Answer:

Slit separation, d=3.25\times 10^{-4}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of laser light, \lambda=650\ nm=650\times 10^{-9}\ m

Distance between pattern and the wall, L = 1.5 m

The spacing between 10 bright fringes is, y = 3 cm = 0.03 m

We need to find the separation between the slits. According to the equation of diffraction law :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

Where

d is the separation between the slits

For smaller angles, sin\theta=tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{L}

d(\dfrac{y}{L})=n\lambda

d=\dfrac{n\lambda L}{y}

d=\dfrac{10\times 650\times 10^{-9}\times 1.5}{0.03}

d = 0.000325 m

or

d=3.25\times 10^{-4}\ m

So, the separation between the slits is 3.25\times 10^{-4}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

time of collision is

t = 0.395 s

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Explanation:

initial speed of the ball when it is dropped down is

v_1 = 0

similarly initial speed of the object which is projected by spring is given as

v_2 = 16.2 m/s

now relative velocity of object with respect to ball

v_r = 16.2 m/s

now since we know that both are moving under gravity so their relative acceleration is ZERO and the relative distance between them is 6.4 m

d = v_r t

6.4 = 16.2 t

t = 0.395 m

Now the height attained by the object in the same time is given as

h = v_2 t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 16.2(0.395) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81).395^2

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

An aircraft has a liftoff speed of 33 m/s. What is the minimum constant acceleration an
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: The minimum acceleration for the air plane is 2.269m/s2.

Explanation: To solve such problem the equation of motion are applicable.

The initial velocity is 0 since the airplane was initially standing. We are going to use this equation

V^2=U^2+2as

33^2=0+2a (240)

a= 2.269m/s2
