Answer:

y = 0.0233 m

Explanation:

In a Young's Double Slit Experiment the distance between two consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = distance between fringes

λ = wavelength of light

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = Slit Separation

Now, for initial case:

λ = 425 nm = 4.25  x 10⁻⁷ m

y = 2Δx = 0.0177 m => Δx = 8.85 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

8.85 x 10⁻³ m = (4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)L/d

L/d = (8.85 x 10⁻³ m)/(4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)

L/d = 2.08 x 10⁴

using this for λ = 560 nm = 5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m:

Δx = (5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m)(2.08 x 10⁴)

Δx = 0.0116 m

and,

y = 2Δx

y = (2)(0.0116 m)

<u>y = 0.0233 m</u>

A toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction from the roof of a 38.0-m-tall buildin
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider downward displacement first .

downward displacement h = 38 m .

downward acceleration = g

downward initial velocity u = 0

h = ut + 1/2 g t ²

38 = 0 + 9.8 t ²

t = 1.97 s

During this period , there will be horizontal displacement with initial velocity u = 10 m /s and acceleration a = 1.6 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 10 x 1.97 + .5 x 1.6 x 1.97²

= 19.7 + 3.10

= 22.8 m

Let y be the height of the coffee in the funnel at any given time, so that just before the dripping starts we have y = 3. Since
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: y will change the slowest but still with a zero (0) value.

Explanation: at y = 3: the height y will change the slowest when the coffee level is at the top of the cone.

Explain how the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere individually and collectively affect the biosphere. (2 points)
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The hydrosphere, the sphere of influence that deals with water in its various forms (some separate out ice and call that the cryosphere), provides the biosphere with a much needed component....water. Life would not exist as we know it without water. It places in important role for all organisms, alongside playing an important role in various earth processes.

A horizontal disk rotates about a vertical axis through its center. Point P is midway between the center and the rim of the disk
rjkz [21]

<u>If the disk turns with constant angular velocity, the following statements about it are true </u>

  • The linear acceleration of Q is twice as great as the linear acceleration of P
  • is moving twice Q as fast as P.

Answer: Options D and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

Let us consider that R is the radius of the circular disc. So as Q is on the rim, so the distance of Q from the centre of the disc is R and as P is the midpoint between centre and rim of the disk, so the distance of P from the centre is R/2.

As we know that the angular velocity of the circular disk will be equal to the ratio of distance covered by that point to the time taken. So the angular velocity at point Q will be

      \text { Angular velocity at point } Q=\frac{\text { Distance covered by point } Q}{\text { Time }}=\frac{2 \pi R}{T}=v

As R is the distance of point Q from the centre of the disc.

Similarly ,

\text { Angular velocity at point } P=\frac{\text { Distance covered by point } P}{\text { Time }}=\frac{2 \pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)}{T}=\frac{\pi R}{T}=v^{\prime}

So if we equate v with v’ we obtain that

                              v=2 v^{\prime}

Therefore, the point Q will be moving twice as fast as P. As the velocity of Q is more than O, the linear acceleration of point Q will also be twice as great as the linear acceleration of P.

This is because acceleration is directly proportional to the rate of change in velocity. So if velocity increases in the factor of 2, the acceleration of point Q will also increase twice with respect to point P.
