Two slits separated by a distance of d = 0.12 mm are located at a distance of D = 0.63 m from a screen. The screen is oriented p

arallel to the plane of the slits. The slits are illuminated by a coherent light source with a wavelength of λ = 540 nm. A wave from each slit propagates to the screen. The interference pattern shows a peak at the center of the screen (m=0) and then alternating minima and maxima. What is the pathlength difference between the waves at the second maximum (m=2) on the screen?

Answer:

The path-length difference is dsin\theta=1.08*10^{-3}mm

The angle is  \theta = 0.5157^o

Explanation:

  From the question we are told that

             The distance of separation is  d = 0.12 mm = 0.12*10^{-3} m

             The distance from the screen is  D = 0.63 m

              The wavelength is \lambda = 540nm = 540 *10^{-9}m

From the question we can deduce that the the two  maxima's are at the m=0 and m=2

   Now the path difference for this second maxima is mathematically represented as

                   d sin \theta = m \lambda

  Where ddsin\theta is the path length difference

Substituting values

        dsin \theta = 2 * 540*10^{-9}

                 dsin\theta = 1.08*10^{-6}m

converting to mm

               dsin\theta = 1.08*10^{-6} * 1000 mm

                        dsin\theta=1.08*10^{-3}mm

To obtain the angle we make \theta the subject

             \theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]

 Substituting values

             \theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{1.08*10^{-6}}{0.12*10^-3} ]

               \theta = 0.5157^o

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

8.37*10^5 rpm

Explanation:

Given that rotational kinetic energy = 4.66*10^9J

Mass of the fly wheel (m) = 19.7 kg

Radius of the fly wheel (r) = 0.351 m

Moment of inertia (I) = \frac{1}{2} mr ^2

Rotational K.E is illustrated as (K.E)_{rt} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(K.E)_{rt}}{I} }

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(KE)_{rt}}{1/2 mr^2} }

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4(K.E)_{rt}}{mr^2} }

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4*4.66*10^9J}{19.7kg*(0.351)^2} }

\omega = 87636.04

\omega = 8.76*10^4 rad/s

Since 1 rpm = \frac{2 \pi}{60}  rad/s

\omega = 8.76*10^4(\frac{60}{2 \pi})

\omega = 836518.38

\omega = 8.37 *10^5 rpm

A body travels at an initial speed of 2.5 m/s. Given a constant acceleration of 0.2 m/s 2 what is the speed of the body at time
garri49 [273]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

u = 2.5 m/s

a = 0.2 m/s/s

t = 25 seconds

v = v m/s

<u>Solving for 'v':</u>

From the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

Replacing the values

v = 2.5 + (0.2)(25)

v = 2.5 + 5

v = 7.5 m/s

An electron has a charge of 1.602 X 10-19.coulomb. When two electrons are separated by 1.2 X 10-9m, what force will they exert o
amid [387]

Answer:

The force they will exert on each other is 1.6*10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force is the interaction that occurs between bodies that have an electric charge. When the charges are at rest, the interaction between them is called the electrostatic force. Depending on the sign of the interacting charges, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive. The electrostatic interaction between charges of the same sign is repulsive, while the interaction between charges of the opposite sign is attractive.

Coulomb's law is used to calculate the electric force acting between two charges at rest. This force depends on the distance "r" between the electrons and the charge of both.

Coulomb's law is represented by:

F=k*\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2} }

where:

  • F = electric force of attraction or repulsion in Newtons (N). Like charges repel and opposite charges attract.
  • k = is the Coulomb constant or electrical constant of proportionality.
  • q = value of the electric charges measured in Coulomb (C).
  • r = distance that separates the charges and that is measured in meters (m).

In this case:

  • k= 9*10⁹ \frac{N*m^{2} }{C^{2} }
  • q1= 1.602*10⁻¹⁹ C
  • q2= 1.602*10⁻¹⁹ C
  • r= 1.2*10⁻⁹ m

Replacing:

F=9*10^{9} \frac{N*m^{2} }{C^{2} }*\frac{1.602*10^{-19} C*1.602*10^{-19} C}{(1.2*10^{-9} )^{2} }

and solving you get:

F=1.6*10⁻¹⁰ N

<u><em>The force they will exert on each other is 1.6*10⁻¹⁰ N</em></u>
