Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.7 x 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

$\lambda = 570\ nm$

Explanation:

Given,

Width of slit, W = 5.7 x 10⁻⁴ m

Distance between central bright fringe, L = 4 m

distance between central bright fringe and first dark fringe, y = 4 mm

Diffraction angle

$tan \theta = \dfrac{y}{L}$

$tan \theta = \dfrac{4}{4\times 10^3}$

$\theta = 0.0572$

Now.

$W sin \theta = m \lambda$

m = 1

$5.7 \times 10^{-4} \times sin (0.0572) = 1 \times \lambda$

$\lambda = 569.99 \times 10^{-9}\ m$

$\lambda = 570\ nm$

Determine the gravitational potential energy, in kJ, of 3 m3 of liquid water at an elevation of 40 m above the surface of Earth.

melomori [17]

Explanation:

We will calculate the gravitational potential energy as follows.

$P.E_{1} = mgz_{1}$

$P.E_{1} = (\rho V)gz_{1}$

= $1000 kg/m^{3} \times 3 m^{3} \times 9.7 \times 40 m$

= 1164000 J

or, = 1164 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now, we will calculate the change in potential energy as follows.

$\Delta P.E = mg(z_{2} - z_{1})$

= $\rho \times V \times g (z_{2} - z_{1})$

= $1000 \times 3 \times 9.7 (10 - 40)m$

= -873000 J

or, = -873 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that change in gravitational potential energy is -873 kJ.

A professor drives off with his car (mass 870 kg), but forgot to take his coffee mug (mass 0.47 kg) off the roof. The coefficien

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: $6.86 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

mas of car=870 kg

coffee mug mass=0.47 kg

coefficient of static friction between mug and roof $\mu _s= 0.7$

Coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu _k=0.5$

maximum car acceleration is $\mu \times g$

here coefficient of static friction comes in to action because mug is placed over car . If mug is moving relative to car then \mu _k is come into effect

$a_{max}=0.7\times 9.8=6.86 m/s^2$

an aeroplane moving horizontally with a speed of 180 km/hr drops a food packet while flying at a height of 490m . the horizontal

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The time the package travels horizontally is equal to the time it takes to hit the ground. This can be calculated using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²; u is 0
480 = 4.9t²
t = 9.90 seconds

Horizontal distance = horizontal speed x time
The speed will be converted to m/s from km/h
= 180 km/hr x 1000m/km x 1hr/3600 seconds x 9.90 seconds
= 495 m

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume per unit time flowing will be conserved

a₁v₁ = a₂ v₂

π r₁² x v₁ = π r₂² x v₂

(0.9 x 10⁻²)² x .35 = ( .45 x 10⁻² )² x v₂

v₂ = 1.4 m / s
