Answer:

Correct option: 1 joule/second

Explanation:

The Watt is the unit of measure of power of the International System of Units, it is represented by the letter W in uppercase, it owes its name to the Scottish James Watt.

The watt is a unit of power that equals 1 joule per second (1J / s). Or the work of moving a mass of 1 kilogram, a distance of 1 meter in a second of time. Hence the equivalence since force by distance is work and time divided by power. A horsepower equals 775 W. Expressed in units used in electricity, one watt is the electrical power produced by a potential difference of 1 volt and an electric current of 1 ampere (1 voltampere).

1 W = 1 J/s
Watt is the unit of measure for power .

Joule is the unit of measure for the energy and the second is the unit of measure for time.

vichka [17]

Answer:

230.26 N

Explanation:

Since the speed is constant, acceleration is zero hence the net force will be given by the product of mass, coefficient of friction and acceleration due to gravity

F=0.72*32.6*9.81=230.26 N

Two narrow slits 0.02 mm apart are illuminated by light from a CuAr laser (λ = 633 nm) onto a screen. a) If the first fringe is

Masja [62]

Answer:

a) 0.063m

b) 2.72°

c) 3151 fringes

d) 1.87*10^-6m

Explanation:

a) To find the screen distance you use the following formula:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}\\\\D=\frac{dy}{m\lambda}$

D: screen distance

d: distance between slits

m: order of the fringes

λ: wavelength

By replacing the values of the parameters you obtain:

$D=\frac{(0.02*10^{-3}m)(0.2*10^{-2}m)}{(1)(633*10^{-9}m)}=0.063m$

b) The condition for dark fringes is given by:

$\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})=dsin\theta$

for the first dark fringe the angle is:

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})}{d})\\\\\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{(633*10^{-9}m)(1+\frac{1}{2})}{0.02*10^{-3}m})=2.72\°$

c) the visible number of fringes is given by:

$N=1+2\frac{D}{d}=1+\frac{0.063m}{0.02*10^{-3}}=3151 \ fringes$

d) the wavelength of a laser in which its first order fringe coincides with the third one of the CuAr laser is:

$y=\frac{(3)(633*10^{-9}m)(0.063m)}{0.02*10^{-3}m}=5.98*10^{-3}m\approx0.59cm\\\\\lambda'=\frac{dy}{mD}=\frac{(0.02*10^{-3}m)(0.59*10^{-2}m)}{(1)(0.063m)}=1.87*10^{-6}m$

Surface tension ____. a. is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid b. may be increased by deterge

laila [671]

Answer:

Surface tension ____. a. is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid b. may be increased by detergents c. is decreased by hydrogen bonding d.

Note: option d is missing

The correct answer to the question is "option A (is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid)"

Explanation:

Surface tension is the most important for small fluid bodies. The surface comes under tension from the imbalanced forces and is often expressed as an amount of force exerted in the surface perpendicular to a line of unit length and it is a direct measure of energy loss per unit area of a surface.

The resistance that a surface shows against extension is a proof that an internal surface tension is present in the surface. Formula for measuring surface tension is: gamma equals force divided by length. The SI unit is newton per meter, dyne per centimeter is also used.

Water has a high surface tension because the water molecules on the surface are pulled together by strong hydrogen bonds. Surface tension of a liquid surface is that property of that liquid surface that makes it act like a stretched elastic sheet. Example of effect of surface tension on water is the flotation of objects denser than water, the separation of oil and water due to tension which arises in surface between dissimilar liquids. In the surface tension of liquid, the net force of attraction acting on the molecule is zero.
