Bob is threatening Tom’s life with a giant laser with wavelength (650 nm), a distance (D = 10 m) from the wall James is shackled

to. (He is still free to move along the wall.) Bob has set up a double slit experiment and Tom must figure out where to position himself such that he is at a point of destructive interference to survive. If the double slit separation is d = 5 μm, where can Tom stand to avoid a laser-full demise?

Answer:

He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 650 nm

Distance =10 m

Double slit separation d = 5 μm

We need to find the position of fringe

Using formula of distance

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

d\dfrac{y}{D}=n\lambda

y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

y=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}\times10}{5\times10^{-6}}

y=1.3\ m

Hence, He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Complete Question

Suppose you hit a steel nail with a 0.500-kg hammer, initially moving at 15.0 m/s and brought to rest in 2.80 mm. How much is the nail compressed if it is 2.50 mm in diameter and 6.00-cm long.What Average force is excreted on the Nail

Answer:

F=2*10^{4}N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.500kg

Initial Velocity V=15.0m/s

Distance x=2.80mm=>0.00280m

Diameter d=2.50mm=>0.00250m

Length l=6.00cm=>0.6m

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

 F=\frac{mv^2}{2d}

 F=\frac{0.500*15^2}{2.80*10^{-3}}

 F=2*10^{4}N

An electron in the beam of a cathod-ray tube is accelerated by a potential difference of 2.12 kV . Then it passes through a regi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

Explanation:

To find the velocity first we put kinetic energy og electron is equal to potential energy of electron

K.E=P.E

\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}  =e*V

where :

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

V is the potential difference

v=\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} }    eq 1

Radius of electron moving in magnetic field is given by:

R=\frac{m*v}{q*B}       eq 2

where:

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

q=e=charge of electron

B is the magnitude of magnetic field

Put v from eq 1 into eq 2

R=\frac{m*\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} } }{e B}

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*V}{e*R^{2} } }

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*(9.31*10^{-31})*(2.12*10^{3})  }{(1.60*10^{-19})*(0.170)^{2}  } }

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

A truck traveling down the highway collides with a slower moving mosquito traveling in the same direction. Which of the followin
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this case, we can call

object A = the truck

object B = the mosquito

Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).

The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:

a=\frac{F}{m}

the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
