Answer:

The amount of Kinetic energy added to the system is 2334.3J

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of object, m = 83 kg

Relative velocity of the object, v_{mb} = v_{m} - v_{o} = 15 m/s

After the explosion,

mass of the fragment is M and the other fragment, M' = 4M

Velocity of the lighter fragment after collision, v = 0 m/s

Now,

Mass of heavier fragment, M' = \frac{4}{5}m

Mass of lighter fragment, M' = \frac{1}{5}m

Let the velocity of the heavier fragment be v'.

Therefore by the law of conservation of momentum, we have:

Momentum of the object before collision = Momentum of the object after collision

mv_{mo} = Mv + M'v'

mv_{mo} = M.0 + \frac{4}{5}mv'

v' = \frac{5}{4}\times 15 = 18.75 m/s

Now, the change in Kinetic Energy gives the amount of Kinetic energy added to the system:

\Delta KE = KE_{final} - KE_{initial}

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}Mv'^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mv_{mo}^{2}

Since, the lighter particle stops, it won't have any kinetic energy.

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{4}{5}times 83\times {18.75}^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\times 83\times 15^{2}

\Delta KE = 11671.8 - 9337.5 = 2334.3 J

A laser emits two wavelengths (λ1 = 420 nm; λ2 = 630 nm). When these two wavelengths strike a grating with 450 lines/mm, they pr
Westkost [7]

A) Order of the first laser: 3, order of the second laser: 2

B) The overlap occurs at an angle of 34.9^{\circ}

Explanation:

A)

The formula that gives the position of the maxima (bright fringes) for a diffraction grating is

d sin \theta = m \lambda

where

d is spacing between the lines in the grating

\theta is the angle of the maximum

m is the order of diffraction

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

For laser 1,

d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1

For laser 2,

d sin \theta = m_2 \lambda_2

where

\lambda_1 = 420 nm\\\lambda_2 = 630 nm

Since the position of the maxima in the two cases overlaps, then the term d sin \theta on the left is the same for the two cases, therefore we can write:

m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda_2\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{630}{420}=\frac{3}{2}

Therefore:

m_1 = 3

m_2 = 2

B)

In order to find the angle at which the overlap occurs, we use the 1st laser situation:

d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1

where:

N = 450 lines/mm = 450,000 lines/m is the number of lines per unit length, so the spacing between the lines is

d=\frac{1}{N}=\frac{1}{450,000}=2.2\cdot 10^{-6} m

m_1 = 3 is the order of the maximum

\lambda_1 = 420 nm = 420\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the laser light

Solving for \theta, we find the angle of the maximum:

sin \theta = \frac{m_1 \lambda_1}{d}=\frac{(3)(420\cdot 10^{-9})}{2.2\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.572

So the angle is

\theta=sin^{-1}(0.572)=34.9^{\circ}
