(Solidification) You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DLby shining a laser on two narrow sli

ts spaced 7.5 × 10-5meters apart. However, by placing a piece of crystal in one of the slits, you are able to make it so that the rays of light that travel through the two slits are πout of phasewith each other (that is to say,Δφ!=휋).If you observe that on a screen placed 4meters from the two slits that the distance between the bright spot closest to the center of the interference pattern and the center of the pattern is 1.5 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser? (Just as in DL, you may use the small angle approximation sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ.)

Answer:

The wavelength of the laser, λ = 5.625 * 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Separation of the narrow slits, d = 7.5 * 10⁻⁵ m

The distance between the screen and the two slits, d = 4m

The distance between the bright spot and the center of the pattern, Y = 1.5 cm

Y = 1.5 * 10⁻² m

To calculate the wavelength, λ, of the laser we will use the relationship:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{2d} \\1.5 * 10^{-2}  = \frac{\lambda * 4}{2*7.5*10^{-5} }\\\lambda = \frac{1.5 * 10^{-2} * 15 * 10^{-5} }{4}

λ = 5.625 * 10⁻⁷ m

__________ helps us adapt to our environment. It also generally __________ with age. A. Plasticity . . . decreases B. Developmen
Nana76 [90]
Not sure this is a physics question (probably biology).
Anyway, the correct answer is A):
"Plasticity helps us to adapt to our environment. It also generally decreases with age".
Plasticity is the ability to adapt to the environment. Since this ability is linked with brain functions, and brain functions worsen with age, then plasticity decreases with age.

Because white dwarfs are small, as their name implies, they are hard to see. What is a way astronomers have to find white dwarfs
Bumek [7]

Astronomers find white dwarfs that distinguish them from main sequence stars because white dwarfs get really hot, we can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

<h3>What is a white dwarf?</h3>

A white dwarf is a very hot star that radiated much energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation.

This UV radiation is initially very bright and then these stars become red with time.

In conclusion, Astronomers find white dwarfs they can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

A runner starts from rest and in 3 s reaches a speed of 8 m/s. If we assume that the speed changed at a constant rate (constant
Stells [14]

Answer:

The average speed of the runner is 4 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average speed (a.s) is calculated by dividing the traveled distance (d) over the time needed to travel that distance (t):

a.s = d / t

So, let´s find the distance traveled in those 3 s. For that, we can use the equation of position of an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the runner starts, then, x0 = 0. Since the runner starts from rest, v0 = 0. So, the equation gets reduced to this:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

We have the time (3 s), so let´s find the acceleration. For that, we can use the equation of velocity of an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration:

v = v0 + a · t

Where "v" is the velocity at a time "t". Since v0 = 0, then:

v = a · t

At t = 3 s, v = 8 m/s

8 m/s = a · 3 s

8/3 m/s² = a

So let´s find the position of the runner at t = 3 s (In this case, the position of the runner will be equal to the traveled distance):

x = 1/2 · a · t²

x = 1/2 · 8/3 m/s² · (3 s)²

x = 12 m

Now, we can calcualte the average speed:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 12 m / 3 s

a.s = 4 m/s

The average speed of the runner is 4 m/s.

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

F=\frac{dp}{dt} ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

p=m.v

Now, equation (1) becomes:

F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}

and, \frac{dv}{dt} =a

where: a = acceleration

\Rightarrow F=m.a

also

F\propto \frac{1}{dt}

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

I=F.dt

I=m.a.dt

I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt

I=m.dv=dp

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.
