The equation we use is mλ=dsinθ for intensity maximas. We are given at the first maximum (m=1), it occurs at 17.8 degrees. Thus we can solve for d by substituting known values into our equation.

(1) (632.8*10^-9m)=dsin(17.8) => d = 2.07*10^-6m

Next we want to find the angle at the second maximum (m=2) so we need to solve for θ.

(2) (632.8*10^-9m) = (2.07*10^-6m)sinθ

θ=37.69 degrees

Hopes this helps!

P.S. I hope this is right. If not sorry in advance.

A carnival ferris wheel has a 15-m radius and completes five turns about its horizontal axis every minute. What is the accelerat
MaRussiya [10]

The acceleration of the person is 4.108 m/s^2.

What is acceleration?

The acceleration is the rate of change in the velocity in a unit of time.

Angular velocity: The change in angular displacement in a unit of time is called angular velocity.

Tangential velocity: The tangential velocity can be defined as the velocity of an object which is perpendicular to the radius in the rotational motion.

The relation between angular velocity ω, tangential velocity v, and radius r from the axis when the radius is perpendicular to the tangential velocity is,

v=ω*r

Given r=15 m, and ω=5 turns/minutes, substitute these values in the above formula.

Note: 1 turn/minute = 2π/60 rad/s.

v=(5 turns/minutes)*15 m

v=(5*2π/60 rad/s)* 15 m

v=7.85 m/s

Since the motion is circular, and the person is at the lowest point of the wheel, so the acceleration due to gravity will have no effect as it is perpendicular to tangential velocity here. The acceleration a for rotational motion is given by,

a=v^2/r

Substitute v=7.85 m/s, and r=15 m in this equation and solve it.

a=(2.094)^2/(15)

a=4.108 m/s^2

A racing car going a 20 m/s stops in a distance of 20 m.What is its acceleration?​
aleksklad [387]

step by step

formular v^2 = u^2+2as

stop v = 0

0 = 400+2a(20)

-400=40a

a = -10 m/s^2

ans affect acceleration is 10 m/s^2

What is the potential energy of a 50 newton object resting on the edge of a cliff 30 meters high?
mojhsa [17]
The potential energy of the object is going to be gravitational: PE=mgh. Assuming we're talking about the gravitational potential energy relative to the bottom of the cliff, the object's height is 30 m. g is 9.8 m/s^2. We don't know its mass. You could technically use the equation F=mg to find the mass, where F=40 and g=9.8, but that's unnecessary. You can just substitute F into PE=mgh to get PE=Fh. Substitute the given values to get PE=40*30=120 J.

3. A hunter shoots a 2 kg arrow accelerating it at 15m/s2 . How much force does this require?
choli [55]

Answer: 30 Newton

Explanation:

Force can be obtained from the product of Mass M and acceleration A. The SI unit of force is Newton.

Thus, Force = MA

Mass of the arrow = 2kg

Acceleration of the arrow = 15m/s2

Force = 2kg x 15m/s2

Force = 30 Newton

Thus, the hunter require a force of 30 newton
