(a) There will be half as many bright fringes on the screen.(b) The bright fringes will be twice as close.(c) The bright fringes will be two times farther apart.(d) The location of the fringes will not change, but they will be a little bit wider and less bright.

Answer:

d) The location of the fringes will not change, but they will be a little bit wider and less bright.

Explanation:

When one blocks half of the grating slits, the intensity of the interacting light is reduced, which reduces the brightness of the light. The angle of interference on the screen increases, thus is due to the reduced intensity of the light beams which makes the pattern become wider.

A small rock is launched straight upward from the surface of a planet with no atmosphere. The initial speed of the rock is twice
Scorpion4ik [409]

If gravitational effects from other objects are negligible, the speed of the rock at a very great distance from the planet will approach a value of \sqrt{3} v_{e}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To express velocity which is too far from the planet and escape velocity by using the energy conservation, we get

Rock’s initial velocity , v_{i}=2 v_{e}. Here the radius is R, so find the escape velocity as follows,

            \frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=0

            \frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}=\frac{G M m}{R}

            v_{e}^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}

            v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}

Where, M = Planet’s mass and G = constant.

From given conditions,

Surface potential energy can be expressed as,  U_{i}=-\frac{G M m}{R}

R tend to infinity when far away from the planet, so v_{f}=0

Then, kinetic energy at initial would be,

                  k_{i}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{i}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}

Similarly, kinetic energy at final would be,

                k_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}

Here, v_{f}=\text { final velocity }

Now, adding potential and kinetic energies of initial and final and equating as below, find the final velocity as

                 U_{i}+k_{i}=k_{f}+v_{f}

                 \frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}+0

                  \frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}

'm' and \frac{1}{2} as common on both sides, so gets cancelled, we get as

                   4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{2 G M}{R}=v_{f}^{2}

We know, v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}, it can be wriiten as \left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}, we get

                4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=v_{f}^{2}

                v_{f}^{2}=3\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}

Taking squares out, we get,

                v_{f}=\sqrt{3} v_{e}

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 6.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the loc
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of ship with respect to water = 6.5 m/s due north

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w}=6.5 \widehat{j}

velocity of water with respect to earth = 1.5 m/s at 40° north of east

\overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}=1.5\left ( Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}\right)

velocity of ship with respect to water = velocity of ship with respect to earth - velocity of water with respect to earth

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w} = \overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} - \overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = 6.5 \widehat{j}- 1.5\left (Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}  \right )

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = - 1.15 \widehat{i}+5.54\widehat{j}

The magnitude of the velocity of ship relative to earth is \sqrt{1.15^{2}+5.54^{2}} = 5.66 m/s
