Answer:

The ruling separation must be between 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m and 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

Fringe spacing w = λ·D/s

Diffraction grating, d·sin(θ) = n·λ

n = Number of lines

When θ = 90°, we have, sin(θ) = sin(90°) = 1

Therefore;

d·sin(θ) = d × 1 = d = n·λ

When n = 6 lines and d = 550-nm, we have;

d = 6 × 550-nm = 3,300 nm = 3.3 microns = 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m

Therefore, the ruling separation must be between 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m and 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m.

A gas at a pressure of 2.10 atm undergoes a quasi static isobaric expansion from 3.70 to 5.40 L. How much work is done by the ga
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Total work done in expansion will be 3.60\times 10^5J

Explanation:

We have given pressure P = 2.10 atm

We know that 1 atm =1.01\times 10^5Pa

So 2.10 atm =2.10\times 1.01\times 10^5=2.121\times 10^5Pa

Volume is increases from 3370 liter to 5.40 liter

So initial volume V_1=3.70liter

And final volume V_2=5.40liter

So change in volume dV=5.40-3.70=1.70liter

For isobaric process work done is equal to W=PdV=2.121\times 10^5\times 1.70=3.60\times 10^5J

So total work done in expansion will be 3.60\times 10^5J

Darcy is going to make raspberry jam for the county fair.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

She can make have 30 jars with raspberries in them with 50 left over.

Explanation:

1,700 divided by 55

30 equally

but 50 left over

This means that she can make have 30 jars with raspberries in them with 50 left over.

8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott
nasty-shy [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the <u>bottle.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

In a controlled experiment, a scientist is studying how long it takes feathers of different sizes to fall to the ground. What is
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: independent variable: Size of the feather.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the manipulated/independent variable is, as the name implies, the variable that the scientist can control.

In this case, the scientist has only one variable that he can control at will, and this is the size of the feather (he can choose which feather he uses for the experiment)

So the manipulated variable will be the size of the feather.

And the dependent variable is the one that "answers" to the changes in the manipulated variable.

In this case, will be the time that it takes to the feather to fall to the ground.

In addition to an all-round white light, what light(s) must power-driven vessels less than 65.6 feet (20 meters) long exhibit wh
Lemur [1.5K]
The vessel must also have red and green side lights.

The red light is placed on the port (left) side of the boat while the green light is placed on the starboard (right) side of the vehicle. The white lights are on both the masthead (front) and stern (rear) of the boat, unless the vessel is less than 39.4 feet, in which case the front and rear white light may be combined as only one white light.
