Answer:

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;

y = mλD/d

Where;

D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m

d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m

The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.

Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:

y = mλD/d

So, λ = dy/mD

Thus,

λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

The full range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation is called
julia-pushkina [17]
<h2>Answer: electromagnetic spectrum </h2>

The electromagnetic spectrum is the set of electromagnetic radiations distributed in their different frequencies or wavelengths, which in turn are related to their energy.

If we go from the smallest wavelengths known up to now (because according to physics the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite and continuous) to the longest, the electromagnetic spectrum covers the following radiations:

Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light (all the colors we are able to see), infrared, radio waves and microwaves.

Where those with shorter wavelength (or higher frequency) have more energy than those with a longer wavelength.

A 900 kg car moves around a 500 m radius curve at 25.0 m/s. What is the centripetal force on
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

9375 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Centripetal force (F) = mv²/r.................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car, r = radius of the curve.

Given: m = 900 kg, r = 600 m, v = 25 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (900×25²)/600

F = 9375 N.

Hence the centripetal force on the car is 9375 N

2. Three super strong teenagers pull a heavy crate across the floor. Dion pulls with a force of 18.5 N towards 0°. Shirley pulls
kogti [31]

Answer:

A) The resultant force is 43.4 [N]

B) The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the different forces acting on the heavy crate.

In the attached image we can see the forces and the sum of the vector with their respective angles.

Forces in the X-axis

Fdionx=18.5N\\\\Fshix=16.5*cos(30)=14.29N\\Fjoanx=19.5*cos(60)=9.75N\\\\Forcex= 18.5 + 14.29 + 9.75 = 42.54 N

Forces in the y-axis

FDiony=0[N]\\Fshirley= 16.5*sin(30)=8.25[N]\\Fjoany=19.5*sin(60)=16.88 [N]\\\\Forcesy=0+8.25-16.88= -8.63[N]

Using the Pythagorean theorem

Tforce=\sqrt{(42.54)^{2} +(8.63)^{2} } \\\\Tforce= 43.4N

The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis, this can be easily seen in the graphical sum of vectors.
