What is the result of two displacement vectors having opposite directions?

jonny [76]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.

Two narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.85 mm are illuminated by 600 nm light, and the viewing screen is 2.8 m away from the s

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Phase difference = pi/4 radians

Explanation:

Given:

- The wavelength of incident light λ = 600 nm

- The split separation d = 0.85 mm

- Distance of screen from split plane L = 2.8 m

Find:

What is the phase difference between the two interfering waves on a screen, at a point 2.5 mm from the central bright fringe?

Solution:

- The phase difference can be evaluated by determining the type of interference that occurs at point y = 2.5 mm above central order. We will use the derived results from Young's double slit experiment.

sin ( Q ) = m*λ /d

m = d*sin(Q) / λ

- Where, m is the order number and angle Q is the angle for mth order of fringe from central bright fringe.

r = sqrt ( L^2 + 0.0025^ )

Where, r is the distance from split to the interference bright fringe.

r = sqrt(2.8^ + 0.0025^) = 2.8

sin(Q) = 0.0025 / 2.8

Hence. m = 0.00085*0.0025 / 2.8*(600*10^-9)

m = 1.26

- We know that constructive interference would occurred at m = 1 and destructive interference @ m = 1.5. They have a phase difference of pi/2 radians.

- The order number lies in between constructive and destructive interference i.e m ≈ 1.25 then the corresponding phase difference = 0.5*(pi/2).

Answer: Phase difference = pi/4 radians

Find the density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 680 atm if the density at the surface is 1030 kg/m3. Seawater has

Pie

Answer:

$1060.41kg/m^3$

Explanation:

Bulk modulus is defined as the relative change in the volume of a body produced by a unit of compressive acting uniformly over its surface:

$B=\rho _o \frac{\bigtriangleup P }{\bigtriangleup \rho}$

Hence the density of the seawater at a depth of 680atm is calculated as:-

$\rho=\rho_o +\bigtriangleup \rho=\rho_o(1+\frac{\bigtriangleup P}{B})\\\\=1030 \times (1+ \frac{(680-1)\times10^5}{2.3\times 10^9})\\=1060.41kg/m^3$

what is the property of an object due to its mass by which it resists any change in its position unless overcome by force ?

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Mass as a Measure of the Amount of Inertia

All objects resist changes in their state of motion. All objects have this tendency - they have inertia.

2. A 50 kg diver is standing on the edge of a 15 m high cliff. What is his potential energy?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J
