Answer:

  m = 4

Explanation:

The expression that explains the constructive interference of a diffraction pattern is

         a sin θ = m λ

where a  is the width of the slit and λ the wavelength

         sin θ = m λ / a

The maximum value is for when the sine is 1, let's substitute

         1 = m λ/a  

         m = a /λ

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

        a = 2.1 um = 2.1 10⁻⁶

        lam = 475 nm = 475 10⁻⁹ m

let's calculate

        m = 2.1  10⁻⁶ / 475 10⁻⁹

        m = 4.42

with m must be an integer the highest value is

         m = 4

A 10 kg rock falls 5 meters and hits the ground. Did the rock have any energy just
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

495.5 Joules

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 10kg

Height= 5meters

g= 9.81m/s^2

Yes the rock will possess potential energy before it hits the ground

The potential energy is expressed as

PE=mgh

substitute

PE= 10*9.91*5

PE= 495.5 Joules

What value is needed to create a motion diagram? a. position c. time interval b. velocity d. both a and c
Fiesta28 [93]
For classical kinematics, you usually graph position versus time, meaning D. This would be a graph where time is on the x-axis and position (can also be treated as displacement if you consider the net distance) is on the y axis.

How fast is a ball going when it hits the ground after being dropped from a
miss Akunina [59]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{C. 17.7m/s}}

Use the following kinematic equation to solve:

vf² = vi² + 2(ad)

Since the initial velocity is 0 m/s because it started at rest, we can eliminate this part of the equation:

vf² = 2ad

Plug in the given acceleration and distance:

vf² = 2(9.8)(16)

vf ≈ 17.7. The correct answer is C.

A handbag weighing 162 N is carried by two students each holding the handle of the bag
Scrat [10]

Answer:

162 N

Explanation:

Since the handbag weighs 162 N, from Newton's third law of motion, we know that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, it means the force by each student arms Carrying the bag will be 162 N.

Since both handles of the bag are at same inclined angle of 60°, then the force in each students arm will be equal and thus;

F_each arm = 162 N
