Answer:

Homeostasis: A property of cells, tissues, and organisms that allows the maintenance and regulation of the stability and constancy needed to function properly. Homeostasis is a healthy state that is maintained by the constant adjustment of biochemical and physiological pathways.

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 x
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 Ferris wheel has diameter of 10 m. It rotates at a uniform rate and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670
Nikolay [14]

Answer:  459.14 N

Explanation:

from the question, we have

diameter = 10 m

radius (r)  = 5 m

weight (Fw) = 670 N

time (t) = 8 seconds

Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below

∑ F = F c =  F w − Fn ..............equation 1

Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2

substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have

Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r

Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2)   ..........equation 3

Fw (mass of the person) = mg

therefore m = Fw / g

                m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg

now substituting  our values into equation 3

Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)

Fn = 670 - 210.86

Fn = 459.14 N

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6m/s and a wave length of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
erastovalidia [21]
Frequency = speed / wavelength

(6 m/s) / (12 m) = 0.5 Hz.

That's not infrared light.
Infrared light waves move about 50 million times faster than that, and they're only about 0.00000007 as long as that.

Rob is studying for an exam. He listed some properties of magnets in a Maglev train.
fredd [130]
The answer is the third one. Maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation in which trains skim on a guideway utilizing the guideline of attractive shock. Every magnet has two shafts. Presently in the event that you play with two magnets, you'll understand that inverse shafts pull in, though comparable posts repulse. This shocking property of magnets is utilized as a part of Maglev trains. However,instead of utilizing lasting magnets, the standard of electromagnetism is utilized to make solid and huge impermanent magnets. At the point when an electric current is gone through a loop of wire, attractive field is created around the curl as indicated by Faraday's laws.
