The following table shows the duration of a year on some unknown planets of equal mass. Duration of Year Planet Duration of Year

Y 224 days Z 320 days Which of the following best explains which planet is closer to the sun? Planet Y, because gravity is directly proportional to square of distance Planet Z, because gravity is directly proportional to the square of distance Planet Z, because the sun exerts a greater gravitational force on it than on planet Y Planet Y, because the sun exerts a greater gravitational force on it than on planet Z

Gravitational force between sun and planet is given by,

F=\frac{GMm}{r^{2}}

Thus, The force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the distance.

Kepler's law states that the square of period of planet is proportional to cube of semi major axis of its orbit.

The time period of planet is more when the gravitational force is less.

Thus, planet Y is closer to earth because sun exert greater gravitational force than planet Z.

monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.75 mm wide. on screen 2 m away, the distance from the central
hjlf

Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity is 1.35 mm , width of the slit  is 0.75 so  Wavelength of the light  is 506.25.

<h3>How to find Wavelength of the light?</h3>

When a wave is bent by an obstruction whose dimensions are similar to the wavelength, diffraction is observed. We can disregard the effects of extremes because the Fraunhofer diffraction is the most straightforward scenario and the obstacle is a long, narrow slit.

This is a straightforward situation in which we can apply the

Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y = mλD/a

Where:

y = Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity =  1.35 mm

λ =  wavelength of the light.

D = distance

a = width of the slit = 0.75

m = order number = 1

Solving for λ

λ = y + a/ mD

Changing the information that the issue has provided:

λ = 1.35 * 10^-3 + 0.75 * 10^-3 / 1*2  

=5.0625 *10^-7 = 506.25

so

Wavelength of the light 506.25.

The type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is _______. The type of function that describes t
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

exponential

Explanation:

type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential because as we know that here function is

y = A × e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}  × cos(ωt + ∅ )    ..................................... ( 1 )          

here function A × e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}   is amplitude

as per equation ( 1 )it is exponential

so that we can say that amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential

What mass of silver (in grams) is solidified when 749 joules of heat are released by a sample of molten silver at its freezing p
Anastasy [175]

heat released Q = 749 joules

heat of fusion of silver L = 109 J/g

Here phase of silver is changing from liquid to solid

so temperature will remain same

all heat will be released due to its phase change

and in this case we use Q=mL

where m is the mass of silver in gram

Q= mL

749 = m * 109

m = 749/109

m = 6.87 gram
