The answer is 1. 4 is incorrect because you can't really decrease the mass of the driver. 3 is incorrect because accelerating the driver would cause more damage than not. 2 is incorrect because decreasing the distance would only cause more damage. 1 is correct because by increasing the length of time the force acts on the driver helps reduce the speed of the driver and cause the drive to sustain less injuries. Hope that helps.
Answer:
X = 69.1 x 10⁻⁶ m = 69.1 μm
Explanation:
The relationship between the motion of the moveable mirror and the fringe count of the Michelson's Interferometer is given by the following formula:
d = mλ/2
where,
d = distance moved by the mirror = X = ?
m = No. of Fringes counted = 246
λ = wavelength of light entering interferometer = 562 nm = 5.62 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
X = (246)(5.62 x 10⁻⁷ m)/2
Therefore,
<u>X = 69.1 x 10⁻⁶ m = 69.1 μm</u>
Weight of object = mass x acceleration due to gravity
= 2.5 x 9.8
= 24.5N
Hence option B is correct.
Hope this helps!!
