In a computer-based experiment to study diffraction, the width of the central diffraction peak is 15.20 mm. The wavelength of th

pogonyaev

Answer:

$a = 5.7 \times 10^{-5} m$

Explanation:

As we know that position of first minimum on the either side of central maximum is given as

$a sin\theta = \lambda$

$\theta =sin^{-1} \frac{\lambda}{a}$

so the width of the central maximum is given as

$W = L (2\theta)$

so we have

$15.20 \times 10^{-3} = 0.68 \times 2(sin^{-1} \frac{\lambda}{a})$

so we have

$0.011 = sin^{-1} \frac{\lambda}{a}$

$0.011 = \frac{638 nm}{a}$

$a = 5.7 \times 10^{-5} m$

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

$q$ = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

$\Delta V$ =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

$v$ = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

$(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}$

$r$ = Radius of the path followed by ion

$B$ = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

$qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm$

The “turning effect of a force” (T = F * r) is:

Doss [256]

Answer:

b and e

Explanation:

r x F is the formula for torque.

The "turning effect" or torque happens when concentric forces rotate an object along said center.

a) False because T = Fr = Ia (a = angular acceleration)

b) True

c) False. L = Iw (w = angular velocity), which does not equal Ia

d) False. It is torque, not the product of torque and something else

e) True.

Answer:

No, projectile launched at 20° landed first.

Explanation:

70° projectile had a vertical velocity of v*sin(70), which is significantly bigger than v*sin(20). Since v=vx+at, we can see that $Vyi*sin(20)-gt < Vyi*sin(70)-gt$

solve for t, you can check that by substituting velocity for any number.
