Give an example of the of conservation of momentum

1 answer:

3 0

Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. This phenomenon is explained by the conservation of energy and conservation of momentum.

Law of Conservation of energy states the total energy of an isolated system remains constant.

law of conservation of momentum states that in a closed system the total momentum is constant.

<span>In refraction, when a medium changes, the phase velocity also changes but its frequency does not; it remains constant. </span>

The distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating is 1900 nm. The grating is illuminated at normal incidence with a

SashulF [63]

Answer:

3.28 degree

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating, d=1900nm= $1900\times 10^{-9}m$

Where $1nm=10^{-9} m$

$\lambda_2=400nm=400\times10^{-9}m$

$\lambda_1=700nm=700\times 10^{-9}m$

We have to find the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum.

We know that

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})$

Using the formula

m=1

$\theta_1=sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times700\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta=21.62^{\circ}$

Now, m=2

$\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{2\times400\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta_2=24.90^{\circ}$

$\Delta \theta=\theta_2-\theta_1$

$\Delta \theta=24.90-21.62$

$\Delta \theta=3.28^{\circ}$

Hence, the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum=3.28 degree

What Energy transformations when climbing a hill?

elixir [45]

Your kinetic energy goes down and your potential energy rises. This happens till you reach the top or start falling, in which the opposite happens. Hope this helps!

28. Which of the following correctly shows the order of highest amount of friction to the lowest amount of

Bad White [126]

Answer:

$\mathrm{d.\:Static,\: Sliding,\:Rolling}$

Explanation:

Static friction occurs when an object initially starts at rest. When the surfaces of the materials touch, the microscopic unevenness interlock greatest with each other, causing the most friction out of the three.

During sliding friction, an object is already moving or in motion. The microscopic surfaces still interlock, but because the object is in motion, it has a momentum. Therefore, the magnitude of sliding friction is less than that of static friction.

Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls across some surface. Rather than surfaces interlocking, rolling friction is caused by the constant distortion of surfaces. As it rolls, the surfaces of the object are constantly wrapping and changing. This distortion causes the rolling friction. However, it is much less in magnitude when compared to static or sliding friction.
