Two sources of light of wavelength 686 nm are separated by a horizontal distance x. They are 3 m from a vertical slit of width 0

.5 mm. What is the least value of x for which the diffraction pattern of the sources can be resolved by Rayleigh's criterion?

Answer:

X = 5.48 mm

Explanation:

for single slit

By Rayleigh criterian

$sin\theta _R = \frac{\lambda}{d}$

$sin\theta _R = tan\theta _R ≈ \frac{x}{3}$

where d = slit width =0.5 mm

wavelength $\lambda = 686 nm$

$\frac{x}{3} =\frac{686*10^{-9}}{0.5*10^{-3}}$

therefore maximum of value of X can be calculated from above

$X = 5.48*10^{-3} m$

X = 5.48 mm

Answer:

1. well the value may vary because of different reactions to the technology because its new to a lot of people but to younger ones its something normal and something we cant live without but with older ones its something that they have lived without for most of there life.

PLEASE HELP!! At what temperature will silver have a resistivity that is four times the resistivity of tungsten at room temperat

Svetach [21]

Consider 20 deg.C. as room temperature.

From tables,
Silver has a resistivity of 1.6*10^-8 ohm-m at 20 deg.C, and it increases by 0.0038 ohm-m per deg.K increase.
Therefore if the temperature rise above 20 deg.C is T, then silver will have resistivity of
1.6*10^-8(1 + 0.0038T) ohm-m

At room temperature, the resistivity of tungsten (from tables) is 5.6*10^-8.

The resistivity of silver will be 4 times that of tungsten (at room temperature) when
1.6*10^-8(1 + 0.0038T) = 4*5.6*10^-8
1 + 0.0038T = 14
T = 13/.0038 = 3421 deg.K approx

Answer: 20 + 3421 = 3441 °C

1.)Two objects, one of m=20,000 kg, and another of 12,500 kg, are placed at a distance of 5 meters apart. What is the force of g

Delvig [45]

1) $6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N$

The force of gravitation between the two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} kg^{-1} m^{3} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1 = 20,000 kg is the mass of the first object

m2 = 12,500 kg is the mass of the second object

r = 5 m is the distance between the two objects

Substituting the numbers inside the equation, we find

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(20,000 kg)(12,500 kg)}{(5 m)^2}=6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N$

2) $2.7\cdot 10^{-3} N$

From the formula in exercise 1), we see that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

$F \sim \frac{1}{r^2}$

this means that if we cut in a half the distance without changing the masses, the magnitude of the forces changes by a factor

$F'\sim \frac{1}{(r/2)^2}=4 \frac{1}{r^2}=4F$

So, the gravitational force increases by a factor 4. Therefore, the new force will be

$F' = 4 F=4(6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N)=2.7\cdot 10^{-3} N$

3) 12.5 Nm

The torque is equal to the product between the magnitude of the perpendicular force and the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation:

$\tau=Fd$

Where, in this case:

F = 25 N is the perpendicular force

d = 0.5 m is the distance between the force and the center

By using the equation, we find

$\tau=(25 N)(0.5 m)=12.5 Nm$

4) 0.049 kg m^2/s

The relationship between angular momentum (L), moment of inertia (I) and angular velocity ( $\omega$ ) is:

$L=I\omega$

In this problem, we have

$I=0.007875 kgm^2$

$\omega=6.28 rad/s$

So, the angular momentum is

$L=I\omega=(0.007875 kgm^2)(6.28 rad/s)=0.049 kg m^2/s$

A 56.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.517 and 0.260,

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of frictional force = μ mg

μ is either static or kinetic friction.

To start the crate moving , static friction is calculated .

a ) To start crate moving , force required = μ mg where μ is coefficient of static friction .

force required =.517 x 56.6 x 9.8 = 286.76 N .

b ) to slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed , force required

= μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction , where μ is kinetic friction

= .26 x 56.6 x 9.8 = 144.21 N .
