Answer:

b. 450 nm

Explanation:

The wavelength of light can be calculated by using the formula derived in Young's double slit experiment. The formula is as follows:

Δx = λL/d

Δx/2 = λL/2d

where,

Δx/2 = half distance between consecutive dark fringes = width of central maximum = 0.75 cm = 0.0075 m

λ =  wavelength of light = ?

L = Distance of Screen = 1.25 m

d = width of slit = 0.15 mm = 0.00015 m

Therefore,

0.0075 m = λ(1.25 m)/(0.00015 m)

λ = (0.0075 m)(0.00015 m)/2(1.25 m)

λ = 4.5 x 10⁻⁷ m = 450 nm

Thus, the correct option is:

<u>b. 450 nm</u>

A circular loop of wire having a radius of 5.58 cm carries a current of 0.230 A. A vector of unit length and parallel to the dip
Sidana [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Given quantities:

radius = r = 0.0558 [m]

current = I = 0.23 [A]

\vec{B} =

Now we solve this by obtaining the torque acting on the dipole

\tau = M \times B

We obtain the magnetic moment vector M, first, |M| is defined as M = IA, where A is the cross-section area of the loop which is A = \pi r^2=\pi (0.0558)^2= 0.00978 [m^2] then

|M| = 0.23*0.00978 = 0.00225 [A/m^2]

now the magnetic moment vector is equal to the magnetic dipole moment vector multiplied the magnitude we just obtained  \vec{M} = M \hat M

= 0.00225 *

Now:

a ) \tau = M \times B

b) U = -M \cdot B

a) the determinant gives us:

b) the dot product gives = -1*-7.2*10^{-6} = 7.2*10^{-6}[J]

A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of a=3jm/s^2 and an initial velocity of Vi=5im/s.
-BARSIC- [3]

Given the particle's acceleration is

\vec a(t) = \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\vec\jmath

with initial velocity

\vec v(0) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath

and starting at the origin, so that

\vec r(0) = \vec 0

you can compute the velocity and position functions by applying the fundamental theorem of calculus:

\vec v(t) = \vec v(0) + \displaystyle \int_0^t \vec a(u)\,\mathrm du

\vec r(t) = \vec r(0) + \displaystyle \int_0^t \vec v(u)\,\mathrm du

We have

• velocity at time <em>t</em> :

\vec v(t) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath + \displaystyle \int_0^t \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\,\vec\jmath\,\mathrm du \\\\ \vec v(t) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath + \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\vec\jmath \\\\ \boxed{\vec v(t) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath + \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\vec\jmath}

• position at time <em>t</em> :

\vec r(t) = \displaystyle \int_0^t \left(\left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath + \left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\vec\jmath\right) \,\mathrm du \\\\ \boxed{\vec r(t) = \left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\,\vec\imath + \frac12 \left(3\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\,\vec\jmath}

What force is required to accelerate a body with a mass of 15 kilograms at a rate of 8 m/s²?
Dominik [7]
Force is defined as Mass multiplied by Acceleration, or F = MA.
We have our mass, 15 kg.
We also have our acceleration, 8 m/s^2.
Let's plug in our numbers and solve.

F = 15(8)
Multiply 8 by 15.
8 • 15 = 120.

Your Force is 120.
Remember, the unit of measure for Force is Newtons (N).

Your final answer is:

120N.

I hope this helps!
