Answer:

Explanation:

When they encounter boundaries between different media, the waves react according to Snell’s law, and the angle of refraction across the boundary will depend on the velocity of the second media relative to the first

Three point charges are located on the x-axis. The first charge, q1 = 10 μC, is at x = -1.0 m. The second charge, q2 = 20 μC, is

victus00 [196]

Answer:

3.15 N towards the positive x-axis

Explanation:

first charge has charge q1 = 10 μC = 10 x 10^-6 C

second charge has charge q2 = 20 μC = 20 x 10^-6 C

third charge has charge q3 = -30 μC = -30 x 20^-6 C

According to coulomb's law, force between two charged particle is given as

F = $\frac{-kQq}{r^2}$

Where

F is the force between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10^9 kg⋅m^3⋅s^−2⋅C^−2.

Q is the magnitude of one charge

q is the magnitude of the other charge

is the distance between these two charges

For the force on q2 due to q1,

distance r between them = 0 - (-1.0) = 1 m

F = $\frac{-9*10^{9}*10*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{1^2}$ = -1.8 N (the negative sign indicates a repulsion on q2 towards the positive x-axis)

For the force on q2 due to q3,

distance between them = 2.0 - 0 = 2 m

F = $\frac{-9*10^{9}*20*10^{-6}*(-30*10^{-6})}{2^2}$ = 1.35 N (the positive sign indicates an attraction on q2 towards the positive x-axis)

Resultant force on q2 = 1.8 N + 1.35 N = 3.15 N towards the positive x-axis

Blizzard [7]

Complete Question

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced $7.5 * 10^{-3}$ meters apart. However, by placing a piece of crystal in one of the slits, you are able to make it so that the rays of light that travel through the two slits are Ï out of phase with each other (that is to say, Ao,- ). If you observe that on a screen placed 4 meters from the two slits that the distance between the bright spot closest to center of the pattern is 1.5 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser?

Answer:

The wavelength is $\lambda = 56250 nm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of slit separation is $d = 7.5 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance of the screen is $D = 4 \ m$

The distance between the bright spot closest to the center of the interference is $k = 1.5 \ cm = 0.015 \ m$

Generally the width of the central maximum fringe produced is mathematically represented as

$y = 2 * k = \frac{ D * \lambda}{d}$

=> $2 * 0.015 = \frac{ \lambda * 4}{ 7.5 *10^{-3}}$

=> $\lambda = 56250 *10^{-9} \ m$

=> $\lambda = 56250 nm$

. A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. (a) What is the block’s accelerat

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

a) a = 4.9 m / s², N = 16.97 N and b) F = 9.8 N

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law, we write a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane, see attached, in this system the only force we have to break down is weight, let's use trigonometry

sin 30 = Wx / W

cos 30 = Wy / W

Wx = W sin30

Wy = W cos 30

Let's write the equations on each axis

X axis

Wx = ma

Y Axis

N- Wy = 0

N = Wy = mg cos 30

N = 2.0 9.8 cos 30

N = 16.97 N

We calculate the acceleration

a = Wx / m

a = mg sin 30 / m

a = g sin 30

a =9.8 sin 30

a = 4.9 m / s²

b) For the block to move with constant speed, the acceleration must be zero, so the force applied must be equal to the weight component

F -Wx = 0

F = Wx

F = m g sin 30

F = 2.0 9.8 sin 30

F = 9.8 N
