Answer:

he correct answers are a, b

Explanation:

In the two-slit interference phenomenon, the expression for interference is

d sin θ= m λ constructive interference

d sin θ = (m + ½) λ destructive interference

in general this phenomenon occurs for small angles, for which we can write

tanθ = y / L

tan te = sin tea / cos tea = sin tea

sin θ = y / La

un

derestimate the first two equations.

Let's do the calculation for constructive interference

d y / L = m λ

the distance between maximum clos is and

y = (me / d) λ

this is the position of each maximum, the distance between two consecutive maximums

y₂-y₁ = (L 2/d) λ - (L 1 / d) λ₁ y₂ -y₁ = L / d λ

examining this equation if the wavelength decreases the value of y also decreases

the same calculation for destructive interference

d y / L = (m + ½) κ

y = [(m + ½) L / d] λ

again when it decreases the decrease the distance

the correct answers are a, b

A car of mass 900 Kg is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s. It is brought to rest at 25 m distance by applying the brakes. Calcula

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Assumption: the acceleration of this vehicle is constant until it comes to a stop.

Acceleration: $(-2)\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}$ .

The acceleration of this vehicle is negative because the velocity of this vehicle is decreasing over time.

Explanation:

Let $u$ denote the initial velocity of this vehicle. $u = 10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .
Let $v$ denote the final velocity of this vehicle. $v = 0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ as the vehicle has come to a stop.
Let $x$ denote the displacement of this vehicle. $x = 25\; \rm m$ .
Let $a$ denote the acceleration of this vehicle. The value of $a\!$ needs to be found.

Assume that the acceleration of this vehicle, $a$ , is constant. The SUVAT equations would apply.

The time $t$ required for braking is neither given nor required. Hence, make use of the SUVAT equation $v^{2} - u^{2} = 2\, a\, x$ to relate $u$ , $v$ , $a$ , and $x\!$ .

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for $a$ , the acceleration of this vehicle:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\, x} \\ &= \frac{(0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} - (10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1})^{2}}{2\times (25\; \rm m)} \\ &= \frac{0^{2} - 10^{2}}{2 \times 25}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \\ &= -2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .

When the rate of change of a value is greater than $0$ , that value would become larger over time.
When the rate of change of a value is equal to $0$ , that value would be constant.
When the rate of change of a value is smaller than $0$ , that value would become smaller over time.

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.

The velocity of the vehicle in this question is getting smaller over time. Hence, the rate of change of the velocity of this vehicle (that is, the acceleration of this vehicle) would be a negative number.

A two-turn circular wire loop of radius 0.63 m lies in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.219 T. I

Basile [38]

Answer:

The magnitude of the average induced emf in the wire during this time is 9.533 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius r= 0.63 m

Magnetic field B= 0.219 T

Time t= 0.0572 s

We need to calculate the average induce emf in the wire during this time

Using formula of induce emf

$E=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$E=-B\dfrac{dA}{dt}$

$E=-B\dfrac{A_{2}-A_{1}}{dt}$

$E=B\dfrac{A_{1}-A_{2}}{dt}$ .....(I)

In reshaping of wire, circumstance must remain same.

We calculate the length when wire is in two loops

$l=2\times 2\pi\times r_{1}$

$l=2\times 2\pi\times 0.63$

$l=7.916\ m$

The length when wire is in one loop

$l=2\pi\times r_{2}$

$7.916=2\times \pi\times r_{2}$

$r_{2}=\dfrac{7.916}{2\times \pi}$

$r_{2}=1.259\ m$

We need to calculate the initial area

$A_{1}=N\times\pi\times r_{1}^2$

Put the value into the formula

$A_{1}=2\times3.14\times(0.63)^2$

$A_{1}=2.49\ m^2$

The final area is

$A_{2}=N\times\pi\times r_{2}^2$

$A_{2}=1\times\pi\times(1.259)^2$

$A_{2}=4.98\ m^2$

Put the value of initial area and final area in the equation (I)

$E=0.219\dfrac{2.49-4.98}{0.0572}$

$E=-9.533\ V$

Negative sign shows the direction of induced emf.

Hence, The magnitude of the average induced emf in the wire during this time is 9.533 V.

A student walks the hallway for 25 m stops to talk and continues down the hallway another 10 m what is the distance and displace

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Distance = displacement = 35m

Explanation:

The distance of the student is how far he has gone.

Distance = 25m + 10m

Distance = 35m

Displacement is the distance specified in specific direction. Since the student walk in the sane direction, thence the displacement is also 35m

Which change occurs when an atom undergoes alpha decay?

oee [108]

In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.

This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.
