Answer:

The angle is the light reflected from the second mirror is 30°

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle between mirrors = 100°

Angle of incident = 70°

We know that,

The incident angle is equal to the reflected angle.

We need to calculate the angle BCA

According to figure,

In $\Delta ABC$ ,

$\angle ABC+\angle BCA+\angle C=180$

Put the value into the formula

$20+100+\angle BCA=180$

$\angle BCA = 60$

We need to calculate the angle is the light reflected from the second mirror

Using relation of incident and reflection

$i+\angle BCA=90$

$i=90-60=30^{\circ}$

We know that, i = r

So, i=r=30°

Hence, The angle is the light reflected from the second mirror is 30°

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(a) 0.17 m

(b) 5.003 m

(c) 6.38 × $10^{-26}$ N

(d) 7.37 × $10^{-29}$ N

Explanation:

(a) The minimum value of $x$ will occur when q3 = 0 m or at origin and q1, q2 are at 0.17 m so the distance between q3 and q1, q2 is 0.17 m, therefore the <em>minimum value of x= 0.17 m</em>.

(b) The maximum value of x will occur when q3 = 5 m because it is said in the question that 5 is the maximum distance travelled by q3. To find the hypotenuse i.e. the distance between q3 and q1,q2, we use Pythagoras theorem.

$h^{2} = b^{2} + p^{2}$

$h^{2} = 5^{2} + 0.17^{2} \\h = \sqrt{} 25.03\\h= 5.002 m$

<em>Hence, the maximum distance is 5.002 m</em>

(c) For minimum magnitude we use the minimum distance calculated in (a)

Minimum Distance = 0.17 m

For electrostatic force= $F=\frac{kq1q2}{x^{2} }$

$F=\frac{9 x 10^{9} x3.2x10^{-19}x 6.4x10^{-19} }{0.17^{2} }$

$F= 6.38$ × $10^{-26} N$

(d) For maximum magnitude, we use the maximum distance calculated in (b)

Maximum Distance = 5.002 m

Using the formula for electrostatic force again:

F = $\frac{9x10^{9}x3.2x10^{-19}x6.4x10^{-19} }{5.002^{2} } }$

F= 7.37× $10^{-29$ N

1. What is energy? What can an object with energy do?

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed.

The cylinder with piston locked in place is immersed in a mixture of ice and water and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium wi

lukranit [14]

Answer:

a. volume of gas: (decreases)

b. temperature of gas: (same)

c. internal energy of gas: (same)

d. pressure of gas: (increases)

Explanation:

We have a gas (let's suppose that is ideal) in a piston with a fixed volume V.

Then we put in a reservoir at 0°C (the mixture of water and ice)

remember that the state equation for an ideal gas is:

P*V = n*R*T

and:

U = c*n*R*T

where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of mols

R = constant

c = constant

T = temperature.

Now, we have equilibrium at T = 0°C, then we can assume that T is also a constant.

Then in the equation:

P*V = n*R*T

all the terms in the left side are constants.

P*V = constant

And knowing that:

U = c*n*R*T

then:

n*R*T = U/c

We can replace it in the other equation to get:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Now, the piston is (slowly) moving inwards, then:

a) Volume of the gas: as the piston moves inwards, the volume where the gas can be is smaller, then the volume of the gas decreases.

b) temperature of the gas: we know that the gas is a thermal equilibrium with the mixture (this happens because we are in a slow process) then the temperature of the gas does not change.

c) Internal energy of the gas:

we have:

P*V = n*R*T = constant

and:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Then:

U = c*Constant

This means that the internal energy does not change.

d) Pressure of the gas:

Here we can use the relation:

P*V = constant

then:

P = (constant)/V

Now, if V decreases, the denominator in that equation will be smaller. We know that if we decrease the value of the denominator, the value of the quotient increases.

And the quotient is equal to P.

Then if the volume decreases, we will see that the pressure increases.

Suppose you are measuring double‑slit interference patterns using an optics kit that contains the following options that you can

svetlana [45]

Answer:

3.6 m

Explanation:

$\lambda_R = 650 \ nm\\\\\lambda_R = 650*10^{-9} m\\\\L \ should \ be \ minimum \\\\i.e \ 0.25 \ mm\\\\= 0.25 *10^{-3} m$

$\lambda_R = 700 \ nm\\\\\lambda_R = 700*10^{-9} m\\\\$

Also

$\beta = 1 \ mm \ fringe \ width$

$D_{min} = \frac{\beta d}{\lambda}\\\\D_{min} = \frac{10^{-3}*0.25*10^{-3}}{700*10^{-9}}\\\\D_{min} = 3.57 \\D_{min} = 3.6 m$

Therefore, the minimum distance L you can place a screen from the double slit that will give you an interference pattern on the screen that you can accurately measure using an ordinary 30 cm (12 in) ruler. = 3.6 m
