Explanation:

In Single Slit Experiment:

The width of the central diffraction maximum is inversely proportional to the width of the slit.

Therefore, if we make the slit width smaller, the angle T(representing the angle between the wave ray to a point on the screen and the normal line between the slit and the screen) increases, giving a wider central band.

An 67-kg jogger is heading due east at a speed of 2.3 m/s. A 70-kg jogger is heading 61 ° north of east at a speed of 1.3 m/s. F

ololo11 [35]

Answer

given,

mass of jogger = 67 kg

speed in east direction = 2.3 m/s

mass of jogger 2 = 70 Kg

speed = 1.3 m/s in 61 ° north of east.

jogger one

$P_1 = m_1 v_1 \hat{i}$

$P_1 = 67 \times 2.3\hat{i}$

$P_1 = 154.1 \hat{i}$

$P_2 = m_2 v_2 \hat{i} +m_2 v_2 \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times v cos \theta \hat{i} +70\times v sin \theta \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times 1.3 cos 61^0 \hat{i} +70\times 1.3 sin 61^0\hat{j}$

$P_2 = 44.12\hat{i} +79.59\hat{j}$

now

P = P₁ + P₂

$P = 198.22 \hat{i} +79.59 \hat{j}$

magnitude

$P = \sqrt{198.22^2 + 79.59^2}$

$P =213.60 kg.m/s$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{79.59}{198.22}$

$\theta = 21.87$

the angle is $\theta = 21.87$ north of east
