Answer:
a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm
b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?
t = λ/2n
given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20
we substitute
t = 750 / 2(1.20)
t = 750 / 2.4
t = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm
Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm
b)
Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?
minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;
t = λ/4n
given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50
we substitute
t = 750 / 4(1.50)
t = 750 / 6
t = 125 nm
Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm
Answer:
180 W
Explanation:
The work done by the man against gravity is equal to its gain in gravitational potential energy:
where
(mg) = 720 N is the weight of the man
is the change in height
Substituting,
The power he must deliver is given by
where
W = 3600 J
t = 20 s is the time taken
Substituting,
Answer:
x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m
Explanation:
The center of mass is given by the equation
= 1 /
∑
Where M_{total} is the total masses of the system, is the distance between the particles and
is the masses of each body
Let's apply this equation to our problem
M = Me + m
M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.36 10²²
M = 605.36 10²² kg
Let's locate a reference system located in the center of the Earth
Let's calculate
x_{cm} = 1 / 605.36 10²² [Me 0 + 7.36 10²² 3.82 10⁸]
x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m
