1. An electric iron has a rating of 750W, 220V. Calculate:

1 answer:

6 0

The equation for electrical power isP=VIwhere V is the voltage and I is the current. This can be rearranged to solve for I in 6(a). 6(b) can be solved with Ohm's LawV=IRor if you'd like, from power, after substituting Ohm's law in for IP=V2R For 7, realize that because they are in parallel, their voltages are the same. We can find the resistance of each lamp fromP=V2RThen the equivalent resistance as1R∗=1R1+1R2Then the total power asPt=V2R∗However, this will reveal that (with a bit of algebra)Pt=P1+P2 For 8, again the resistance can be found asP=V2RThe energy usage is simplyE=P⋅t

A double-slit arrangement produces interference fringes for sodium light (λ = 589 nm) that are 0.48° apart. What is the angular

larisa [96]

Answer:

0.38°

Explanation:

$\theta$ = Angle

m = Number

d = Distance

n = Refractive index of liquid = 1.25

a denotes air

l denotes liquid

In the case of double split interferance we have the relation

$m\lambda=dsin\theta$

For air

$m\lambda_a=dsin\theta_a$

For liquid

$m\lambda_l=dsin\theta_l$

Dividing the two equations

$\frac{m\lambda_a}{m\lambda_l}=\frac{dsin\theta_a}{dsin\theta_l}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\lambda_a}{\lambda_l}=\frac{sin\theta_a}{sin\theta_l}$

Wavelength ratio = $n$

$n=\frac{sin\theta_a}{sin\theta_l}\\\Rightarrow \frac{sin0.48}{1.25}=sin\theta_l\\\Rightarrow \theta_l=sin^{-1}\frac{sin0.48}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow \theta_l=0.38^{\circ}$

The angular separation is 0.38°

What are some examples of non-inertial reference frames?

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Examples of non-inertial reference frames

One clearcut example of an inertial reference frame is an isolated spaceship, far, far away from the Earth, the Sun, the Milky Way Galaxy, and all other massive objects. Fred places a blue ball into a claw at the left end of the ship, and red ball into a claw at the right end of the ship.

Explanation:

Let us say that you are in a car at a stop light. The car is standing still. The light turns green, and the car accelerates forward. While undergoing this acceleration, the car is a non-inertial frame of reference.
