Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.

Violet light (λ = 400 nm) passing through a diffraction grating for which the slit spacing is 6.0 μm forms a pattern on a screen

sergey [27]

Answer:

3 order dark fringe

Explanation:

y = Distance from central bright fringe = 204 mm

λ = Wavelength = 400 nm

L = Distance between screen and source = 1 m

d = Slit distance = 6 μm

$tan\theta =\frac{y}{L}\\\Rightarrow tan\theta =\frac{204}{1000}=0.2012^{\circ}$

$dsin\theta=m\lambda\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{dsin\theta}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{6\times 10^{-6}sin0.2012}{400\times 10^{-9}}=2.9982\approx 3$

Order of fringe is 3

So, it is a Dark order fringe

Using an example, explain how small atoms are.

Aliun [14]

Unlike a ball, an atom doesn't have a fixed radius. The radius of an atom can only be found by measuring the distance between the nuclei of two touching atoms, and then halving that distance... Does that answer your question?

. Reem took a wire of length 10 cm. Her friend Nain took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness both of them connecte

Umnica [9.8K]

Given :

Reem took a wire of length 10 cm. Her friend Nain took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness both of them connected with wires as shown in the circuit given in figure. The current flowing in both the circuits is the same.

To Find :

Will the heat produced in both the cases be equal.

Solution :

Heat released is given by :

H = i²Rt

Here, R is resistance and is given by :

$R = \dfrac{\rho L}{A}$

So,

$H = i^2\times \dfrac{\rho L}{A} t\\\\H = \dfrac{i^2\rho Lt}{A}$

Now, in the question every thing is constant except for the length of the wire and from above equation heat is directly proportional to the length of the wire.

So, heat produced by Reem's wire is more than Nain one.

Hence, this is the required solution.
