Answer:

C

Explanation:

Thin film interference is most constructive or most destructive when the path length difference for the two rays is an integral or half-integral wavelength, respectively. That is, for rays incident perpendicularly, 2t = λn, 2λn, 3λn, . . . or 2t = λn/2, 3λn/2, 5λn/2 , .....

We see a constant phase shift off λn/2. Hence option C

Are momentum and kinetic energy conserved during an inelastic collision?

nevsk [136]

Energy and momentum are always conserved. Kinetic energy is not conserved in an inelastic collision though. And that is because it is converted to another form of energy

Arm ab has a constant angular velocity of 16 rad/s counterclockwise. At the instant when theta = 60

geniusboy [140]

The <em>linear</em> acceleration of collar D when <em>θ = 60°</em> is - 693.867 inches per square second.

<h3>How to determine the angular velocity of a collar</h3>

In this question we have a system formed by three elements, the element AB experiments a <em>pure</em> rotation at <em>constant</em> velocity, the element BD has a <em>general plane</em> motion, which is a combination of rotation and traslation, and the ruff experiments a <em>pure</em> translation.

To determine the <em>linear</em> acceleration of the collar ( $a_{D}$ ), in inches per square second, we need to determine first all <em>linear</em> and <em>angular</em> velocities ( $v_{D}$ , $\omega_{BD}$ ), in inches per second and radians per second, respectively, and later all <em>linear</em> and <em>angular</em> accelerations ( $a_{D}$ , $\alpha_{BD}$ ), the latter in radians per square second.

By definitions of <em>relative</em> velocity and <em>relative</em> acceleration we build the following two systems of <em>linear</em> equations:

<h3>Velocities</h3>

$v_{D} + \omega_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma = -\omega_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta$ (1)

$\omega_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma = -\omega_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta$ (2)

<h3>Accelerations</h3>

$a_{D}+\alpha_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma = -\omega_{AB}^{2}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta -\alpha_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta - \omega_{BD}^{2}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma$ (3)

$-\alpha_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma = - \omega_{AB}^{2}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta + \alpha_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta - \omega_{BD}^{2}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma$ (4)

If we know that $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ , $\gamma = 19.889^{\circ}$ , $r_{BD} = 10\,in$ , $\omega_{AB} = 16\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $r_{AB} = 3\,in$ and $\alpha_{AB} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then the solution of the systems of linear equations are, respectively:

<h3>Velocities</h3>

$v_{D}+3.402\cdot \omega_{BD} = -41.569$ (1)

$9.404\cdot \omega_{BD} = -24$ (2)

$v_{D} = -32.887\,\frac{in}{s}$ , $\omega_{BD} = -2.552\,\frac{rad}{s}$

<h3>Accelerations</h3>

$a_{D}+3.402\cdot \alpha_{BD} = -445.242$ (3)

$-9.404\cdot \alpha_{BD} = -687.264$ (4)

$a_{D} = -693.867\,\frac{in}{s^{2}}$ , $\alpha_{BD} = 73.082\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The <em>linear</em> acceleration of collar D when <em>θ = 60°</em> is - 693.867 inches per square second. $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is incomplete and figure is missing, complete form is introduced below:

<em>Arm AB has a constant angular velocity of 16 radians per second counterclockwise. At the instant when θ = 60°, determine the acceleration of collar D.</em>
