3 0

Answer:

0.00001581 light years

Explanation:

distance divided by speed of light= 150,000,000/300,000= 500 seconds 8.3333

8.3 minutes

now divide this by 60 x 24 x 365.25. so you will get answer=  

.000015823 light years.

Which statement best describes the difference between strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces?
kari74 [83]

There are four types of fundamental forces in nature.These are named as gravitational force,electromagnetic force,strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

As per the question we have to understand the role of strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

An atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by extra nuclear part consisting of electrons in various orbits.The nucleus contains two basic particles called protons and neutrons .Protons are positively charged while neutrons are neutral.Protons being positively charged will impart repulsive force on each other and may come out of the nucleus.But the nucleus is stable.That is due to the strong nuclear force.

Strong nuclear force is a spin dependent and charge independent force which comes into existence due to the mutual interaction of gluons which binds the protons and neutrons .Hence it is attractive in nature.It's 100 times more stronger than electromagnetic force also.

Weak nuclear force comes into existence during radio -active decay .This force is due to the exchange of ' w' and 'z' bosons[the particles like protons and neutrons having integral or zero spin] which are heavier in nature.The role of it is to change protons into neutrons and vice versa.Its a short range force.

Hence the option D is right.

A tangential force of 1500 N exerted upon the upper surface of a cube of 20 cm edge. Calulate the shear modulus of the cube mata
I am Lyosha [343]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The shear modulus of the cube material is  7.5 \times 10^6  N/m^2. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Given that shearing force applied F = 1500 N  </em>

<em>Displacement produced x = 0.1 cm=0.001 m  </em>

<em>side of the cube =20 cm = 0.2 m </em>

Since the object is a cube the upper surface is  a square and it is on this surface the shearing  

force is applied

<em>area of the upper surface A=a \times a=(20 \times 10^(^-^2^))^2=400 \times 10^(^-^4^) m</em>

<em>shear strain = tan⁡ θ = \frac {x}{h} = \frac {0.001}{0.2} =0.005   </em>

<em>shearing stress = \frac {F}{A} = \frac{1500}{0.04} = 37500 N </em>

<em>modulus of rigidity η = \frac{(shearing \ stress)}{(shearing \  strain)}</em>

<em>= \frac{37500}{0.005}=7.5 \times 10^6  N/m^2</em>

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.047 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.60 m away are 8.9 cm apart n
Svet_ta [14]

Answer::

   \lambda  =  634 nm

  f =  4.73 *10^{14} \  Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  distance of separation is  d =  0.047 \ mm =  0.047 *10^{-3} \ m

       The  distance of the screen is  D =  6.60 \ m

      The  width of the fringe is y  =  8.9 \ cm  =  0.089 \ m

     

Generally the width of the width of the fringes is mathematically represented as

          y  = \frac{\lambda  *  D }{d }

=>       \lambda  =  \frac{y *  d }{D }

=>      \lambda  =  \frac{ 0.089  *   (0.047 *10^{-3}) }{6.60  }

=>    \lambda  =  634 *10^{-9}

=>  \lambda  =  634 nm

Generally the speed of light is mathematically represented as

         c  =  f * \lambda

=>       f=  \frac{ c}{\lambda }

=>         f=  \frac{ 3.0 *10^{8}}{634 *10^{-9}}

=>     f =  4.73 *10^{14} \  Hz
