Answer:

The opening needs to be smaller

Explanation:

Diffraction can be observed when the light passes through a grid or an opening that has a width of about the same size or smaller than the wavelength of the light that is being used.

We need the opening to be smaller than the wavelength so the bean can be splitted and we are able to see diffraction.

A large truck collides with a small car. True or False: The truck exerted a greater magnitude force on the car than the car exer
Reptile [31]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The forces on the car and truck are equal and opposite. The equal forces cause accelerations of the truck and car inversely proportional to their mass. That is, If the Truck A exerts a force FAB on car B, then the car will exert a force FBA on the truck. Therefore,

FBA = −FAB

However, this can be explained by Newton's second law. Let's say the truck has mass M and the car has mass m. If the magnitude of the force that both vehicles experience is F, then the magnitudes of their respective accelerations are:

atruck = F/M

acar = F/m

and combining these we get:

atruck/acar = m/M

So if the mass of the car is a lot less than the mass of the truck, then the acceleration of the truck is much smaller than the acceleration of the car, and if you were to watch the collision, the truck would pretty much seem like it's motion was unaffected, but the car's motion will change quite a bit.

Block A of mass M is on a horizontal surface of negligible friction. An identical block B is attached to block A by a light stri
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

T’= 4/3 T  

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer e

Explanation:

For this problem let's use Newton's second law applied to each body

Body A

X axis

      T = m_A a

Axis y

     N- W_A = 0

Body B

Vertical axis

     W_B - T = m_B a

In the reference system we have selected the direction to the right as positive, therefore the downward movement is also positive. The acceleration of the two bodies must be the same so that the rope cannot tension

We write the equations

    T = m_A a

    W_B –T = M_B a

We solve this system of equations

     m_B g = (m_A + m_B) a

    a = m_B / (m_A + m_B) g

In this initial case

     m_A = M

     m_B = M

     a = M / (1 + 1) M g

     a = ½ g

Let's find the tension

    T = m_A a

    T = M ½ g

    T = ½ M g

Now we change the mass of the second block

    m_B = 2M

    a = 2M / (1 + 2) M g

    a = 2/3 g

We seek tension for this case

    T’= m_A a

    T’= M 2/3 g

   

Let's look for the relationship between the tensions of the two cases

   T’/ T = 2/3 M g / (½ M g)

   T’/ T = 4/3

   T’= 4/3 T

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer  e

ziro4ka [17]
Each principal energy level has one sublevel containing one orbital, an s orbital, that can contain a maximum of two electrons. Electrons in this orbital are called s electrons and have the lowest energy of any electrons in that principal energy level.
