Answer:

Diffraction pattern are due to interference.

Explanation:

Diffraction patterns are due to interference. Diffraction is the process of bending of light when it reaches the obstacle. A diffraction pattern is formed at the screen in which there are some bright and dark band.

Diffraction can be done using single slit, diffraction grating and double silt. Hence, the correct option is (a) "interference ".

A coffee filter of mass 1.2 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic ener

iren [92.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Here, the potential energy of the coffee filter is getting converted into kinetic energy of the coffee filter and some energy is lost by it which is gained by the air molecules in the form of kinetic energy.

So, calculating the potential energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

P = mgh

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = $1.2\times 10^{-3}kg$ (Conversion used: 1 kg = 1000 g)

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.8m/s^2$

h = height of coffee filter = 1 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$P=1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times 9.8m/s^2\times 1m\\\\P=1.176\times 10^{-2}J$

Calculating the kinetic energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = $1.2\times 10^{-3}kg$

v = speed of coffee filter = 0.8 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times (0.8m/s)^2\\\\E=3.84\times 10^{-4}J$

As, energy lost by coffee filter = energy gained by air molecules

So, energy lost by coffee filter = Potential energy - Kinetic energy

Energy lost by coffee filter = $(1.176\times 10^{-2})-(3.84\times 10^{-4})=0.011J$

Hence, the energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

1. An object has a mass of 10g and a volume of 50mL. What is the density?

Alona [7]

1. 0.2 g/mL

The relationship between mass, density and volume of an object is

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

d is the density

m is the mass

V is the volume

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 10 g

V = 50 mL

Substituting into the equation,

$d=\frac{10}{50}=0.2 g/mL$

2. 10 mL

In this exercise we know:

- The density of the object: d = 2 g/mL

- The mass of the object: m = 20 g

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the volume:

$V=\frac{m}{d}$

And substituting values into the equation, we find

$V=\frac{20}{2}=10 mL$
