Wavelength = speed / frequency = 340 / 17000 = 0.02 m
Answer:
(4) weight
Explanation:
The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle in orbit is given by:

where
m is the mass of the shuttle
v is the tangential speed of the shuttle
r is the radius of its circular orbit
When the shuttle orbits the Earth, the centripetal force that keeps the shuttle in circular motion is given by the gravitational attraction between the shuttle and the Earth, which corresponds to the weight of the shuttle, and it is given by:

where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
And this force, therefore, corresponds to the centripetal force.
Answer:
Both of them reach the lake at the same time.
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²
Vertical motion of James : -
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = g
Displacement, s = h
Substituting,
s = ut + 0.5 at²
h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

Vertical motion of John : -
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = g
Displacement, s = h
Substituting,
s = ut + 0.5 at²
h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

So both times are same.
Both of them reach the lake at the same time.
Answer:
The new separation distance between adjacent bright fringes will be <u>4 mm</u>
Explanation:
Since, the distance between adjacent bright fringes is given by the formula:
Δx₁ = λL/d = 2 mm -------- eqn (1)
where,
Δx = Distance between adjacent bright fringes
λ = wavelength of light = constant for both cases
L = Distance between the slits and the screen
d = slit separation
Now, for the second case:
Slit Separation = d/2
Therefore,
Δx₂ = λL/(d/2)
Δx₂ = 2(λL/d)
using eqn (1), we get:
Δx₂ = 2 Δx₁
Δx₂ = 2(2 mm)
<u>Δx₂ = 4 mm</u>
