D) because things that are in motion can have both kinetic and potential energy

The answer would be A. Kinetic energy is energy while having motion. Potential energy, like the name states, has stored energy that has potential to do the work.

After a laser bean passes through two thin parallel slits, thefirst completely dark fringes occur at ± 15.00with the original di
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

143 °

Explanation:

a ) If d be the distance between slits , λ be wavelength of light used and at angle θ nth dark fringe is formed then

d sinθ = ( 2n+1) λ/2

for first dark fringe

d sinθ = λ/2

d /λ = 1/ 2 sinθ

1 / 2 sin15

= 1.93

b )

For intensity of fringe at angle θ,  the relation is

I = I₀ cos²θ

I / I₀  = cos²θ/2

Given I / I₀ =0. 1

0.1 = cos²θ/2

θ/2 = 71.5

θ = 143 °

The earth’s orbit around the sun is elliptical. What does this word mean?.
omeli [17]

Answer:

An elliptical orbit is the revolving of one object around another in an oval-shaped path called an ellipse. The planets in the solar system orbit the sun in elliptical orbits. Many satellites orbit the Earth in elliptical orbits as does the moon.

If a star with an absolute magnitude of -5 has an apparent magnitude of +5 ,then its distance is
klio [65]
You asked a question.  I'm about to answer it. 
Sadly, I can almost guarantee that you won't understand the solution. 
This realization grieves me, but there is little I can do to change it. 
My explanation will be the best of which I'm capable.


Here are the Physics facts I'll use in the solution:

-- "Apparent magnitude" means how bright the star appears to us.

-- "Absolute magnitude" means the how bright the star WOULD appear
if it were located 32.6 light years from us (10 parsecs).

-- A change of 5 magnitudes means a 100 times change in brightness,
so each magnitude means brightness is multiplied or divided by  ⁵√100 .
That's about  2.512... .  

-- Increasing magnitude means dimmer.
Decreasing magnitude means brighter.
+5 is 10 magnitudes dimmer than -5 .

-- Apparent brightness is inversely proportional to the square
of the distance from the source (just like gravity, sound, and
the force between charges).

That's all the Physics.  The rest of the solution is just arithmetic.
____________________________________________________

-- The star in the question would appear M(-5) at a distance of
32.6 light years. 

-- It actually appears as a M(+5).  That's 10 magnitudes dimmer than M(-5),
because of being farther away than 32.6 light years.

-- 10 magnitudes dimmer is ( ⁵√100)⁻¹⁰ = (100)^(-2) .

-- But brightness varies as the inverse square of distance,
so that exponent is (negative double) the ratio of the distances,
and the actual distance to the star is

(32.6) · (100)^(1) light years

= (32.6) · (100) light years

=  approx.  3,260 light years .   (roughly 1,000 parsecs)


I'll have to confess that I haven't done one of these calculations
in over 50 years, and I'm not really that confident in my result.
If somebody's health or safety depended on it, or the success of
a space mission, then I'd be strongly recommending that you get
a second opinion.
But, quite frankly, I do feel that mine is worth the 5 points.
