Answer:

57 N

Explanation:

Were are told that the force

of gravity on Tomas is 57 N.

And it acts at an inclined angle of 65°

Thus;

The vertical component of the velocity is; F_y = 57 sin 65

While the horizontal component is;

F_x = 57 cos 65

Thus;

F_y = 51.66 N

F_x = 24.09 N

The net force will be;

F_net = √((F_y)² + (F_x)²)

F_net = √(51.66² + 24.09²)

F_net = √3249.0837

F_net = 57 N

A transmission diffraction grating with 420 lines/mm is used to study the light intensity of di event orders (n). A screen is lo

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diffraction grating is used to form interference pattern of dark and bright band.

Distance between adjacent slits (a ) = 1 / 420 mm

= 2.38 x 10⁻³ mm

2.38 x 10⁻⁶ m

wave length of red light

= 680 x 10⁻⁹ m

For bright red band

position x on the screen

= n λD / a , n = 0,1,2,3 etc

D = distance of screen

putting n = 1 , 2 and 3 , we can get three locations of bright red band.

x₁ = λD / a

= 680 x 10⁻⁹ x 2.8 / 2.38 x 10⁻⁶

= .8 m

= 80 cm

Position of second bright band

= 2 λD / a

= 2 x 80

= 160 cm

Position of third bright band

= 3 λD / a

= 3 x 80

= 240 cm

A test charge of 13 mC is at a point P where an external electric field is directed to the right and has a magnitude of 4 3 106

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C, but the direction is still to the right.

Explanation:

From coulomb's law, F = Eq

Thus,

F = E₁q₁

F = E₂q₂

Then

E₂q₂ = E₁q₁

$E_2 = \frac{E_1q_1}{q_2}$

where;

E₂ is the external electric field due to second test charge = ?

E₁ is the external electric field due to first test charge = 4 x 10⁶ N/C

q₁ is the first test charge = 13 mC

q₂ is the second test charge = 23 mC

Substitute in these values in the equation above and calculate E₂.

$E_2 = \frac{4*10^6*13}{23} = 2.26 *10^6 \ N/C$

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C when 13 mC test charge is replaced with another test charge of 23 mC.

However, the direction of the external field is still to the right.

A spring has a force constant k, and an object of mass m is suspended from it. The spring is cut in half and the same object is

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

$f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

From frequency of oscillation

$f = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}$

Initially with the suspended string, the above equation is correct for the relation, hence

$f1 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}$

where k is force constant and m is the mass

When the spring is cut into half, by physics, the force constant will be doubled as they are inversely proportional

$f2 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{2k/m}$

Employing f2/ f1, we have

$f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}$
