Answer:

6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

The formula can be written as:

sin\theta=\frac {\lambda}{d}\times m ....1

The location of the bright fringe is determined by :

y=L\times tan\theta

Where, L is the distance between the slit and the screen.

For small angle , sin\theta=tan\theta

So,  

Formula becomes:

y=L\times sin\theta

Using 1, we get:

y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times m

Thus, the distance between the central maximum is 3.00 cm

First bright fringe , m = 1 occur at 3.00 / 2 = 1.50 cm

Since,

1 cm = 0.01 m

y = 0.0150 m

Given L = 2.00 m

λ = 518 nm

Since, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

λ = 518 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying the formula as:

0.0150\ m=2.00\ m\times \frac {518\times 10^{-9}\ m}{d}\times 1

<u>⇒ d, distance between the slits = 6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m</u>

A skateboarder traveling with an initial velocity 9.0 meters per second,
meriva

Answer:

25m/s

Steps:

<em> First, The equation v= u + a * t shows us what we need to find, (the finale velocity). </em>

<em />

Second, we substitute the values given:

v= 9m/s + 4m/s2 * 4s

Last, We calculate the values:

Multiply 4m/s2 * 4s = 16m/s  

Add 9m/s + 16m/s

<u></u>

<u>Answer:  25m/s</u>

Hope this helps :)

you decide to work part time at a local supermarket. The job pays eight dollars and 60 per hour and you work 20 hours per week.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

I guess that we want to find how much money you get each week.

We know that the job pays $8.60 per hour.

We know that you work 20 hours per week.

Then the gross pay (the total money that you earn) in a week is 20 times $8.60, or:

20*$8.60 = $172.

Now we know that your employer witholds:

10% + 7.65% + 5% = 22.65%

Then your employer withholds 22.65% of your gross pay.

if the 100% of your gross pay is $172

Then the 22.65% will be:

(22.65%/100%)*$172 = 0.2265*$172 = $38.96

This means that your employer withholds $38.96 of your weekly gross pay.

Then each week you get:

$172 - $38.96 = $133.04

What is the change in internal energy if 60 J of heat is released from a system and 30 J of work is done on the system? Use U =
k0ka [10]

The change in internal energy of the system is +30 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is given by the equation:

\Delta U = Q -W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if it is absorbed, negative if it is released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if it is done by the system, negative if it is done by the surroundings on the system)

Therefore, in this problem, we have

Q=-60 J (heat released by the system)

W=-30 J (work done on the system)

Therefore, the change in internal energy is

\Delta U = -60 - (-30) = +30 J

If the air temperature is greater than the surface (water or land) temperature, there will be a net transfer of thermal energy f
ruslelena [56]

The thermal energy will be transferred from the air to the surface. Hence, the answer is false.

Thermal energy can be transferred from higher temperatures to lower temperatures. It is obey the second law of thermodynamics

"At a very microscopic level, it simply says that if you have a system that is isolated, any natural process in that system progresses in the direction of increasing disorder, or entropy, of the system."

It means that heat energy transferred from the higher temperature and the lower temperature states will absorb heat energy from the surrounding. The thermal energy will be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.
