Answer:

= 6.55cm

Explanation:

Given that,

distance = 1.26 m

distance between  two fourth-order maxima = 53.6 cm

distance between central bright fringe and fourth order maxima

y = Y / 2

  =  53.6cm / 2

  = 26.8 cm

  =0.268 m

tan θ = y / d

         = 0.268 m /  1.26 m

         = 0.2127

       θ = 12°

4th maxima

d sinθ = 4λ

d / λ = 4 / sinθ

d / λ = 4 / sin 12°

d / λ = 19.239

for first (minimum)

d sinθ = λ / 2

sinθ =  λ / 2d

       =  1 / 2(19.239)

       = 1 / 38.478

       = 0.02599

    θ =  1.489°

tan θ = y / d

y = d tan θ

  = 1.26 tan 1.489°

  = 0.03275

the total width of the central bright fringe  

Y = 2y

  = 2(0.03275)

  = 0.0655m

  = 6.55cm

Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle it makes with the positive x-axis. (Let |a| = 22 lb and |b| = 16 lb. Rou
SVEN [57.7K]

Incomplete question as the angle between the force is not given I assumed angle of 55°.The complete question is here

Two forces, a vertical force of 22 lb and another of 16 lb, act on the same object. The angle between these forces is 55°. Find the magnitude and direction angle from the positive x-axis of the resultant force that acts on the object. (Round to one decimal places.)  

Answer:

Resultant Force=33.8 lb

Angle=67.2°

Explanation:

Given data

Fa=22 lb

Fb=16 lb

Θ=55⁰

To find

(i) Resultant Force F

(ii)Angle α

Solution

First we need to represent the forces in vector form

\sqrt{x} F_{1}=22j\\ F_{2}=u+v\\F_{2}=16sin(55)i+16cos(55)j\\F_{2}=16(0.82)i+16(0.5735)j\\F_{2}=13.12i+9.176j

Total Force

F=F_{1}+F_{2}\\ F_{2}=22j+13.12i+9.176j\\F_{2}=13.12i+31.176j

The Resultant Force is given as

|F|=\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }\\|F|=\sqrt{(13.12)^{2} +(31.176)^{2} }\\ |F|=33.8lb

For(ii) angle

We can find the angle bu using tanα=y/x

So

tan\alpha =\frac{31.176}{13.12}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{31.176}{13.12})\\\alpha =67.2^{o}

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?
AlladinOne [14]
The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!
