Answer:

Explanation:

For constructive interference in thin films by reflected light , the condition is

Path difference =  2μd = odd multiple of λ / 2

Where μ is refractive index of water , d is thickness of water medium and λ

is wavelength of light

λ = 4μd or 4μd / 3 or 4μd / 5

= 4 x 1.33 x 400 nm = 2128 nm

or 2128 /3 = 709.33 nm

or 2128 /5 = 425.6 nm

For destructive interference ( dim reflection )

2μd = multiple of λ = λ or 2λ or 3λ

2 x 1.33 x 400 nm =1064

or 1064 x 2 = 2128 nm

or 1064 x 3 = 3192 nm.

Answer:

An accelerometer is a tool that measures proper acceleration.[1] Proper acceleration is the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame;[2] this is different from coordinate acceleration, which is acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards[3] (by definition) of g ≈ 9.81 m/s2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s2) will measure zero.

Accelerometers have many uses in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are used in inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Vibration in rotating machines is monitored by accelerometers. They are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. In unmanned aerial vehicles, accelerometers help to stabilise flight.

When two or more accelerometers are coordinated with one another, they can measure differences in proper acceleration, particularly gravity, over their separation in space—that is, the gradient of the gravitational field. Gravity gradiometry is useful because absolute gravity is a weak effect and depends on the local density of the Earth, which is quite variable.

Single- and multi-axis accelerometers can detect both the magnitude and the direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because the direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case in which the proper acceleration changes, increasing from zero). Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video-game controllers, to detect changes in the positions of these devices.

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 mm above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: 4.65\ m/s

Explanation:

Given

Distance putty has to travel is 3.5 m

The initial speed of putty is 9.50 m/s

Using equation of motion to determine the velocity of putty just before it hits ceiling

v^2-u^2=2as

\Rightarrow v^2-(9.5)^2=2(-9.8)(3.5)\\\\\Rightarrow v^2=9.5^2-68.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{90.25-68.6}\\\Rightarrow v=4.65\ m/s

So, the velocity of putty just before hitting is 4.65\ m/s

At which temperature will water boil when the external pressure is 17.5 torr
ch4aika [34]
<span>The temperature of water will boil at one hundred degrees celsius when the external pressure is at 17.5 torr. Essentially, it is based off of the vaporizing of heat, as well as the gas constant. This is a matter of solving a physics equation and breaking down the factors that will affect the boiling point.</span>
