All but two gaps within a set of Venetian blinds have been blocked off to create a double-slit system. These gaps are separated

by a distance of 5.0 cm. Infrared radiation is then passed through the two gaps in the blinds. If the angle between the central and the second-order maxima in the interference pattern is 0.52°, what is the wavelength of the radiation?

Answer:

Explanation:

separation between two gaps, d = 5 cm

angle between central and second order maxima, θ = 0.52°

use

d Sinθ = n λ

n = 2

0.05 x Sin 0.52° = 2 x λ

λ = 2.27 x 10^-4 m

λ = 226.9 micro metre

A weight of 30.0 N is suspended from a spring that has a force constant of 220 N/m. The system is undamped and is subjected to a
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

F_0 = 393 N

Explanation:

As we know that amplitude of forced oscillation is given as

A = \frac{F_0}{ m(\omega^2 - \omega_0^2)}

here we know that natural frequency of the oscillation is given as

\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

here mass of the object is given as

m = \frac{W}{g}

\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{220}{\frac{30}{9.81}}}

\omega_0 = 8.48 rad/s

angular frequency of applied force is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi(10.5) = 65.97 rad/s

now we have

0.03 = \frac{F_0}{3.06(65.97^2 - 8.48^2)}

F_0 = 393 N

1. El puente mas largo del mundo es el puente Akashi Kaikyo, en Japón. El puente mide 3910 m de largo y está construido con acer
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

It's 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. It represents a 1.6 centimeters difference between seasons.

Explanation:

The linear coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is about 1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1}. From the equation of linear thermal expansion, we have:

L_f=L_0(1+\alpha\Delta T)

Taking the winter day as the initial, and the summer day as the final, we can take the relationship between them:

L_{summer}=L_{winter}[1+(1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1})(30\°C+5\°C)]\\\\L_{summer}=(1.0000042)L_{winter}

It means that the bridge is 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. If we multiply it by the length of the bridge, we obtain that the difference is of about 1.6 centimeters between the two seasons.

What is energy? Where does it come from? What does it do? Explain in 5 or more sentences please! :)
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Forms of energy could be kinetic energy or potential energy. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun. Energy is used to produce work. Electrical energy for lighting purposes and heating in homes and factories.

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work and can be in various forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal, chemical, electrical energy etc.

Energy origination depends on the type of energy form in discussion. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun or an iron box, chemical energy originates from the interaction of atoms and molecules and electrical energy can be initiated by movements of electrons.

Energy is used to produce work. Different forms of energy can do different tasks such as;

Heat energy for heating water

Electrical energy for lighting purposes

Geothermal energy for producing heat and electricity

Nuclear energy for production of nuclear power

Chemical energy for facilitating chemical reactions

A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in 30.0 seconds. Calculate the average acceleration of the rocket.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s² ⇒ 1st answer

Explanation:

A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in

30.0 seconds

The given is:

→ The initial velocity = 0

→ The final velocity = 500 meters per seconds

→ The time is 30 seconds

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of the rocket

→ a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where a is the acceleration, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity

and t is the time

→ u = 0 , v = 500 m/s , t = 30 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ a=\frac{500-0}{30}=\frac{500}{30}=16.6 m/s²

<em>The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s²</em>

A small first-aid kit is dropped by a rock climber who is descending steadily at 1.9 m/s. After 2.4 s, what is the velocity of t
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

v=-21.65 m/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we have:

v_{o}=1.9m/s\\ g=9.81 m/s^{2}\\ t=2.4s

To find the velocity after 2.4s we need to use the following formula:

v=v_{o}+gt

v=1.9m/s-(9.81m/s^{2})(2.4s)=-21.65m/s

The negative sign means that the kit is going down.
