Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Michelson contrast is used for patterns where the distribution of bright and dark segments is nearly equal.

It is given by:

$m= \frac{I_{max}-I{min}}{I_{max}+I{min} }$

where I_max = maximum illumination and I_min = minimum illumination

we know that

typically, I_min = 54% of I_max (general standard)

or I_min = 0.54 I_max

putting this value in above equation to get m

this approximately corresponds to m = 0.3 or 30%

hence, 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast

Answer:

$F=1.98\times 10^{20}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a Moon, $M_m=7.35\times 10^{22}\ kg$

The mass of the Earth, $M_e=5.98\times 10^{24}\ kg$

The moon's mean orbit distance around the earth is, $r=3.84\times 10^8\ m$

We need to find the gravitational force exerted on the moon by the Earth.

The formula of gravitational force is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{M_mM_e}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{7.35\times 10^{22}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{(3.84\times 10^8)^2}\\\\F=1.98\times 10^{20}\ N$

So, the required force is $1.98\times 10^{20}\ N$ .

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.

serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.
