Answer:
If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled , then maximum speed of the oscillator changes by the factor 2
Explanation:
We know that in a simple harmonic oscillator the maximum speed is given by
=
Here A is amplitude which is constant , so from above equation we see that maximum speed is directly proportional to of the oscillation .
Since
= 2
Where is the maximum speed when frequency is doubled .
Answer:
The value is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The initial speed is
Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as
Here is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
And is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as
Here is the escape velocity from earth which has a value
=>
=>
Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as
Generally from the law energy conservation we have that
So
=>

Answer:
Yes, it will produce a diffraction pattern.
a. 3.9 mm b. 1.95 mm
Explanation:
The light shined from a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern because, the wavefront act as wavelets which generates its own wave according to Huygens principle. This therefore causes the diffraction pattern.
Given
wavelength of green light, λ = 520 nm = 520 × 10⁻⁹ m = 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ m
width of slit, d = 0.440 mm = 0.44 × 10⁻³ m = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ m
Distance of slit from central maximum , D = 1.65 m
Distance of first minimum from central maximum, y = ?
a. The relationship between the slit width and wavelength is given by [tex} dsinθ = mλ [/tex]where d = slit width, θ = angular distance from central maximum, λ = wavelength of light and m = ±1, ±2, ±3...
The relationship between y and D is given by
Since θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ
so, dθ = mλ ⇒ θ = mλ/d = y/D
Therefore, y = mλD/d
Now, for the first minimum above the slit, m = +1 and for the first minimum below the slit, m = -1. So, y₁ = λD/d and y₋₁ = -λD/d. So, the width of the central maximum Δy is the difference between the first minima below and above the central maximum. So, Δy = y₁ - y₋₁ = λD/d -(-λD/d) = 2λD/d
Substituting the values from above, Δy= 2 × 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴ = 3900 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3.9 × 10⁻³ m = 3.9 mm
b. The first order fringe is the fringe located between the first minimum and the second minimum. From dsinθ = mλ and tanθ = y/D when θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ. So, y = mλD/d. Let m= 1 and m=2 be the first and second minima respectively. So,y₁ = λD/d and y₂ = 2λD/d. The difference Δy₁ = y₂ - y₁ is the width of the first order fringe. Therefore, Δy₁ = 2λD/d - λD/d= λD/d. Substituting the values from above, we have
λD/d= 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴= 1.95 × 10⁻³ m = 1.95 mm
