Answer: In double slit case, you need to understand superposition on waves emerging from dirrerent slit.

Explanation: When passing a single slit, wave spread in all directions.

In double slit waves with equal wavelength travel different path and distance

trey travel is different . Waves meet each other in different positions in different phases. If phase are same, waves have contructive interference, crests of waves meet in same point. Amplitudes of waves are added together. If waves are in opposite phases, sum of amplitudes

ame subtacted and this is destructive interference. Sum of amplitudes are zero.

Find the acceleration that can result from a net force of 13 N exerted on a 3.6-kg cart. (Note: The unit N/kg is equivalent to m

STatiana [176]

Answer:

a = 3.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

To find this acceleration we must remember newton's second law which tells us that the total sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

In this case we have:

$F = m*a\\\\m=mass = 3.6[kg]\\F = force = 13[N]\\13 = 3.6*a\\a = 3.61[m/s^2]$

A steel wire of length 31.0 m and a copper wire of length 17.0 m, both with 1.00-mm diameters, are connected end to end and stre

Brut [27]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 0.356 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of steel the wire is $l_1 = 31.0 \ m$

The length of the copper wire is $l_2 = 17.0 \ m$

The diameter of the wire is $d = 1.00 \ m = 1.0 *10^{-3} \ m$

The tension is $T = 122 \ N$

The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as

$t = t_s + t_c$

Where $t_s$ is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_s = l_1 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_s$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 8920 \ kg/m^3$

$t_s = 31 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{8920 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_s = 0.235 \ s$

And

$t_c$ is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_c = l_2 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho_c * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_c$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 7860 \ kg/m^3$

$t_c = 17 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{7860 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_c =0.121$

$t = t_c + t_s$

$t = 0.121 + 0.235$

$t = 0.356 \ s$

Three charges, q1 = +2.06 x 10-9 C, q2 = -3.27 x 10-9 C, and q3 = +1.05 x 10-9 C, are located on the x-axis at x1 = 0, x2 = 10.0

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The resultant force on charge 3 is Fr= -2,11665 * 10^(-7)

Explanation:

Step 1: First place the three charges along a horizontal axis. The first positive charge will be at point x=0, the second negative charge at point x=10 and the third positive charge at point x=20. Everything is indicated in the attached graph.

Step 2: I must calculate the magnitude of the forces acting on the third charge.

F13: Force exerted by charge 1 on charge 3.

F23: Force exerted by charge 2 on charge 3.

K: Constant of Coulomb's law.

d13: distance from charge 1 to charge 3.

d23: distance from charge 2 to charge 3

Fr: Resulting force.

q1=+2.06 x 10-9 C

q2= -3.27 x 10-9 C

q3= +1.05 x 10-9 C

K=9-10^9 N-m^2/C^2

d13= 0,20 m

d23= 0,10 m

F13= K * (q1 * q3)/(d13)^2

F13=9,7335*10^(-8) N

F23=K * (q2 * q3)/(d23)^2

F23= -3,09 * 10^(-7)

Step 3: We calculate the resultant force on charge 3.

Fr=F13+F23= -2,11665 * 10^(-7)
