
