Answer:

13.8 m

Explanation:

Dark fringes are formed in a single slit experiment due to destructive interference that occurs due to interference.

The position of these dark fringes formed on a screen is given by:

y = \frac{\lambda }{d} (m + 1/2)D

where y = position of  mth minimum

m = order of the minimum

D = distance of the slit from the screen

d = width of the slit

λ = wavelength of the light used

We need to find D:

D = \frac{yd} {\lambda (m + 1/2)} \\

From the question:

m = 11

y = 9.85 cm = 0.0985 m

λ  = 6.83 * 10^{-7} m

d = 1.11 mm = 0.0011 m

Therefore:

D = \frac{0.0985 *0.0011} {6.83 * 10^{-7} *(11 + 1/2)} \\\\D = \frac{0.00010835} {6.83 * 10^{-7}  * (23/2)} \\\\D = 13.8 m

The slit is 13.8 m far from the screen

How will the magnetic field of a straight wire carrying a constant current interact with the needle of a compass? Does the inter
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.

Explanation:

A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.

Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.

When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.

The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.

fenix001 [56]

Explanation:

Momentum before = momentum after

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

(65 kg) (0 m/s) + m (0 m/s) = (65 kg) (-3.5 m/s) + m (4 m/s)

m ≈ 57 kg

What results when energy is transformed while juggling three bowling pins?
Nady [450]

Answer:

his is an example of the transformation of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy

Explanation:

The game of juggling bowling is a clear example of the conservation of mechanical energy,

when the bolus is in the upper part of the path mechanical energy is potential energy; As this energy descends, it becomes kinetic energy where the lowest part of the trajectory, just before touching the hand, is totally kinetic.

At the moment of touching the hand, a relationship is applied that reverses the value of the speed, that is, now it is ascending and the cycle repeats.

Therefore this is an example of the transformation of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy

A soccer ball with a mass of 0.434 kg approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 13.0 m/s. The player kicks the ball with
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a) 15.49

b) Opposite to the ball's initial velocity

c) 258.16N

Explanation:

a)

\Delta p=m \Delta v\\\\\Delta p= (0.434)(13.0-(-22.7)) \\\\\Delta p=(0.434)(35.7)\approx 15.49 kg \cdot m/s

b)

Since the player is kicking the ball in the opposite direction to which it came, the impulse is being directed opposite to the ball's initial velocity.

c)

\Delta p= F \Delta t \\\\\\F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} \\\\\\F=\dfrac{15.49 kg \cdot m/s}{0.06 s}\approx 258.16N

Hope this helps!
