Answer:

a) The wavelength of light is 6×10^-7 m.

b) The size of the central peak is 6×10^-3 m.

Explanation:

let:

α be the distance between the 1st and 2nd maxima

d = 0.4 mm be the grating slit space

X be the distance to the screen

a) α = λ×X/d

   λ = α×d/X

      = (0.3×10^-2)×(0.4×10^-3)/(2)

      = 6×10^-7 m

Therefore, the wavelength of light is 6×10^-7 m.

b) the size of the central peak is given by:

 D = 2×λ×X/d

     = 2×(6×10^-7)×(2)/(0.4×10^-3)

     = 6×10^-3 m

Therefore, the size of the central peak is 6×10^-3 m.

Two long, parallel wires are separated by 2.0 m. Each wire has a 28-A current, but the currents are in opposite directions. Part
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Given Information:  

Current = I = 28 A

distance between wires = r = 2.0 m

Required Information:  

Magnetic field = B = ?

Answer:  

B = 12x10⁻⁶ T

Step-by-step explanation:  

Biot-Savart Law is given by  

B = μ₀I/2πr

Where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current flowing through the wire and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field produced.  

We are asked to find the magnetic field midway between the wires so r/2 = 1

B = 4πx10⁻⁷*28/2π*1

B = 6x10⁻⁶ T

since the same amount of current flows in both wires therefore, equal amount of magnetic field will be produced in both wires

B = 2*6x10⁻⁶ T

B = 12x10⁻⁶ T

Therefore, the net magnetic field midway between the two wires is 12x10⁻⁶ T.

You are riding on a carousel that is rotating at a constant 24 rpm. It has an inside radius of 4 ftand outside radius of 12 ft.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration is 44.235 ft/s² and the direction of the acceleration is along the axis of transmission

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Speed of carousel N = 24 rpm

From the diagram below, selected path direction defines the Axis of slip.

Hence, The Coriolis is acting along the axis of transmission

Now, we determine the angular speed ω of the carousel.

ω = 2πN / 60

we substitute in the value of N

ω = (2π × 24) / 60

ω = 2.5133 rad/s

Next, we convert the given velocity from mph to ft/s

we know that; 1 mph = 1.4667 ft/s

so

V_{slip = 6 mph = ( 6 × 1.4667 ) = 8.8002 ft/s

Now, we determine the magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration

a_c = 2( V_{slip × ω )

we substitute

a_c = 2( 8.8002 ft/s × 2.5133 rad/s )

a_c = 44.235 ft/s²

Hence, magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration is 44.235 ft/s² and the direction of the acceleration is along the axis of transmission

In the future, people will only enjoy one sport: Electrodes. In this sport, you gain points when you cause metallic discs hoveri
pochemuha

Answer:

  • Disk C and Disk D

Explanation:

The total charge in the disks

q_1 + q_2 = q_{total}

must be conserved before and after bringing them together.

Lets equate the sum of the initial charge with the sum of the final for the disk:

q_{1_i} + q_{2_i} = q_{1_f} + q_{2_f} = 2 * (+8.5) \mu C

q_{1_i} + q_{2_i} = +17 \mu C

So, the initial charges must sum +17 μC.

Now, as there are no charges over +17 μC, this means that both charges must be positive.

As the only positive charges are q_C and q_D, this disk must be the ones we are looking for. And, as we can see, they sum 17 μC:

q_{C} + q_{D} = 5 \mu C + 12 \mu C = 17 \mu C
