Acceleration can be found using one of the following suvat equations:

$v=u+at\\s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2\\v^2-u^2=2as$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the object:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to t

There are several equations used to find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line (they are usually called suvat equation). Depending on which quantities are given in the problem, you can use one of the following equations:

$v=u+at\\s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2\\v^2-u^2=2as$

where

$a$ is the acceleration

$s$ is the distance covered

$t$ is the time

$u$ is the initial velocity

$v$ is the final velocity

Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15Ã—10^(âˆ’2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7

IRINA_888 [86]

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

$sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}$

where

n is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$a$ is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

$\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m$

$a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m$

So we find

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}$

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

$D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m$

The distance of the 5th bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm$

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

$sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}$

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}$

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm$

We know that every object exerts an attraction on every other object and the heavier the object ___ the attraction.

hichkok12 [17]

I don't know what the exact word is, but I do know that the bigger an objects mass is the more it will attract other objects toward it, mainly smaller objects with less mass. it might be gravity or something around those lines....is it a multiple choice question?

As you found out in the previous part, bernoulli's equation tells us that a fluid element that flows through a flow tube with de

8090 [49]

This causes the fluid to increase its speed. Bernoulli's principle tells us that an increase in the speed of a fluid happens at the same time with a reduction in pressure or a reduction in the fluid's potential energy. This necessitates that the amount of kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy stays persistent.

Answer:

n = 1.4266

Explanation:

Given that:

refractive index of crystalline slab n = 1.665

let refractive index of fluid is n.

angle of incidence θ₁ = 37.0°

Critical angle $\theta _c = sin^{-1} (\frac{n}{n_{slab}} )$
