Answer:

λ = 1.4 × 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

We are given;

distance of eye piece from the source;D = 1.5 m

distance between the virtual sources;d = 7.5 × 10^(-4) m

To find the wavelength, we will use the formula for fringe width;

X = λD/d

Where X is fringe width, λ is wavelength, while d and D remain as before.

Now, fringe width = eye-piece distance moved transversely/number of fringes

Eye piece distance moved transversely = 1.88 cm = 1.88 × 10^(-2) m

Thus,

Fringe width = (1.88 × 10^(-2))/10 = 1.88 × 10^(-3) m

Thus;

1.88 × 10^(-3) = λ(1.5)/(7.5 × 10^(-4))

λ = [1.88 × 10^(-3) × (7.5 × 10^(-4))]/1.5

λ = 1.4 × 10^(-7) m

A swimming pool has the shape of a right circular cylinder with radius 21 feet and height 10 feet. Suppose that the pool is full

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool is is 6061310.32 foot-pound.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 21 feet

Height = 10 feet

Weighing = 62.5 pounds/cubic

Work = 4329507.37572

Height = 2 feet

Let's look at a horizontal slice of water at a height of h from bottom of pool

We need to calculate the area of slice

Using formula of area

$A=\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$A=\pi\times21^2$

$A=441\pi\ feet^2$

Thickness of slice $t=\Delta h\ ft$

The volume is,

$V=(441\pi\times\Delta h)\ ft^3$

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

$F=W\times V$

Where, W = water weight

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$F=62.5\times(441\pi\times\Delta h)$

$F=27562.5\pi\times\Delta h\ lbs$

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times d$

Put the value into the formula

$W=27562.5\pi\times\Delta h\times(10-h)\ ft\ lbs$

We do this by integrating from h = 0 to h = 10

We need to find the total work,

Using formula of work done

$W=\int_{0}^{h}{W}$

Put the value into the formula

$W=\int_{0}^{10}{27562.5\pi\\times(10-h)}dh$

$W=27562.5\pi(10h-\dfrac{h^2}{2})_{0}^{10}$

$W=27562.5\pi(10\times10-\dfrac{100}{2}-0)$

$W=4329507.37572$

To pump 2 feet above platform, then each slice has to be lifted an extra 2 feet,

So, the total distance to lift slice is (12-h) instead of of 10-h

We need to calculate the water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool

Using formula of work done

$W=\int_{0}^{h}{W}$

Put the value into the formula

$W=\int_{0}^{10}{27562.5\pi\\times(12-h)}dh$

$W=27562.5\pi(12h-\dfrac{h^2}{2})_{0}^{10}$

$W=27562.5\pi(12\times10-\dfrac{100}{2}-0)$

$W=1929375\pi$

$W=6061310.32\ foot- pound$

Hence, The water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool is is 6061310.32 foot-pound.

A 5kg object moving horizontally at 3m/s collides with a stationary 3kg object. After the collision, the 5kg object is deflected

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 5 kg

Speed = 3 m/s

Mass of stationary object = 3 kg

Moving object deflected = 30°

Stationary object deflected = 31°

We need to calculate the velocity of each ball after collision

Using conservation of momentum

Along x-axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}\cos\theta+m_{2}v_{2}\cos\theta$

Put the value into the fomrula

$5\times3+0=5\times v_{1}\cos30+3\times v_{2}\cos45$

$15=5v_{1}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+3v_{2}\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$15=\dfrac{5\sqrt{3}}{2}v_{1}+\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}$ ....(I)

Along y -axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}\sin\theta+m_{2}v_{2}\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$0+0=5\times v_{1}\sin30-3\times v_{2}\sin45$

$\dfrac{5}{2}v_{1}-\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}=0$ ...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

$v_{1}=\dfrac{15\times2}{5\sqrt{3}+5}$

$v_{1}=2.19\ m/s$

Put the value of v₁ in equation (I)

$\dfrac{5}{2}\times2.19-\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}=0$

$v_{2}=\dfrac{5.475\times\sqrt{2}}{3}$

$v_{2}=2.58\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.

At a hot air balloon race, a person on the ground shots a ball of confetti from a cannon to start the race. One of the balloons

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The balloon and the ball will meet after 1.43 s.

b) The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.

Explanation:

The height of the confetti ball is given by the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the ball at time t

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

The height of the ball is given by this equation:

y = y0 + v · t

Where v is the constant velocity.

When the ball and the ballon meet, both heights are equal. Let´s consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference so that y0 = 0:

y balloon = y ball

y0 + v · t = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (y0 = 0)

11 m/s · t = 18 m/s · t -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m/s · t

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 7 m/s · t

0 = t( -4.9 m/s² · t + 7 m/s)

t = 0 and

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t + 7 m/s

-7 m/s / - 4.9 m/s² = t

t = 1.43 s

They will meet after 1.43 s

b) Now let´s calculate the height of the balloon after 1.43 s

y = v · t

y = 11 m/s · 1.43 s = 15.7 m

The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.
