Answer:

d = 2,998 10⁷ m

Explanation:

The speed of an electromagnetic wave is the speed of light

      c = 2,998 10⁸ m / s

This speed is in a vacuum, when the light is in a material medium, its speed is lower than this, even when the order of magnitude is maintained.

Since the speed of a wave is constant, we can use the kinematic relationship

       c = d / t

       d = c t

Let's calculate

      d = 2,998 108 0.1

      d = 2,998 10⁷ m

in the vacuum or air

1. In Newton’s ring experiment, the diameter of the 5th ring is 0.30 cm and diameter of 15th the ring is 0.62 cm. Find the diame
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Diameter of Newton’s 5th ring = 0.30 cm

Diameter of Newton’s 15th ring = 0.62 cm

Diameter of Newton’s 25th ring = ?

From Newton’s rings experiment we infer that

D2n+m − D2n = 4λmR

For the 5th and 15th rings we have

D215 − D25 = 4λ * 10 * R _______ (1) (m = 10)

For 15th and 25th rings

D225 − D215 = 4λ * 10 * R _______ (2) (m = 10)

We equate the two derivatives

Equation (2) = Equation (1)

D225 − D215 = D215 − D25

D225 = 2D215 – D25

Substituting the values into the equation

D225 = 2 * 0.62 * 0.62 – 0.3 * 0.3 =0.6788 cm2

D25 = 0.8239 cm

Hi there!

Impulse = Change in momentum

I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)

Where:

m = mass of object (kg)

vf = final velocity (m/s)

vi = initial velocity (m/s)

Begin by converting grams to kilograms:

1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg

Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.

I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns

The magnitude is the absolute value, so:

|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns
