Young's experiment is performed with light from excited helium atoms (LaTeX: \lambdaλ=502 nm). Fringes are measured carefully on

a screen 1.33 m away from the double slit, and the center of the 18th fringe (not counting the central bright fringe) is found to be 10.7 mm from the center of the central bright fringe. What is the separation of the two slits? Give an answer in mm. Pay attention to the number of significant figures.

Answer:

d = 1.12 mm

Explanation:

The expression for the separation of the interference lines in Young's double slit experiment, for constructive interference is

     d sin θ = m λ

Where d is the separation of the slits, m is the order of interference and λ is the wavelength

Let's use trigonometry to separate the lines on the screen

   tan θ = y/L

As the angles are very small

   tan θ = sin θ / cos θ ≈ Sen θ

We substitute in the initial equation

   d (y/L) = m λ

Let's calculate

    d = m λ L / y

Reduce the SI System

    λ = 502 nm = 502 10⁻⁹ m

    L = 1.33 m

    m = 18

     y = 10.7 mm = 10.7 10⁻³ m

     d = 18 502 10⁻⁹ 1.33 /10.7 10⁻³

    d = 1.12 10⁻³ m

    d = 1.12 mm

We give the answer with three significant figures because all experimental measures have three figures, n is an integer and is not an experimental measure.

A car weighing 9800 N travels at 30 m/s. What braking force brings it to rest in 100m? In 10 m?
Svetach [21]

As per kinematics equation we know that

final speed of the car = 0 m/s

initial speed is given as 30 m/s

distance moved = 100 m

now we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 30^2 = 2(a)(100)

a = - 4.5 m/s^2

now braking force is given as

F = ma

now for mass we know that the weight of car is

W = mg = 9800 N

so mass of car is

m = 1000 kg

now we have

F = 1000(4.5) = 4500 N

Part b)

Again we have

final speed of the car = 0 m/s

initial speed is given as 30 m/s

distance moved = 10 m

now we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 30^2 = 2(a)(10)

a = - 45 m/s^2

now braking force is given as

F = ma

mass of car is

m = 1000 kg

now we have

F = 1000(45) = 45000 N

Who has the greater velocity, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the Earth or you when you have just traveled from
Alik [6]

Answer:

the answer is

Explanation:

constant acceleration

because when the object's velocity is changing then the object is accelerating or decelerating

as acceleration describe changing of velocity so the answer is constant acceleration

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = (Change in velocity) / time taken

Acceleration = (Final velocity - initial velocity) / time

As the object velocity changes by the same amount in each second, it means the acceleration is constant.

An object with a kinetic energy of 2160 J has a new mass of 120kg. What is it's velocity?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The velocity is 6 m/s

Explanation:

We use the formula of kinetic energy=

Ec= 1/2 x m  x v2

2160 J = 1/2 x 120 kg x v2

v =\sqrt[n]{x} 2160Joulex2/120kg\\

v= 6m/s

1Joule= 1 kgm2/s2
