6 0

Answer:

8 units

Explanation:

F=(k*q1*q2)/(r^2)

K is a constant, q1 is charge of 1, q2 is charge of 2, r is distance between the two.

A spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, where x=0 is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from x=0 to x=

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (\Delta x)^2$

where

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretch/compression of the spring

In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

$\Delta x = d-0=d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k d^2$

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

$\Delta x = -d -0 = -d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (-d)^2= \frac{1}{2}kd^2$

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m$

(a) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}$

$\theta=0.104^{\circ}$

(b) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta=10.47^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.
