Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m

faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.

<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>

It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.

We have the expression for slit width w as,

$w=\frac{2*wavelength*d}{a}$

where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.

Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,

$d=\frac{w*a}{2*wavelength} =\frac{8*10^{-3}*0.17*10^{-3}}{560*10^{-9}*2} \\\\d=1.214m$

Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

I will answer this in English.

We know that the apple needs 5 seconds to reach the ground.

Each floor of the building has a height of 2.88m.

Now, when we drop something, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the apple is:

a = -g

for the velocity, we integrate the acceleration over time, and as the apple is dropped, we do not have any initial velocity, so we do not have a constant in the integration:

v = -g*t

for the position we integrate again, now we have an initial height H, so the position is:

p = (-g/2)*t^2 + H

now the apple hits the ground when p = 0, so we can solve this equation to find H.

i will use g = 9.8m/s^2

0 = (-4.9m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + H

H = 122.5 m

now knowing H, we can divide it by the height of a floor in the building and get the number of the floor.

N = 122.5m/2.88m = 42.5

this means that the apple was dropped in the floor 42 (the 0.5 means that the apple was not right where the floor 42 starts, it was dropped around the middle of the floor 42)

calculate the efficiency of a light bulb that had an input of 400 j transfers 100j as a light and 300j as heat.

beks73 [17]

Efficiency = useful energy out / total energy in x 100
= 100/400 x 100
=0.25 x 100
= 25%

A monkey running through the jungle goes 0.198 km straight to the East, then turns 15.8° deflection from straight East toward th

inn [45]

Answer:

$|\vec r|=339.82\ m$

$\theta=-6.67^o$

Explanation:

<u>Displacement </u>

It's a vector magnitude that measures the space traveled by a particle between an initial and a final position. The total displacement can be obtained by adding the vectors of each individual displacement. In the case of two displacements:

$\vec r=\vec r_1+\vec r_2$

Given a vector as its polar coordinates (r,\theta), the corresponding rectangular coordinates are computed with

$x=rcos\theta$

$y=rsin\theta$

And the vector is expressed as

$\vec z==$

The monkey first makes a displacement given by (0.198 km,0°). The angle is 0 because it goes to the East, the zero-reference for angles. Thus the first displacement is

$\vec r_1==\ km=\ m$

The second move is (145 m , -15.8°). The angle is negative because it points South of East. The second displacement is

$\vec r_2==\ m$

The total displacement is

$\vec r=\ m+\ m$

$\vec r=\ m$

In (magnitude,angle) form:

$|\vec r|=\sqrt{337.52^2+(-39.48)^2}=339.82\ m$

$\boxed{|\vec r|=339.82\ m}$

$\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{-39.48}{337.52}=-0.1169$

$\boxed{\theta=-6.67^o}$

How does the mass affect the speed as it rolls down a slope?

VikaD [51]

As we use the Kinetic energy and the equation is 1/2mv^2, changing its mass will change its speed and its energy. So more mass, more speed more energy. also the gravitational potential energy; mass x gravity x height; more mass and more height more speed as it go down to the slope! Hope it helps!
