<span>For this example, the value presented would be considered a statistic. The value is a statistic as it represents a numerical measurement of a sample. If it were a parameter, it would need to represent a numerical measurement of a population.</span>

You illuminate a slit with a width of 71.7 μm with a light of wavelength 737 nm and observe the resulting diffraction pattern on
miskamm [114]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the double slit-experiment. Under this concept we understand the relationship between the minimum angle, depending on the order of the fringes, the wavelength and the distance between slits. Therefore we have the following relation,

sin(\theta_{min}) = \frac{m\lambda}{D}

Here,

m = Order of the fringes

D = Distance between slits

\lambda = Wavelength

Replacing with our values we have,

sin(\theta_{min}) = \frac{(1)(737*10^{-9})}{71.7*10^{-6}m}

sin(\theta_{min}) = 0.01028

Through the relationship between distances then we have that the basic amplification distance is given by the relationship between the distance of the slit L and the angle, then

Y=Lsin\theta

Y  =2.27*0.01028

Y =0.0233m

Thus the width of the central maximum is

W=2Y=2*0.0233

W = 0.0466m

Therefore the widht is 0.466m

1.3 kg of water, at an initial temperature of 25oC, is heated at a rate of 100 W in a well-insulated container. How much time (i
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

68.25 minutes.

Explanation:

Power = Energy/time or

Power = Heat/time

P = Q/t....................... Equation 1

Q = Pt ........................ Equation 2

Where Q = quantity of heat, P = power, t = time.

Also,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ................. Equation 3

Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water, t₂ = final temperature of water.

substitute equation 2 into equation 3

Pt = cm(t₂-t₁) ............... Equation 4

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P................ Equation 5

Given: P = 100 W, m = 1.3 kg, t₁ = 25 °C, t₂ = 100 °C.

Constant: 4200 J/kg.K

Substitute into equation 5

t = 1.3(4200)(100-25)/100

t = 409500/100

t = 4095 seconds

t = (4095/60) minutes = 68.25 minutes.

Hence the time it will take the water to reach boiling point = 68.25 minutes

A car makes a trip due north for three-fourths of the time and due south one-fourth of the time. The average northward velocity
jekas [21]

Answer:

v = 24.5 m

Explanation:

Average speed is defined as

       v = (x_{f} - x₀) / t

The distance is

        x = v t

In this case we can find the speed

       v = (v_nort ¾ t + v_sud ¼ t) / t

        v = 45 ¾ - 37 ¼

        v = 24.5 m

A rock with a mass of 2.0 kg falls from a cliff. At a height of 5.0 meters, its velocity is 6.0 m/s. What is the mechanical ener
REY [17]

Answer : The mechanical energy of the rock is, 134 J

Solution :

As we know that the mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy.

The formula used for mechanical energy is,

M.E=K.E+P.E\\\\M.E=(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)+(mgh)

where,

M.E = mechanical energy

K.E = kinetic energy

P.E = potential energy

m = mass of an object = 2 Kg

v = velocity of an object = 6 m/s

h = height = 5 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mechanical energy of the rock.

M.E=[\frac{1}{2}(2Kg)\times (6m/s)^2]+(2Kg\times 9.8m/s^2\times 5m)=134\text{ Kg }m^2s^{-2}=134J

Therefore, the mechanical energy of the rock is, 134 J
