Answer:

w=4.88*10^{-3}m\\or\\w=4.88mm

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter D=0.50 mm

Wavelength λ=500 nm

Length L=2.0 m

To find

Width w

Solution

Circular aperture of diameter D will have bright central maximum of diameter:

w=(2.44λL)/D

w=(\frac{2.44(500*10^{-9}m )(2.0m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m} )\\w=4.88*10^{-3}m\\or\\w=4.88mm

13. What is the acceleration of a 1,000-kilogram truck with a net force of 7,000 newtons?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

<h2>7 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a  = \frac{7000}{1000}  = 7 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>7 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

The acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring, was written by this woman in 1962.
olga_2 [115]
Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment. 
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
