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

What symbol represents energy that moves from a hot object to a cooler object?
strojnjashka [21]
The correct answer is 
<span>C) Q

In fact, the symbol Q represents the heat, which is the form of energy transferred from a hot object to a cooler object. Heat generally refers to the energy related to the motion of the particles, and it is related to the temperature of an object: the higher the temperature of an object, the faster the particles of the object move, and so the object can transfer more energy (as heat) to other objects with lower temperature.</span>

Your cell phone typically consumes about 390 mW of power when you text a friend. If the phone is operated using a lithium-ion ba
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

I = 0.11 A

Explanation:

  • In an electric circuit, the power delivered to a load, is just the product of the potential difference between the load terminals, times the current flowing through it, as follows:

       P = V*I

  • In this case, the power is the one consumed by the cell phone = 390 mW, and the voltage the one produced by the internal energy of the battery, 3.5 V, neglecting the voltage loss at the internal resistance of the battery.
  • So, we can solve the above equation for  the current I, as follows:

        I = \frac{P}{V} = \frac{0.39W}{3.5V}  = 0.11 A

  • The current flowing through the cell-phone circuitry is 0.11 A.

A steel ball and a piece of clay have equal mass. They are dropped from the same height on a horizontal steel platform. The ball
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The ball (option A)

Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.

For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)

Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu

For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)

m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.

-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)

Un avión vuela a 10000m de altura y otro a 33300 pies, si un pie equivale a 30.48cm ¿Cuál vuela a mayor altura?
user100 [1]

Answer:

Avion A (10000 meters).

Explanation:

Deje que la altura de los aviones sea A y B respectivamente.

Dados los siguientes datos;

Altura A = 10000 metros

Altura B = 33300 pies

Para encontrar el avión que voló más alto, tendríamos que hacer alguna conversión de unidades.

Conversión:

Metros a centímetros;

1 metro = 100 cm

10000 metros = 100 * 10000 = 1.000.000 centímetros.

Por lo tanto, la altura A en cm = 1,000,000 centímetros

Pies a centímetros;

1 pie = 30,48 centímetros

33300 pies = 33300 * 30,48 = 1014984 centímetros.

Por lo tanto, la altura B en cm = 1014984 centímetros.

De los cálculos anteriores, podemos deducir que el avión A voló más alto.
