Answer:

1 hour

Explanation:

Speed of the first boat = 30 mph

Speed of the second = 40 mph

The boats will cover different distances but the time taken will be the same.

Time taken by the boats = t

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance covered by the first boat = 30t

Distance covered by the second boat = 40t

Distance between the boats = 50 mi

From the Pythagoras theorem

\sqrt{(30t)^2+(40t)^2}=50\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{2500t^2}=50\\\Rightarrow 50t=50\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{50}{50}=1\ hour

Time taken by the boats when they are 50 mi away is 1 hour

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries current toward the east. A proton moves toward the east alongside and just south of th
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

north direction.

Explanation:

The wire carries a current towards the east . The magnetic field will make circular path around the wire in clockwise direction  so at a point just south of wire , magnetic field will be into the plane of paper containing wire. If we take east as x -axes , north as y axes then out of plane will form z axes. Hence direction of magnetic field will be -  z direction .

Magnetic field can be represented as - B k

Proton is moving towards east ie in + x direction so it can be represented as follows

velocity = V i

Force F = q( V i x -B k)

= ( BqV) j or + ve j direction or along north direction

So direction of force will be along north direction.

Coherent monochromatic light of wavelength l passes through a narrow slit of width a, and a diffraction pattern is observed on a
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

λ = a

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise that is described by the expression

          a sin θ = m λ

         sin θ  = m λ/ a

the first zero of the diffraction occurs for m = 1

        sin θ  = λ / a

 

angles are generally very small and are measured in radians

         sin θ  = θ  = y / x

we substitute

         \frac{y}{x}  = \frac{\lambda}{a}

the width of the central maximum is twice the distance to zero

         w = 2y

in the exercise indicate that this width is equal to twice the distance to the screen (2x)

          W = 2x

           2y = 2x

we substitute

          1 = λ/ a

          λ = a

we see that the width of the slit is equal to the wavelength used.
