Work is force times distance. If there's no distance, there's no work being done.

Auniform thin film of n=1.33 is on top of glass (n=1.5). When monochromatic light with tunable wavelength is directed from above

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is reflection ( two times ) from upper and lower surface of the film . In both cases , reflection is from low to high density medium so there is change in phase of 180 twice .

So for constructive interference

2μd = n λ₁ , d is thickness required , λ is wavelength n₁ is order of bright fringe

For destructive interference ( minimum light )

2μd = (2n+1) λ₂/2

n λ₁ =(2n+1) λ₂/2

(2n+1) / 2n = λ₁ / λ₂

= 650 / 505

= 5 / 4 ( approx )

2n = 4

n = 2

2μd = n λ₁

2 x 1.33 x d = 2 x 650 nm

d = 488.72 nm

When a spring is compressed 2.50 × 10^–2 meter

kompoz [17]

The working of a spring is given by:

$T_{el}= \frac{k\Delta x^2}{2}$

Entering the unknowns, we have:

$T_{el}=\frac{k\Delta x^2}{2} \\ 1.25*10^{-2}*2*J=k(2.5*10^{-2}m)^2 \\ k= \frac{2.5*10^{-2}*J}{(2.5*10^{-2}m)^2} \\ k=40* \frac{J}{m^2} \\ k=40 \frac{N*m}{m^2} \\ \boxed {k=40* \frac{N}{m} }$

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

a hot air balloon weighing 30N is tied to the ground by a string to prevent from floating off the ground. The volume of the ball

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The force exerted by the rope is FT = 225.06 [N]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use a static analysis, since Globe does not move. For a better understanding in solving this problem, a free body diagram with the forces acting on the globe is attached.

The buoyant force acts upward as it causes the balloon to tend to float, the weight of the balloon tends to lower the balloon and the downward tension force does not allow the balloon to float

The buoyant force is defined by the following equation:

FB = Ro*V*g

where:

FB = Buoyant force [N]

Ro = density of the air = 1.3 [kg/m^3]

V = volume of the balloon = 20 [m^3]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

FB = 1.3*20*9.81 = 255.06 [N]

Now we do a sum of forces equal to zero in the y-axis

FB - 30 - FT = 0

255.06 -30 = FT

FT = 225.06 [N]

A 66.5kg astronaut is doing a repair in space on the orbiting space station. She throws a 2.30kg tool away from her at 3.10m/s r

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of astronaut, M = 66.5 kg

mass of tool, m = 2.3 kg

velocity of tool, v = 3.10 m/s

Let the velocity of astronaut is V.

(A) According to the conservation of moemntum

Momentum of astronaut = Momentum of tool

M x V = m x v

66.5 x V = 2.3 x 3.10

V = 0.107 m/s

(B) The direction of motion of astronaut is opposite to the direction of motion of tool.
