When two sticks are laid end-to-end they cover a length of 8.32 feet. One stick is 2.93 ft longer than the other. What is the le

77julia77 [94]

To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

$x+2.93$

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

$x +(x+2.97) = 8.32$

Now solving for x we have,

$x + (x + 2.93) = 8.32$

$2x + 2.93 = 8.32$

$2x = 8.32 - 2.93$

$x = \frac{ 8.32 - 2.93}{2}$

$x = 2.695 ft$

Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.

A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

$\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}$

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

$\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\$

<h3>What is a survey?</h3>

A survey is a useful tool based on population samples, which is used to make statistical analyses in a given investigation.

Differences in surveys are generally due to small sample sizes, which may lead to errors in the analysis of data.

In conclusion, the article is not found here but surveys are important because they are representative samples of a population.

You leave the doctor's office after your annual checkup and recall that you weighed 688 N in her office. You then get into an el

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards

Explanation:

Given:

weight of the person, $w=688\ N$

So, the mass of the person:

$m=\frac{w}{g}$

$m=\frac{688}{9.81}$

$m=70.132\ kg$

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 726\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w_a-w$

$\Delta w=726-688$

$\Delta w=38\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{38}{70.132}$

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is increased here.

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 598\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w-w_a$

$\Delta w=688-598$

$\Delta w=90\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{90}{70.132}$

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is decreased here.
