Answer:

friction force must be equal to the magnitude of weight of the object

Explanation:

When the object is stuck against the wall

then we will have

F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}

also we know that

mg = F_f

so if the block is at rest and not sliding then in vertical direction the force must be balanced

so here we can say

F_g = F_f

so friction force must be equal to the magnitude of weight of the object

Suppose the wavelength of the light is 550 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to t
Bogdan [553]

Complete question:

Suppose the wavelength of the light is 550 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit than it is from the dot to the right slit? Fringe C is the central maximum.

Check the image uploaded.

Answer:

The difference is 1100 nm

Explanation:

A bright fringe creates constructive interference, the wavelength is always in a multiple form.

At center fringe, the difference is (550 nm)(0) = 0

For the first maximum, the difference is (550 nm)(1) = 550 nm

For the second maximum, the difference = (550 nm)(2) = 1100 nm

Thus, for nth maxima, the difference is (550 nm)(n)

From the image uploaded, C is located on the second maximum, therefore the difference is given as  (550 nm)(2) = 1100 nm

Therefore, the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit is 1100 nm

According to the second law of thermodynamics, it is impossible for ____________. According to the second law of thermodynamics,
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

It's impossible for an ideal heat engine to have non-zero power.

Explanation:

Option A is incomplete and so it's possible.

Option B is possible

Option D is related to the first lae and has nothing to do with the second law.

Hence, the correct option is C.

The ideal engine follows a reversible cycle albeit an infinitely slow one. If the work is being done at this infinitely slow rate, the power of such an engine is zero.

We can also stat the second law of thermodynamics in this manner;

It is impossible to construct a cyclical heat engine whose sole effect is the continuous transfer of heat energy from a colder object to a hotter one.

This statement is known as second form or Clausius statement of the second law.

Thus, it is possible to construct a machine in which a heat flow from a colder to a hotter object is accompanied by another process, such as work input.

On the earth, when an astronaut throws a 0.250 kg stone vertically upward, it returns to his hand a time T later. On planet X he
Igoryamba

Answer:\frac{g}{2}

Explanation:

Given

mass of stone\left ( m\right )=0.250 kg

Let initial velocity with which it is thrown upward is u

therefore after time t it's velocity is zero at highest point

t=\frac{u}{g}

where g= gravity at earth

therefore T=2\times \frac{u}{g}-------1

Now same thing is done in Planet X where gravity is g'

therefore time taken by stone to reach surface is

T'=T=2\times \frac{u}{g'}-------2

Divide 1 & 2

\frac{T}{T'}=\frac{g'}{g}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{g'}{g}

g'=\frac{g}{2}
