vladimir1956 [14]

Use: dsin(θ) = mλ where d is slit separation, m is fringe order (1 here), and
θ = 0.183
Now λ = dsin(θ) /m = (0.215e-3)(sin(0.183))/1 = 6.867e-7 or λ = 687.7nm

Consider an unknown charge that is released from rest at a particular location in an electric field so that it has some initial

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the charge is released at rest in an electric field, it will move along the electric field, going to regions of higher electric potential if it is a negative charge (against the field direction) and towards lower potential regions if it is positive (along the field). This means that the charge will gain kinetic energy, energy that only can come from a decrease in the electric potential energy.

For a positive charge: ΔEp = q*ΔV < 0 (as ΔV < 0)

For a negative charge: ΔEp = (-q) *ΔV < 0 (as ΔV > 0)

Why are springs made of steel and not of copper.

torisob [31]

Answer:

Springs are made of a variety of materials including copper and various forms of steel. The most common is high carbon steel as it is cheap, easy to work and a couple of other important properties.

Copper springs exist as well, but copper is more expensive than steel. However, in an environment where corrosion resistance is important, copper springs are a good alternative.
