If he’s walking at a constant velocity there is no acceleration.
Answer:
a. λ = 647.2 nm
b. I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
Given:
β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m
a.
The wavelength of the radiation can be find using
β = 2 π / γ * sin θ
λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β
λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad
λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m ⇒ λ = 647.2 nm
b.
The intensity of the central maximum I₀
I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²
I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²
I = I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵
For the answer to the question above, each horse's force forms a right angle triangle with the barge and subtends an angle of 60/2 = 30°. The resultant in the direction of the barge's motion is:
Fx = Fcos(∅)
We can multiply this by 2 to find the resultant of both horses.
Fx = 2Fcos(∅)
Fx = 2 x 720cos(30)
Fx = 1247 N
