Answer:

Pressure

Explanation:

Let , us understand by a simple example. Let us apply some force into a needle into a cardboard what we observe , we saw that the needle get into the cardboard.

Now we will apply the same force with a water bottle into the same cardboard , now we noticed that it doesn't get buried into it.

In both examples we noticed that force applied in both the cases is equal but the surface area of the object in which force applied is different.

Here come the term pressure.

Pressure is defined as force applied per unit area.

Therefore , as area increases pressure also decreases . That's why bottle don't get buried but needle go through it.

Given info

d = 0.000250 meters = distance between slits

L = 302 cm = 0.302 meters = distance from slits to screen

$\theta_8 = 1.12^{\circ}$ = angle to 8th max (note how m = 8 since we're comparing this to the form $\theta_m$ )

$x_n = x_5 = 3.33 \text{ cm} = 0.0333 \text{ meters}$ (n = 5 as we're dealing with the 5th minimum )

---------------

Method 1

$d\sin(\theta_m) = m\lambda\\\\0.000250\sin(\theta_8) = 8\lambda\\\\8\lambda = 0.000250\sin(1.12^{\circ})\\\\\lambda = \frac{0.000250\sin(1.12^{\circ})}{8}\\\\\lambda \approx 0.000 000 61082633\\\\\lambda \approx 6.1082633 \times 10^{-7} \text{meters}\\\\ \lambda \approx 6.11 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters}\\\\ \lambda \approx 611 \text{ nm}$

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

-----------------

Method 2

$\Delta x = \frac{\lambda*L*m}{d}\\\\L*\tan(\theta_m) = \frac{\lambda*L*m}{d}\\\\\tan(\theta_m) = \frac{\lambda*m}{d}\\\\\tan(\theta_8) = \frac{\lambda*8}{0.000250}\\\\\tan(1.12^{\circ}) = \frac{\lambda*8}{0.000250}\\\\\lambda = \frac{1}{8}*0.000250*\tan(1.12^{\circ})\\\\\lambda \approx 0.00000061094306 \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 6.1094306 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 611 \text{ nm}\\\\$

-----------------

Method 3

$\frac{d*x_n}{L} = \left(n-\frac{1}{2}\right)\lambda\\\\\frac{0.000250*3.33}{302.0} = \left(5-\frac{1}{2}\right)\lambda\\\\0.00000275662251 \approx \frac{9}{2}\lambda\\\\\frac{9}{2}\lambda \approx 0.00000275662251\\\\\lambda \approx \frac{2}{9}*0.00000275662251\\\\\lambda \approx 0.00000061258279 \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 6.1258279 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 6.13 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 613 \text{ nm}\\\\$

There is a slight discrepancy (the first two results were 611 nm while this is roughly 613 nm) which could be a result of rounding error, but I'm not entirely sure.

What best describes desert pavements

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A common theory suggests that desert pavements are formed through gradual removal of sand and other fine particles by the wind and intermittent rains leaving behind the large fragments. The larger rock particles are shaken into place by actions of different agents such as rain, wind, gravity, and animals

A particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a ra

blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

$y=\sqrt{1+x^3}$

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Now at (2,3)

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s$

Explain the difference between impulse and impulsive force?

ExtremeBDS [4]

An impulsive force is a force that is acting only during a short time, I mean, for an instant. Impulse is a physics magnitude define by the product of the impulsive force and the time that it was acting.

Is there any mistake in my English? Please, let me know.

How does the distance traveled by the coin compare to its displacement after ten flips?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

To calculate displacement, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your displacement is 0. In physics, displacement is represented by Δs.
