Answer:

d = 0.247 mm

Explanation:

given,

λ = 633 nm

distance from the hole to the screen = L = 4 m

width of the central maximum = 2.5 cm

                                             2 y = 0.025 m

                                               y = 0.0125 m

For circular aperture

  sin \theta = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

using small angle approximation

  \theta = \dfrac{y}{D}

now,

   \dfrac{y}{D} = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

   y = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda\ D}{d}

   d = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda\ D}{y}

   d = 1.22\dfrac{633\times 10^{-9}\times 4}{0.0125}

         d =0.247 x 10⁻³ m

         d = 0.247 mm

the diameter of the hole is equal to 0.247 mm

What would the final volume of 40 L of gas at 80 pascals be if the pressure increases to 130 pascals?
melomori [17]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 L

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 40 L

Initial pressure = 80 Pa

Final pressure = 130 Pa

To find the final volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

PV = K

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

80 * 40 = 130V_{2}

3200 = 130V_{2}

V_{2} = \frac {3200}{130}

V_{2} = 24.62

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 Liters

PLEASE HELPPPP ❗️❗️❗️
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are 3 main forces at work here, gravity, normal and friction. The gravity pulls the car straight down and is what keeps the car on the ground. Normal force is straight up from the points where the car is touching, so since the wheels are the only parts of the car touching the street, this is where all the normal force is. Friction force opposes any and all motion, the car wants to slide down the hill and would slide down the hill if there was no friction, so the friction force is in the opposite direction of the cars intended motion.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

u=36.8m/s

Explanation:

because of the acceleration is a constant acceleration we can use one of the "SUVAT" equations

u^2=v^2-2ā*s. where:

u^2 stands for intial velocity

v^2 stands for final velocity

since the cougar skidded to a complete stop the final velocity is zero.

u^2=v^2-2ā*s

u^2=(0)^2 -2(-2.87 m/s^2)*236 m

u^2=0+5.74m/s^2* 236m

u^2=1354.64m^2/s^2

u=√1354.64m^2/s^2

u=36.8m/s (approximate value)

when ever the acceleration is constant you can use one of the following equation to find the required value.

1. v = u + at. (no s)

2. s= 1/2(u+v)t. (no ā)

3. s=ut + 1/2at^2. ( no v)

4. v^2=u^2 + 2āS. (no t). 5. s= vt - 1/2at^2. (no u)
