KE=1/2mv^2 - equation for kinetic energy
KE=(1/2)(0.12 kg)((7.8 m/s)^2 - plug it into the formula
KE=(0.06 kg)(60.84 m/s) - multiply 1/2 to the mass and square the speed
KE= 3.7 J - answer
Hope this helps
Answer:
d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm
Explanation:
The complete question is as follows:
An optical engineer needs to ensure that the bright fringes from a double-slit are 15.7 mm apart on a detector that is 1.70m from the slits. If the slits are illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 633 nm, how far apart should the slits be?
The answer can be given by using the formula derived from Young's Double Slit Experiment:

where,
d = slit separation = ?
λ = wavelength = 633 nm = 6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m
L = distance from screen (detector) = 1.7 m
y = distance between bright fringes = 15.7 mm = 0.0157 m
Therefore,

<u>d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm</u>
<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>
