For a demonstration, a professor uses a razor blade to cut a thin slit in a piece of aluminum foil. When she shines a laser poin

ter (λ=680nm) through the slit onto a screen 5.5 m away, a diffraction pattern appears. The bright band in the center of the pattern is 8.0 cm wide. What is the width of the slit?

Answer: 4.675×10^-6 m

Explanation: this is a question under the pattern gotten from an interference experiment.

The formulae below defines the experiment given

y = Rmλ/d

Where y = distance between the center fringe and any other fringe in the pattern = 8cm = 0.08m

m = position of fringe = 1 ( this is because we have only one central band)

λ = wavelength of light used for experiment = 680nm = 6.8×10^-7m

d = width of slit =?

R = distance between slits and screen = 5.5 cm = 0.055m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

0.08 = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7/d

By cross multiplying, we have that

0.08 × d = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7

d = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7/ 0.08

d = 3.74 × 10^-7/ 0.08

d = 46.75×10^-7

d = 4.675×10^-6 m

What causes a decrease in an objects weight
Artist 52 [7]

The mass of an object can neither be change but the weight of the object can be changed.

<h3>What causes a decrease in an object weight?</h3>

The weight of the body or of an object can be changed if the body is placed farther away from the earth or placed in the planet which is far away from the earth's gravitational field, so  the force of gravity on the object will change. However the mass of the body or mass of the object will remains the same  regardless of whether the object is on Earth, in outer space, or on the Moon. By doing so the weight of the object or body will change but the mass remains the same.

So we can conclude that: The mass of an object can neither be change but the weight of the object can be changed.

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} } (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}

Replacing in equation 1

r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2}   }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m

I need help with question 8 .
Vesnalui [34]

The bike is maintaining "constant velocity".  He's moving at 15 m/s when we see him for the first time, 15 m/s later that day, and 15 m/s next week.

The car starts from zero, and goes 4.0 m/s FASTER each second. After one second, it's going 4.0 m/s. After 2 seconds, it's going 8 m/s. And after 3 seconds, it's going 12 m/s.  

This is the point at which the question wants us to compare them ... 3 seconds.  The bike is moving at 15 m/s and the car has sped up to 12 m/s. <em>The bike is moving faster than the car.</em>

If we hung around and kept watching for another second, the car would then be moving at 16 m/s, and would be moving faster than the bike.  But we lost interest after answering the question, and we left at 3 seconds.
