Why is 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast?

Physics
1 answer:
forsale [732]3 years ago
6 0

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

Alina [70]

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is  calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.

A 980 kg roller coaster cart is traveling along a track at 17 m/s before it rolls down a 30 m tall hill (Point A). What will be
MrRissso [65]

The kinetic energy halfway the hill is 2.86\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

If there are no friction forces acting on the cart, we can apply the law of conservation of energy: the mechanical energy of the cart (which is the sum of potential energy + kinetic energy) must be conserved. So we can write:

U_A +K_A = U_B + K_B

where

U_A=mgh_A is the initial potential energy, at point A, with

m = 980 kg (mass of the cart)

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

h_A = 30 m (height at point A)

K_A=\frac{1}{2}mv_A^2 is the initial kinetic energy, at point A , with

v_A=17 m/s (velocity at point A)

U_B=mgh_B is the final potential energy, at point B, where

h_B = 15 m (height at point B)

K_B=\frac{1}{2}mv_B^2 is the final kinetic energy, at point B, where

v_B is the velocity at point B

Here we are interested in finding K_B, so by re-arranging the equation and substituting we find:

K_B = U_A+K_B-U_B = mg(h_A-h_B)+\frac{1}{2}mv_A^2=(980)(9.8)(30-15)+\frac{1}{2}(980)(17)^2=2.86\cdot 10^5 J

Suppose that two point charges, each with a charge of +3.00 Coulomb are separated by a distance of 3.00 meters. Determine the ma
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

9\cdot 10^9 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrical force between the two point charges is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q_1 =q_2 = +3.0 C is the magnitude of each charge

r = 3.00 m is the separation between the two charges

Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(+3 C)^2}{(3.00 m)^2}=9\cdot 10^9 N

In a closed system, a cart with a mass of 1.5 kg is rolling to the right at 1.4 m/s, while another cart of mass 1.0 kg is rollin
bija089 [108]

Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s

P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum =P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s

Hence, the correct option is (c.).

exis [7]

v2 = ?

m1 = 10kg

m2 = 70kg

v1 = 4m/s

E1 = E2

E1 = 1/2 * m1 * v1^2 = 1/2 * 10kg * 4m/s^2 = 80J

E2 = 1/2 * m2 * v2^2 = 80 J

v2 = √(E2/(2 * m2)) = √(80J/(2 * 70kg)) = about 0.76m/s
