Answer:

 L  = 1.15 m

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation

        a sin θ = m λ

Where a is the width of the slit, λ  the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.

The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

          tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ

We substitute in the first equation

           a (y / L) = m λ

The first maximum occurs for m = 1

The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is

         y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm

         y = 0.575 10⁻² m

Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)

       L = a y / λ  

Let's calculate

     L = 115 10⁻⁶  0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹

     L  = 1.15 m

Which of the following examples illustrates static friction?
vivado [14]

Answer:

A box sits stationary  on a ramp

Explanation:

Static friction is a force which keeps an object at rest as it is in the case of the box. It has to be overcome for the object to be set into motion.

Static force of friction is calculated as follows:

F= μη

F is static force of friction.

μ is the coefficient of static friction.

η is the normal force.

) each plate of a parallel-plate air-filled capacitor has an area of 0.0020 , and the separation of the plates is an electric fi
Dvinal [7]
I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
V=Ed
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\
\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to  elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them <span>interchangeably</span>.

If you guys know this answers please help me.
MrRissso [65]

Even though humans share 100% of the same genes, the instructions contained within the genes are not entirely identical. Each person is unique. People have different hair colors, facial structures, and other traits. These differences between individuals result from very small differences in their DNA sequences. DNA also contains many so-called "housekeeping genes" that control important metabolic processes. As you will see, some of the differences in these genes can cause illness.

Although the DNA of any two people on Earth is, in fact, 99.9% identical, even a tiny difference can have a big effect if this difference is located in a critical gene.

What will be the weight (acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of<br> the earth
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The weight will be 1/6 of whatever it is on Earth.

Explanation:

Remember F=ma

If the acceleration decreases by a factor of 6 while the mass stays constant, you can see the force (the weight) will also decrease by the same factor.
