A flat screen is located 0.55 m away from a single slit. Light with a wavelength of 544 nm (in vacuum) shines through the slit a
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern is given as

Sinθ = mλ/ω

Where m=1,2,3,4....

Now, when m=1

Sinθ = λ/ω

Then,

ω = λ/Sinθ

The width of the central bright fringe is given as

y=2Ltanθ. From trigonometric

Then,

θ=arctan(y/2L)

Given that,

y=0.052m

L=0.55m

θ=arctan(0.052/2×0.55)

θ=arctan(0.0473)

θ=2.71°

Substituting this into

ω = λ/Sinθ

Since λ=544nm=544×10^-9m

Then,

ω = 544×10^-9/Si.2.71

ω = 1.15×10^-5m.

A bullet with mass 4.00 g and speed 650.0 m/s is fired at a block of wood with mass 0.0950 kg. The block rests on a "frictionles
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

26.4 m/s

Explanation:

4 g = 0.004 kg

By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum before and after the impact must be the same

P_{before} = P_{after}

0.004*650 = 0.004*23 + 0.095*v_b

v_b = \frac{2.508}{0.095} = 26.4 m/s

So the speed of the block after the impact is 26.4 m/s

What is a type of force that results from turning a corner on a bicycle? ​
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

This force is centripetal force. it is the force that will hold the rider in the circular path and prevent him from skidding off. It is equal to the friction between the tyres and the road if no banking has been done on the road at the corner.
