Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 7000 7000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs

Answer:

θ = 28.9°

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength; λ = 602nm = 602 x 10^(-9) m

Lines per centimetre = 7000 /cm = 700000 /m

Thus, the distance between 2 adjacent lines is;

d = 1/700000 = 1.43 x 10^(-6) m

The angle at which diffracted light is formed is given by the formula

mλ = d sinθ

Where;

m is the mth order of the diffraction

λ is the wavelength of the incident light

d is the distance separating the centres of 2 adjacent slits

θ is the angle at which diffraction occurs

From the question, m is 1 because it says first order.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values into mλ = d sinθ, we have;

1 x 602 x 10^(-9) = 1.43 x 10^(-6) sinθ

sinθ = 602 x 10^(-9)/(1.43 x 10^(-6))

sinθ = 0.42098

θ = sin^(-1) 0.42098

θ = 28.9°

Sanitation can be accomplished by all of the means except
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Air drying

Explanation:

Sanitation is the set of measures that aims to preserve or modify the conditions of the environment in order to prevent diseases and promote health, improve the quality of life of the population and the productivity of the individual and facilitate economic activity. Basic sanitation is a right guaranteed by the Constitution as the set of services, infrastructure and operational installations for water supply, sanitary sewage, urban cleaning, urban drainage, solid waste and rainwater management.

Sanitation can be carried out in several ways, except for dry air, as this would damage the quality of sanitation and the environment.

Sanitation is important in treated water, sewage collection and treatment services lead to an improvement in the quality of people's lives, especially in child health, with a reduction in child mortality, improvements in education, in the expansion of tourism, in the valuation of properties, in income of the worker, in the cleaning of rivers and preservation of water resources, etc.

Four velcro-lined air-hockey disks collide with each other in a perfectly
Reil [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the final velocity is approximately 0.526 m/s in approximately the direction of 8.746° East of South

Explanation:

The given collision parameters are;

The kind of collision experienced by the four velcro-lined air-hockey disk = Inelastic collision

The mass of the first disk, m₁ = 50.0 g

The velocity of the first disk, v₁ = 0.80 m/s West = -0.8·i

The mass of the second disk, m₂ = 60.0 g

The velocity of the second disk, v₂ = 2.50 m/s North = 2.5·j

The mass of the third disk, m₃ = 100.0 g

The velocity of the third disk, v₃ = 0.20 m/s East = 0.20·i

The mass of the fourth disk, m₄ = 40.0 g

The velocity of the fourth disk, v₄ = 0.50 m/s South = -0.50·j

Therefore, the total initial momentum of the four velcro-lined air-hockey disk, \Sigma P_{initial} is given as follows;

\Sigma P_{initial} = m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂ + m₃·v₃ + m₄·v₄ = 50.0×(-0.80·i) + 60.0×(2.50·j) + 100 × (0.20·i) + 40.0 × (-0.50·j)

∴ \Sigma P_{initial} = -40·i + 150·j + 20·i - 20·j = -20·i + 130·j

∴ \Sigma P_{initial} = -20·i + 130·j

By the law of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

\Sigma P_{initial} = \Sigma P _{final} = -20·i + 130·j

Therefore, given that the collision is perfectly inelastic, the disks move as one after the collision and the four masses are added to form one mass, "m", m = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ + m₄ = 50.0 + 60.0 + 100.0 + 40.0 = 250.0

∴ m = 250.0 g

Let, "v" represent the final velocity of the four disks moving as one after the collision

We have;

\Sigma P _{final} = m × v = 250.0 × v = -20·i + 130·j

∴ v = -20·i/250 + 130·j/250 = -0.08·i + 0.52·j

The final velocity of the four disks after collision, v = -0.08·i + 0.52·j

The magnitude of the final velocity, \left | v \right | = √((-0.08)² + (0.52)²) ≈ 0.526

\left | v \right | ≈ 0.526 m/s

The direction of the final velocity, θ = arctan(0.52/(-0.08)) ≈ -81.254°

The direction of the final velocity, θ ≈ -81.254° which is 8.746° East of South
