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

If a 54 kg sprinter can accelerate from a standing start to a speed of 10 m/s in 3 s, what average power is generated?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Power, P = 600 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of sprinter, m = 54 kg

Speed, v = 10 m/s

Time taken, t = 3 s

We need to find the average power generated. The work done divided by time taken is called power generated by the sprinter i.e.

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sprinter.

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 54\ kg\times (10\ m/s)^2}{3\ s}

P = 900 watts

So, the average power generated by the sprinter is 900 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Resistance and resistivity are related by a: 1.factor that is dependent on the length of the material 2.factor that is dependent
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1. factor that is dependent on the length of the material.

2. factor that is dependent on the area of the material

Explanation:

Resistance R is directly proportional to its length L of an object and it is inversely proportional to the crossectional area of that object.

Mathematically, this is represented as:

a) Resistance R is directly proportional to its length L of an object

R ∝ L ......... Equation 1

b) Resistance R is inversely proportional to the crossectional area (A) of an object

R ∝ 1/A ............ Equation 2

Combining the two equations together, we have:

Resistance R is directly proportional to its length L of an object

R ∝ L/A .......... Equation 3

Resistivity of a material is the natural or inherent or intrinsic property that a material has. The Resistivity of a material is not dependent on the length or crossectional area of such material. It is only temperature dependent.

The resistance of a material is also dependent on the resistivity of the material. This means the resistance of a material is directly proportional to the resistivity of the material.

R ∝ ρ........Equation 4

Combining Equation 4 and 3 together, we have:

R = ρL/A

Where:

R = Resistance

ρ = Resistivity

L = Length of the material

A = Crossectional area of the material

Resistance and resistivity are related by a factor that is dependent on the length of the material a factor that is dependent on the area of the material

At what constant velocity must a spacecraft travel from earth if it is to reach the star in 3. 7 years, as measured by travelers
tatiyna

The constant velocity that the spacecraft must travel is : 3.49 * 10⁸ m/s

<u>Given data :</u>

Distance of star from earth = 4.3 light years

Observers time = 3.7 years

<h3>Determine the constant velocity the spacecraft must travel </h3>

Observers time = 3.7 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60

Distance of star from earth = 4.3 * 9.46 * 10¹⁵

The velocity the spacecraft must travel will be calculated using the equation

V = distance / time

   = ( 4.3 * 9.46 * 10¹⁵ ) / ( 3.7 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 )

   = 3.49 * 10⁸ m/s

Hence we can conclude that The constant velocity that the spacecraft must travel is : 3.49 * 10⁸ m/s
