Answer:

d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

An optical engineer needs to ensure that the bright fringes from a double-slit are 15.7 mm apart on a detector that is  1.70m from the slits. If the slits are illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 633 nm, how far apart should the slits be?

The answer can be given by using the formula derived from Young's Double Slit Experiment:

y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\d  =\frac{\lambda L}{y}\\\\

where,

d = slit separation = ?

λ = wavelength = 633 nm = 6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = distance from screen (detector) = 1.7 m

y = distance between bright fringes = 15.7 mm = 0.0157 m

Therefore,

d = \frac{(6.33\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(1.7\ m)}{0.0157\ m}\\\\

<u>d = 68.5 x 10⁻⁶ m = 68.5 μm</u>

6) Find the speed a spherical raindrop would attain by falling from 4.00 km. Do this:a) In the absence of air dragb) In the pres
sleet_krkn [62]

We are asked to determine the velocity of a rain drop if it falls from 4 km.

To do that we will use the following formula:

2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2

Where:

\begin{gathered} a=\text{ acceleration} \\ h=\text{ height} \\ v_f,v_0=\text{ final and initial velocity} \end{gathered}

If we assume the initial velocity to be 0 we get:

2ah=v_f^2

The acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity:

2gh=v_f^2

Now, we take the square root to both sides:

\sqrt{2gh}=v_f

Now, we substitute the values:

\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(4000m)}=v_f

solving the operations:

280\frac{m}{s}=v

Therefore, the velocity without air drag is 280 m/s.

Part B. we are asked to determine the velocity if there is air drag. To do that we will use the following formula:

F_d=\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}Av^2

Where:

\begin{gathered} F_d=drag\text{ force} \\ C=\text{ constant} \\ \rho_{air}=\text{ density of air} \\ A=\text{ area} \\ v=\text{ velocity} \end{gathered}

We need to determine the drag force. To do that we will use the following free-body diagram:

Since the velocity that the raindrop reaches is the terminal velocity and its a constant velocity this means that the acceleration is zero and therefore the forces are balanced:

F_d=mg

Now, we determine the mass of the raindrop using the following formula:

m=\rho_{water}V

Where:

\begin{gathered} \rho_{water}=\text{ density of water} \\ V=\text{ volume} \end{gathered}

The volume is the volume of a sphere, therefore:

m=\rho_{water}(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)

Since the diameter of the raindrop is 3 millimeters, the radius is 1.5 mm or 0.0015 meters. Substituting we get:

m=(0.98\times10^3\frac{kg}{m^3})(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.0015m)^3)

Solving the operations:

m=1.39\times10^{-5}kg

Now, we substitute the values in the formula for the drag force:

F_d=(1.39\times10^{-5}kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})

Solving the operations:

F_d=1.36\times10^{-4}N

Now, we substitute in the formula:

1.36\times10^{-4}N=\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}Av^2

Now, we solve for the velocity:

\frac{1.36\times10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}A}=v^2

Now, we substitute the values. We will use the area of a circle:

\frac{1.36\times10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21\frac{kg}{m^3})(\pi r^2)}=v^2

Substituting the radius:

\frac{1.36\cdot10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21\frac{kg}{m^{3}})(\pi(0.0015m)^2)}=v^2

Solving the operations:

70.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}=v^2

Now, we take the square root to both sides:

\begin{gathered} \sqrt{70.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}}=v \\  \\ 8.4\frac{m}{s}=v \\  \end{gathered}

Therefore, the velocity is 8.4 m/s

A woman has a mass of 55kg on earth, what is her mass on the moon​
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

55 kg

Explanation:

Mass does not change and is not dependant on gravity. So even though your weight will be less on the moon your mass won't change.
