In a double-slit experiment, it is observed that the distance between adjacent maxima on a remote screen is 1.0 cm. what happens

to the distance between adjacent maxima when the slit separation is cut in half?

As the displacement of the maxima is calculated with the equation
(displacement)y=(m<span>λD)/slit separation (d)
halving the split separation doubles the displacement</span>

The function x = (1.2 m) cos[(3πrad/s)t + π/5 rad] gives the simple harmonic motion of a body. At t = 9.7 s, what are the (a) di
nlexa [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Let:

x(t)=Acos(\omega t+ \phi)

The equation representing a simple harmonic motion, where:

x=Displacement\hspace{3}from\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}equilibrium\hspace{3}point\\A=Amplitude \hspace{3}of\hspace{3} motion\\\omega= Angular \hspace{3}frequency\\\phi=Initial\hspace{3} phase\\t=time

As you may know the derivative of the position is the velocity and the derivative of the velocity is the acceleration. So we can get the velocity and the acceleration by deriving the position:

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt} =- \omega A sin(\omega t + \phi)\\\\a(t)=\frac{dv(t)}{dt} =- \omega^2 A cos(\omega t + \phi)

Also, you may know these fundamental formulas:

f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi} \\\\T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}

Now, using the previous information and the data provided by the problem, let's solve the questions:

(a)

x(9.7)=1.2 cos((3 \pi *(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} ) \approx -0.70534m

(b)

v(9.7)=-(3\pi) (1.2) sin((3\pi *(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} ) \approx 9.1498 m/s

(c)

a(9.7)=-(3 \pi)^2(1.2)cos((3\pi*(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} )\approx -62.653m/s^2

(d)

We can extract the phase of the motion, the angular frequency and the amplitude from the equation provided by the problem:

\phi = \frac{\pi}{5}

(e)

f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi} =\frac{3\pi}{2 \pi} =\frac{3}{2} =1.5 Hz

(f)

T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} =\frac{2 \pi}{3 \pi} =\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667s

The wavelength of red light is 7 x 10^-7 meter. Express this value in nanometers
3241004551 [841]

  • The wavelength of the red light in "nanometer" is 7× 10^{2}

  • Wavelength is given as : 7×10^{-7} meter

  • 1 nanometer = (10^{-9} meter)

  • Let X= value of the wavelength in nanometer.

1 nanometer  = 10^{-9} meter

X nanometer = 7× 10^{-7}  meter

  • <em>If we Cross multiply</em>

X nanometer = (\frac{     7* 10^{-7} }{  10^{-9} })

X= 7×10^{2} nanometer

Therefore, the wavelength in "nanometer" is 7×10^{2}

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.
