Answer:

The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J

Explanation:

The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries

In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table

Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are

Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm

Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm

The total potential energy at point A is

Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm

which gives per unit mass

PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J

How long does it take for the speed of light and sound to travel around the world
irina [24]

-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.

-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nmnm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nmnm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm
Ratling [72]

(a) The screen  is 3.20m from the split.

(b) The closest minima for green, distance Δy = 0.45 cm.

When a wave hits a barrier or opening, numerous events are referred to as diffraction. It is described as the interference or bending of waves via an aperture or around the corners of an obstruction into the area that forms the geometric shadow of the obstruction or aperture.

(a)Equation of minima = sinθ  = mλ/α

Given, m = 3, λ = 6.33X10⁻⁷, α = 0.00015

Putting the values in formula to get θ.

  θ = sin⁻¹ ( \frac{3 X 6.33X10^{-7} }{0.00015} ) = 0.01266 rad

triangle need to be drawn to find relationship between θ, y$ and L

tan(θ) = y/L  where; y = 4.05 cm

L = y/tan(θ) = 3.20

Hence, the screen is 3.20m from the split.

(b) Find the closest minima for green

minima equation is sinθ  = mλ/α where, m = 4 (minima with smallest distance)

sinθ  = 4λ/α

θ = sin⁻¹ (\frac{4X6.33X10^{-7} }{0.00015}) = 0.01688 rad

Calculate L using

tanθ = y/L

  L = 4.5 cm

From equation subtract y₃ from y:

                 4.50 cm - 4.05 cm = 0.45 cm

Hence, distance Δy = 0.45 cm.

Question

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm slit. On the other side of the slit is a white screen. When the red laser is turned on, it creates a diffraction pattern on the screen.

a. The distance y3,red from the center of the pattern to the location of the third diffraction minimum of the red laser is 4.05 cm. How far L is the screen from the slit? Express this distance L in meters to three significant figures.

b. With both lasers turned on, the screen shows two overlapping diffraction patterns. The central maxima of the two patterns are at the same position. What is the distance Δy between the third minimum in the diffraction pattern of the red laser (from Part A) and the nearest minimum in the diffraction pattern of the green laser?
