Answer:

a ) 1.267 radian

b ) 1.084 10⁻³ mm

Explanation:

Distance of screen D = 1.65 m

Width of slit d = ?

Wave length of light   λ  = 687 nm.

Distance of second minimum fro centre y = 2.09 cm

Angle of diffraction = y / D

=  2.09 /1.65  

= 1.267. radian

Angle of diffraction of second minimum

= 2 λ / d

so 2 λ / d = 1.267

d = 2 λ / 1.267 = (2 x 687 ) /1.267 nm

=1084.45 nm = 1.084 x 10⁻³ mm.

Answer:

-9.46 N

Explanation:

In order to get the value of the x component of the resultant force, we need to get the value of the x component of each force.

This value will be the projection of the force vector, on the x-axis.

For F₁, as it is directed at an angle of 55.0º above the negative x axis, we can find F₁ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:

cos θ = \frac{x}{r}

In this case, x = F₁ₓ, and r = F₁

θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:

θ= 180º-55º = 125º

⇒ F₁ₓ = F₁* cosθ = 9.2 N * cos 125º = -5.28 N

We can repeat the process for F₂, as follows:

For F₂, as it is directed at an angle of 53.3º below the negative x axis, we can find F₂ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:

cos θ = \frac{x}{r}

In this case, x = F₂ₓ, and r = F₂

θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:

θ= 180º + 53.3º = 233.3º

⇒ F₂ₓ = F₂* cosθ = 7.00 N * cos 233.3º = -4.18 N

The total component of both forces along the x axis, can be found just adding both components, as follows:

Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ = -5.28 N + -4.18 N = -9.46 N

A car drives 23m/s east for 35 seconds. What is the displacement?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

805m

Explanation:

Speed = displacement/time

Speed = 23m/s

Time = 35s

Displacement = speed × time

= 23 × 35

= 805m
