Answer: Stationary reference points are used to determine if a object is in motion because if the reference point is still,you will be able to see if the object is in motion. If you had a reference point that wasn't stationary, you wouldn't be able to tell if the object was in motion.

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

$D\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, D = width of slit

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Here, $\sin\theta$ should be maximum.

So. maximum value of $\sin\theta$ is 1

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=\lambda$

(b). If the minimum number is 50

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=50\lambda$

(c). If the minimum number is 1000

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=1000\lambda$

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

14. A rocket is shot up into the air and then comes back down and hits the ground 9.2 second later.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

105.8 m

46 m/s

Explanation:

From the time the rocket is launched to the time it reaches its maximum height:

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t = 9.2 s / 2 = 4.6 s

Find: Δy and v₀

Δy = vt − ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (4.6 s) − ½ (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s)²

Δy = 105.8 m

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s) + v₀

v₀ = 46 m/s
