Answer:

$0.384 Gm$

Explanation:

The average distance between the moon and earth is 384,400 km

Why average distance? Well, the Moon is not always the same distance from Earth, its orbit is not a perfect circle.

Expressing this distance in meters we have:

$384000km*\frac{1000m}{1km}=0.384*10^9m$

Since 1 gigameter (Gm) is $10^9 m$ :

$0.384*10^9m=0.384 Gm$

Answer;

= 3.86 × 10^8 Meters

Explanation;

-The distance between the Earth and the moon is 386000 km

But; 1 km = 1000 m

Therefore; 386000 km will be equivalent to;

= 386000 × 1000

= 386000000 m

= 3.86 × 10^8 meters

(a) How many fringes appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The number of fringe is z = 3 fringes

The ratio is $I = 0.2545I_o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 600 nm$

The distance between the slit is $d = 0.117mm = 0.117 *10^{-3} m$

The width of the slit is $a = 35.7 \mu m = 35.7 *10^{-6}m$

let z be the number of fringes that appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit pattern is and this mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{d}{a}$

Substituting values

$z = \frac{0.117*10^{-3}}{35.7 *10^{-6}}$

z = 3 fringes

From the question we are told that the order of the bright fringe is n = 3

Generally the intensity of a pattern is mathematically represented as

$I = I_o cos^2 [\frac{\pi d sin \theta}{\lambda} ][\frac{sin (\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda } )}{\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda} } ]$

Where $I_o$ is the intensity of the central fringe

And Generally $sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda }{d}$

$I = I_o co^2 [ \frac{\pi (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} ] [\frac{\frac{sin (\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} }{\frac{\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} } ]$

$I = I_o cos^2 (n \pi)[\frac{\frac{sin(\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} )}{ \frac{ \pi a (\frac{n \lambda }{d} )}{\lambda} } ]$

$I = I_o cos^2 (3 \pi) [\frac{sin (\frac{3 \pi }{6} )}{\frac{3 \pi}{6} } ]$

$I = I_o (1)(0.2545)$

$I = 0.2545I_o$

Bond [772]

Assuming that reaching a height 0 doesn’t stop the ball, and that it accelerates at 9.8 m/s^2, the ball would be traveling at 0.5 + 0.7*9.8 = 7.36 m/s downwards.

Complete Question:

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).

Answer:

7.2 gm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = mass * velocity$

Given the following data;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 kgm/s

1 kg = 1000 g

Substituting the unit in kilograms with grams, we have;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 * 1000 gm/s

<em>Momentum = 7.2 gm/s. </em>
