Two narrow slits are 0.12 mm apart. light of wavelength 550 nm illuminates the slits, causing an interference pattern on a scree

n 1.0 m away. Light from each slit travels to the m=1 maximum on the right side of the central maximum. how much farther did the light from the left slit travel that the light from the right slit?

Answer:

500 nm

Explanation:

$d_l$ = Distance traveled by light from left slit

$d_r$ = Distance traveled by light from right slit

$\Delta x$ = Path difference = $d_l-d_r$

m = Order = 1

$\lambda$ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Path difference is given by

$\Delta x=m\lambda\\\Rightarrow d_l-d_r=1\times 550\\\Rightarrow d_l-d_r=500\ nm$

The required distance is 500 nm

A speeding car traveling at 24.8 m/s passes a police car that is at rest. The police car begins its pursuit at the instant the s

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

the acceleration required is 1.37m/s^2

Explanation:

The car is having a constant velocity movement, so if we calculate the time to reach 897m, we can use it to find the acceleration the policeman need to apply to reach the car.

$x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}\\t=\frac{897m}{24.8m/s}\\t=36.17s$

the policeman is traveling with a constant acceleration starting from rest so:

$x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\a=\frac{2*x}{t^2}\\\\a=1.37 m/s2$

6. Mr. Leppold jumps out of a plane with a parachute...before the chute opens,

polet [3.4K]

1) He has both potential and kinetic energy

2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

1)

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the body above the ground

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the object

Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:

- It is moving at a certain speed, so $v\neq 0$ , therefore he has kinetic energy

- He is at a certain height above the ground, $h\neq 0$ , therefore he has potential energy

2)

The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:

$E=PE+KE$

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.

During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as $h$ decreases, the potential energy decreases too.

However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.

Determine the components of reaction at the fixed support

denis-greek [22]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The components of reaction at the fixed support are

$A_{(x)} = 400 \ N$ , $A_{(y)} = -500 \ N$ , $A_{(z)} = 600 \ N$ , $M_x = 1225 \ N\cdot m$ , $M_y = 750 \ N\cdot m$ , $M_z = 0 \ N\cdot m$

Explanation:

Looking at the diagram uploaded we see that there are two forces acting along the x-axis on the fixed support

These force are 400 N and $A_{(x)}$ [ i.e the reactive force of 400 N ]

Hence the sum of forces along the x axis is mathematically represented as

$A_{(x)} - 400 = 0$

=> $A_{(x)} = 400 \ N$

Looking at the diagram uploaded we see that there are two forces acting along the y-axis on the fixed support

These force are 500 N and $A_{(y)}$ [ i.e the force acting along the same direction with 500 N ]

Hence the sum of forces along the x axis is mathematically represented as

$A_{(y)} + 500 = 0$

=> $A_{(y)} = -500 \ N$

Looking at the diagram uploaded we see that there are two forces acting along the z-axis on the fixed support

These force are 600 N and $A_{(z)}$ [ i.e the reactive force of 600 N ]

Hence the sum of forces along the x axis is mathematically represented as

$A_{(z)} - 600 = 0$

=> $A_{(z)} = 600 \ N$

Generally taking moment about A along the x-axis we have that

$\sum M_x = M_x - 500 (0.75 + 0.5) + 600 ( 1 ) = 0$

=> $M_x = 1225 \ N\cdot m$

Generally taking moment about A along the y-axis we have that

$\sum M_y = M_y - 400 (0.75 ) + 600 ( 0.75 ) = 0$

=> $M_y = 750 \ N\cdot m$

Generally taking moment about A along the z-axis we have that

$\sum M_z = M_z = 0$

=> $M_z = 0 \ N\cdot m$
