<span>When lava erupts from mid-ocean ridges, it cools rapidly into rock. As it does, it becomes magnetised permanently in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field.</span>

Answer:

When oceanic crust layer of earth pulls apart, magma erupts to the surface at the mid-ocean ridges and develops new layers of ocean floor.

Magma contains ferromagnetic minerals. These minerals align themselves in the direction of earth’s magnetic field reversing its polarity every now and then. When this magma cools down, it freezes in this alignment. In this way first strip is developed.

Later when the earth magnetic field changes its polarity again, the next strip is formed but has opposite polarity to the first strip.

Monochromatic light of wavelength 385 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 3.00 m away, the distance between the second

LiRa [457]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the concept of overlap and constructive interference.

For this purpose we have that the constructive interference in waves can be expressed under the function

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

Where

a = Width of the slit

d = Distance of slit to screen

m = Number of order which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

$\theta =$ Angle between incident rays and scatter planes

At the same time the distance on the screen from the central point, would be

$sin\theta = \frac{y}{d}$

Where y = Represents the distance on the screen from the central point

PART A ) From the previous equation if we arrange to find the angle we have that

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{y}{d})$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.4*10^{-2}}{3})$

$\theta = 0.2673\°$

PART B) Equation both equations we have

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

$a \frac{y}{d} = m\lambda$

Re-arrange to find a,

$a = \frac{(2)(385*10^{-9})(3)}{(1.4*10^{-2})}$

$a = 1.65*10^{-4}m$

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o

borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
$r * F_c = mv^2$

Divide both sides by Fc:
$\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}$
