Answer:

1. Mass

2. Height

3. Gravitational Force Field

Explanation:

The three factors that decide how much gravitational potential energy a body has are: 1) The mass of the body itself, 2) The relative height at which the body is, because gravitational force varies with height i.e distance away from earth surface. 3) and finally the strength of the gravitational field the body is in.

Answer:

Dr = 263 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern for constructive interference is described by

a sin θ = m λ

in this it indicates that the order of diffraction is m = 1

Let's use a direct proportion rule to find the separation of two slits. If there are 600 lines in 1 me, what is the distance between 2 slits

a = 2 lines 1/600

a = 2/600

a = 3.33 10⁻³ mm = 3.33 10⁻⁴ cm

let's use trigonometry

tan θ = y / L

as the measured angles are small

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ sin θ

sin θ = y / L

we substitute

a y/L = λ

y = λ L / a

for λ = 400 10-9 m

I = 400 10⁻⁹ 2.9 / 3.33 10⁻³

i = 346.89 10⁻⁶ m

or λ = 700 nm

y_f = 700 10⁻⁻⁹ 2.9 / 3.33 10⁻³

y_f = 609.609 10⁻⁶ m

the separation of this spectrum

Δr = v_f - i

Dr = (609.609 - 346) 10 ⁻⁶

Dr = 263 10⁻⁶ m

If y = 0.02 sin (30x – 200t) (SI units), the frequency of the wave is

leva [86]

Answer:

31.831 Hz.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

$\rm y = 0.02\sin(30x-200 t).$

The vertical displacement of a wave is given in generalized form as

$\rm y = A\sin(kx -\omega t).$

<em>where</em>,

A = amplitude of the displacement of the wave.
k = wave number of the wave = $\dfrac{2\pi }{\lambda}.$
$\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave.
x = horizontal displacement of the wave.
$\omega$ = angular frequency of the wave = $\rm 2\pi f$ .
f = frequency of the wave.
t = time at which the displacement is calculated.

On comparing the generalized equation with the given equation of the displacement of the wave, we get,

$\rm A=0.02.\\k=30.\\\omega =200.\\$

therefore,

$\rm 2\pi f=200\\\\\Rightarrow f = \dfrac{200}{2\pi}=31.831\ Hz.$

It is the required frequency of the wave.
