Answer:

The correct answer is option a. 400J

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

To know if the work is positive or negative we have to know the following:

The work is positive when the gas performs (expansion)

The work is negative when done outside on the gas (compression)

In this case the work is done by the gas, so it is positive.

The correct answer is option a. 400J

Calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 580-nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.100 mm.
alekssr [168]

<u>Answer:</u> The angle of diffraction is 0.498°

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the angle of diffraction, we use the equation given by Bragg, which is:

n\lambda =2d\sin \theta

where,  

n = order of diffraction = 3

\lambda = wavelength of the light = 580nm=5.80\times 10^{-7}m    (Conversion factor:  1m=10^{9}nm )

d = spacing between the crystal planes = 0.100 mm = 1.0\times 10^{-4}       (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\theta = angle of diffraction = ?

Putting values in above equation:

3\times 5.80\times 10^{-7}=2\times 1.00\times 10^{-4}\sin \theta\\\\\sin \theta = 0.0087\\\\\theta=\sin ^{-1} (0.0087)=0.498

Hence, the angle of diffraction is 0.498°

A 3.0 kg object moving 8.0 m/s in the positive x direction has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object (mass = M) ini
finlep [7]
<h2>Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Let the mass of object be m and M.

Initial velocity object 1 be u₁,  object 2 be u₂

Final velocity object 1 be v₁,  object 2 be v₂

Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s

Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

We have

            Initial momentum = Final momentum

            24 = 3v₁ + 6M

            v₁ + 2M = 8

             v₁ = 8 - 2M

            Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

            96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

            v₁² + 12 M = 64

Substituting  v₁ = 8 - 2M

           (8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64    

           64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64    

            4M² = 20 M

               M = 5 kg

Option 2 is the correct answer.
