D.very small amounts of mass.
Complete Question
One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 2 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 5 m.
Required:
Estimate the diameter of the pinhole.
Answer:
The diameter is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The central maxima is 
The distance from the window shade is 
The average wavelength of the sun is mathematically evaluated as

Generally the visible light spectrum has a wavelength range between 400 nm to 700 nm
So the initial wavelength of the sun is 
and the final wavelength is 
Substituting this into the above equation


The diameter is evaluated as

substituting values


Answer:
43.7 °C
Explanation:
= Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = 
= Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 
= Initial length of brass = 31 cm
= Initial length of steel = 11 m
= Total change in length = 3 mm
Total change in length would be


The final temperature is 43.7 °C
Answer:
a) KE = 888.26J
b) N = 294.5 turns
Explanation:
For the kinetic energy:

The inertia is:

So, the kinetic energy will be:

Now, friction force is:
Ff = μ*N = 0.80*5N = 4N
The energy balance would be:
Kf - Ko = Wf where Kf=0; Ko = 888.26J; and Wf is the work done by friction force.
Wf = -Ff*d = -Ff*N*2*π*R where N is the amount of turns it gives.
Replacing these values into the energy balance:
0-888.26=-4*N*2*π*0.12
-888.26=-0.96*π*N
N=294.5 turns
