Sauron [17]3 years ago

6 0

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of light, $\lambda=600\ nm=6\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Angle, $\theta=25^{\circ}$

We need to find the slit spacing for diffraction. For a diffraction, the first order principal maximum is given by :

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

n is 1 here

d is slit spacing

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{\sin\theta}\\\\d=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-7}}{\sin(25)}\\\\d=1.41\times 10^{-6}\ m\\\\d=1.41\ \mu m$

So, the slit spacing is $1.41\ \mu m$ .

Give at least two reasons today’s astronomers are so interested in the discovery of additional Earth-approaching asteroids.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

1. Potential hazard

2. Mining opportunity

Explanation:

The two reason, why astronomers are so interested in the discovery of additional Earth-approaching asteroids:

1. Potential hazard: We have proof that the dinosaurs got extinct because of an asteroid/comet strike on Earth. Also we have seen the effects of the Tunguska event and Chelyabinsk tragedy. These are enough to show us that asteroids can be very dangerous and wipe out the life from Earth.

2. Mining Opportunity: We have discovered a lot of asteroids which contains a lot of metal and precious elements. There can be a possibility of mining such asteroids in the future and reducing the burden on Earth.

A heat engine has a maximum possible efficiency of 0.780. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of-24.8

Volgvan

Answer : The temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Explanation :

Efficiency of carnot heat engine : It is the ratio of work done by the system to the system to the amount of heat transferred to the system at the higher temperature.

Formula used for efficiency of the heat engine.

$\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}$

where,

$\eta$ = efficiency = 0.780

$T_h$ = Temperature of hot reservoir = ?

$T_c$ = Temperature of cold reservoir = $-24.8^oC=273+(-24.8)=248.2K$

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}$

$0.780=1-\frac{248.2K}{T_h}$

$T_h=1128.18K$

Therefore, the temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the

nydimaria [60]

Answer: $F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

$F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}$

where $L\sqrt{2}=$ Distance between the two charges

$F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

$F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}$

The magnitude of force by both the charge is same but at an angle of $90^{\circ}$

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

$F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

$F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

You will be colliding two carts in this lab. Select all the systems for which you predict the total momentum of the system will

baherus [9]

From the momentum conservation we know that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. The momentum in a singular way can be defined as the product between the mass and the velocity of an object. In the presented system, however, there are two objects, therefore the mass of both and the speed of both, before and after the collision must be taken into account. Mathematically we could describe this as

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Here,

$m_{1,2}$ = Mass of each object

$u_{1,2}$ = Initial velocity of each object

$v_{1,2}$ = Final velocity of each object

From here we can realize that it is necessary to use the system on both cars to be able to predict what will happen either with their masses, or their speeds.

The correct answer is C.

Which statement describes the magnetic field inside a bar magnet?

kakasveta [241]

The statement that describes the magnetic field inside a bar magnet is as follows: it points from north to south.

<h3>What is a bar magnet?</h3>

A bar magnet is a permanent magnet of rectangular shape.

A magnet generally possess a magnetic field, which is a condition in the space around a magnet which there is a detectable magnetic force and the presence of two magnetic poles.

A bar magnet like every other magnet possesses a magnetic field that points from the north pole to the south pole.
