Answer:

0.0026 m/s²    

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given as follows:

a=\frac{v^2}{r}\\where, v =\frac{2\pi r}{T}

a=\frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}=\frac{4\pi^2r}{T^2}

T=28.0 days\times 24hours\times 3600 s= 2.4\times10^6s

r=240000 mi = 384.4\times 10^6 m

Substitute the values:

a=\frac{4\pi^2 \times 384.4\times10^6}{(2.4\times10^6)^2}=0.0026m/s^2

An electric toy with a resistance of 2.50 Ω is operated by a 3.00-V battery. (a) What current does the toy draw? (b) Assuming th
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

a) The current is i = 1.2 A

b) The charge is Q = 17280 C

c) The energy is E = 43200 J

Explanation:

a) The current is given by the ohm's law wich is:

i = V/R = 3/2.5 = 1.2 A

b) Since the charge is steady we can use the following equation to find the charge amount in that time:

i = Q/t

Q = t*i

Where t is in seconds, so we have 4h * 3600 = 14400 s

Q = 1.2*14400 = 17280 C

c)  The energy is the power delivered to the toy multiplied by the time:

P = 1.2*2.5 = 3 W

E = P*t = 3*14400 = 43200 J

Coherent light of frequency 6.37×1014 Hz passes through two thin slits and falls on a screen 88.0 cm away. You observe that the
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f= 6.37\times10^{14}\ Hz

Distance of the screen l = 88.0 cm

Position of the third order y =3.10 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{6.37\times10^{14}}

\lambda=471\ nm

We need to calculate the distance between the two slits

m\times \lambda=d\sin\theta

d =\dfrac{m\times\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Where, m = number of fringe

d = distance between the two slits

Here, \sin\theta =\dfrac{y}{l}

Put the value into the formula

d=\dfrac{3\times471\times10^{-9}\times88.0\times10^{-2}}{3.10\times10^{-2}}

d=40.11\times10^{-6}\ m

d = 40.11\ \mu m

Hence, The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.
