Answer:

0.0667 m

Explanation:

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 400 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = screen distance = 2.5 m

d = slit width = 15 x 10⁻⁶ m

n = order = 1

θ = angle = ?

Using the equation

d Sinθ = n λ

(15 x 10⁻⁶) Sinθ = (1) (400 x 10⁻⁹)

Sinθ = 26.67 x 10⁻³

y = position of first minimum

Using the equation for small angles

tanθ = Sinθ = y/D

26.67 x 10⁻³ = y/2.5

y = 0.0667 m

A rocket is launched from the launch pad at a speed of 700 km/hr.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vm = Δs/Δt

700km/h = Δs/1.5h

700 = Δs/1.5

\frac{700}{1} = \frac{S}{1.5}

S = 700 x 1.5

S = 1050 Km

*(S = Δs)

Answer: The rocket will have traveled 1050 Km

Hope this help ☺

Block A weighs 14 lb and block B weighs 5 lb If B is moving downward with a velocity (vB)1 = 3 ft/s at t = 0, determine the velo
kolezko [41]

Velocity, va2 = 10.5 ft/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the figure:

Length of the cable = Sa + 2Sb = l

∴ vₐ = -2vb

Applying the principle of Impulse and momentum in x-direction

mv_x_1 + \int\limits^t_t {F_x} \, dt = mv_x_2

Limit is t1 to t2

-(\frac{14}{32.2}) (2) (3) - T = \frac{14}{32.2} v_y_2                           -(1)

Applying the principle of Impulse and momentum in y-direction

mv_y_1 + \int\limits^t_t {F_y} \, dt = mv_y_2

Limit is t1 to t2

(\frac{5}{32.2}) (3) - 2T + 3 = -\frac{5}{32.2} \frac{v_y_2}{2}                            -(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2), we obtain

T = 1.6lb

va2 = 10.5 ft/s
