Explanation:

A simple machine that may be used the most often is called the wheel and axle. The wheel and axle has two basic parts: wheel and axle. They can be found everywhere. It has two circular objects which includes a larger disc and a small cylinder both joined at the center.The large disc is the wheel, and the small cylinder or rod is the axle. There may be two wheels attached to the axle.

There are two basic ways a wheel and axle can work together to help move things.

1. The Force is applied to the Wheel

For example, a screwdriver is an example of a wheel and axle. The handle is the wheel where the force is applied. It turns or spins and increases the force of the shaft or axle, which helps turn the screw.

Another example of force being applied to the wheel is when a doorknob is turned. The wheel (doorknob) is turned and the locking mechanism connected to the shaft turns and the door can then be opened.

2. The Force is applied to the Axle

A Ferris wheel is an example of force being applied to the axle. When the axle turns it results in the giant wheel turning. The wheel is much larger than the axle and covers more distance and area. A ceiling fan works the same way.

Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, t
user100 [1]

Answer:

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For this diffraction problem they tell us that it is equivalent to the diffraction of a single slit, which is explained by the equation

<h3>       a sin θ =±  m λ </h3><h3 />

Where the different temrs are: “a” the width of the hair, λ the wavelength, θ the angle from the center, m the order of diffraction, which is the number of bright rings (constructive diffraction)  

We can see that the diffraction angle is missing, but we can find it by trigonometry, where L is the distance of the strand of hair to the observation screen and "y" is the perpendicular distance to the first minimum of intensity

        L = 1.25 m 100 cm/1m   = 125 cm

       y = 5.06 cm  

      Tan θ = y/L

      Tan θ = 5.06/125

      θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.0405)

      θ =  2.32º

With this data we can continue analyzing the problem, they indicate that they measure the distance to the first dark strip, thus m = 1

     a = m λ / sin θ

     a = 1 633 10⁻⁹ 1.25/sin 2.3

     a = 1.96 10⁻⁵ m  

     a = 0.0196 mm

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

A flask contains equal masses of f2 and cl2 with a total pressure of 2.00 atm at 298k. What is the partial pressure of cl2 in th
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Partial Pressure of F₂ = 1.30 atm

Partial pressure of Cl₂ = 0.70 atm

Explanation:

Partial pressure for gases are given by Daltons law.

Total pressure of a gas mixture = sum of the partial pressures of individual gases

Pt = P(f₂) + P(cl₂)

Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure

Let the mass of each gas present be m

Number of moles of F₂ = m/38 (molar mass of fluorine = 38 g/Lol

Number of moles of Cl₂ = m/71 (molar mass of Cl₂)

Mole fraction of F₂ = (m/38)/((m/38) + (m/71)) = 0.65

Mole fraction of Cl₂ = (m/71)/((m/38) + (m/71)) = 0.35 or just 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Partial Pressure of F₂ = 0.65 × 2 = 1.30 atm

Partial pressure of Cl₂ = 0.35 × 2 = 0.70 atm

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small
Hitman42 [59]
When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.
