The momentum of the truck is given by:

p = mv

p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

There isn't too much work to do here; the truck is at rest, therefore its velocity is 0. This means the product of m and v is 0, giving the momentum as 0.

In a thin film experiment, a wedge of air is used between two glass plates. If the wavelength of the incident light in air is 48

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \ m$

The first order of the dark fringe is $m_1 = 16$

The second order of dark fringe considered is $m_2 = 6$

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}$

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

$y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} - \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} - \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = 5 (480*10^{-9})$

=> $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

Hello everyone Lubricants are used in machines.Why?Hope u will answer it good day.Thank You✌️

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Lubrication is used to reduce friction. It is generally used for moving machine parts. The lubricants are the substances which are used to reduce the friction which acts between two surfaces in contact, between which relative motion can occur.
